2.4.2.1 Current GPS position and Lock-on-Road
When your GPS position is available, IGO 8 marks your current position with the icon on the
map.

vehicle type can be selected in Route settings (page 79) or in the Quick Menu (page 66).

If you choose pedestrian: The
icon is at your exact GPS position. The direction of the
icon shows your actual heading.
• If you choose any of the vehicles: The
icon may not show your exact GPS position and
heading. If roads are near, it is aligned to the nearest road to suppress GPS position errors,
and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of the road.
To use the current GPS position, tap
. The Position menu appears and you can save the GPS
position as one of the following:

2.4.2.2 Returning to normal navigation
When GPS position is available, and you have moved the map (the icon is moving or is not
even visible), or you have rotated the map, the
button appears. Tap it to move the map back to
the GPS position and re-enable automatic map rotation.
Note!
Even if you move the map while you are driving, IGO 8 continues navigating if there is
an active route: it plays the voice instructions and displays the turn preview icons
according to your current GPS position.
