Operation Manual

2.10.1 System layout and operation in
the show position mode
When the GPS position has been set, AutoMapa
automatically switches to the show GPS position mode –
the present position is continuously displayed on the map
as a pulsating arrow in a circle. The map revolves
automatically to show the largest possible area in the
travelled direction, and the user's present position is
shown at the bottom of the screen. By default, the 3D map
view mode is activated. After a short while, the night mode
may be automatically activated if the received GPS signal
indicates time past sundown.
By moving a finger across the screen, the user interrupts
the show position mode, and this mode will be restored
automatically a few seconds after the last movement of the
finger across the map.
A single tap on the screen opens the "Your menu" pop-up
menu.
2.10.2 "Your menu" pop-up menu
When AutoMapa operates in the show GPS position mode, the user can
open the "Your menu" pop-up by touching the screen. If no operations are
performed by the user in the course of several seconds, the menu will be
closed automatically to protect the screen against accidental touching.
By default, this menu offers 6 features, which can be changed or extended
to max. 12 by using Menu | Settings | Buttons.

2.10.3 On-board computer
The "Computer" option is found in the "Your menu" and "Options" menu.
This option opens the panel of AutoMapa system's on-board computer.
The panel is shown to the left, while its contents have been explained below:
The meter section shows the presently selected set of meters. The meters
comprise 4 independent sets of features displayed by the on-board
computer. They can be independently reset and selected for display. Each
set is located on a separate screen which can be switched by selecting the
arrow keys. To reset the meters, select "Reset", from the bar at the bottom
of the screen. Meter sets A, B and C, are reset every time AutoMapa is
started and GPS is activated, while set D is a "permanent" meter – it
continues to run until manual reset.
The speed section displays the following data on the given meter, from the
left: maximum speed, average speed, and average speed including
stopping time.
The distance section displays the following data, from the left: the entire
distance travelled since system activation (or meter reset) and the distance
from the last stop. The route progress bar is displayed above, showing the
percentage of the route travelled so far (only if the route has been
previously mapped).
The time section displays the following data, from the left: total driving
time, total stopping time and driving time since the last stop.
