Operation Manual

area by displaying the relevant information, e.g. restaurants or ATMs. The
POI warnings function is active in the show position mode and during
navigation. When the warning function is activated, the system changes the
scale of the displayed map to ensure the maximum visibility of the given
POI.
The "Warnings" window in the POI menu can be used to select POI
categories and set the nature of the "warning" message.
Two POI warnings categories are active by default: "Radar" and "Dangerous
place".
A given point category is selected by tapping on the squares displayed to
the left of the category name. By tapping on the first, dark blue square, the
user displays POI of the given category, which are built into the map. The
second, grey square displays user-defined points (the first square of user-
defined point category, whose name differs from the standard category, is
greyed out).
The "Options" and "View" buttons have identical functions to those on the
"POI Display" screen.
The number of POI warnings categories should be selected carefully to
ensure that the main system functions are not disrupted during navigation.
After selecting point categories, warning parameters can be modified
separately for every category. Tap on the category name to open the
parameters screen.
In the first screen, the user can select points in the given category, for
which warning messages will be active (options of "built-in" points and
"user-defined" points are identical to the squares for selecting point
categories). The user can also define the speed above which the warning
will be displayed:
The "Repeat warning every" option defines the minimal interval between
subsequent warnings for the same POI.
In the second screen of warning settings you can specify whether AutoMapa
will warn of POI located near the route (specifying the maximum distance in
which POIs are detected by the route), whether they are located in the
direction of driving (specifying the angle and radius of POI detection in the
direction of driving, where the bigger the angle and radius, the more POIs
will activate the warning system).
In the last screen of warning settings you can select warning effects on the
map display:
• Voice message – the warning message will be accompanied by a
sound. For POI warning, the distance is provided only if it is big
enough.
• Inform about distance to point - specifies the distance on the
map from the displayed POI icon, and generates a voice message
about the distance to POI.
• Show warning frame – a red frame is drawn around the point
icon on the map.
• Display info – a "balloon" is displayed above the point with the
following information: name and description.
• Show until passed – the warning message for the given point
category will continue to be displayed until the user passes the
point.
• Do not warn of POI on the left on two-way roads - if this
option is selected, the system will warn only of POI located on the
right side of two-way road.
After the user modifies the warning parameters and closes the respective
window, the system will inquire whether the used parameters should be
saved as default. When the user chooses "Yes", every point category
selected in the future will have identical warning message parameters.
