Important safety information
In your own interest, read the following notices and safety information carefully before starting up your navigation system.
2.2.1 Safety information on navigation
Use of MioMap is executed at your own risk. Caution: To protect yourself and others from accidents please do not operate the navigation system while driving! Caution: You must not look at the display except when it is absolutely safe to do so! Caution: The road layout and the traffic signs are absolutely prior to the instructions of the navigation system. Caution: You must not follow the instructions of MioMap except when the circumstances and the road traffic regulations allow doing so. MioMap will guide you to your destination even when you have left your planned itinerary. Note: We recommend effecting route planning before beginning the journey. If you are on the road and you want to establish a new itinerary, please drive to the next parking site! Note: If you have not understood the instructions or if you are not sure about what to do next you may quickly refer to the map or arrow view of your navigation system.
Safety information on handling the device
Caution: As it is neither splash proof nor waterproof, do not expose your navigation device to water! For example, protect it from rain, snow or hail when you are on your way by bike or on foot. Caution: Disconnect the navigation device from the power supply when you are leaving the car parked for a long period of time. Failure to do so might result in a dead battery since the internal GPS receiver constantly consumes electricity. Note: Do not use any harsh solvents for cleaning the device. A damp, lint-free cloth is sufficient! Note: Do not unplug by pulling the cable. This might damage the cable!
Safety information on the installation in the vehicle
Caution: Do not fix the holder within the deployment zone of airbags. Caution: When you install the holder, please check that it may not constitute any safety risk, even in case of an accident.

Command buttons with caption
You will find command buttons with captions on almost every screen of MioMap. There is three groups of command buttons: 1. Command buttons with a defined functionality. These buttons are designed to execute a functionality, which is indicated by their caption. They are normally buttons like Save, OK, Cancel, Select map, Navigation etc. 2. Buttons to select one of two possibilities. These buttons are designed to select one of two possibilities. Normally, the current state is indicated by the caption of the button. They are normally buttons like User mode, Yes-No, On-Off. When you tap one of these buttons, the caption switches to the other possibility. This change must be confirmed by clicking another button (normally OK or Save) before the current screen closes. 3. Buttons to enter data. Subsequently, these buttons will be referred to as entry fields. The caption either your last entry or <please select>. They are buttons like Town or Postcode, Street, Category (of a POI) etc. When you tap an entry field, another screen with a software keyboard, a list, or with both of them opens where you can make your entries. This entry must be confirmed by clicking another button (normally OK or Save) before the entry screen closes. Your entry becomes then the caption of the entry field.

Two different user modes
MioMap can be operated in two different user modes: Standard and Extended. This grants an optimum of usability for each user: Less experienced users and users who do not need using the complete functionality of the software work in standard mode. Experienced users who are ready to spend some time in getting used to operate the complete functionality word in extended mode. Some configuration settings have an effect on the work in standard mode but can only be changed in extended mode. For further information, please refer to "Configuring MioMap", page 99.

Changing the user mode

You may at any time switch to the other user mode. 1. In the MAIN MENU, tap Settings. The SETTINGS screen opens:
The User mode entry is at the top of the list. If it is not selected, tap the Up icon repeatedly until User mode is selected. 2. Tap.

The USER MODE screen opens:
Your current user mode is indicated on the Current user mode field. 3. Tap Current user mode to switch to the other user mode. The name of the user mode you want to switch to becomes the caption of the entry field. 4. Tap Save to save the changes. Note: When you switch to standard mode, a dialog window asks you whether you want to keep the configuration changes you have made in extended mode. This dialog window appears even when you have not made any configuration changes. Tap Yes if you want to keep these changes. The USER MODE screen closes and you are in the Main menu of the user mode you have just switched to.

Standard mode
In standard mode, the software is easier to operate. As it offers reduced functionality, functions may be accessed quicker. So, if you do not need functions like Route planning or indicating a destination on the map, we recommend working in standard mode. In standard mode, you can: Select another map Enter a destination to navigate to (Address, POI) Navigate home Select a saved destination Save destinations Select a destination from the recent destinations list Change some configuration settings

Functionality

Extended mode
In extended mode, you dispose of the complete functionality of MioMap. You may for example indicate and navigate to more than one destination (route planning with stages). You may change all configuration settings. If you want to use the complete functionality, work in extended mode. In addition to the functions of the standard mode, the extended mode enables you to: Indicate a direction directly on the map Plan and save routes with several stages Adjust the route options before each navigation Change all configuration settings
