3 Operating MioMap (Controls)
MioMap is designed for easy operation. All controls are operable by fingertips. Wherever possible, pushbuttons and lists are provided to make accessing functions or changing settings as easy as possible.

3.1.1 Power on/off

Use this button to turn the power of the Mio DigiWalker P350/P550 on or off any time. If the device power is turned off while MioMap is running, when you turn the device back on, MioMap will continue the navigation as soon as the built-in GPS determines the location again. While the device is switched off, the GPS will not work, no position will be calculated, track log will not be saved, and navigation will stop.

3.1.2 Tilt up and down

Map tilting modifies the vertical view angle of the map in 3D mode. This function is explained in detail here: Page 24. Note: The Tilt down button has a special function when starting Fly Over (Page 49), the route simulation. If started while keeping this button depressed, the simulation will be fast to give you a rough overview of the route events.

3.1.3 Zoom in and out

Tilt the joystick up to zoom in, or tilt it down to zoom out. Zoom will change the scale of the map in both 2D and 3D map modes. This function is explained in detail here: Page 23. Note: When applied on list and menu screens, this action will move the highlight up and down.
3.1.4 Rotate left and right
Tilt the joystick left or right to rotate the map. Track-up map orientation (Page 26) will always rotate the map so its top faces your direction of travel when your GPS position is available. Use this function if you need to check something on your left or right. If you rotate the map during navigation, Smart Zoom will still zoom and tilt the map but the automatic rotation (Track-up) will be deactivated, so the map orientation will remain as you set it. You need to press Enter, or tap the Lock button (Page 24) to reactivate the automatic map rotation. Note: When applied on list and menu screens, this action will move the highlight left and right.
3.1.5 Voice instruction announcement
Press the joystick for this function. When using either the Map or the Cockpit screen, you can repeat the latest voice instruction by pushing this button. Tip: Use this button any time during your journey if you need the distance and type of the next route event. Note: In order to receive voice instructions, sound should not be muted (Page 74), voice guidance must be enabled (Page 75), and a route must be active. Note: If you have disabled Smart Zoom by tilting, rotating or moving the map during navigation (i.e. the Lock button appears on the screen), this button will first re-enable normal navigation, and will say the instruction only after being pushed again. Note: When applied on list and menu screens, this button will select the highlighted item.

3.1.6 The Route Information screen
To give easy access to the most important data screen during navigation, a hardware button is reserved for opening the Route Information screen. Alternatively, tap the travel data fields of the Cockpit screen (Page 21) or the Info button (Page 51) in the Route menu to display this screen.
3.2 Screen buttons and controls
The primary input channel of MioMap is the touch screen. If you read on, you will realise that most parts of the screen are not only used to display information but also to initiate functions by tapping. Below you will find a list of the most frequently used controls in the program.

3.2.1 Direct selectors

Some of the settings can be chosen from a short list of possible values. If the values can be described graphically, all values are available on the screen.
Tap one of the icons to set/change the value.

3.2.2 List selectors

When the values in the list need to be named, only the current value is shown (sometimes together with a short description) in a horizontal stripe with arrows at both ends.
The arrows are buttons. Tap to move left in the list or tap to move right. You need not confirm your selection. As soon as you leave the screen, the selected value becomes effective. Note: The only exception for this is the Manual GPS Configuration screen (Page 85) where you can confirm your new set of selections by tapping the button, or leave the previous settings untouched by exiting with the button in the top left corner.

3.2.3 Sliders

When a feature has several different unnamed (numeric) values, MioMap will show sliders that look like analogue potentiometers to set the desired value.
If the value limits are not displayed at the ends of the slider, the leftmost position means the minimum value, while the rightmost position represents the maximum value.
With most sliders you can check the current value on the left. This control can be operated in two ways. Either drag the handle to move the slider to its new position, or tap the slider where you want the handle to appear (the thumb jumps there immediately). As with the list selectors, there is no need to confirm your selection. As soon as you leave the screen, the selected value becomes effective.

4.2.1 Turn preview (No. 1)
On the Cockpit screen this field shows a graphic illustration of the next manoeuvre. For example when you approach a turn, an arrow will show whether it is a slight, normal or sharp turn. When showing a roundabout, the number of the exit is also given in the picture.
This field also serves as a button. Tap it to get to the Route menu (Page 46). The Map screen will show a button called Route here if there is an active route. This also leads to the Route menu.
4.2.2 Zoom in and out (No. 2 & 3)
These semi-transparent buttons are only displayed if "Zoom & Tilt" is enabled in the Quick menu (Page 39).
Zoom will change the scale of the map. Zoom out shows a larger part of the map, while Zoom in shows a smaller part of the map in more detail. The automatic Smart Zoom function will do the necessary zooming for you when navigating (zooms out if the next turn is at a distance to let you see far ahead and zooms in when approaching a turn to give you a better view of the upcoming 23
manoeuvre). If you manually change the zoom level, Smart Zoom will no longer scale the map by itself (automatic tilting and rotating remains active). You need to tap the Lock button (Page 24) to return the zoom control to Smart Zoom. If you are on the Cockpit screen, MioMap will do this automatically if you leave the display untouched for 30 seconds.
4.2.3 Tilt up and down (No. 4 & 5)
This function modifies the vertical viewing angle of the map in 3D mode. You can change the angle in a wide range starting from a top down view (2D view is seamlessly integrated) all the way to a flat view that lets you see far ahead. The automatic Smart Zoom function will do the necessary tilting for you when navigating (gives a flat view if the next turn is at a distance to let you see far ahead and raises the angle when approaching a turn to give you a better view of the upcoming manoeuvre). If you manually change the view angle, Smart Zoom will no longer tilt the map by itself (automatic zooming and rotating remains active). You need to tap the Lock (Page 24) to return the tilt control to Smart Zoom. If you are on the Cockpit screen, MioMap will do this automatically if you leave the display untouched for 30 seconds.
4.2.4 Lock to GPS position and heading (No. 6)
This semi-transparent icon is displayed if GPS position is available, and the map has been moved or rotated. It also appears when you scale or tilt the map while Smart Zoom is enabled.

You can use it in both 2D and 3D modes to scale the map. Drag and pull it right to zoom in, or left to zoom out.

4.2.7 Menu (No. 9)

This button opens the Menu with the Find engine, the Quick menu, the Route menu and the exit button that takes you to the Main menu screen. The Menu will be described in detail later: Page 38.
4.2.8 Map orientation and Overview (No. 10)
You can view the map screens in three different presentation modes. This switch will cycle through them in the following order. The usual map orientation for navigation is Track-up. It means MioMap rotates the map during navigation to always face the direction of your travel. In this mode an arrow (compass) points towards North.
Tap this icon to switch to North-up mode. Now the map is fixed to keep facing North. The icon changes to show the new rotation mode.
Tap the icon again to enter Overview mode. This mode looks similar to the North-up mode with one difference: the zoom level in this mode has a fixed default to give you a better look of where you are on the map. You can change the zoom level at any time, this will not cause the Lock button to appear, but when entering Overview mode later, the default zoom level will be restored. The arrow representing your position will be fixed in the middle of the screen. When you move the map in Overview mode, the Lock button will appear, and when pushed, it will move the map to have your current position in the middle of the map again. You cannot rotate the map in Overview mode. This mode is strictly north-up. You can set up MioMap so that it will switch to Overview mode during navigation when the next turn is far away. You can specify this distance and the fixed zoom level of Overview in Advanced settings (Page 84). An aeroplane icon indicates Overview mode.
Tap the icon again to return to Track-up (automatic rotation) mode.
4.2.9 GPS position quality (No. 11)
Similarly to the icon found on the GPS Data screen (Page 33), the map screens also inform you about the GPS signal:

The content of the Cursor menu depends on the screen (Map or Cockpit) and it is slightly different if there is an active route already planned. You have the following options: Start: use the Cursor as the departure point for your route. This menu point is available only in Map mode and when there is no active route. In Cockpit mode the departure point of the route is always the GPS position or if it is not available, the last known GPS position. Route To: use the Cursor as the destination of your route. This button is to start a new route. The previous route (if it exists) will be deleted and replaced. If a multipoint route is active, MioMap will ask you whether you really want to delete it together with all its via points. Add Via: by inserting the selected map point as a via, you instruct MioMap to cross this location before the destination of the route. This is the way to build a multi-point route in reverse order (when you wish to insert a stopover go to A but first get some fuel at B or want to influence the direction of the route). This menu point works only if a route is already active. Remove Via: removes the via point near or at the Cursor. The route will be recalculated immediately excluding the deleted point. This menu point replaces Add Via and is available only if the Cursor is near or at a via point. Continue: add a new destination to be reached after the previous destination. The new destination replaces the old one, which is now demoted to a via point. This is the way to build your multi-point route in straight order (when you wish to visit several destinations go to A then to B). This menu point is available only if a route is already active. Add Cam: this button will place a speed camera at the position of the Cursor. A new window opens where you can set the type of the camera (fixed, mobile, builtin, or section control camera), the direction of the monitored traffic (your direction, the opposite direction, both directions or all directions), and the speed limit. If the map contains speed limit information, this will be the default value for Camera Speed.
Edit Cam: you can edit the parameters of the camera near or at the Cursor, or delete it. This menu point replaces Add Cam and is available only if the selected point is near or at a speed camera. A window will open up that contains the same settings as in Add Cam. In addition, it will have a Delete button that removes the camera from the map.

4.4.2 Warning icons

The following 5 squares are normally grey. Some of them turn red and show a graphical symbol in case warning(s) are attached to the planned route. These are warnings, so icons always show information for the whole route, even if the data fields display values from your current position to a via point only. Click on any of the icons to show its description. A few samples of the available icons:
This icon shows that you need to pay toll on the recommended route. This icon shows that the route contains motorways. Tap the icon to see the total length of the motorways in the recommended route. This icon shows that toll roads are included in the recommended route. This icon shows that you need to board a ferry along the recommended route.
This icon shows that you need to pay for the ferry. This icon is displayed when MioMap could not plan a route with all your road type preferences respected. Sometimes it is impossible to find a suitable route near the start or the destination. This icon warns you that MioMap had to recommend a route that does not match all your preferences given at the Route Parameters settings. The recommended route contains areas only accessible to pedestrians. The recommended route contains unpaved roads. The recommended route contains roads that require a permit or permission to enter. Information any other piece of relevant but not categorised information. Tap the icon to see the content. Next page displayed when more than 5 warnings apply for the recommended route. 37

4.4.3 Fit to screen

Tap this button to display an overview of the whole recommended route. You will jump to the Map screen with a 2D North-up view so that you can check where the route takes you.

4.4.4 Parameters

This button opens the Route parameter settings screen (Page 76) otherwise opened from the Route menu (Page 46).

4.5 Menu

The Menu button can be found in the top right corner of the portrait map screens and in the bottom left corner of the landscape map screens. Tapping this button brings up a menu that allows you to access some of the most frequently used functions of MioMap.

4.5.1 Find tab

The first page of the Menu is Find. It lets you select a destination without first having to locate it on the map. The Find menu will be described in detail later here: Page 59.

4.5.2 Quick tab

This provides quick access to some configurable options. Remember that symbols on the buttons show the state of the function they are switching to, and not the one the program is currently in. For example with daylight colours you see the moon, while with night colours the sun is depicted on the button that switches between the two colour modes.

Manage My POI By highlighting then tapping again the My POI switch on the Manage POI main screen you can manage the POI groups and items that you have created.
Note: The group Unnamed only appears if you have previously saved a POI item without creating a new POI group for it. Note: If there are valid entries in the Contacts application of your Mio DigiWalker P350/P550, the ones MioMap can recognise the address in will be imported as My POIs, added to a new group named Contacts. Each time MioMap starts, it reloads the points from the Contacts application database. With the help of these points you can plan a route to any of your contacts by only a few screen taps. Tapping any of the group names will open a list of POIs saved in that group. This list is similar to the list of POI results in Find. The POIs are ordered based on their distance from your current position. If GPS position is not available or you have disabled Lock-to-Position by tapping the map, the POIs will be ordered by their distance from the Cursor.
When the My POI Groups are displayed, you have the following options: Show/Hide: similarly to built-in POIs, you have the possibility to show or hide all POIs of the selected category on the map. Groups with a blue icon are displayed; groups with a grey icon are hidden. New: you can create a new My POI group by tapping this button. You need to select an icon, a name, and the maximum zoom level at which the POI is still visible on the map (provided you let the POI group be displayed at all). You do not necessarily need to create POI groups in advance. You can do it while saving a new POI. Delete: you can delete any of your previously saved My POI groups. This will delete all POIs in that group. MioMap will ask you to confirm this action. Edit: you can edit the attributes (name, icon, visibility level) of a previously created My POI group.
Left/right arrows: if your groups fill several pages, these buttons will let you browse through them. The green field left of these buttons shows the current page number and the number of pages.
When the list of My POIs is displayed, you have the following options: Filter: you can shorten the list of matching POI items by filtering. Just like in Find, enter a few letters of the desired POI name. When the number of matching items can fit in one page, MioMap will automatically display the list. If you tap Done any time before this happens, you receive the list of matches on multiple pages. ABC/Distance: by tapping this button you can have the POIs sorted in an alphabetical order. Tapping again will return to the distance-based order.

Use the arrows on the right to browse through the list and tap any line to highlight it. You can perform the following operations: Add: you can add a new route point (or a new final destination if the highlighted item is the last one in the list) after the selected point. The Find menu opens automatically to let you search for an address, POI, coordinates, one of your favourite destinations, or select a point from the History list. As soon as you select any of these, MioMap returns to the Edit screen and your selection appears right under the highlighted line.
Delete: you can delete the selected point from the list. If the highlighted item is the last one in the list, the previous via point will be promoted to be the final destination. Optimise: you can optimise the order in which you will drive through the via points, if there is no specific order you would like to keep. When tapping this button, MioMap reorders the list instantly to save you time and fuel. Optimisation is for via points only. Your starting point and destination remain in their positions, of course. Up and Down: using these buttons you can reorder the list by moving the highlighted item up or down in the list.
4.5.3.6 Info This button opens the Route Information screen described here: Page 34. This screen shows information about the current route and has a few additional options to check and modify your active route.

4.5.4 Main button

The Main button at the bottom right corner leads to the Main menu screen described here: Main menu.

4.6 Speed cameras

There is a built-in database of fixed and mobile speed cameras. It is also possible to add new cameras to enhance this database. MioMap can warn you when you approach one of these cameras. You can fine-tune this warning in General settings (Page 69). Speed cameras are displayed with small camera symbols on the map.

4.6.1 Camera types

There are four types of speed cameras: 4.6.1.1 Fixed cameras Some cameras stand by the roadside, looking in one direction, measuring one or both directions of the traffic. They measure your current speed. For these cameras you can specify the controlled traffic direction and the speed limit. MioMap will warn you when you approach these cameras in the measured direction. If your speed exceeds the speed limit near the camera, a special warning sound will be played. These cameras are displayed with the following symbol:

If you are looking for a city or town (or state) you cannot find on the list, tap Other City in the top right corner. This will take you to the city name or postcode input screen, where you can select the desired city by entering a few letters of its name or some digits of its postcode, then select from the list of results automatically given by the program if the matching items can be displayed on one page, or displayed on more pages if you tap Done after entering some letters. Note: Postcodes may not be available for the selected country. In this case you need to enter the name of the settlement.
You can accomplish this by using an alphabetic input screen (either an ABC- or a QWERTY-type). You only need to enter the first few letters, as the program only searches among the settlements that exist in the given state or country. If the name of the settlement is of more than one word, the searched pattern can be any or the combination of those. You can search for multiple partial words by inserting space characters in the pattern. For example Key West in Florida will be found if you enter Ke W or even We K (any word order will do). You do not need to enter accents when searching for a destination. Type only the base letters (the letter most similar to the accented one) and MioMap will search for all their combinations in the database (e.g. for the Canadian town Dlage you only need to type Deleage, and the rest is done by the program). As you start typing, MioMap will calculate the number of settlements matching your pattern(s). This number is shown at the right end of the input line. If all the matching city names can fit on one screen, the sound played when hitting the key will be different, and MioMap will show you all the results in a list. You can select the one you are looking for by tapping the appropriate list item. Note: When more than 300 matching items (a list of more than 60 pages) exist for the entered pattern(s), MioMap stops searching, and displays >300 at the right end of the input line. Enter more letters to narrow the list. Note: When the name of the settlement contains a character that is not available on the keyboard (e.g. apostrophe or dash), MioMap considers it a space that splits the word. That is why you can search for Alleyn-Et-Cawood with all the following search criteria: A E C, Et A, or Al Ca.

5.3.4 Find a POI

You can select your destination from the thousands of POIs included with MioMap or from the ones you have previously created. This screen helps you find the one you are looking for. POI items are categorised to let you locate them more easily. On this screen you can see the first page of the top level POI categories. There are three levels altogether.
The search will be carried out around a certain reference point. Always look at the current reference point shown in the green field above the POI category buttons and confirm that it matches what you want. To change the reference, tap the Change ref. button in the top right corner.
Once you tap the Change ref. button, you are presented with these choices: Address: you can specify an address to be searched around, or a settlement to search in. The centre of this settlement will be used as the reference point. History: the reference for the search can be selected from the History list. Coordinates: you can specify a latitude/longitude pair to be the centre of the search. GPS Position: the search will be carried out around the current location given by the GPS if it is available. If no GPS position is available, the last known GPS position (grey arrow on the map) will be used. Cursor: the search will be carried out around the previously selected map point. Destination: the search will be carried out around the destination of your current route.
The current selection is always shown in the green field at the top of the page. Note: The default reference point for POI search is the current GPS position, if it is available, or the Cursor, when there is no reliable GPS position. Once you have set the reference point, you have the following options on the Find POI screen: Search in POI subgroups: highlight one of the POI groups by tapping or using the direction buttons, then press Enter or tap it again to see the list of subgroups. Using the same action you can move deeper into subgroups. Filter from all the POIs of that level: tapping the Filter button will bring up a text input screen to let you narrow the list of POIs. If you tap Filter in the list of subgroups, you will only search in the group you are already in. See all POIs of the current group in a list: tapping the All button opens the list of all points in the group or subgroup you are already in. Use the Next and Previous buttons to browse through the list.

Note: Via points are handled as stopovers with regards to u-turns. It means disabling u-turns on this page will avoid u-turns during the entire route if possible, but when reaching a via point, the following part of the route may be planned starting in the opposite direction. 6.3.3.5 Permit needed To use some roads or enter some areas you may need special permit or permission from the owners. These roads are excluded from your routes by default. Use this switch if your vehicle is authorised to enter. 6.3.3.6 Toll Roads Toll roads are included in your routes by default. If you wish to travel more to avoid paying a toll, disabling them will make MioMap plan the best toll-free route for you. 6.3.3.7 Cross-border Planning By default MioMap plans routes using the border crossing points. However if you live near the border, you can disable border crossing with this switch to remain within one country.

6.4 Language & Units

Here you can set the languages, measurement units, and date and time formats used by MioMap.

6.4.1 Program language

This button displays the current written language of the program. By tapping the button you can select from a list of available languages. MioMap will have to be restarted if you change this setting. MioMap will ask for confirmation before it restarts.

6.4.2 Voice language

This button shows the current language of the voice guidance. By tapping the button you can select from a list of available languages and speakers. Tap any of these to hear a sample voice prompt. Just tap OK when you have selected the new spoken language.

6.4.3 Units

You can set the distance units to be used by the program. MioMap may not support all of the listed units in some voice guidance languages. If you select a measurement unit that is not supported by the chosen voice guidance language, you will see a red warning message under the selector.
6.4.4 Set Date & Time Format
You can set the date and time format displayed by MioMap. Various international formats are available.

6.5 Advanced settings

These screens let you set a large number of different advanced settings and initiate some special functions. These settings and functions are divided into groups.
Tap on any button to set the corresponding parameters.All but the last one will open new windows where you can make your desired changes.

6.5.1 Cockpit settings

These settings determine how MioMap displays different content elements of the Cockpit screen.
6.5.1.1 3D in Cockpit mode (and track-up orientation) The normal use of the Cockpit mode is cruising or navigating, when the road lying in front of the driver is the most important part of the map. It is usually done in a 3D view with the current direction towards the top of the map. By default MioMap uses the same look of the map in both Map and Cockpit modes. Use this switch to instruct MioMap to always open the Cockpit mode in 3D with Track-up orientation (automatic map rotation) for driving purposes. Note: You will still have the possibility to switch the map to 2D view or north-up orientation, but the map will return to 3D mode with map rotation whenever Cockpit mode is started. 6.5.1.2 Cockpit screen layout There are three route data fields on the left of the Cockpit screen. Their content is fixed in Cruise mode (when there is no active route), but for Navigation mode you can change their content here. The available values are listed here: Page 31.

6.5.2 Backlight settings

Here you can set how the display backlight behaves when using MioMap. These settings are independent of the settings of the other applications of Mio DigiWalker P350/P550.
6.5.2.1 Power management At the top of the screen you can set how the backlight will behave when the screen has not been touched for a while. Backlight always on You can choose to have the lights always on. Use device settings You can preserve the PDA device settings (previously set in the operating system at Start/Settings/Backlight). Smart powersave You can also initiate this special feature of MioMap. When running on battery Smart Powersave will light up the screen only when you press or tap a button, or if MioMap has something to show you. After a few seconds the light level decreases, and after another few seconds the backlight turns off. This helps you achieve a longer battery life. 6.5.2.2 Brightness You can set the backlight level separately for both daylight and night modes, thus enhancing the effect of the night colour scheme. The values are between 0 and 10, where zero means there is no backlight at all, and 10 represents the maximum backlight value.

3.2.1 Direct selectors

Some of the settings can be chosen from a short list of possible values. If the values can be described graphically, all values are available on the screen.
Tap one of the icons to set/change the value.

3.2.2 List selectors

When the values in the list need to be named, only the current value is shown (sometimes together with a short description) in a horizontal stripe with arrows at both ends.
to move left in the list or tap to move right. The arrows are buttons. Tap You need not confirm your selection. As soon as you leave the screen, the selected value becomes effective.

3.2.3 Sliders

When a feature has several different unnamed (numeric) values, MioMap will show sliders that look like analogue potentiometers to set the desired value.
If the value limits are not displayed at the ends of the slider, the leftmost position means the minimum value, while the rightmost position represents the maximum value. With most sliders you can check the current value on the left. This control can be operated in two ways. Either drag the handle to move the slider to its new position, or tap the slider where you want the handle to appear (the thumb jumps there immediately). As with the list selectors, there is no need to confirm your selection. As soon as you leave the screen, the selected value becomes effective.

3.2.4 Switches

When a function can only have two values (mainly Enabled and Disabled), a switch is used. Unlike with list selectors, the horizontal line contains the name of the function and not the actual status. There is a lamp on the left to show whether the function is active or not.
When the tick mark is missing , the function is not selected. When it is displayed , the function is enabled. The whole strip works as a button. Tap anywhere to toggle between the enabled and disabled status.
3.2.5 Switches in the Quick menu
The switches of the Quick menu (Page 35) behave as normal switches but they look different in order to fit in with the other menu buttons.

4.1.7.2 Animated turn guidance Animated arrows represent all route events other than the above-mentioned special points. These arrows show the direction in which you need to continue your journey.
4.1.7.3 The route line The line representing the planned route is displayed in orange with both daylight and night colours. In both cases it is the most conspicuous part of the map even when in the background of a 3D map view.
The line of the route is displayed on the driving side of the road for two-way and on the axis in case of one-way streets. When the map is zoomed in and the line is wide enough, small arrows show the direction of the route. This can be useful if you preview the route before starting the journey or when entering a complex junction.
4.1.7.4 Roads in the route excluded by your preferences Although you can choose whether to include or avoid some road types in Route parameter settings (Page 70), sometimes they are impossible to avoid near the starting point, via points or the destination. If so, MioMap will display those segments of the route with an alternate colour.

4.2 Screens with map

Having explained the contents of the map, the description of the other parts of the map screens follows. There are two map screens: the Map screen and the Cockpit screen. The way they show the map is the same but their look and controls are optimised for different purposes. The Map screen is to be used mainly without a GPS, to browse the map, create user POI items, or to plan your route based on map points. The Map screen is designed to give you the maximum map area. This screen is usually used in 2D North-up mode. The Cockpit screen is for driving purposes. Besides showing the map, it contains some additional travel information if you are just cruising (speed, current street your are driving in, speed limit for the current street), and some more route data if you are navigating (e.g. next street in your route, distance to travel, type of the next route event). This screen is typically used in 3D Track-up mode (you can make MioMap always open the Cockpit screen like that. There are several controls that function in a similar fashion on the two screens. They are described on the following pages. Map screen contents:

Cockpit screen contents:

manoeuvre). If you manually change the zoom level, Smart Zoom will no longer scale the map by itself (automatic tilting and rotating remains active). You need to tap the Lock button (Page 22) to return the zoom control to Smart Zoom. If you are on the Cockpit screen, MioMap will do this automatically if you leave the display untouched for 30 seconds.
4.2.3 Tilt up and down (No. 4 & 5)
This function modifies the vertical viewing angle of the map in 3D mode. You can change the angle in a wide range starting from a top down view (2D view is seamlessly integrated) all the way to a flat view that lets you see far ahead. The automatic Smart Zoom function will do the necessary tilting for you when navigating (gives a flat view if the next turn is at a distance to let you see far ahead and raises the angle when approaching a turn to give you a better view of the upcoming manoeuvre). If you manually change the view angle, Smart Zoom will no longer tilt the map by itself (automatic zooming and rotating remains active). You need to tap the Lock (Page 22) to return the tilt control to Smart Zoom. If you are on the Cockpit screen, MioMap will do this automatically if you leave the display untouched for 30 seconds.
4.2.4 Lock to GPS position and heading (No. 6)
This semi-transparent icon is displayed if GPS position is available, and the map has been moved. It also appears when you scale or tilt the map.
Normally MioMap positions the map to keep the GPS position visible somewhere on the map (when North-up orientation is selected), or always at the bottom centre of the map (when Track-up orientation is selected). If you manually move the map, it will freeze the map in the new position. To return to the GPS position, use this Lock button. Scaling or tilting the map also stops the automatic zooming or automatic tilting respectively. To reactivate Smart Zoom, tap this button. 22
Note: When the Cockpit screen is open, you do not need to tap the Lock button. Just wait for 30 seconds without tapping the screen, and MioMap will automatically reenable Lock-to-Position and/or Smart Zoom. If you tap the screen during this period, the 30 seconds countdown will restart.

4.2.5 Cursor (No. 7)

As described earlier (Selected map point, also known as the Cursor), if you tap the map somewhere or select one specific item in Find, it will become the selected point on the map, marked with a small red dot and radiating red circles to make it conspicuous. You can use this point as starting point, via point or destination for your route, you can search for a POI near it, mark it with a pin, or save it as a POI. Note: When GPS position is available, the Lock button will appear indicating that you have disabled Lock-to-Position. Tapping the Lock button will re-enable the position lock and move the cursor back to the current GPS position. The same happens when MioMap restores Lock-to-Position automatically on the Cockpit screen after 30 seconds of inactivity.

When you tap on any of your POIs in the list, you will open a new window with the details of the selected POI.
Here you have the following options: OK: if you tap this button, the map screen returns with the selected POI in the middle. Edit: you can edit the attributes (name, icon and group) of the selected POI.
Delete: you can delete any of your previously saved POIs. MioMap will ask you to confirm this action.
4.5.2.4 Popup Information (switch) This button enables or disables the popup information of the Cursor on the map screens. The states of this button are:
When this feature is enabled, tapping the screen (activating the Cursor, a radiating red dot) on either of the map screens also opens a pop-up box with the selected street name, house number and the name of the nearby POIs, if any.
Tip: Tapping one of the blue Information icons behind the POI names shows the details of the appropriate POI item. 4.5.2.5 Manage Track Logs Using MioMap it is also possible to save the track logs of your journeys. This screen lets you manage all your track logs. When it comes up, it shows a list of all track logs already saved.
The original name of a track log is the date and time when it was recorded. You can change their name to something more meaningful if you wish.
Each track log has a colour, shown to the left of its name when the track log is visible on the map. If the track is not visible, an underscore character is shown here. Tapping the line of the highlighted track log will toggle between showing and hiding that log. The track log will be drawn on the map using the colour next to its name.
When a track log is being recorded, a new line appears in this list with an underscore, as newly recorded track logs are not shown in the map normally.
Tip: If you wish to see the track log currently being recorded, tap on it twice to make it visible. In this screen you have the following options: Record: this will initiate track log recording. A new line appears in the list, and GPS position data will be saved until you stop the recording or exit MioMap. A red icon (Page 25) is shown on the map screens to let you know that a recording is in progress. Tapping that icon opens this Track Log screen. Stop recording: if recording is in progress, this buttons stops it. Info: this button opens a screen that shows the track log details, and lets you: change the name of the track log (Rename button), change the colour of the track log (Colour on the map selector), have it displayed on the map (Fit to screen button),

recalculated the route. This means the list is permanently updated, and via points drop out during the journey. The last item in the list is your final destination.
Use the arrows on the right to browse through the list and tap any line to highlight it. You can perform the following operations: Add: you can add a new route point (or a new final destination if the highlighted item is the last one in the list) after the selected point. The Find menu opens automatically to let you search for an address, POI, coordinates, one of your favourite destinations, or select a point from the History list. As soon as you select any of these, MioMap returns to the Edit screen and your selection appears right under the highlighted line. Delete: you can delete the selected point from the list. If the highlighted item is the last one in the list, the previous via point will be promoted to be the final destination. Optimise: you can optimise the order in which you will drive through the via points, if there is no specific order you would like to keep. When tapping this button, MioMap reorders the list instantly to save you time and fuel. Optimisation is for via points only. Your starting point and destination remain in their positions, of course. Up and Down: using these buttons you can reorder the list by moving the highlighted item up or down in the list.
4.5.3.6 Info This button opens the Route Information screen described here: Page 31. This screen shows information about the current route and has a few additional options to check and modify your active route.

4.5.4 Main button

The Main button at the bottom right corner leads to the Main menu screen described here: Main menu.

4.6 Speed cameras

There is a built-in database of fixed and mobile speed cameras. It is also possible to add new cameras to enhance this database. MioMap can warn you when you approach one of these cameras. You can fine-tune this warning in General settings (Page 63). Speed cameras are displayed with small camera symbols on the map.

4.6.1 Camera types

There are four types of speed cameras: 4.6.1.1 Fixed cameras Some cameras stand by the roadside, looking in one direction, measuring one or both directions of the traffic. They measure your current speed. For these cameras you can specify the controlled traffic direction and the speed limit. MioMap will warn you when you approach these cameras in the measured direction. If your speed exceeds the speed limit near the camera, a special warning sound will be played. These cameras are displayed with the following symbol:
4.6.1.2 Mobile cameras Some cameras are operated from vehicles. The database contains some typical places of these mobile cameras. They are not always operational at the given location, and the speed limit is not specified for them. The warning is similar to fixed cameras, but as there is no speed limit given, only the proximity is announced.

These cameras are displayed with the following symbol:
4.6.1.3 Built-in cameras Some cameras are built in traffic lights. They work like fixed cameras, but they are difficult to spot. The warning for proximity and speeding is the same as for the fixed cameras. These cameras are displayed with the following symbol:
4.6.1.4 Section control cameras These cameras work in pairs, and do not measure your current speed but your average speed between the two cameras. Both will identify your car, and record the exact time you pass them. The difference between the two points of time will be used to calculate your average speed. MioMap will warn you when you approach one of these cameras, but as you pass by, the warning stays on, and your average speed is measured until you reach another camera of this type. If your average speed exceeds the speed limit between the two cameras, you will receive the same special warning sound as with the other camera types. Note: In the rare case MioMap cannot register the moment you pass the second camera (e.g. it is placed at the exit of a tunnel where GPS position is not yet available) the warning will continue. Just tap the camera symbol displayed on the left to stop the warning. These cameras are displayed with the following symbol:
4.6.2 Controlled traffic direction
The different cameras can measure the speed of one direction of the traffic, both directions, or even several directions in an intersection, when they are mounted on a rotating base. MioMap warns you only if you drive in a measured or possibly measured direction. The measured direction of the cameras are displayed with the following symbols:
4.6.3 Speed limit checked
As additional information, the speed limit checked by the camera is given for fixed, built-in and section control cameras. When you save a camera location using the Add Cam button in the Cursor menu (Page 26), the speed limit of the road is used by default, but you can change the value from 30 km/h to 130 km/h with the given control:
4.6.4 Add a new camera or edit an existing one
You can add new cameras, delete or modify the parameters of existing ones using the Add Cam or Edit Cam buttons of the Cursor menu (Page 26). To delete an existing camera first tap Edit Cam, then Delete.
4.6.5 Change the settings of the camera warning
You can turn on and off the camera warning, and fine-tune its settings in General settings (Page 65 and Page 65).

4.7 TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
MioMap can provide you with even better routes if Traffic Message Channel (TMC) information is available. The TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information. Note: TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your country or region. Ask your local dealer for coverage details. You need a TMC receiver attached to your PNA to receive TMC information. MioMap automatically takes into account the TMC information received. You do not need to set anything in the program. The receiver will automatically search the FM radio stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will immediately be used in route planning. The moment MioMap receives traffic information that may affect your route, the program will warn you that it is recalculating the route, and navigation will continue with a new route that is optimal considering the most up-to-date traffic conditions. The TMC subsystem can be started from the GPS Data screen (Page 29) by tapping the TMC button.
4.7.1 List of TMC messages
The main screen of the TMC section is the list of valid TMC messages ordered by their distance from your current location.
Tap the arrows to turn the page, and see traffic difficulties farther away from your current position, or press Settings to configure the TMC subsystem. This opens a new window.

4.7.2 TMC control centre

This screen shows the selected TMC source and allows you to change the TMC settings.
4.7.2.1 Selected FM radio station The name and frequency of the selected radio station will appear at the top of this window, together with signal strength information indicated by a bar similar to the GPS satellite signal strength bars on the GPS Data screen. If there arent any radio stations broadcasting TMC data in your area, the receiver keeps on searching. You will see the frequency continuously sweeping across the FM CCIR radio band (87.5-108 MHz). When you move to an area with TMC information, the indicator will show the frequency, and detailed information for the TMC station. 4.7.2.2 Exclude selected station If you wish to receive TMC data from another radio station, push this button. The radio station will be added to the list of excluded stations, MioMap will start searching for another TMC station, and will always skip the excluded station in the future. 4.7.2.3 Show excluded stations This button opens the list of excluded radio stations. Tap any of the stations in the list, then tap Enable to allow MioMap to accept TMC information from this station.
4.7.2.4 Sorts events by distance / type The list of traffic events can be ordered by their distance from the current position, or by their type. Tap this button to toggle between the two possibilities. 4.7.2.5 Use traffic information This button is enabled by default, which means that TMC messages are used in route planning. Tap this button to have MioMap ignore real-time traffic information when planning routes. Tip: If you make a route planning for a future journey, it may be better to turn off TMC corrected route planning. 4.7.2.6 Recalculate to avoid traffic This setting is similar to the previous one. Disabling it will not prevent the system from using TMC data for route planning, but will not trigger an automatic recalculation when the traffic conditions change during your journey.

5 Find

One of the most frequently used functions of MioMap is selecting the destination. Once you have the destination, you can start navigating. Getting to this point should be as fast as possible. MioMap provides you with a versatile search engine designed to find your chosen destination after only a few taps on the screen. Note: If you select a location in any part of the Find system, you will normally drop back to the map screen, where you will have several possible actions (set as start, set as destination, add as via, continue route with, mark with a pin, or add as a POI item). However, if you enter the Find system from the Main Menu, MioMap will immediately put you into Cockpit mode and start navigation.
5.1 Main menu Find buttons (Address, Favourites, POI, History)
As just mentioned, the fastest way to find your destination and start navigating is to start from the Main Menu (Main menu) with one of the Address, Favourites, POI or History buttons. These will put you on the respective Find screen, and as soon as you pick a destination, MioMap will immediately show the Cockpit screen and start navigation. This means that if you plan your route to one of your Favourite destinations, you only need two taps (e.g. Favourites then Home) to start navigating. You will find similar buttons in the Find menu (Page 53) accessible from the map screens. Activated from the map screens, they will only move the cursor to the desired location, but will not directly initiate navigation.
5.2 Selection by tapping the map
It is also very easy to set your destination using the map. Just browse to your desired destination on the map, tap it, and the Cursor menu with the possible actions will then open automatically. Note: When appearing automatically, the Cursor menu remains open for a few seconds only. If you decide not to choose any of the actions listed, the menu closes
automatically. When you open it manually, it will remain until you close it or switch to another screen. Tip: If you want the selected point shown in the centre of the map, close and reopen the menu or wait until it closes and open it again. By opening the Cursor menu manually, the map will be moved to have the selected location in the centre.

5.3 Using the Find menu

The Find menu is accessible by the Menu buttons of the map screens (Main menu). The Find menu gives you various possibilities for selecting a location.
5.3.1 Find an Address, Street, Intersection or City

5.3.4 Find a POI

You can select your destination from the thousands of POIs included with MioMap or from the ones you have previously created. This screen helps you find the one you are looking for. POI items are categorised to let you locate them more easily. On this
screen you can see the first page of the top level POI categories. There are three levels altogether.
The search will be carried out around a certain reference point. Always look at the current reference point shown in the green field above the POI category buttons and confirm that it matches what you want. To change the reference, tap the Change ref. button in the top right corner.
Once you tap the Change ref. button, you are presented with these choices: Address: you can specify an address to be searched around, or a settlement to search in. The centre of this settlement will be used as the reference point. History: the reference for the search can be selected from the History list. Coordinates: you can specify a latitude/longitude pair to be the centre of the search. GPS Position: the search will be carried out around the current location given by the GPS if it is available. If no GPS position is available, the last known GPS position (grey arrow on the map) will be used. Cursor: the search will be carried out around the previously selected map point. Destination: the search will be carried out around the destination of your current route.
The current selection is always shown in the green field at the top of the page. Note: The default reference point for POI search is the current GPS position, if it is available, or the Cursor, when there is no reliable GPS position. Once you have set the reference point, you have the following options on the Find POI screen: Search in POI subgroups: highlight one of the POI groups by tapping or using the direction buttons, then press Enter or tap it again to see the list of subgroups. Using the same action you can move deeper into subgroups.
Filter from all the POIs of that level: tapping the Filter button will bring up a text input screen to let you narrow the list of POIs. If you tap Filter in the list of subgroups, you will only search in the group you are already in. See all POIs of the current group in a list: tapping the All button opens the list of all points in the group or subgroup you are already in. Use the Next and Previous buttons to browse through the list.
Search results are ordered by their distance from the given reference point (nearest first). Note: In the case of POI items that you have created, you can also see the results in alphabetical order. Push the button with the label ABC that appears between Filter and the page number. Once the desired POI item is selected, MioMap will show its details.

Note: If you tap either of your favourite destinations in the Find menu (Page 61) before defining it, MioMap will offer to take you to this screen to set it up.
6.1.7 Route Recalculation
Once a route is planned, this setting will tell MioMap what to do when you deviate from that route. 6.1.7.1 Automatic The route will be recalculated automatically a few seconds after you go astray. 6.1.7.2 Disabled If you stick to the original route, and you wish to get back to it on your own, you can disable recalculation. This way guidance will stop until you return to the recommended route on your own.

6.2 Sound settings

Settings on this page determine the way MioMap sounds.
6.2.1 Master sound volume/switch
The position of this fader determines the device volume level. The left part of this control works as a mute button. Tap to mute all MioMap sounds. This works in tandem with the Mute button (Page 25) on the map screens. Switching one of them will change the status of the other.
6.2.2 Voice guidance volume/switch
The switch on the left can turn on or mute MioMap's audible guidance (voice instructions and speed camera warning). When turned on, the slider on the right will adjust the loudness of voice prompts. In its leftmost position the voice guidance is suppressed, in its rightmost position the master volume applies.
6.2.3 Key sound volume/switch
The switch on the left can turn the key sounds on or off. Key sounds are audible confirmations of either pressing hardware buttons or tapping the touch screen. When key sounds are turned on, the slider on the right will adjust their loudness. In its leftmost position the key sounds are suppressed, in its rightmost position they are played at the master volume level. Note: The sound effects of MioMap are context sensitive. They will be different if, for example you open or close a window, or you enable or disable a setting. They will even let you know if you have entered enough letters of a street name to have a short list of matching streets on the screen.

6.2.4 Dynamic Volume

When driving at high speed, the noise in the car may be too loud to clearly understand the voice guidance messages and to perceive the key sounds. Using Dynamic Volume you can instruct MioMap to increase the volume when your speed exceeds a certain minimum, and reach its highest volume (determined by the Master volume slider in Sound settings) at the given maximum speed. Tap the Dynamic Volume button to turn on the feature. This will also open the screen where you can set the minimum and maximum speeds.

Automatic day/night colours: Based on the time and position given by the GPS device, MioMap is able to calculate when the sun rises and sets at your current location on this particular day. Using that information MioMap can change between the day and the night colour schemes a few minutes before sunrise and a few minutes after sunset (Page 64). As additional information to help your orientation, the sun is shown in the sky when you display the map in 3D mode with a low viewing angle, and the sun is near the horizon. Elevation: When the GPS receiver can see at least four GPS satellites, it can determine its current position in three dimensions. In this case the elevation is calculated together with the latitude/longitude position. Note that some older GPS units may provide incorrect elevation data because they use a simple ellipsoidal earth model rather than a database that contains local sea levels. You should also be aware that the elevation value is generally less accurate (by at least a factor of 2) than the horizontal position. See also 2D/3D GPS Reception. ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival): A frequently used expression in navigation. It represents the time when you will reach your destination based upon calculations using the remaining part of the route and available information of the roads used. This estimation can only be used as a general reference. It will not be able to take into account your future speed or the traffic delays. In MioMap this value is shown as Estimated Arrival on the Route Information screen (Page 33). ETE (Estimated Time Enroute): Another frequently used expression in navigation. It represents the time needed to reach your destination based upon calculations using the remaining part of the route and available information of the roads used. This estimation can be used only as a general reference. It will not be able to take into account your future speed or the traffic delays. In MioMap this value is shown as Time left on the Route Information screen (Page 33). GPS: Abbreviation of Global Positioning System. This system is operated by the DoD (the Department of Defense of the Unites States Government). It consists of 24 satellites orbiting Earth, and several ground stations to keep the satellites in sync. To calculate your position, your GPS device uses the signals received from those GPS satellites that are currently visible at your location. You can use this service free of charge. Lock-on-Road: This function of MioMap will always keep the blue (yellow at night) arrow representing your actual position on the nearest road. This automatic feature is necessary as the position given by the GPS receiver is not perfectly accurate. Under normal circumstances Lock-on-Road will eliminate the occasional position error. If the corridor of error is too large, your position may be shown over a different street on the map. You can only avoid that by using good quality GPS equipment positioned so that it has a direct view to as large a portion of the sky as possible. Lock-on-Road is always active in MioMap. See also Current position and Lock-onRoad. Lock-to-Position: When GPS position is available, MioMap will automatically keep moving the map to always have the blue (yellow at night) arrow, representing your actual position, on the screen. You can move the map to lose this position. Then the
