1 Warnings and safety information MioMap is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected destination. It will determine your exact location with the help of an attached GPS device. The position information obtained from the GPS receiver will not be transmitted anywhere, so others will not be able to track you by the help of this program. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate MioMap before beginning your journey. The driver’s attention sho

2 General information MioMap is a navigation system optimised for in-car use. It provides door-to-door navigation for both single and multi-point routes using adaptable route parameters. MioMap is capable of planning routes throughout the whole map region installed on the memory card. Unlike some other products, MioMap does not require that you change maps or switch to a poorly detailed general map to navigate between map segments or countries. You always have complete freedom to go wherev

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 C210 on or off any time. 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

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. 3.2.3 Sliders When a feature has several different unnamed (nu

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. Tap the button to toggle between the two states. Remember that the sign on the button will not indicate the cu

3.2.6.2 The numeric keyboard The numeric keyboard only contains numbers, on huge buttons. The special keys you find on the other keyboards (except Space) are available here as well. Although QWERTY-type keyboards also contain number keys, when entering a house number, the program offers the more convenient numeric keypad. 13

4 Discovering the program through the screens The best way to discover MioMap is to explore each screen in detail, and to find out how to move from one to another. Read this chapter for a guided tour. 4.1 The map The most important and most frequently used screens of MioMap are the two screens with the map (Map screen and Cockpit screen). They are similar in look and in possible controls but are optimised for different uses. The map they display is common. The elements of the map are desc

other hand, 3D mode in Track-up Cockpit mode with Smart Zoom makes navigation very comfortable. The description of these modes will come later in this manual. 4.1.2 Zoom levels MioMap uses high quality vector maps that let you see the map at various zoom levels, always with optimised content. Street names and other text objects are always displayed with the same font size, never upside down, and you only see as many streets and objects as needed to find your way around the map. Zoom in and

You can change between day and night views manually in the Quick Menu (Page 36) or let MioMap do it automatically (Page 64) for you. Note: The automatic day/night mode is based upon the current date and GPS position by which MioMap calculates the exact sunrise and sunset times on the particular day at the particular location. Using that information MioMap can automatically switch between the colour schemes a few minutes before sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few mi

You need not choose between the two modes. MioMap will use the one best for the current tilt and zoom level. Zoom in to have only a few streets on the map, and start tilting up and down to see how MioMap switches between the two modes in an instant. Note: The automatic switching is on even when using Smart Zoom. At first you may find it odd, but later you will discover how it adjusts the displayed information to the current view of the map. It is important, as the driver must be able to

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 ro

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
