1 Warnings and Safety information The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with a connected GPS receiver. The software does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you. It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate your software before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure and stop if you need to change the route.

5 Reference Guide On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu screens of the software. 5.1 Concepts 5.1.1 Smart Zoom Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature: • While following a route: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view angle to let you easily recognise your manoeuvre at the next junction.
• Roads are used only if access for cars is allowed. • Private roads and resident-only roads are used only if they are inevitable to reach the destination. • Walkways are excluded from routes. • : • All manoeuvres are available in intersections. • Directional constraints are taken into account the way that opposite direction is allowed with a low speed. • A private road is used only if the destination is there. • Walkways are excluded from routes.
5.1.3 Green routing Route calculation is not only about finding the quickest or shortest route. For some of the vehicle types, you can also check the fuel consumption and CO2 emission when planning a route, and you can create cost effective routes with less effect on the environment. In Route settings, you can edit the parameters of the selected vehicle. Enter the fuel consumption values and the price of the fuel.
You can also choose to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time. 5.1.5 Traffic information in route planning The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Offline statistical traffic information (historical speed information or traffic patterns) can be taken into account in the route calculation based on the time of day and the day of week whenever suitable data exists.
Tap to open the list of traffic even categories : In the first column you can see the number of traffic events on your route. The second column contains the full count of traffic events in the categories.
5.2 Information menu The Information menu provides you with various options and additional applications. In the Navigation menu, tap . Button Description Tap this button to get information about the current location and to find nearby help. Tap this button to open the GPS Information screen with satellite position and signal strength information.
The Fuel consumption monitor helps you keep track of the consumption of your car even if you do not use navigation for all your journeys. Set the initial odometer value and then record the distance taken and fuel filled in whenever you fill your car. You can also set reminders for regular car maintenance. Tap this button to see the sunlit and dark areas of the world. Your current location and route points are marked on the map.
These settings determine how routes will be calculated. Select the type of vehicle you are driving, the road types used in route planning, and the route planning method. You can fine-tune the appearance of the Map screen.
Tap this button to adjust the enhanced TTS features. The following settings are available: • You can set the feature to read out traffic messages. • Whenever a route is calculated, the software can read out the quick summary of the route. • When you cross country borders, the application can read out the information about the country you have just entered. • All system messages can also be announced. Street names sound correctly only if you use a native voice profile for the country.
You can control the volume of the following sound types: Button Description These controls affect the volume of the guidance sounds (verbal instructions). Turn off the attention tone preceding verbal instructions or adjust its volume. These controls affect the volume of the alert sounds (beeps). Key sounds provide audible confirmation of tapping the touch screen. These controls affect key sounds. Controls for each sound type: Button Description Use the switch to mute the related sound.
This setting determines how your software uses the received real-time traffic information in route calculation. When calculating a new route, or when recalculation becomes necessary based on the received Traffic events, your software avoids traffic events if it makes sense. You can also set the minimum delay that triggers route recalculation, and you can instruct the application if you want to confirm every recalculation.
The software includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a per-use charge) in the routes by default. If you disable toll roads, your software plans the best toll-free route. The software includes ferries in a planned route by default. However, a map does not necessarily contain information about the accessibility of temporary ferries. You might also need to pay a fare on ferries.
Set the maximum speed you travel with the vehicle. Vehicle types: When creating a new vehicle profile, select one of the below vehicle types. • : • Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route. • Roads are used only if access for cars is allowed. • Private roads and resident-only roads are used only they are inevitable to reach the destination. • Walkways are excluded from routes. • : • All manoeuvres are available in intersections.
Route Planning Method types: Button Description Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed limit on all roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars. Gives a short route to minimise the distance to travel. It can be practical for slow vehicles. Searching for a short route regardless of the speed, this route type is rarely practical for normal vehicles. Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel consumption data given in Route settings (page 75).
Switch between daytime and night colour modes or let the software switch between the two modes automatically a few minutes before sunrise and a few minutes after sunset.

Tap the "P" button to open a top-down map with the destination and the offered parking Places. Select one and modify the route accordingly. If you leave the recommended route and suddenly exit the motorway, the application offers different alternatives near the exit like petrol stations or restaurants.
5.3.8 Trip monitor settings Trip logs contain useful information about your trips. Trip logs can be saved manually when you reach your destination or you can turn on the automatic saving here. You can access these logs in the Trip monitor. Trip monitor is available from the More menu. This is not a button. This line shows the current size of the trip database, the sum of all trip and track logs saved. Trip monitor can record statistical data of your trips.
6 Glossary 2D/3D GPS reception The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and needs at least four signals to give a three-dimensional position, including elevation.

Route A sequence of route events, i.e. manoeuvres (for example, turns and roundabouts) to reach the destination. The route contains one start point and one or more destinations. The start point is the current (or last known) position by default. If you need to see a future route, the start point can be replaced with any other given point. Heading-up map orientation In this mode the map is rotated so its top always points in the current driving direction. This is the default orientation in 3D map view mode.
