VM9725BT REFERENCE GUIDE On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu screens of iGo primo. CONCEPTS 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 recognize your maneuver at the next junction.
VM9725BT Route Calculation and Recalculation iGo primo calculates the route based on your preferences: Route planning methods: • : 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 route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes. It can be practical for slow vehicles. • : Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel consumption data given in Green Routing settings (page 88).
VM9725BT • Maneuver restrictions and directional constraints (if they are applied to bicycles in the map data) are taken into account when planning a route. • Roads are used only if access for bicycles or pedestrians is allowed. • Controlled-access roads are excluded from routes. • A private road is used only if the destination is there. • Speed limits are not used in route calculation and an average cycling speed is used when calculating the estimated time of arrival.
VM9725BT Road types used or avoided in route calculation: • • • • • • Whenever data exist, route calculation takes into account statistical traffic data for the given day of week and time of day. Real-time Traffic events are also taken into account and sometimes greatly modify the route. iGo primo automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary or if a newly received Traffic event concerns a part of the recommended route.
VM9725BT 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 Settings, select to enter the necessary parameters of your vehicle and the average fuel price.
VM9725BT Road Safety Cameras and Other Proximity Alert Points There is a special proximity warning for road safety cameras (like speed or red light cameras) and other proximity alert points (like schools or railroad crossings). These alert points are preloaded in iGo primo. You can download more from www. naviextras.com or you can upload points in a specific text file if needed. You can also add your own alert points or edit the preloaded or uploaded points.

VM9725BT Customize Quick Menu The content of the Quick menu is fully customizable. Tap the button you want to change, and select its new function from the list. Traffic Settings The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Whenever suitable data exists, 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. This function is subject to data availability.
VM9725BT Route Settings These settings determine how routes will be calculated. Button Description You can set the type of vehicle you will use to navigate the route. Based upon this setting, some of the road types can be excluded from the route, or some of the restrictions may not be taken into account in route calculation. The route calculation can be optimized for different situations and vehicle types by changing the planning method. See below for details.
VM9725BT iGo primo excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved roads can be in a bad condition and usually you cannot reach the speed limit on them. Carpool or HOV lanes can be used if a given number of passengers are traveling in the vehicle. You should check whether you are allowed to use carpool lanes before enabling this road type. Vehicle types: • Maneuver restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route. • Roads are used only if access for cars is allowed.
VM9725BT • • All maneuvers 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. • Maneuver restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route. • Roads are used only if access for buses is allowed. • Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes.

Trip monitor is available from the More menu. Button Description Trip monitor can record statistical data of your trips. If you need these logs later, you can let the application save them automatically for you. This is not a button.
VM9725BT 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. Because the satellites are moving and because objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four signals.
VM9725BT North-up map orientation In North-up mode the map is rotated so its top always faces North. This is the orientation for example in Find on Map. See also: Track-up map orientation. Road Safety Camera Special alert points for speed, red light or bus lane cameras. Different data sources are available. You can configure iGo primo to warn you when you approach one of these cameras. Detecting the location of Road Safety Cameras is prohibited in certain countries.
