Operation Manual

POIs display on the map
The category of points to be viewed by the user on the map is defined with the
use of the "Display" option in the POI menu. Interesting POI categories are
selected with a square to the left of their names. The square means that POIs
in a given category, both the ones built into the map and the user-defined
ones, are shown.
An important display parameter is the scale, below which the points are
displayed on the map. The scale is set with the use of the "Scale" button on
the tool bar at the bottom of the screen. The scale threshold and the number
of displayed categories should be selected carefully to make sure that POI
icons do not obstruct the map view.
POI categories can be selected and deselected with the use of the
"Options" button to display or remove them from the map. The "Add
category" option enables the user to define a new category with a customised
name (when icon density is high at higher map scale values, the system
automatically filters the icons and does not display all of them). By selecting
"Display all", the user can choose to display only categories on the pre-filtered
list. The "Organise context menu" option enables the user to change the
sequence in which the selected context menu categories are displayed.
The "View" button enables the user to restrict the list of categories
to point categories, which are displayed on the map, hidden or user-
defined.
When a fragment of the POI name is entered in the "Name" field, the
system will find POIs and categories that fulfill search criteria regardless of
whether and which category is displayed during the search.
POI display on the map 2
When the POIs are displayed on the map, the user can obtain additional
information on the selected POI, e.g. a tourist destination, restaurant or
pharmacy, and see photos related to the given POI thanks to the MiploPics
function.
After tapping the pen on the selected point, a balloon with short information
will be displayed above the POI. To obtain more detailed information, click
the balloon or open the context menu and select the Info option. The
program will display a screen containing the most important information
regarding the POI, such as the name, short description or telephone
number.
If the description of the POI features the telephone number, then you can
directly call that number. To do so, select Call button, which is located at the
bottom of the displayed window, then confirm your decision by pressing the
displayed small window with the telephone number.
