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 C710 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 de

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 scr

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 se

The alphabetic keyboards in MioMap do not contain special characters, because 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 French street ‘Cité Bergère ’ you only need to type ‘Cite Bergere’, and the rest is done by the program). When you type in POI or track log names, MioMap will automatically turn all initials into

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

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 out to see how the map changes in either the 2D or 3D view. Changing the scale of the map is very easy. You can drag and stretch the scale (Page 23) at the

when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset before it gets dark. Tip: There are several daytime and night colour schemes included with MioMap. To select the one that suits your needs the best, make your selection in Settings (Page 76). Tip: To further enhance the effect of the night colour scheme, you can instruct MioMap to decrease the display backlight when the night colours are used. Set the desired backlight levels for both daylight and night modes. Page 73.

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 read the map at a glance. Tip: If you do not want to be bothered by street names during navigation, turn them off in Map Options (Page 76). 4.1.5 Other objects To help orientate you, the map also contains objects that have no other navigating functio

These arrows show the direction in which you need to continue your journey. 4.1.8.3 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 t

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.
