Page 8: Warnings And Safety Information
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. -
Page 9: General Information
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. -
Page 10: Operating Miomap (Controls)
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. -
Page 11: List Selectors
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. -
Page 12: Switches In The Quick Menu
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. -
Page 13: The Numeric Keyboard
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. -
Page 14: Discovering The Program Through The Screens
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). -
Page 15: Zoom Levels
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. -
Page 16: Streets And Roads
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. -
Page 17: Other Objects
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. -
Page 18: Animated Turn Guidance
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. -
Page 19: Screens With Map
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. - Page 20 (Cockpit only) Turn preview* Indicates that Lock to GPS position and heading is inactive Selected map point (Cursor) (Map only) Map scale Map orientation and Overview GPS position quality Battery status Sound on or muted Track Log recording or playback (Cockpit only) Current street (Cockpit only) Travel and Route data**...

Page 30: Gps Connection Indicator
Elevation data is not provided, and the position error may be significant. • green means 3D reception. The GPS receiver has enough satellites to calculate altitude. Position is generally correct (yet it can still be inaccurate due to different environmental factors). MioMap is ready for navigation. -
Page 31: Time Synchronization
4.3.4 Time synchronization In the top right corner of the screen you have another button that leads to a new screen where you can synchronize the clock of your PNA to the very accurate time provided by the connected GPS. Turn on the Auto Correction switch to let MioMap frequently check and correct the PNA time with the GPS time. -
Page 32: Route Line
When you open the screen, all fields contain information on reaching your final destination. Tap any of the fields to see data on the via points starting from the first one through the final destination again. 4.4.1.1 Route line The upper part of this screen shows your planned route as a horizontal line. Its leftmost point is the start of the route, the rightmost one is the final destination, and you can see your via point flags along the line, spaced in proportion to their distance. -
Page 33: Time Left
4.4.1.4 Time Left This is an estimated value that can also be displayed in one of the Route data fields on the Cockpit screen as ‘Time to destination’. It shows the time needed to reach the final destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route. -
Page 34: Fit To Screen
• This icon shows that you need to board a ferry along the recommended route. • This icon shows that you need to pay for the ferry. • This icon is displayed when MioMap could not plan a route with all your road type preferences respected. -
Page 35: Find Tab
Tapping this button brings up a menu that allows you to access some of the most frequently used functions of MioMap. 4.5.1 Find tab The first page of the Menu is Find. It lets you select a destination without first having to locate it on the map. -
Page 36: Daylight & Night Modes (Switch)
4.5.2.2 Daylight & Night Modes (switch) This button switches between the daylight and night colour schemes of MioMap. The states of this button are: Turn on or off the night colours manually to override the automatic colour scheme switching. Note: Using this option turns off the Automatic Night Colours feature. You need to re- enable it at the General settings screen (Page 63) to have the colours change automatically again. - Page 37 If you highlight any of the POI groups by tapping them, the button in the bottom left corner will become Show if the POI group is hidden, or Hide if the group is shown or partly shown. Tip: To make a partly shown group fully shown, tap this button twice. First you will hide the whole group, and then you will have it displayed with all its subgroups.
- Page 38 • Show/Hide: similarly to built-in POIs, you have the possibility to show or hide all POIs of the selected category on the map. Groups with a blue icon are displayed; groups with a grey icon are hidden. • New: you can create a new My POI group by tapping this button. You need to select an icon, a name, and the maximum zoom level at which the POI is still visible on the map (provided you let the POI group be displayed at all).
-
Page 39: Popup Information (Switch)
• Delete: you can delete any of your previously saved POIs. MioMap will ask you to confirm this action. 4.5.2.4 Popup Information (switch) This button enables or disables the popup information of the Cursor on the map screens. The states of this button are: When this feature is enabled, tapping the screen (activating the Cursor, a radiating red dot) on either of the map screens also opens a pop-up box with the selected street name, house number and the name of the nearby POIs, if any. - Page 40 Each track log has a colour, shown to the left of its name when the track log is visible on the map. If the track is not visible, an underscore character is shown here. Tapping the line of the highlighted track log will toggle between showing and hiding that log.

Page 41: Route Tab
• Delete: you can delete a track log if it is not needed any more. MioMap will ask you to confirm this action. 4.5.3 Route tab This menu contains options to manage different settings in the program. 4.5.3.1 Recalculate This menu point is only available if an active route exists and GPS position is present. -
Page 42: Delete
When you run into a traffic jam or roadblock, you may want to have MioMap calculate a route that departs the original route as soon as it can. You will need to select the minimum distance along the original route where your new route is allowed to rejoin the original route. - Page 43 Display modes are different only in the number of events displayed in the list. List items are always shown with all information available including pictograms of the needed action and distance of the event from the previous list item. The Itinerary is live and constantly updated when navigating a route. The list item coming next in navigation is the highlighted one until you highlight another one by tapping.

Page 46: Main Button
4.5.4 Main button The Main button at the bottom right corner leads to the Main menu screen described here: Main menu. 4.6 Speed cameras There is a built-in database of fixed and mobile speed cameras. It is also possible to add new cameras to enhance this database. -
Page 47: Built-In Cameras
These cameras are displayed with the following symbol: 4.6.1.3 Built-in cameras Some cameras are built in traffic lights. They work like fixed cameras, but they are difficult to spot. The warning for proximity and speeding is the same as for the fixed cameras. -
Page 48: Controlled Traffic Direction
4.6.2 Controlled traffic direction The different cameras can measure the speed of one direction of the traffic, both directions, or even several directions in an intersection, when they are mounted on a rotating base. MioMap warns you only if you drive in a measured or possibly measured direction. -
Page 49: Tmc (Traffic Message Channel)
4.7 TMC (Traffic Message Channel) MioMap can provide you with even better routes if Traffic Message Channel (TMC) information is available.

automatically. When you open it manually, it will remain until you close it or switch to another screen. Tip: If you want the selected point shown in the centre of the map, close and reopen the menu or wait until it closes and open it again. By opening the Cursor menu manually, the map will be moved to have the selected location in the centre. -
Page 54: Selecting The City, State And Country To Search In
You enter the module at Level 3. From this point you can go forward (down) to give the name of the street, then the house number or intersection, or backward (up) to change the city, state or country to search. 5.3.1.1 Selecting the city, state and country to search in The first screen of the address-search module is the list of recently used cities (and states in Australia). - Page 55 some digits of its postcode, then select from the list of results automatically given by the program if the matching items can be displayed on one page, or displayed on more pages if you tap Done after entering some letters. Note: Postcodes may not be available for the selected country.

Page 58: An Example For A Full Address Search
5.3.1.4 An example for a full address search This is an example for the most complex address search, finding an address from abroad. In this example your current position is not in France, and you are looking for an address in Paris, France, the address ’17 rue d’Uzès’. The following steps shall be taken after entering the Find Address section: •... -
Page 59: Find Coordinates
5.3.3 Find Coordinates MioMap also lets you enter your destination by map coordinates. The coordinates need to be in latitude/longitude format and, based on the WGS84 earth model (the one used by most GPS devices). When you enter this page, the coordinates of the current GPS position (or the selected map point, the Cursor, if Lock-to-Position is inactive) are shown at the top of the display. - Page 60 screen you can see the first page of the top level POI categories. There are three levels altogether. The search will be carried out around a certain reference point. Always look at the current reference point shown in the green field above the POI category buttons and confirm that it matches what you want.

Page 63: Settings
6 Settings MioMap provides several settings in order to let you customise the functions of the program. The Settings screen can be accessed directly from the Main menu screen (Main menu) and from the map screens by using the battery icon (Page 25), while some of its sub-screens are accessible from other parts of the program. -
Page 64: Automatic Night Colours
6.1.2 Automatic Night Colours Using the automatic night mode, MioMap will change between the daylight and night colour schemes a few minutes before sunrise and a few minutes after sunset based on the time and location information provided by your GPS. Once you set a permanent colour scheme in the Quick menu (Page 36), this automatic mode turns off. -
Page 65: Enable Speed Camera Warning
Example: to let you better understand how this feature works, here is an example. If you use the setting on the left (portrait) screen example (+10 km/h – 100 km/h – +5%), MioMap will warn you when driving at the following speeds: Speed limit 40 km/h... -
Page 66: Visible Warning
You are warned well in advance. The distance MioMap starts warning you before reaching the camera depends on your speed. The higher the speed, the earlier the warning starts. 6.1.5.2 Visible Warning Besides this, MioMap can pop up a visual warning with only the symbol of the camera above the speed limit sign on the Cockpit screen, or you can ask for details as described below. -
Page 67: Route Recalculation
You can rename them and specify their locations. To determine the location you can use the same Find menu options (Page 53) as for a route destination, and depending on that choice and the information available, the location will be shown here as a street address, a latitude/longitude position, or both. -
Page 68: Master Sound Volume/Switch
6.2.1 Master sound volume/switch The position of this fader determines the device volume level. The left part of this control works as a mute button. Tap to mute all MioMap sounds. This works in tandem with the Mute button (Page 25) on the map screens. Switching one of them will change the status of the other. -
Page 69: Attention Tone
6.2.5 Attention Tone If this is set to Disabled, the voice guidance will sound without a preceding attention tone. Setting it to Single Tone will initiate a single attention tone before the instructions, while Double Tone will use a double tone. Note: The Mute function (Page 25) accessible from the map screens overrides the settings on this screen. -
Page 70: Economical
6.3.1.3 Economical This setting is a wise combination of the previous two. Although basically going for the fastest solution, if there is another route taking a bit more time but a lot less distance compared to the fastest one, MioMap will choose this one instead to save fuel. -
Page 71: Ferries
6.3.3.3 Ferries The accessibility of temporary ferries is not necessarily included in the map data. Furthermore you may need to pay fare, so you may consider disabling them from the preset enabled status. 6.3.3.4 U-turns Although displayed amongst road types, this is a type of action. Most drivers prefer to replace them with a few normal left and/or right turns in the next few junctions, so it is disabled by default. -
Page 72: Program Language
You can also set the time zone you are currently in. 6.5 Screen settings Here you can set how the display backlight behaves when using MioMap. These settings are independent of the settings of the other applications of Mio DigiWalker C210. -

Page 77: Glossary
The manual may contain many technical terms. Please look below for an explanation if you are unfamiliar with some of them. 2D/3D GPS reception: The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position. Depending on the current positions of the ever moving satellites in the sky, and the objects in your environment, the signal that your GPS device receives may be weaker or stronger. - Page 78 3D mode with a low viewing angle, and the sun is near the horizon. Elevation: When the GPS receiver can see at least four GPS satellites, it can determine its current position in three dimensions. In this case the elevation is calculated together with the latitude/longitude position.
- Page 79 Lock button appears on the screen. Tapping it will re-enable Lock-to-Position. See also Page 22. Map Orientation:MioMap is able to rotate the map for your convenience. If you choose Track-up mode, the map will be rotated to look in the direction of your heading.
- Page 80 Zoom In and Out: The Zoom function is used to change the scale of the map. Use Zoom In to scale down the map to see less of it but in more detail, and use Zoom Out to scale the map up to have a broader view of that part of the map with fewer details.
