Page 8: Warnings And Safety Information
(optional) Safety Mode that will prevent you from using the screen functions if your car is in motion. Unless a passenger will be the only one to operate MioMap, we strongly encourage you to turn on the Safety Mode. -
Page 9: General Information
When using MioMap, you do not need to ‘double tap’ or ‘tap & hold’ the touch screen as these functions cannot be used reliably in a moving vehicle. A single tap triggers most of the screen controls. -
Page 10: Operating Miomap (Controls)
3.1.1 Power on/off Use this button to turn the power of the Mio DigiWalker C310 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 determines the location again. -
Page 11: Screen Buttons And Controls
3.2 Screen buttons and controls The primary input channel of MioMap is the touch screen. If you read on, you will realize 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. -
Page 12: Switches
3.2.6 Virtual keyboards MioMap is designed in a way that you only need to enter letters or numbers when it is inevitable. In these cases a full screen keyboard pops up that can easily be operated with your fingertips. -
Page 13: Qwerty-Type Keyboards
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). -
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
4.1.2 Zoom levels MioMap uses high quality vector maps that let you see the map at various zoom levels, always with optimized 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. -
Page 16: Streets And Roads
They may not look the same in the schemes you have chosen. Tip: If you use MioMap after sunrise or before sunset, look for the sun in the sky in the map background using a flat 3D view. It is displayed at its actual position to give you another way to orientate, and also to provide some eye candy. -
Page 17: Other Objects
PNA by replacing textures with plain colored surfaces. 4.1.6 Speed cameras There are special POI types in MioMap. 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 18: Animated Turn Guidance
Although you can choose whether to include or avoid some road types in Route parameter settings (Page 70), sometimes they are impossible to avoid near the starting point, via points or the destination. If so, MioMap will display those segments of the route with an alternate color. -
Page 19: Screens With Map
(e.g. next street in your route, distance to travel, type of the next route event). This screen is typically used in 3D Track-up mode (you can make MioMap always open the Cockpit screen like that. - 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 22: Lock To Gps Position And Heading (No. 6)
(automatic zooming and rotating remains active). You need to tap the Lock (Page 22) to return the tilt control to Smart Zoom. If you are on the Cockpit screen, MioMap will do this automatically if you leave the display untouched for 30 seconds. -
Page 23: Map Scale (No. 8)
You can view the map screens in three different presentation modes. This switch will cycle through them in the following order. The usual map orientation for navigation is Track-up. It means MioMap rotates the map during navigation to always face the direction of your travel. In this mode an arrow (compass) points towards North. -
Page 24: Gps Position Quality (No. 11)
You can set up MioMap so that it will switch to Overview mode during navigation when the next turn is far away. You can specify this distance and the fixed zoom level of Overview in Advanced settings (Page 77). -
Page 25: Battery Status (No. 12)
4.2.10 Battery status (No. 12) The status of the battery is also shown by MioMap. You can estimate the available power reserve from the length of the bar inside. Some examples: • The thunderbolt in the battery shows the battery is being charged. -
Page 26: Cursor Menu (No. 15)
MioMap will ask you whether you really want to delete it together with all its via points. • Add Via: by inserting the selected map point as a via, you instruct MioMap to cross this location before the destination of the route. This is the way to build a multi-point route in reverse order (when you wish to insert a stopover ‘go to A but... - Page 27 several destinations ‘go to A then to B’). This menu point is available only if a route is already active. • Add Cam: this button will place a speed camera at the position of the Cursor. A new window opens where you can set the type of the camera (fixed, mobile, built- in, or section control camera), the direction of the monitored traffic (your direction, the opposite direction, both directions or all directions), and the speed limit.

Page 28: Current Street (No. 16)
This field shows the road or street that comes next in the route itinerary. If you are not yet in the settlement where this next street is, MioMap will display the name of the settlement instead of the name of the road or street. A bullet symbol will... -
Page 29: Approaching Next Turn (No. 20)
4.2.19 Current speed limit (No. 21) To help you drive safely, MioMap shows the speed limit of the current road while you are cruising or navigating a route. This information is displayed only if it is available for the given road. -
Page 30: Gps Connection Indicator
GPS is connected but no GPS position is available, • yellow means 2D reception. A GPS position has been acquired, MioMap is ready for navigation, but the GPS is using enough satellites for calculating the horizontal position only. Elevation data is not provided, and the position error may be significant. -
Page 31: Time Synchronization
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 MioMap needs to recalculate the route, the arrow will not jump back to the left as when reaching a via point, but it may drift a bit as the length of the new route may be different from the previous one. -
Page 33: Estimated Arrival
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. Sometimes it is impossible to find a suitable route near the start or the destination. -
Page 34: Fit To Screen
• This icon warns you that MioMap had to recommend a route that does not match all your preferences given at the Route Parameters settings. • The recommended route contains areas only accessible to pedestrians. • The recommended route contains unpaved roads. -

Page 36: Manage Poi (Points Of Interest)
Visible POIs (Points of Interest)). In order to avoid that, you can decide which POI groups to show and which ones to hide on the map. MioMap has a multi-level POI category system. You can set the visibility of the top two levels. All levels below that will be shown or hidden according to their respective category (i.e. - Page 37 Note: If there are valid entries in the Contacts application of your Mio DigiWalker C310, the ones MioMap can recognize the address in will be imported as My POIs, added to a new group named Contacts. Each time MioMap starts, it reloads the points from the Contacts application database.

• 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:... - Page 40 (Page 25) will appear on the map screens to let you know it is not a fly over but a simulation based on a real saved log. • Delete: you can delete a track log if it is not needed any more. MioMap will ask you to confirm this action.

MioMap still keeps on navigating towards that point. When there are no via points left (only the destination), the name of this button turns to Delete Route, and it cancels the navigation. -
Page 42: Delete
Avoid function in Itinerary instead (Page 42). Note: When you use this feature, MioMap will keep on excluding the same part of the map from later routes until you manually delete the route (Page 42), or restart MioMap. - Page 43 MioMap will recalculate the route excluding that turn. If the next street is important in the route, it is likely that MioMap will replace the turn with several easier ones to get to the same street.

Page 46: Speed Cameras
They measure your current speed. For these cameras you can specify the controlled traffic direction and the speed limit. MioMap will warn you when you approach these cameras in the measured direction. If your speed exceeds the speed limit near the camera, a special warning sound will be played. -
Page 47: Built-In Cameras
The difference between the two points of time will be used to calculate your average speed. MioMap will warn you when you approach one of these cameras, but as you pass by, the warning stays on, and your average speed is measured until you reach another camera of this type. -
Page 48: Speed Limit Checked
4.6.3 Speed limit checked As additional information, the speed limit checked by the camera is given for fixed, built-in and section control cameras. When you save a camera location using the Add Cam button in the Cursor menu (Page 26), the speed limit of the road is used by default, but you can change the value from 30 km/h to 130 km/h with the given control: 4.6.4 Add a new camera or edit an existing one... -
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. The TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information. -
Page 50: Selected Fm Radio Station
If you wish to receive TMC data from another radio station, push this button. The radio station will be added to the list of excluded stations, MioMap will start searching for another TMC station, and will always skip the excluded station in the future. -
Page 51: Recalculate To Avoid Traffic
Tip: If you make a route planning for a future journey, it may be better to turn off TMC corrected route planning. 4.7.2.6 Recalculate to avoid traffic This setting is similar to the previous one. Disabling it will not prevent the system from using TMC data for route planning, but will not trigger an automatic recalculation when the traffic conditions change during your journey. -
Page 52: Find
Once you have the destination, you can start navigating. Getting to this point should be as fast as possible. MioMap provides you with a versatile search engine designed to find your chosen destination after only a few taps on the screen. -

Page 81: Glossary
MioMap will let you select multiple destinations, and customize some important routing parameters (Page 69). - Page 82 This estimation can only be used as a general reference. It will not be able to take into account your future speed or the traffic delays. In MioMap this value is shown as ‘Estimated Arrival’ on the Route Information screen (Page 33).
- Page 83 This is today’s standard for not only marine but also all other GPS devices. MioMap, as well as most GPS devices, will default to using this protocol out of the box.
- Page 84 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.
