    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 H610 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: List Selectors

    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. The arrows are buttons. Tap to move left in the list or tap to move right.

  • Page 12: Switches In The Quick Menu

    3.2.5 Switches in the Quick menu The switches of the Quick menu (Page 36) behave as normal switches but they look different in order to fit in with the other menu buttons. Tap the button to toggle between the two states. Remember that the sign on the button will not indicate the current state but the state you can switch it to.

  • 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

    Note: You may find that 2D mode is more useful in North-up Map mode when looking for a certain part of the map or an object to select as destination. On the other hand, 3D mode in Track-up Cockpit mode with Smart Zoom makes navigation very comfortable.

  • Page 16: Streets And Roads

    You can change between day and night views manually in the Quick Menu (Page 37) or let MioMap do it automatically (Page 67) 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.

    of the street aligned with the street. The alternative is a kind of virtual signpost stuck into the street itself. 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: Elements Of The Active Route

    4.1.8 Elements of the Active Route MioMap uses a multi-destination routing system in which you have a start point (your current location if GPS position is available), a destination, the line of the active leg of the route, and optionally via points and inactive legs. They are all shown on the map.

  • Page 19: Roads In The Route Excluded By Your Preferences

    The line of the route is displayed on the driving side of the road for two-way and on the axis in case of one-way streets. When the map is zoomed in and the line is wide enough, small arrows show the direction of the route. This can be useful if you preview the route before starting the journey or when entering a complex junction.

    You need to tap the Lock (Page 23) 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. 4.2.4 Lock to GPS position and heading (No. 6) This semi-transparent icon is displayed if GPS position is available, and the map has been moved.

  • Page 24: Menu (No. 9)

    You can use it in both 2D and 3D modes to scale the map. Drag and pull it right to zoom in, or left to zoom out. 4.2.7 Menu (No. 9) This button opens the Menu with the Find engine, the Quick menu, the Route menu and the exit button that takes you to the Main menu screen.

  • Page 25: Gps Position Quality (No. 11)

    • The black satellite dish with the red exclamation mark shows there is no connection with the GPS receiver. GPS navigation is not possible. Devices with a built-in GPS receiver are permanently connected, so this icon may not appear under normal circumstances.

    Tap again to re-enable sounds. Note: Sound can be muted in Sound settings (Page 71), too. There you have a Master switch that works together with the switch described above. There is also a Master slider on that screen. That you can use to fully turn down the volume of the device.
  • Page 27 The content of the Cursor menu depends on the screen (Map or Cockpit) and it is slightly different if there is an active route already planned. You have the following options: • Start: use the Cursor as the departure point for your route. This menu point is available only in Map mode and when there is no active route.

  • Page 28: Current Street (No. 16)

    • Edit Cam: you can edit the parameters of the camera near or at the Cursor, or delete it. This menu point replaces Add Cam and is available only if the selected point is near or at a speed camera. A window will open up that contains the same settings as in Add Cam.

  • Page 29: Travel And Route Data (No. 17)

    4.2.15 Travel and Route data (No. 17) The contents of these three fields are different when cruising (without an active route) or navigating (following an active route). While cruising, the fields show the present speed, and the time of day. While navigating a route, these fields show the estimated time needed to reach the destination (ETE), the distance to destination, and the estimated arrival time at the destination (ETA) by default.

  • Page 30: Current Speed Limit (No. 21)

    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. 4.3 GPS Data screen Tap the small satellite dish icon on the Map or Cockpit screen to open this window.

  • Page 31: 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 32: Route Information Screen

    Turn on the Auto Correction switch to let MioMap frequently check and correct the PNA time with the GPS time. Below that button you will see the current values of the GPS and the PNA clocks. You can check here whether any correction is needed. Tap the button to manually synchronize the time.

  • Page 33: 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 34: 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.

    • 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 36: 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 37: 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 66) to have the colours change automatically again.

Groups shown with a grey icon are hidden; blue icons are visible on the map, while the ones shown in two colours have some of their subcategories shown and some others hidden.
  • Page 39 Note: The group Unnamed only appears if you have previously saved a POI item without creating a new POI group for it. Note: If there are valid entries in the Contacts application of your Mio DigiWalker H610, the ones MioMap can recognise the address in will be imported as My POIs, added to a new group named Contacts.

    • 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 44: Route Tab

    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. It brings up a menu with four options. Using one of these functions you can modify the current route.

  • Page 45: Delete

    You can modify the route to skip the next via point if you decide it is no longer needed. For example, you may have added the via point only to influence the route but you do not want to actually reach it; or you have already almost reached it, and MioMap still keeps on navigating towards that point.

  • Page 46: Itinerary

    Note: When a POI item is used as a route waypoint, deleting the route will not delete the POI item itself, just its role in the route. 4.5.3.3 Itinerary This function opens the itinerary (route event list) of the active route. The Itinerary has three different display modes and two functions.

  • Page 47: Fly Over

    • Manoeuvre: this option avoids the highlighted action. For example if you find a turn too difficult during rush hour traffic, 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 48: Info

    you open the list during navigation, or the point where MioMap most recently recalculated the route. This means the list is permanently updated, and via points drop out during the journey. The last item in the list is your final destination. Use the arrows on the right to browse through the list and tap any line to highlight it.

  • Page 51: 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 52: 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. Note: TMC is not a global service.

  • Page 53: Tmc Control Centre

    Tap the arrows to turn the page, and see traffic difficulties farther away from your current position, or press Settings to configure the TMC subsystem. This opens a new window. 4.7.2 TMC control centre This screen shows the selected TMC source and allows you to change the TMC settings.

    4.7.2.4 Sorts events by distance / type The list of traffic events can be ordered by their distance from the current position, or by their type. Tap this button to toggle between the two possibilities. 4.7.2.5 Use traffic information This button is enabled by default, which means that TMC messages are used in route planning.

  • Page 55: Find

    5 Find One of the most frequently used functions of MioMap is selecting the destination. 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 56: Using The Find Menu

    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 57: 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 58 If you are looking for a city or town (or state) you cannot find on the list, tap Other City in the top right corner. This will take you to the city name or postcode input screen, where you can select the desired city by entering a few letters of its name or 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.
  • Page 59 Tip: If you have finished entering the street name and the matching names are still on more than one page, just tap Done, and select your desired settlement from the list. Turn the pages with the arrow buttons in the bottom right corner. Tip: In case you are looking for a city name that has more than one word, you can reduce the list of matches faster if you enter a few letters from each word.

  • Page 60: Selecting A House Number Or The Midpoint Of The Street

    When the state is selected, you need to select a settlement by entering a part of its name or postcode, then selecting from the list of available matching items as described before. Note: In Australia you can skip this part by tapping Done before entering any letters. This way you can search for a street name in the whole state.

  • Page 61: How To Select An Intersection Instead Of A House Number

    Enter the number, tap Done, and MioMap will show you the selected location on the map (or will start navigating immediately if you have selected Find Address at the Main menu screen). Note: House numbers may not be available on the map of your region. Ask your local dealer for details.

  • Page 62: Find In History

    • You need not enter accents, the apostrophe, and you can enter more of the words in any order separated by spaces. Enter ‘R D Uz’, ‘D Uz’, ‘Uz’, and ‘rue d’Uzès’ automatically appears; or enter ‘R D U’, ‘U R D’, ‘Ru U’, and tap Done to get the list of matching street names.

  • Page 63: Find A Poi

    The coordinates are always shown in ‘broken degrees’ format, but you can enter the coordinates in any of the three latitude/longitude formats (broken degrees; degrees and broken minutes; or degrees, minutes and broken seconds). You can even enter the latitude and longitude in different formats. Entering a latitude/longitude pair is easy.

    Search results are ordered by their distance from the given reference point (nearest first). Note: In the case of POI items that you have created, you can also see the results in alphabetical order. Push the button with the label ABC that appears between Filter and the page number.

  • Page 66: 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 67: 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 37), this automatic mode turns off.

  • Page 68: 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...

    key sounds are turned on, the slider on the right will adjust their loudness. In its leftmost position the key sounds are suppressed, in its rightmost position they are played at the master volume level. Note: The sound effects of MioMap are context sensitive. They will be different if, for example you open or close a window, or you enable or disable a setting.

  • Page 73: Route

    6.3.1 Route Here you can choose from three different route types. 6.3.1.1 Shortest Choosing Shortest will result in a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes between the given points. This is usually preferred by pedestrians, cyclists or slow vehicles.

  • Page 74: Road Types To Include/Exclude

    • Pedestrian 6.3.3 Road types to include/exclude To let the route fit your needs you can also set which road types are to be considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible. Note: Excluding a route is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total prohibition.

  • Page 75: Toll Roads

    6.3.3.6 Toll Roads Toll roads are included in your routes by default. If you wish to travel more to avoid paying a toll, disabling them will make MioMap plan the best toll-free route for you. 6.3.3.7 Cross-border Planning By default MioMap plans routes using the border crossing points. However if you live near the border, you can disable border crossing with this switch to remain within one country.

  • Page 76: Set Date & Time Format

    6.5 Backlight 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 H610. 6.5.1 Power management At the top of the screen you can set how the backlight will behave when the screen has not been touched for a while.

  • Page 77: Brightness

    6.5.2 Brightness You can set the backlight level separately for both daylight and night modes, thus enhancing the effect of the night colour scheme. The values are between 0 and 10, where zero means there is no backlight at all, and 10 represents the maximum backlight value.

    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 81 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 82 Lock button appears on the screen. Tapping it will re-enable Lock-to-Position. See also Page 23. 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 83 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.
