Page 8: Warnings And Safety Information
It will determine your exact location with the help of the built-in 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 installed map set. 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 C220 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 39) behave as normal switches but they look different in order to fit in with the other menu buttons. -
Page 13: Qwerty-Type Keyboards
This type of keyboard has large, finger-friendly buttons. Note: If you have chosen a program language that uses Latin letters, only the ABC keyboard appears. If you choose the Greek language, an additional keyboard appears with Greek letters. Similarly Hebraic and Cyrillic letters are available when Hebrew or Russian is chosen in Setup / Languages (Page 78). - Page 14 Although QWERTY-type keyboards also contain number keys, when entering a house number, the program offers the more convenient numeric keypad.

Page 15: 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 Main menu MioMap starts by displaying the Main menu. -
Page 16: The Map
4.2 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. -
Page 17: 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. -

selected colours to still keep you informed about all the necessary information on the screen. You can change between day and night views manually in the Quick Menu (Page 41) or let MioMap do it automatically (Page 70) 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 19: 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. -

road where you drive (e.g. on the right in Germany and on the left in the U.K.) on two-way roads. You always see this corrected position on the map. The position given by the GPS is not displayed, but this is the information recorded in the track log. When recorded track logs are shown on the map, the line is not corrected. -
Page 21: Road Safety Cameras
When the map is zoomed out, the icons are not shown. As you zoom in, small dots appear at the locations of visible POIs. Zooming in further makes the full icons appear. If two points are too close to each other so that icons overlap, a multi-POI icon shown instead of individual ones. -

of the route, and optionally via points and inactive legs. They are all shown on the map. 4.2.10.1 The start point, via points and the destination These points are represented by flags. 4.2.10.2 Animated turn guidance Animated arrows represent all route events other than the above-mentioned special points. -
Page 23: Roads In The Route Excluded By Your Preferences
4.2.10.4 Roads in the route excluded by your preferences Although you can choose whether to include or avoid some road types in Route parameter settings (Page 77), 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 colour. - Page 24 Map screen contents: Cockpit screen contents: Display (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 Control Opens Route menu*...

Page 26: Tilt Up And Down (No. 4 & 5)
Zoom will change the scale of the map. Zoom out shows a larger part of the map, while Zoom in shows a smaller part of the map in more detail. The automatic Smart Zoom function will do the necessary zooming for you when navigating (zooms out if the next turn is at a distance to let you see far ahead and zooms in when approaching a turn to give you a better view of the upcoming manoeuvre). -
Page 27: Cursor (No. 7)
Normally MioMap positions the map to keep the GPS position visible somewhere on the map (when North-up orientation is selected), or always at the bottom centre of the map (when Track-up orientation is selected). If you manually move the map, it will freeze the map in the new position. To return to the GPS position, use this Follow button. -
Page 28: Menu (No. 9)
Similarly to the icon found on the GPS Data screen (Page 34), the map screens also inform you about the GPS signal: • 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... -

GPS receiver are permanently connected, so this icon may not appear under normal circumstances. • Red shows there is a connection, but the signal is too weak to give a position. GPS navigation is not possible. • Black shows there is a GPS position, and navigation is possible. When only one arc is shown, the position is 2D (no altitude available), and position error may be significant, yet MioMap is ready to navigate. -
Page 30: Track Log Recording/Playback Indicator (No. 14)
Note: Sound can be muted in Sound settings (Page 74), 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 31 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 32: 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 33: Distance To Next Turn (No. 18)
4.3.16 Distance to next turn (No. 18) This field shows the distance to go before reaching the next route event (turn, roundabout, exit, etc.) This field is only displayed when navigating a route. 4.3.17 Next street / Next settlement (No. 19) This field shows the road or street that comes next in the route itinerary. -
Page 34: Gps Data Displayed
• TMC, • Time Sync. 4.4.1 GPS data displayed The virtual sky on the left represents the currently visible part of the sky above you, with your position as the centre. The satellites are shown at their current positions. The GPS receives data from both the green and grey satellites. Signals from the grey satellites are only received, while green ones are used by the GPS to calculate your current location. -
Page 35: Time Synchronization
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 36: Route Data Displayed (For Destination And Via Points)
(Page ). Without an active route one of the buttons is inactive and route data cannot be displayed. As a reminder, you can open this screen two ways: tapping the Info button in the Route menu (Page 50), or tapping one of the Route Data fields on the Cockpit screen. -

data that belongs to a via point, the route is coloured only up to that via point. The rest of the line remains grey. 4.5.1.2 Distance Left This value can also be displayed in one of the Route data fields on the Cockpit screen as ‘Distance to destination’. -
Page 38: Warning Icons
4.5.2 Warning icons The following 5 squares are normally grey. Some of them turn red and show a graphical symbol in case warning(s) are attached to the planned route. These are warnings, so icons always show information for the whole route, even if the data fields display values from your current position to a via point only. -
Page 39: Fit To Screen
• Next page – displayed when more than 5 warnings apply for the recommended route. 4.5.3 Fit to screen Tap this button to display an overview of the whole recommended route. You will jump to the Map screen with a 2D North-up view so that you can check where the route takes you. -
Page 40: 3D Map (Switch)
4.6.2.1 2D / 3D Map (switch) This button switches between the top-down and the perspective views of the map screen. The states of this button are: In 3D mode the map shows a perspective view. You can use the tilt buttons (Page 26) to change the angle of the view if they are enabled with the switch right from this one (Page 40). -
Page 41: Daylight & Night Modes (Switch)
The Tilt buttons appear only at higher zoom levels. If you zoom out, they disappear. 4.6.2.3 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. - Page 42 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. If you highlight any of the POI groups, 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.
- Page 43 disabled Lock-to-Position by tapping the map, the POIs will be ordered by their distance from the Cursor. When the My POI Groups are displayed, you have the following options: • Show/Hide: similarly to built-in POIs, you have the possibility to show or hide all POIs of the selected category on the map.
-
Page 44: Popup Information (Switch)
Here you have the following options: • OK: if you tap this button, the map screen returns with the selected POI in the middle. • Edit: you can edit the attributes (name, icon and group) of the selected POI. • Delete: you can delete any of your previously saved POIs. MioMap will ask you to confirm this action. -
Page 45: Manage Track Logs
4.6.2.6 Manage Track Logs Using MioMap it is also possible to save the track logs of your journeys. This screen lets you manage all your track logs. When it comes up, it shows a list of all track logs already saved. The original name of a track log is the date and time when it was recorded. -

recalculation is disabled. However you may consider using it when you travel on a road parallel to that recommended by the route. In this case MioMap may not recalculate the route for some time, but you can force recalculation here. This is also the button you will most frequently use when the window appears automatically, provided that the manual route recalculation is set (Page 73). -
Page 48: Itinerary
This function has a special role if you have used the Avoid feature during your journey. When you arrive at your destination, the route line disappears on the map and navigation stops. The route is now practically deleted, but if you plan a new route, the roads, manoeuvres and areas excluded from your route will also be avoided when planning the new route. -
Page 49: Fly Over
Avoid Tap this button to show a list of possibilities for modifying the route. They let you recalculate the route avoiding the highlighted event and sometimes also some of the subsequent ones. • 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. -
Page 50: Edit
4.6.3.5 Edit Tap Edit to see the list of all points used in the route. The first item in the list is the departure point of the route without a valid GPS position, the last reached via point if you open the list during navigation, or the point where MioMap most recently recalculated the route. -

Tap this button to toggle between the two possibilities. 4.8.2.5 Use traffic information This button is enabled by default, which means that TMC messages are used in route planning. -
Page 57: 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 58: Using The Find Menu
Note: When appearing automatically, the Cursor menu remains open for a few seconds only. If you decide not to choose any of the actions listed, the menu closes automatically. When you open it manually, it will remain until you close it or switch to another screen. -
Page 59: 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 60 Selecting a new settlement to search in 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...
- Page 61 Note: When the name of the settlement contains a character that is not available on the keyboard (e.g. apostrophe or dash), MioMap considers it a space that splits the word. That is why you can search for ‘Alleyn-Et-Cawood’ with all the following search criteria: ‘A E C’, ‘Et A’, or ‘Al Ca’.
-
Page 62: Selecting A Street Or The Centre Of The Settlement
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 63: Selecting A House Number Or The Midpoint Of The Street
Selecting a street If you are looking for an address or an intersection within the selected settlement (shown at the top of the page), you need to first enter the street name you are looking for. Tip: If you are looking for an intersection, choose the street that has a rare or unusual name first. -
Page 64: How To Select An Intersection Instead Of A House Number
Note: House numbers may not be available on the map of your region. Ask your local dealer for details. Tip: If you do not know the house number, just press Done, and the midpoint of the street will be used as the selected location. 5.3.1.4 How to select an intersection instead of a house number If you do not know the house number or it is easier to pinpoint the location with an intersection, press the Find intersection button in the top right corner and select the... -

Page 70: 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 41), this automatic mode turns off. -
Page 71: Alternative Speeding Tolerance
6.1.4.3 Alternative speeding tolerance If the speed limit of the current road reaches the value set at Alternative speed limit, this setting will replace the basic one set at the top of this screen. The slider and the selector work exactly as the basic ones described here: Page 70. Example: to let you better understand how this feature works, here is an example. -
Page 72: Audible Warning
6.1.6.1 Audible Warning You can disable the audible warning; have a simple warning (when you are warned only if you exceed the speed limit when approaching a camera); or a complex sound with repeated beeps as you approach the camera. In case of section control cameras, you will also hear these beeps while you are between the two cameras (these cameras work in pairs). -
Page 73: Set Favourite Destinations
6.1.7 Set Favourite Destinations You can select two of your most frequent destinations to be your favourites (Page 68). You can start navigating to either of them by only two taps on the screen. The original names of these points are Home and Work. You can rename them and specify their locations. -
Page 74: Disabled
Your options are: • Recalculate: MioMap will recalculate the route with the previous settings. The result is the same as if Automatic recalculation was selected. • Drop Next Via Point / Delete Route: MioMap will remove the next via point from the list and recalculate the route without it. -

motorways for pedestrians), or some of the restrictions may not be taken into account (e.g. emergency vehicles have no restrictions). Furthermore, when Bus or Lorry is chosen, the program assumes that high speeds cannot be achieved, and this information is taken into account when calculating the route, the estimated time enroute (ETE), and the estimated time of arrival (ETA). -
Page 78: U-Turns
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. Turning back on dual carriageways is not considered as a u-turn. Note: Via points are handled as stopovers with regards to u-turns. -

Page 83: 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 84 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 85 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. Selecting North-up, the map remains oriented to have North toward the top. Use the left and right hardware buttons to turn your map in the direction you wish.
