    4 Discovering the program through the screens The best way to discover iGO 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. iGO starts by displaying the Main menu. This is the root of the screen hierarchy, but you only need to return here in a few cases.

  • Page 45: Gps Data Displayed

    4.3.1 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 46: Gps Data Quality Indicator

    other colours may not appear with a built-in GPS. Should any of these appear, this means a faulty operation of your device. Note: When the GPS connection cannot be established with the last used parameters (protocol, port and speed), iGO keeps on trying to connect. To save the battery power in cases when you use iGO without a GPS, iGO first tries to open the port in every few seconds, but later only twice every minute.

  • Page 47: The Map

    Turn on the Auto Correction switch to let iGO 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 48: Zoom Levels

    Note: Using the Advanced settings, you can force Cockpit mode to always start in 3D Track-up view (Page ). You can still rotate and tilt the maps in either mode, but the next time you enter this screen, the preset look will reappear. Note: Similarly you can force Map mode to always start in 2D North-up view.

  • Page 49: Streets And Roads

    You can change between day and night views manually in the Quick Menu (Page 43) or let iGO do it automatically ( Page 55) for you. Note: The automatic day/night mode is based upon the current date and GPS position by which iGO calculates the exact sunrise and sunset times on the particular day at the particular location.

  • Page 50: Other Objects

    Streets and roads have names or numbers for identification. Of course, this information can be displayed on the map. iGO uses two different ways to show street labels. The conventional way is the same as a roadmap – it displays the name of the street aligned with the street.

  • Page 51: Current Position And Lock-On-Road

    4.4.6 Current position and Lock-on-Road When your GPS position is available, a blue arrow (yellow when using night colours) shows your location on the map. The direction of the arrow represents your heading. The arrow is sized and vertically rotated with the zoom and tilt levels to always look realistic. iGO has a built-in Lock-on-Road feature that always puts the position arrow on the road, on the axis of the street in case of one-way streets, or on the side of the road where you drive (e.g.

    pin, or save it as a POI. The cursor, when visible, is also the reference point for map scaling. Note: When your GPS position is available, and Lock-to-Position (Page ) is active, the cursor is the current GPS position, the blue arrow. When you select another point by tapping the map, or using the Find menu (Page 74), the new Cursor is shown on the display with the red dot and the radiating red circles.
  • Page 53 POIs are represented by icons on the map. For a built-in POI it is the icon of the subcategory of the actual POI. For points you create, it is the icon you had chosen when you created the POI (it can be changed later). These icons are large enough to recognise the symbol, and semi-transparent so as not to cover the streets and junctions behind them.

  • Page 54: The Start Point, Via Points And The Destination

    4.4.10 Elements of the Active Route iGO 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.

    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 65: Distance To Next Turn (No. 18)

    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. You can choose what to display in these three fields during navigation, by going to Advanced settings / Display Options (Page The only restriction is that you cannot select a value that already appears in another field.

  • Page 66: Approaching Next Turn (No. 20)

    4.5.18 Approaching next turn (No. 20) This bar is only visible when approaching the next route event. It appears on the screen to visualise the distance when you get closer than 300 meters (1000 feet) to the next turn, and it remains visible till you reach the turn. This field is displayed only when navigating a route.

  • Page 67: Route Line

    4.6.1.1 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. The blue (yellow at night) arrow representing your position will travel from the left to the right, giving you visual feedback of your journey.

  • Page 68: Estimated Arrival

    4.6.1.5 Estimated Arrival This is an estimated value that can also be displayed in one of the Route data fields on the Cockpit screen as ‘ETA to destination’. It shows the estimated arrival time at the final destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route.

  • Page 69: Fit To Screen

    This icon warns you that iGO had to recommend a route that does not match all your preferences given at the Route Parameters settings.

    5.7.5.1 Off-route sensitivity and Recalculation delay Depending on the quality of your GPS device, the GPS antenna location in the car and the environment you are driving in, route recalculation can behave differently. iGO may think you have departed the proposed route and perform a recalculation even if you have not done so.

  • Page 104 You can accomplish this by using an alphabetic input screen (either an ABC- or a QWERTY-type). You only need to enter the first few letters, as the program only searches among the settlements that exist in the given state or country. If the name of the settlement is of more than one word, the searched pattern can be any or the combination of those.
  • Page 105 Once you have selected the city, you can continue by entering the street name as described here: Page Changing the state (Australia, USA, etc.) Some of the maps contain state information.

  • Page 116: Glossary

    8 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 117 Automatic day/night colours: Based on the time and position given by the GPS device, iGO is able to calculate when the sun rises and sets at your current location on this particular day. Using that information iGO can change between the day and the night colour schemes a few minutes before sunrise and a few minutes after sunset (Page ).
  • Page 118 also in Page . However for pedestrian use it can be permanently turned off in Advanced settings (Page 70). Lock-on-Road: This function of iGO will always keep the blue (yellow at night) arrow representing your actual position on the nearest road. This automatic feature is necessary as the position given by the GPS receiver is not perfectly accurate.
  • Page 119 SiRF: This is the name of a popular GPS chipset manufacturer. Their specific communication protocol can be processed by iGO. SiRF based GPS devices are also capable of NMEA communication, the factory setting of communication protocol in iGO. Track log: In iGO you have the possibility to record your journeys using the position data your GPS provides in every second or every few seconds (depending on your GPS settings).
