  • Page 8: Warnings And Safety Information

    Warnings and safety information BEMI-NAV Navigator is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected destination. 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

    When using BEMI-NAV Navigator, 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 BEMI-NAV Navigator (Controls) BEMI-NAV Navigator is designed for easy operation. All controls are operable by fingertips. Wherever possible, pushbuttons and lists are provided to make accessing functions or changing settings as easy as possible.

  • Page 11: Tilt Up And Down

    3.1.1 Tilt up and down This function modifies the vertical view angle of the map in 3D mode. BEMI-NAV Navigator offers a wide range of view angles starting from a top down view (a seamlessly integrated 2D view) down to a flat view that lets you see far ahead.

    You need not choose between the two modes. BEMI-NAV Navigator 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 BEMI-NAV Navigator switches between the two modes in an instant.

  • Page 24: Selected Map Point, Also Known As The Cursor

    The arrow is sized and vertically rotated with the zoom and tilt levels to always look realistic. BEMI-NAV Navigator 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.

  • Page 41: Map

    POIs that come with the map. Manage built-in POI visibility The maps in BEMI-NAV Navigator come with a huge number of POIs. Displaying all of them would make the maps too crowded (to see how POI items are shown on the map see 4.4.9).

  • Page 56: Map Settings

    The less detailed the map, the faster BEMI-NAV Navigator can draw and move it. You will find that BEMI-NAV Navigator has a very fast graphic engine that is capable of moving even detailed maps at high speed. Yet you may experience that the performance of some old PND models can be enhanced by decreasing the amount of detail on the map.

  • Page 57: Textured Polygons

    When you exit the program, the device settings return. The left part of this control works as a mute button. Tap to mute all BEMI-NAV Navigator sounds. This works in tandem with the Mute button (4.5.11) on the map screens.

  • Page 59: Route Parameter Settings

    Sliding it to the right will result in more accurate routing in an increased amount of time. Note: Since BEMI-NAV Navigator calculates routes very quickly, the position of this slide is only used for long routes. Short routes are always calculated to give you the optimal result independent of the slider.

  • Page 60: Vehicle

    If your destination can only be accessed using some of the excluded road types, BEMI-NAV Navigator will use them but only as much as necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on the Route Information screen (4.6), and the road not matching your preference will be displayed in red (yellow at night) on the map.

  • Page 61: U-Turns

    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 BEMI-NAV Navigator plan the best toll-free route for you. Note: You have a few more ways to influence routing and route recalculation in Advanced settings Route options (5.6.4).

  • Page 62: Program Language

    5.5.3 Units You can set the distance units to be used by the program. BEMI-NAV Navigator may not support all of the listed units in some voice guidance languages.

  • Page 66: Restore Lock-To-Position And Smart Zoom

    Restore Lock-to-Position Turn this switch on if you want BEMI-NAV Navigator to return to your current GPS position after you have moved the map during navigation. This is useful if you have moved the map accidentally, or if you have moved it to quickly check something near your route.

  • Page 67: Route Options

    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. BEMI-NAV Navigator may think you have departed the proposed route and perform a recalculation even if you have not done so.

  • Page 68: U-Turn Penalty
