  • Page 8: Warnings And Safety Information

    NAVFLY Navigator has a built-in (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 NAVFLY Navigator, we strongly encourage you to turn on the Safety Mode.

  • Page 10: General Information

    When using NAVFLY 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 12: Operating Navfly Navigator (Controls)

    Operating NAVFLY Navigator (Controls) NAVFLY 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. 3.1 Hardware buttons Hardware buttons are mostly used on map screens to zoom, tilt and rotate the map, or to open other screens.

  • Page 13: Tilt Up And Down

    3.1.1 Tilt up and down This function modifies the vertical view angle of the map in 3D mode. NAVFLY 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.

  • Page 14: The Route Information Screen

  • Page 15: List Selectors

    3.2.3 Sliders When a feature has several different unnamed (numeric) values, NAVFLY Navigator will show sliders that look like analogue potentiometers to set the desired value. If the value limits are not displayed at the ends of the slider, the leftmost position means the minimum value, while the rightmost position represents the maximum value.

  • Page 16: Special Switches

    Tap the button to toggle between the enabled and disabled states. 3.2.7 Virtual keyboards NAVFLY Navigator 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 17: Abc-Type Keyboards

    3.2.7.1 ABC-type keyboards These keyboards contain only letters (Latin, Hebraic, Greek or Cyrillic).

    3.2.7.3 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. (English) (Spanish) (French) Although QWERTY-type keyboards also contain number keys, when entering a house number, the program offers the more convenient numeric keypad.

  • Page 20: Discovering The Program Through The Screens

    Discovering the program through the screens The best way to discover NAVFLY Navigator 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. NAVFLY Navigator 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.

    Color schemes. They may not look the same in the schemes you have chosen. Tip: If you use NAVFLY Navigator 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 26: Other Objects

    The alternative is a kind of virtual signpost stuck into the street itself. You need not choose between the two modes. NAVFLY 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 NAVFLY Navigator switches between the two modes in an instant.

If you are not yet in the settlement where this next street is, NAVFLY Navigator will display the name of the settlement instead of the name of the road or street. A bullet symbol will appear next to the name of settlements to help you tell them apart from street names.

  • Page 40: Route Line

    When NAVFLY Navigator 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 41: 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’.

  • Page 50: Recalculate

    Bypass When you run into a traffic jam or roadblock, you may want to have NAVFLY Navigator calculate a route that departs the original route as soon as it can. You will need to select the minimum distance along the original route where your new route is allowed to rejoin the original route.

  • Page 51: Delete

    To change later parts of the route or to avoid specific streets or turns, use the Avoid function in Itinerary instead (4.7.3.3).

    Sliding it to the right will result in more accurate routing in an increased amount of time. Note: Since NAVFLY 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 64: Vehicle

    If your destination can only be accessed using some of the excluded road types, NAVFLY 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 65: 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 NAVFLY Navigator plan the best toll-free route for you.
