8 1 Warnings and safety information MioMap is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected destination. It will determine your exact loc ation with the help of an attached GPS device. The position information obtain ed from the GPS re ceiver will not be transmitted anywhere, so others will not be able to track you by the help o[...]

9 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.

With most sliders you can che ck the current value on the left. This control can be operated in two ways. Either drag t he handle to move the slider to its new position, or ta[...]

13 The alphabetic keyboards in MioMap do not contain special characters, because you do not need to enter accents wh en searching for a destinati on. Type only the base letters (the letter most similar to the a ccented one) and MioMap will search for all their combinations in the database (e.g. fo r the French street ‘Cit é Bergère ’ you only[...]

14 4 Discovering the program through the screens The best way to discover MioMap is to expl ore each screen in detail, and to find out how to move from one to another. R ead this chapter for a guided tour. 4.1 The map The most important and mo st frequently used screens of MioMap are the two screens with the map (Map screen and Cockpit scr een). Th[...]
