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 lo ca tion with the help of the built-in GPS device. The position information obtain ed from the GPS re ceiver will not be transmitted anywhere, so others will not be abl e to track you by the help [...]

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 thr oughout the whole installed map set. Unlike some other products, MioMap does not requir e that you change maps or swit ch [...]

3 Operating MioMap (Controls) MioMap is designed for easy operation. A ll 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 There is only one hardware button on your Mio DigiWalker C220. The majority of the MioMap func[...]

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 wit h a short description) in a hor izontal stripe with arrows at both ends. The arrows are buttons. Tap to move left in the list or tap to move right. You need not confirm your sele ct[...]

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 th e Quick menu The switches of the Quick menu (Page 39 ) behave as normal switches but they look different in order to fit[...]

This type of keyboard has la rge, finger-friendly buttons. Note: If you have chosen a program language that uses Latin letters, only the ABC keyboard appears. If you choose the Gr eek language, an additional keyboard appears with Greek letters. Similarly Hebraic and Cyrillic letters are available when Hebrew or Russian is chosen in Setup / Language[...]

Although QWERTY-type keyboards also contain number keys, when entering a house number, the program offers the more convenient numeric keypad.[...]

4 Discovering the program through the screens The best way to discover MioMap is to expl ore each screen in deta il, and to find out how to move from one to another. R ead this chapter for a guided tour. 4.1 Main menu MioMap starts by displaying the Main menu. This is the root of the screen hierarchy, but you need to return here very rarely while u[...]

They are similar in look and in possible controls but are optimised for different[...]

Note: You may find that 2D mode is mo re useful in North-up Map mode when looking for a certain part of the map or an object to sele ct as destination. On the other hand, 3D mode in Tra ck-up Cockpit mode with Smar t Zoom makes navigation very comfortable. The description of thes e modes will come later in this manual. Note: 3D view is only useful [...]

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 t he exact[...]

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 bet ween the two modes in an instant. Note: The automatic switching is on even when using Smart Zoom . At first you may find it odd, but [...]

This is the distance you need to travel on the route before reaching y our final destinat[...]

4.5.2 Warning i cons The following 5 squares are normally grey . Some of them tu rn 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 cu rrent position to a via point only. Click on any of th[...]
