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.

Note: The automatic day/night mode is based upon the current date and GPS position by which MioMap calculates t he exact sunrise and sunset times on the particular day at the particular location. Using that informa[...]
