1 W a rnings and safety information Mio Map is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected destination. It will determine your exact lo cation with the help of a built-in GPS device.
.
2 General information Mio Map is a navigation system optimised fo r in-car use. It provides door-to-door navigation for both single and multi-point routes using adaptable route parameters. Mio Map is capable of planning routes thr oughout the whole map region installed on the memory card.
.
3 Operating Mio Map (Controls) Mio Map is designed for easy operation. All controls ar e operable by fingertips. Wherever possible, pushbuttons and lists ar e provided to make accessing functions or changing settings as easy as possible. 3.1 Hardware buttons There are only a few hardware buttons on your Mio DigiWalker P350/P550.
The automatic Smart Zoom function will do the necessary tilting for you when navigating (gives a flat view if the next tu rn is at a distance to let you see far ahead and raises the angle when approaching a tu rn to give you a better view of the upcoming manoeuvre).
Note: In order to receive voice in structions, sound should not be muted ( 4.3.11 ), voice guidance must be enabled ( 6.2.2 ), and a route must be active. Note: If you have disabled Smart Zoom by using the functions above or moved the map during navigation (i.
The arrows are buttons. Tap to move left in the list or tap to move right. You need not confirm your selection. As soon as you leave the screen, the selected value becomes effective.
Tap the button to toggle between the two st ates. Remember that the sign on the button will not indicate the current state but the state you can switch it to. 3.2.6 Virtual ke yboards Mio Map is designed in a way that you onl y need to enter letters or numbers when it is inevitable.
If you are used to computer keyboards, you may consider trying one of the QWERTY-type keypads. 3.2.6.2 QWERTY-type keyboards QWERTY-type keyboards have both letters and numbers on them. Their layout is the same as of the standard QWERTY and AZERTY (French) keyboards.
4 Discovering the program through the screens The best way to discover Mio Map is to explore 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 Main menu Mio Map starts by displaying the Main menu.
Button to open History Section 5.3.2 Button to open Cockpit screen Section 4.3 Button to exit Mio Map 4.2 The map The most important and mo st frequently used screens of Mio Map are the two screens with the map (Map scree n and Cockpit screen). They are similar in look and in possible controls but are optimised for different uses.
Note: Using the Advanced settings, you can fo rce Cockpit mode to always start in 3D Track-up view ( 6.5.1 ). You can still rotate a nd tilt t he maps in either mode, but the next time you enter this screen, the preset look will reappear.
You can change between day and night view s manually in th e Quick Menu ( 4.6.2.3 ) or let Mio Map do it automatically ( 6.1.2 ) for you. Note: The automatic day/night mode is based upon the current date and GPS position by which Mio Map calculates t he exact sunrise and sunset times on the particular day at the particular location.
streets also refers to their importance, so it will not be difficult to tell a highway from a small street. Streets and roads have names or numbers for identification. Of course, this information can be displayed on the map. Mio Map uses two different ways to show street labels.
4.2.6 Current position and Lock-on-Road When your GPS position is av ailable, a green arrow shows your location on the map. The direction of the arrow represents your heading. The arrow is sized and vertically rotated with the zoom and tilt leve ls to always look realistic.
Note: When your GPS position is available, and Lock-to-Position ( 4.3.4 ) is active, the cursor is the current GPS position, the green arrow. When you select anot her point by tapping the map, or using the Find menu ( 5.3 ), the new Cursor is shown on the display with the red dot and t he radiating red circles.
Tip: Tap the map on or near a POI item to see the list of the nam es of the nearest POIs in a popup list, if it is enabled ( 4.6.2.5 ). To see the details of a particular POI in the list, tap the blue ’i’ icon on the right. If you have too may POIs nearby, this list may not be complete.
4.2.11.2 Animated turn guidance Animated arrows represent all route events other than the above-mentioned specia l points. These arrows show the direction in which you need to continue your journey. 4.2.11.3 The route line The line representing the plan ned route is displayed in or ange with both daylight and night colours.

If the map contains speed limit informati on, this will be the default value for Camera Speed. Edit Cam • : you can edit the parameters of the camera near or at the Cursor, or delete it. This menu point replaces Add Cam and is available only if the selected point is near or at a s peed camera.
4.3.14 Current street (No. 16) This field of the Cockpit screen shows th e name or number (as available) of the current street or r oad you are driving on. 4.3.15 Travel an d R oute data (No. 17) The contents of these three fields are differe nt when cruising (without an active route) or navigating (following an active route).
This field is only displayed when navigating a route. 4.3.18 Approaching next turn (N o. 2 0) This bar is only visible when approachi ng the next route event. It appears on the screen to visualise the distance when you get closer than 300 meters (1000 feet) to the next turn, and it remains visible till you reach the turn.
The GPS receives data from both the green and grey s atellites. Signals from the grey satellites are only received, while green ones are used by the GPS to calculate your current location. On the right you can see the satellite signal stre ngth bars. Dark bars are for the grey and orange bars ar e for the green satellites.
• - green means 3D reception. The GPS receiver has enough satellites to calculate altitude. Position is generally corre ct (yet it can still be inaccurate due to different environmental factors).
4.5.1 Route dat a dis play ed (for de stination and via points) In the top section of the screen you see information about the c urrent route. These fields are continuously updated while you keep this screen open. When you open the screen, all fields contai n information on reaching your final destination.
4.5.1.2 Distance Left This value can also be displayed in one of the Route data fi elds on the Cockpit screen as ‘Distance to destination’. This is the distan ce you need to travel on the route before reaching y our final destination. If via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the distance to reach the first, second, etc.
4.5.2 Warni ng icons The following 5 squares are normally grey . Some of them turn 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.

Note: The group Unnamed only appears if you have previously saved a POI item without creating a new POI group for it. Note: If there are valid entries in the Contacts application of your Mio DigiWalk er, the ones Mio Map can recognise the address in will be imported as My POIs, added to a new group named Contacts.
• Left/right arrows : if your groups fill several pages, these buttons in the bottom right corner will let you browse through them. The green field left of these buttons shows the current page num ber and the number of pages.
• Delete : you can delete the selected POI. Mi o Map will ask you to confirm this action. 4.6.2.5 Popup Information (switch) This button enables or disables the popup information of the Cursor on the map screens.
The original name of a tra ck log is the date and time w hen it was recorded. You can change their name to something mo re meaningful if you wish.

road parallel to that recommended by the r oute. In this case Mio Map may not recalculate the route for some time, but you can force recalculation here. This is also the button you will most fr equently use when the windo w appears automatically, provided that the manual rout e recalculation is set in 6.
This function has a special role if you have used the Avoid feature during your journey. When you arrive at your destinat ion, the route line disappears on the map and navigation stops.
Tap this button to show a list of possibilities for modifying the route. They let you recalculate the route avoidi ng the highlighted event and sometimes also some of the subsequent ones.
Lifelike simulation The other way to do a Fly Over is to tap the Fly Over button without pushing the Tilt down button. In this mode the simulation is run at normal speed (using the speed limit of the streets and roads in the route), and voice instructions are also played.
4.6.3.6 Info This button opens the Route Information screen described in 4.5 . This screen shows information about the current route and has a few additional options to check and modify your active route. 4.6.4 Main button The Main button at the bottom right corner leads to the Main menu screen described in 4.

The TMC is a sp ecific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-t ime traffic and weather information. You need a TMC receiver attached to your Mio DigiWalker to receive TMC information.
4.8.2 TMC control centre This screen shows the selected TMC sour ce and allows you t o change the TMC settings. 4.8.2.1 Selected FM radio station The name and frequency of the selected radio stat ion .
4.8.2.5 Use traffic information This button is enabled by default, whic h means that TMC me ssages are used in route planning. Tap this button to have Mio Map ignore real-time traffic information when planning routes. Tip: If you are setting up a rout e for a future journey, it may be better to turn off TMC.
.
5 Find One of the most frequently used functions of Mio Map is selecting the destination. Once you have the destination, you can star t navigating. Getting to this point should be as fast as possible. Mio Map provides you w ith a versatile s earch engine designed to find your chosen destination after only a few taps on the screen.
Note: When appearing automatically, t he Cursor menu rem ains open for a few seconds only. If you decide not to choose any of the actions list ed, the menu closes automatically. When you open it m anually, it will remain until y ou close it or switch to another screen.
You enter the module at Level 3. From this point you can go forward (down) to give the name of the street, then the house number or intersection, or backward (up) to change the city, state or country to search.
You can enter the city name using an alph abetic input screen (eit her an ABC- or a QWERTY-type). You only need to enter the first few letters, as the program only searches among the settlements that exist in the given state or country.
Note: If any of the settlements on the list has named suburbs or numbered districts that also appear separately in the map, a Show districts button will appea r in the bottom left corner. Tap this button to list the suburbs together with the main settlements.
Changing the country If your destination is in another country, tap the Change Countr y button in the top right corner of the state se lection screen (Australia and US A), or the city selection screen (Europe and Asia), and select the country from the list.
Tip: You can search for both the type and t he name of a road. If you have t he same name appear as Street, Av enue, Boulevard, Road, Place and Court, you can get the result faster by giving the first letter of t he type, too. For example searching for ‘Pi A’ will result in Pine Avenue skipping all Pine Streets and Pine Roads.
5.3.1.5 An example for a full address search This is an example for a complex address s earch, finding an addre ss from abroad. In this example your current position is in Eu rope but not in France, and you are looking for an address in Paris, France.
Just pick any of the recent locations as y our destination. Here you have no possibility to reorder the list or filter it by name, but the Next and Previous buttons let you browse through the complete list to find your preferred point. 5.3.3 Find Coordinates Mio Map also lets you enter your destinat ion by map coordinates.
Once you have entered both numbers, pr ess Done to make the selection. Tip: The quickest way to tell t he coordinates of a point is to select it by tapping on the map or by using Find, and then come to this page and read the coordinates.
• GPS Position : the search will be carried out around the current location given by the GPS if it is available. If no G PS position is available, the last known GPS position (grey arrow on the map) will be used. • Destination : the search will be carried out around the destination of your current route.
Tapping OK will return to the map with the selected POI in the centre (or starts navigating to it if started from the Main menu screen). Tapping the arrow in the top left corner returns to the search results.
6 Settings Mio Map provides several settings in order to let you customise the functions of the program. The Settings screen can be accessed directly from the Main menu screen ( 4.1 ) and from the map screens by using the battery icon ( 4.3.10 ), while some of its sub-screens are accessible from other parts of the program.
6.1.2 Automatic Night Colours Using the automatic night mode, Mio Map will change between the daylight and night colour schemes a few minutes before sunrise and a few minutes after sunset based on the time and location information prov ided by your GPS.
Move the slider to its right most position to turn off t he alternative speed warning. Then the settings of the upper slider wil l determine the warning for all roads.
