Warnings and Precautions
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Please read and follow the following safety precautions.
Failure to follow the instructions below may increase your risk of collision and personal injury.
The Attention - Please Drive Safely! screen is displayed each time the IGO primo software is turned ON as a reminder to make use of the system’s navigational aids in a safe manner.
Before using the software, read this entire manual. Make sure that you are familiar with the system’s features and know how to operate the system. Proper use of the IGO primo software includes the following guidelines:
The IGO primo software is not a substitute for your personal judgment. The route suggestions should never supersede any local traffic regulation or your personal judgment and /or knowledge of safe driving practices. Prior to completing any maneuvers suggested by your IGO primo software (for example, a U-turn or a left turn), verify that you can legally and safely complete the maneuver. Do not follow route suggestions if they direct you to perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver, would place you in an unsafe situation, or would route you into an area that you consider unsafe.
Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. Let the computer voice guide you. If prolonged viewing is necessary, pull off the road to a safe location.
Do not use the IGO primo software to locate emergency services (such as police, fire stations, hospitals, and clinics). The database may not include all emergency service providers. Use your own best judgment and ask for directions in these situations.
If the vehicle is in motion, only a passenger should program the IGO primo software. The driver should not program the system unless the vehicle is parked in a safe location.
The IGO primo software’s map database provides information on suggested routes without regard to factors that may affect your driving experience or the time required to arrive at your destination. For example, the system does not reflect road detours, closures or construction, some road characteristics (e.g., road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), temporary traffic congestion, weather conditions, and similar factors.

IGO primo software provides turn-by-turn visual and voice assistance to direct you to your selected destination. The software quickly calculates step-by-step directions to any destination available on the included navigation map.
The IGO primo software uses Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, and a digital roadway map database to calculate and display travel directions. The system’s GPS antenna receives signals from a constellation of 24 satellites orbiting the earth and uses the strongest signals to determine your position to within meters.
Vehicle Position
The IGO primo software’s computer considers vehicle speed and heading changes, together with longitude and latitude information, to accurately determine vehicle heading and position on a digital map.
Signals from GPS satellites are used to determine the vehicle location. Three (good) or four (best) satellites must be received to accurately determine location. The GPS reception status is indicated by the GPS symbol on the map.
Map and Information Database
The map database used by your IGO primo software was created using high-resolution aerial and land based data collection.
Car navigation maps are frequently updated. While the database was judged to be as accurate as possible at the time of its release, a map database can never be 100% accurate. Road information that is maintained in the map databases, such as turn restrictions or road names may change over time.

Introduction
INTRODUCTION
We hope that you enjoy using your new navigation system. This manual is designed to help you get the most out of your system.
This navigation system leads you straight to your destination. You can navigate and plan your route with an easy-to-use and intuitive interface, plan your trip to suit your personal preferences and interests, and find and save (bookmark) interesting destinations before you begin your trip.
About GPS and GNSS
The unit uses a vehicle Global Positioning System (GPS)-based navigation device which uses digital map data to guide you from your selected location A to location B, using location information obtained from a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).
A GNSS consists of a set of satellites that transmit high-frequency radio signals containing time, direction, and distance data that can be picked up by a receiver, allowing users to pinpoint their precise locations anywhere around the globe. Navigation Satellite Receivers (GPS devices) use this transmitted information to calculate an exact location on the Earth. Every point on Earth can be identified by latitude and longitude. The receiver uses the information sent by at least three satellites and determines the coordinates of the receiving device.
By comparing the time the signals were transmitted from the satellites and the time they were recorded, the receiver calculates how far away each satellite is. The distance of the receiver from three or more satellites reflects its position on the surface of the planet. Using these distance measurements, the receiver
might also be able to calculate speed, bearing, trip time, distance to destination, altitude, etc. The GPS position may be displayed as a point on a digital map (at least three satellites’ signals must be received) and as the GPS device moves the corresponding trace is displayed as well.
Please keep in mind that although the radio signals of navigation satellites will pass through clouds, glass, plastic, and other lightweight materials, satellitenavigation receivers will not work underground or in some enclosed spaces.
13
Acquiring a Satellite Signal
The initial GPS location lock is best established when your vehicle is parked. If the device is in motion, the signal can take longer to initially connect. Once the initial coordinates are established, the software will follow you as you move and navigate.
Drive your vehicle to an open area where the GPS signal can be clearly received and park the vehicle. If the device is in motion, the signal can take longer to initially connect.
If you cannot acquire the signal, drive to another location. If the signal is still unobtainable, check your antenna installation.
Once a GPS signal has been established, verify that the information display clock time (time displayed on the radio) matches the navigation system clock. With an established GPS signal, the software will follow you as you move and navigate.
The GPS reception quality icon shows the current accuracy of the position information.

MAP SCREEN
The Map screen is the most frequently used screen of iGO primo.
Navigating On the Map
A small live map is displayed on the startup screen, the Navigation Menu, as a part of the button.
To enlarge this small map and open the Map screen, tap .
This map shows the current position (the Vehimarker, a red arrow by default), the recommended route (an orange line), and the surrounding map area.
When there is no GPS position, the Vehimarker is transparent. It shows your last known position.
You see colored dots circling around a satellite symbol in the top left corner. The more green dots you see, the closer you are to get the valid GPS position.
23
When GPS position is available, the Vehimarker is displayed in full color, now showing your current position.
There are screen buttons and data fields on the screen to help you navigate. During navigation, the screen shows route information.
By default, only one data field is displayed in the bottom right corner. Tap this field to see all route data fields.
Tap any of the data fields to suppress others and display only the selected one. The data fields are different when you are navigating an active route and when you have no specified destination (the orange line is not displayed).
24
Getting Started
Default data fields when cruising without a destination (tap and hold any of the fields to change its value):
Field Description
Shows your current speed given by the GPS receiver.
Shows the speed limit of the current road if the map contains it.
Shows the current time corrected with time zone offset. The accurate time comes from the GPS satellites, and the time zone information comes from the map or it can be set manually in Regional settings. (The current time is always displayed in the top left corner of menu screens.)
Default data fields when navigating a route (tap and hold any of the fields to change its value):
Field Description
Shows the distance you need to travel on the route before reaching your final destination.
Shows the time needed to reach the final destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route. Historical traffic data or traffic patterns are also taken into account whenever such information exists..
Shows the estimated arrival time at the final destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route. Historical traffic data or traffic patterns are also taken into account whenever such infromation exists.

Position Markers
Vehimarker and Lock-on-Road
When your GPS position is available, iGO primo marks your current position with the Vehimarker. By default, this marker is a red arrow, but you can change this icon in Settings.
The exact location of the Vehimarker depends on the vehicle type used for route calculation. The vehicle type can be selected in Route settings.
•If you choose pedestrian: The Vehimarker is at your exact GPS position. The direction of the icon shows your current heading.
•If you choose any of the vehicles: The Vehimarker may not show your exact GPS position and heading. If roads are near, it is aligned to the nearest road to suppress GPS position errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of the road.
Selected Map Location (Cursor) and Selected Map Object
You can mark a map location in the following ways:
•Tap the map when navigating,
•Tap the map when you are asked to confirm the destination at the end of a search, or
•Tap the map in Find on Map.
When a map location is selected, the Cursor appears at the selected point on the map.
The Cursor is displayed with a radiating red dot ( ) to make it visible at all zoom levels.
The location of the Cursor can be used as the destination of the route, a new alert point, you can search for Places around it, or you can save this location as one of your Favorite destinations.
You can also select some of the objects on the map. If you tap the map at the icon of a Place of Interest or an alert point, the object will be selected (you see a red circling border around the object), and you can get information about this object or use it as a route point.

Objects On the Map
Streets and Roads
iGO primo shows the streets in a way that is similar to how the paper road maps show them. Their width and colors correspond to their importance: you can easily tell a freeway from a small street.
Turn Preview and Next Street
When navigating a route, the top section of the Map screen shows information about the next route event (maneuver) and the next street or the next city/town.
There is a field in the top left corner that displays the next maneuver. Both the type of the event (turn, traffic circle, exiting freeway, etc.) and its distance from the current position are displayed.
A smaller icon shows the type of the second next maneuver if it is near the first one. Otherwise, only the next maneuver is displayed.
27
Most of these icons are very intuitive. The following table lists some of the frequently shown route events. The same symbols are used in both fields:

Lane Information and Signposts
When navigating on multilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the recommended route. If lane information is available in the map data, iGO primo displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lanes you need to take. Where additional information is available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are displayed at the top of the map. The color and style of the signposts are similar to the real ones you can see above road or by the roadside. They show the available destinations and the number of the road the lane leads to.
All signposts look similar when cruising (when there is no recommended route). When navigating a route, only the signpost that points to the lane(s) to be taken is displayed in vivid colors; all others are darker.
29
Junction View
If you are approaching a freeway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. The lanes you need to take are displayed with arrows. Signposts can also be present if information is available.
3D Object Types
iGO primo supports the following 3D object types:
Type |
Description |
3D terrain |
3D terrain map data shows changes in terrain, elevations or |
|
depressions in the land when you view the map in 2D, and |
|
use it to plot the route map in 3D when you navigate. Hills |
|
and mountains are shown in the background of the 3D map, |
|
and illustrated by color and shading on the 2D map. |
Elevated roads |
Complex intersections and vertically isolated roads (such as |
|
overpasses or bridges) are displayed in 3D. |
3D landmarks |
Landmarks are 3D artistic or block representations of |
|
prominent or well-known objects. |
