Safety

The Global Positioning System

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based system that provides location and timing information around the globe. GPS is operated and controlled under the sole responsibility of the Government of the United States of America, who are responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in environmental conditions, may impact the operation of your Binatone Carrera Personal Navigation Device (PND).

Using Your PND in the Car

When using your PND while driving it is essential that you drive with due care and attention. Never modify the settings or program your PND while driving. Only look at the PND map when it is safe to do so. Only follow the PND instructions when the road regulations allow you to do so. When mounting the PND in your car make sure that it does not obscure your view or impede the operation of any driving controls.

Prohibited Areas

Do not operate your PND in hospitals or near any electrical medical equipment. Do not operate your PND in aircraft.

Battery

Your PND uses a Li-ion battery. Do not use it in humid, wet or corrosive environments. Do not operate or store your PND in high temperatures (>60℃) or in direct sun light. Do not pierce or break the battery casing.

The Li-ion battery contained in this unit must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of in household waste or burn.

Failure to follow these cautions will invalidate the warranty and may cause the battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite and cause injury or damage. If you come into contact with leaked battery acid wash the contact area thoroughly and seek medical attention.

Explanation of map display contents and features

No. 1 - Turn preview

On the Cockpit screen this field shows a graphic illustration of the next manoeuvre. For example when you approach a turn, an arrow will show whether it is a slight, normal or sharp turn. When showing a roundabout, the number of the exit is also given in the picture.

This field also serves as a button. Tap it to get to the Route menu. The Map screen will show a button called Route here if there is an active route. This also leads to the Route menu.

No. 2 & 3 - Zoom in and out

These semi-transparent buttons are only displayed if "Zoom & Tilt" is enabled in the Quick menu. Zoom will change the scale of the map. Zoom out shows a larger part of the map, while Zoom in shows a smaller part of the map in more detail.

The automatic Smart Zoom function will do the necessary zooming for you when navigating (zooms out if the next turn is at a distance to let you see far ahead and zooms in when approaching a turn to give you a better view of the upcoming manoeuvre). If you manually change the zoom level, Smart Zoom will no longer scale the map by itself (automatic tilting and rotating remains active). Tap the Follow button to return the zoom control to Smart Zoom. You can also set Binatone Carrera to do this automatically after a few seconds in case of the Cockpit screen.

No. 4 & 5 - Tilt up and down

These semi-transparent buttons are only displayed if "Zoom & Tilt" is enabled in the Quick menu. This function modifies the vertical viewing angle of the map in 3D mode. You can change the angle in a wide range starting from a top down view (2D view is seamlessly integrated) all the way to a flat view that lets you see far ahead.

The automatic Smart Zoom function will do the necessary tilting for you when navigating (gives a flat view if the next turn is at a distance to let you see far ahead and raises the angle when approaching a turn to give you a better view of the upcoming manoeuvre). If you manually change the view angle, Smart Zoom will no longer tilt the map by itself (automatic zooming and rotating remains active). Tap the Follow button to return the tilt control to Smart Zoom. You can also set Binatone Carrera to do this automatically after a few seconds.

No. 6 - Follow mode - lock to GPS position and heading

This semi-transparent icon is displayed if GPS position is available, and the map has been moved or rotated. It also appears when you scale or tilt the map while Smart Zoom is enabled.

MAIN ELEMENTS

Normally Binatone Carrera positions the map to keep the GPS position visible somewhere on the map (when North-up orientation is selected), or always at Track-up orientation is selected). If you manually move the map, it will freeze the map in the new position. To return to the GPS position, use this Follow button. Rotating the map in any direction will only freeze the orientation of the map, but it keeps on moving to keep the GPS position visible. Use Follow to return to North-up or Track-up orientation (the one previously selected). When Smart Zoom is enabled, scaling or tilting the map also stops the automatic zooming or automatic tilting respectively. To reactivate Smart Zoom, tap this button. Tip: In Advanced settings you can set a delay time after which Binatone Carrera pushes the Follow button for you on the Cockpit screen automatically. This can be turned on for re-enabling both Lock-to-Position and Smart Zoom.

No. 7 - Cursor

As described earlier, if you tap the map somewhere or select one specific item in Find, it will become the selected point on the map, marked with a small red dot and radiating red circles to make it conspicuous. You can use this point as starting point, via point or destination for your route, you can search for a POI near it, mark it with a pin, or save it as a POI. Note: When GPS position is available, the Follow button will appear indicating that you have disabled Lock-to-Position. Tapping the Follow button will re-enable the position lock and move the cursor back to the current GPS position. The same happens when Binatone Carrera restores Lock-to

No. 8 - Map scale

The scale indicator is only available on the Map screen. In 2D map view it represents the scale of the map. In 3D view it is the scale of the nearest part of the map only.

You can use it in both 2D and 3D modes to scale the map. Drag and pull it right to zoom in, or left to zoom out.

No. 9 - Menu

This button opens the Menu with the Find engine, the Quick menu, the Route menu and the exit button that takes you to the Main menu screen.

No. 10 - Map orientation and Overview

You can view the map screens in three different presentation modes. This switch will cycle through them in the following order.

: Tap this icon to switch to North-up mode. Now the map is fixed to keep facing North. The icon changes to show the new rotation mode. Tap the icon again to enter Overview mode. This mode looks similar to the North-up mode with one difference: the zoom level in this mode has a fixed default to give you a better look of where you are on the map. You can change the zoom level at any time, this will not cause the Follow button to appear, but when entering Overview mode later, the default zoom level will be restored. The arrow representing your position will be fixed in the middle of the screen. When you move the map in Overview mode, the Follow button will appear, and when pushed, it will move the map to have your current position in the middle of the map again. You cannot rotate the map in Overview mode. This mode is strictly north-up. You can set up Binatone Carrera so that it will switch to Overview mode during navigation when the next turn is far away. You can specify this distance and the fix

No. 11 - GPS position quality

Similarly to the icon found on the GPS Data screen (Page 34), the map screens also inform you about the GPS signal:

: The black satellite dish with the red exclamation mark shows there is no connection with the GPS receiver. GPS navigation is not possible. Devices with a built-in GPS receiver are permanently connected, so this icon may not appear under normal circumstances.

: Red shows there is a connection, but the signal is too weak to give a position. GPS navigation is not possible.

: Black shows there is a GPS position, and navigation is possible. When only one arc is shown, the position is 2D (no altitude available), and position error may be significant, yet Binatone Carrera is

: A black dish and two arcs represent a 3D GPS position. Binatone Carrera is ready to navigate.

: When small car symbols are displayed under the dish, TMC information is available.

No. 12 - Battery status

The status of the battery is also shown by Binatone Carrera. You can estimate the available power reserve from the length of the bar inside. Some examples:

: The thunderbolt in the battery shows the battery is being charged.

: Battery is not charging, but it is at full capacity.

: Battery in not full, but there is sufficient reserve capacity.

MAIN ELEMENTS

: When the inside of the battery turns red, the battery needs recharging. Note: Binatone Carrera cannot display the battery status of the GPS device unless it is built into the PDA and uses the same battery.

No. 13 - Sound muting

By tapping this button you can quickly mute all sounds of the unit. This will not modify the volume level and the enabled or disabled status of the voice guidance or the key sounds, just mutes the

sound output. When muting is enabled, the speaker icon is crossed out

Tap again to re-enable sounds Note: Sound can be muted in Sound settings, too. There you have a Master switch that works together with the switch described above. There is also a Master slider on that screen. That you can use to fully turn down the volume of the device. Setting the volume low is different from muting, therefore it will not show up on the mute indicator.

No. 14 - Track Log recording/playback indicator

When a track log is being recorded, a red icon is displayed on the map screens. This icon also functions as a button leading to the Track Log screen where you can stop the recording or make

the track log visible on the map During track log playback a green icon will blink. Tapping this icon (in fact, tapping the screen

anywhere) stops the simulation

No. 15 - Cursor menu

The Cursor is the selected point on the map (marked by a red dot and radiating red circles around it), or the current GPS position when it is available and Lock-to-Position is enabled. When you tap the screen to place the Cursor, the Cursor menu pops up automatically to give you the list of possible functions you can use the Cursor for. At the same time Popup Info (street name, house number and the list of POIs nearby) appears near the selected map point if Popup Info is enabled in the Quick menu. If you do not use the Cursor menu in a few seconds, it will automatically vanish back to the bottom of the screen, and Popup Info disappears, too. You can have them reappear by reopening the Cursor menu using the arrow in the bottom right corner. When you open the menu manually, it will stay on until you close it or switch to another screen. Tip: If you want to see the map around the Cursor, close the Cursor menu and reopen it. When this menu is opened manually, the map is always moved to have the cursor in the centre. The content of the Cursor menu depends on the screen (Map or Cockpit) and it is slightly different if there is an active route already planned. You have the following options:

• Start: use the Cursor as the departure point for your route. This menu point is available only in

Map mode and when there is no active route. In Cockpit mode the departure point of the route is always the GPS position or if it is not available, the last known GPS position.

• Route To: use the Cursor as the destination of your route. This button is to start a new route. The

previous route (if it exists) will be deleted and replaced. If a multi-point route is active, Binatone Carrera

MAIN ELEMENTS

You can also add a new road safety camera if you tap Add Cam, and set the parameters (type, direction, and speed). If a camera already exists near the cursor, this button is inactive, and you can change the parameters of the camera by tapping it in the list.

No. 16 - Current street

This field of the Cockpit screen shows the name or number (as available) of the current street or road you are driving on.

Tip: Some roads have an alternative name (or number). This is normally shown together with the primary name in this field. You can hide these alternative names in Map settings.

No. 17 - Travel and Route data

The contents of these three fields are different when cruising (without an active route) or navigating (following an active route). While cruising, the fields show the present speed, the current speed limit and the time of day. While navigating a route, these fields show the estimated time needed to reach the destination (ETE), the distance to destination, and the estimated arrival time at the destination (ETA) by default. You can choose what to display in these three fields during navigation, by going to Advanced settings / Display Options (Page 86). See the following list for your options. The only restriction is that you cannot select a value that already appears in another field. The possible field contents are:

• Distance to destination (default value for the left field)

• Time to destination (estimated time en route, default value for the middle field)

• Distance to next via point

• Time to next via point

MAIN ELEMENTS

Route

Here you can choose from three different route types.

• Short: Choosing Short will result in a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible

routes between the given points. This is usually preferred by pedestrians, cyclists or slow vehicles.

• Fast: Choosing Fast will result in the quickest possible route, given that you can travel at or near

the speed limits on all included roads. This is usually preferred for fast and normal cars.

• Economical: This setting is a wise combination of the previous two. Although basically going for

the fastest solution, if there is another route taking a bit more time but a lot less distance compared to the fastest one, Binatone Carrera will choose this one instead to save fuel.

Vehicle

You can set the type of the vehicle that you will use to navigate the route. Based upon this setting, some of the road types will be excluded from the route (e.g. motorways for pedestrians), or some of the restrictions may not be taken into account (e.g. emergency vehicles have no restrictions). Furthermore, when Bus or Lorry is chosen, the program assumes that high speeds cannot be achieved, and this information is taken into account when calculating the route, the estimated time enroute (ETE), and the estimated time of arrival (ETA). Available values:

‧ Car ‧ Taxi ‧ Bus ‧ Lorry ‧ Emergency ‧ Pedestrian ‧ Bicycle

Road types to include/exclude To let the route fit your needs you can also set which road types are to be considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible.

Note: Excluding a road type is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some of the excluded road types, binatone carrera will use them but only as much as necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on the Route Information screen, and the road not matching your preference will be displayed in alternate colour on the map.

Unpaved Roads: Unpaved roads are excluded by default, as they can be in a bad condition and you usually cannot reach the speed limit on them.

Motorways: When driving a slow car or towing another vehicle, you may prefer not to take motorways.

Ferries: The accessibility of temporary ferries is not necessarily included in the map data. Furthermore you may need to pay fare, so you may consider disabling them from the preset enabled status.

MAIN ELEMENTS

U-turns: Although displayed amongst road types, this is a type of action. Most drivers prefer to replace them with a few normal left and/or right turns in the next few junctions, so it is disabled by default. Turning back on dual carriageways is not considered as a u-turn.

Note: If you are not totally against u-turns, leave them on here, and add a certain penalty (equivalent extra distance to travel) in Advanced settings Route options. Note: Via points are handled as stopovers with regards to u-turns. It means disabling u-turns on this page will avoid u-turns during the entire route if possible, but when reaching a via point, the following part of the route may be planned starting in the opposite direction.

Permit needed: To use some roads or enter some areas you may need special permit or permission from the owners. These roads are excluded from your routes by default. Use this switch if your vehicle is authorised to enter.

Toll Roads: Toll roads are included in your routes by default. If you wish to travel more to avoid paying a toll, disabling them will make Note: You have a few more ways to influence routing and route recalculation in Advanced settings Route options.

Advanced settings

These screens let you set a large number of different advanced settings and initiate some special functions. These settings and functions are divided into groups.

Tap on any button to set the corresponding parameters. They all open new windows where you can make your desired changes.

Display options

These settings determine how Binatone Carrera displays different content elements or how it presents the screens.

2D in Map mode (and North-up orientation) The normal use of the Map mode is to browse the map and look for different places on it. It is usually done in a top down view having north towards the top of the map. By default Binatone Carrera uses the same look for the map in both Map and Cockpit modes.

MAIN ELEMENTS

Use this switch to instruct Binatone Carrera to always open the Map mode in 2D with North-up orientation for map browsing purposes.

Note: You will still have the possibility to rotate and tilt the map, but the map will return to 2D mode whenever Map mode is started.

3D in Cockpit mode (and track-up orientation) The normal use of the Cockpit mode is cruising or navigating, when the road lying in front of the driver is the most important part of the map. It is usually done in a 3D view with the current direction towards the top of the map. By default Binatone Carrera uses the same look of the map in both Map and Cockpit modes. Use this switch to instruct Binatone Carrera to always open the Cockpit mode in 3D with Track-up orientation (automatic map rotation)

Note: You will still have the possibility to switch the map to 2D view or north-up orientation, but the map will return to 3D mode with map rotation whenever Cockpit mode is started.

Zoom in after find When this switch is turned off, Binatone Carrera will centre the map to the location selected in Find but will not change the zoom level. If you turn this switch on, Binatone Carrera will also zoom in to the selected point. The zoom level in this case depends on the type of the case of a city search, the zoom level will show you the whole settlement or at least a significant part of it around its centre. Selecting a POI, a junction or an exact address will give you a closer look with only a few streets on the display.

Coordinate display format Positions are sometimes displayed with their addresses, and sometimes with their coordinates. This setting lets you choose between displaying coordinates in degrees (dd.dddddd); degrees and minutes (dd mm.mmm); or degrees, minutes and seconds (dd mm ss.s). Note: the coordinate display mode is independent from the coordinate input in Find menu. You can use all three formats freely on the coordinate input screen.

Cockpit screen layout There are three route data fields at the bottom of the portrait Cockpit screen, or on the left of the landscape Cockpit screen. Their content is fixed in Cruise mode (when there is no active route), but for Navigation mode you can change their content on this screen.

Brightness You can set the backlight level separately for both daylight and night modes, thus enhancing the effect of the night colour scheme. The values are between 0 and 10, where zero means there is no backlight at all, and 10 represents the maximum backlight value.

Smart Zoom

Smart zoom is a lot more than just a usual automatic zoom. While navigating a route: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view angle to let you easily recognise your manoeuvre at the next junction. If the next turn is at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to be flat in order to let you see the road in front of you, or it can even switch to an Overview mode to let you follow your position on the map. While cruising: if there is no active route and you are just driving, Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly and zoom out to the limit set here when you drive at high speed. These automatic features can be set up on this screen.

Enable Overview mode You can configure how the Overview mode is triggered when the next turn is at a distance. The Route event distance will determine when Binatone Carrera switches to the Overview or back to the Navigation view. The Overview zoom level will determine the fixed zoom level of the map in both automatic and manually selected (by the Map orientation icon) Overview modes. You can change the zoom level manually at any time (the Follow button will not be displayed), but when you enter the Overview mode again, the zoom level will be reset to this value. You can also move the map in Overview mode. Then the Follow button will appear, and when pushed, it will move the map to have your current position in the middle again. On the other hand you are not allowed to rotate the map in Overview mode. This mode is a strictly north-up orientated mode.

Note: when this automatic feature is disabled, you can still enable the Overview mode manually.

Restore Lock-to-Position and Smart Zoom As described at the hardware buttons and the map screen functions, you can move, rotate, tilt and zoom the map during navigation. In these cases a Lock icon (Page 39) appears on the screen. As already mentioned, you can move, tilt and zoom the map during navigation. In these cases a Lock icon appears on the screen. When you rotate, tilt or zoom the map, that part of Smart Zoom is automatically deactivated. The map will still follow your position, but will not change the view parameter you have modified. You can return to the full Smart Zoom mode by tapping the Follow button. If you move the map, all parts of Smart Zoom become deactivated, and the view freezes. Tapping the Follow button makes Binatone Carrera follow your position again (Lock-to-Position) and also re-enables Smart Zoom. You can make Binatone Carrera push the Follow button for you automatically after a few seconds of inactivity. This functionality and the related parameters below apply to the Cockpit screen only. The Map screen will wait for your action.

Restore Lock-to-Position Turn this switch on if you want Binatone Carrera to return to your current GPS position after you have moved the map during navigation. This is useful if you have moved it to quickly check something near your route. After a certain timeout set below, the Follow button disappears, and the map immediately jumps back to show your current position.

Restore Smart Zoom Use this switch if you want Binatone Carrera to re-enable Smart Zoom after zooming, tilting or rotating the map during navigation. This is useful if you have c quickly check something near your route. After a certain timeout set below, the Follow button disappears, then Smart Zoom changes the view back for navigation. Unlike with Restore Lock-to-Position, the view changes smoothly. Note: Smart Zoom can only be re-enabled when it is activated at the top of this page. With Smart

Delay before restoring You can set the timeout for both Restore Lock-to-Position and Restore Smart Zoom here. Shorter delays are best if you tend to accidentally change the map display, but you may prefer a longer delay if you often look for things around your position while driving. Remember to only look at the display if it is absolutely safe to do so. Note: If you push the Follow button before the automatic Lock comes into effect, Smart Zoom and Lock-to-Position will be re-enabled instantly.

Route options

You can set the basic route parameters on the Route Parameters settings screen described. On this screen you have some more ways to influence route planning and route recalculation.

Off-route sensitivity and Recalculation delay Depending on the quality of your GPS device, the GPS antenna location in the car and the environment you are driving in, route recalculation can behave differently. Binatone Carrera may think you have departed the proposed route and perform a reca When the GPS reception is poor (e.g. driving in an urban environment with a low sensitivity GPS), occasional wandering (called position fluctuation) of the calculated GPS position is likely. Although Binatone Carrera employs a sophisticated Lockerrors by aligning your position to the recommended rout the errors are too large to correct. To reduce the effect of large errors, you can increase the recalculation tolerance two ways.

Off-route sensitivity This is a range of relative values from 0 to 10, telling Binatone Carrera how far the GPS position should be from the recommended route before the program decides Carrera insensitive to position errors; higher va

Recalculation delay This is a setting that helps suppress the effects of position fluctuation. With a few seconds delay in recalculation even large position jumps can be survived without a need for route recalculation.

Note: By turning off Lock-on-Road you also turn off the GPS position error filtering. The position shown on the map will be subject to all position errors and position fluctuations.

User data management

Everything that was saved (pins, My POIs, Favourites, track logs etc.) or modified (Settings, History lists) since Binatone Carrera was installed is stored in a user database located in the internal memory of the Pocket PC. Here you have options to save, restore or reset the database or parts of it.

Recalculate

This function repeats the route calculation based on the same settings as before. This option is to be used when the automatic Off-route recalculation has been disabled. You can use this function while driving parallel to a suggested route. In this case it can take a while for the program to recalculate, so you can have it recalculate the route manually.

Bypass Whenever you encounter a traffic jam or a closed road you can have the program recalculate a route to circumnavigate this situation as quickly as possible.

However, you must specify a minimum distance after which you want to re-join the original route. Choose a distance that is suitable for the present traffic problem.

MAIN ELEMENTS

Good to Know This function has been designed to offer an alternate route for the next route segment. To modify route segments later on or to avoid certain roads or junctions, use the function Avoid from the Itinerary menu. When using this function, the program will avoid this section of the map until you delete the route manually or restart the navigation device.

The different route event lists differ by the number of events they contain. The different list items always appear with all available information, i.e. with icons of the required manoeuvres as well as the distance to the route event.

 The itinerary description is updated

continuously while navigating. The list item you are currently navigating on will be the

highlighted one until you tap on a different

restrictions.

MAIN ELEMENTS

Detailed Instructions

This list will appear when you open the Itinerary. It is a detailed event list.

Instructions

When tapping the Mode button once, a list of events will open that requires greater attention on your part, e.g. a list of manoeuvres along the route. These events will appear in the manoeuvre preview and will be announced along with audible events.

Route Summary

Tap on Mode once again to obtain a route summary that lists only the major roads and road junctions.

Avoid

You can avoid a list item (for instance a motorway segment that is prone to traffic jams or a difficult road junction). Simply tap the desired item on the route list. The following options are available:

MAIN ELEMENTS

Show

When enabling a route segment and tapping on Show…

... …the route segment will appear immediately in Cockpit view.

Manoeuvre:

The Manoeuvre option avoids the marked place. For instance, if you feel a turn will be too difficult during rush hour traffic, the program will recalculate your route without that turn.

Road:

If you exclude a specific road, MyGuide recalculates the route without this road. This function is very useful for going around traffic jams or when you have heard a traffic message broadcast announcing that the road has been closed.

Distances:

The list also contains several distance buttons. Their function is similar to those in the list contained under the menu Recalculate => Bypass, but here you can use them for distant route segments. In our example a 30km-long motorway segment will be replaced by a national road via Road => 30 km.

MAIN ELEMENTS

Edit

Tap Edit to show all routes. You can edit the list in the following way:

Add:

This allows you to add a new route.

Delete:

This allows you to delete the selected route. Warning: the program will delete it without prompting you.

Optimise:

This will optimise the waypoint order. Up and Down: these buttons allow you to sort the list by moving the selected item up or down.

In our example a new route is added. After tapping the Add button the Find menu will appear, allowing you to define a new route.

MAIN ELEMENTS

Delete

Tap on Delete to permanently erase the active route including all points (starting points, waypoints and destination). The program will prompt you prior to deleting. The function has a special role when you have been using the option Avoid. Once you have reached your destination the route line will disappear from the map and the navigation is cancelled. At this point, the route is erased: however, when planning a new route, all roads, manoeuvres and places that you had avoided in the previous route will also be avoided. Therefore, tap Clear to erase the previous route with all restrictions.

MAIN ELEMENTS
