The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS
receiver. Mappy PND does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.
If you accept it when first using the app lication, Mappy PND collec ts usage inform ation and
GPS logs that may be used for improving the application and the quality and coverage of
maps. The data is processed anonymously; no one will be able to track any personal
information. If you change your mind later, you can enable or disable the log collection in
Settings (page 100).
It is important that you l ook at the displa y onl y when it is saf e to do s o. If you are t he driv er of
the vehicle, we recomm end that you opera te Mappy PND before you start your journe y. Plan
the route before your departure and stop if you need to change the route.
You must obey the traffic signs and follow the road geometry. If you deviate from the
recommended route, Mappy PND changes the instructions accordingly.
Never place Mapp y PND where it obstr ucts the driver's view, where it is in the deployment
zone of an airbag or where it might cause injuries in an accident.
For more information, consult the End User Licence Agreement (page 103).

2.3 Map screen
2.3.1 Navigating on the map
The Map screen is the most frequently used screen of Mappy PND.
A small live map is dis played on the Navigation m enu, 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 blue 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 coloured 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.

2.3.2 Position markers
2.3.2.1 Vehimarker and Lock-on-Road
When your GPS position is available, Mappy PND marks your current position with the
Vehimarker. By default, this marker is a blue arrow, but you can change this icon in Settings.
The exact location of the Vehimark er depends on the vehicle type used f or route calculat ion
and the navigation mode. Both can be set in Route settings (page 91).
• If you choose pedestrian and/or off-road navigation: The Vehimarker is at your exact
GPS position. The direction of the icon shows your current heading.
• In all other cases: 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.
2.3.2.2 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 (page 55)
When a map location is selected, t he Cursor appears at the selected poi nt on the map. The
Cursor is displayed with a radiating red dot (
The location of the Cursor can be used as the dest ination of the route, a n ew alert point , you
can search for Places around it, or you can save this location as one of your Favourite
destinations.
You can also select som e of the objec ts on th e m ap. If you tap the m ap at the ic on of a Place
of Interest or an a lert point, the obj ect will be selecte d (you see a red c ircling border aro und

2.3.3.1 Streets and roads
Mappy PND shows the streets in a way that is similar to how the paper road m aps show
them. Their width and colours c orrespond to th eir importance: you can easi ly tell a m otorway
from a small street.
2.3.3.2 Turn preview and Next street
When navigating a r oute, the t op sec tion of the Map s cr een sho ws infor m ation about the nex t
route event (manoeuvre) and the next street or the next city/town.
There is a field in the top left corner that displays the next manoeuvre. Both the type of the
event (turn, roundabout, exiting m otorway, etc.) and its distance from the current position are
displayed.
A smaller icon shows the type of the second next manoeuvre if it is near the first one.
Otherwise, only the next manoeuvre is displayed.
Most of these icons are very intuitive. The following t able lists some of the frequently sho wn
route events. The same symbols are used in both fields:

2.3.3.3 Lane information and Signposts
When navigating on m ultilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to
follow the recomm ended route. If lane information is availab le in the map data, Mappy PND
displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map.
Highlighted arrows represent the lanes and direction you need to take.
Where additional information is available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are
displayed at the top of the m ap. The colour and style of the signposts are sim ilar to the real
ones you can see abo ve road or by the roads ide. They show the av ailable destinations an d
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, onl y the signpos t that points to t he lan e(s) to be t ak en is dis pla yed in vi vid
colours; all others are darker.
If you want to hide the currentl y displayed signpos ts, tap any of them and the normal Map
screen returns until new signpost information is received.

2.3.3.4 Junction view
If you are approaching a m otorwa y exit or a com plex inters ection and the n eeded information
exists, the map is repl aced with a 3D view of the junction. T he lanes you need to take are
displayed with arrows. At the top of the screen road signs show you additional information.
If you want to hide the currently displayed junction, tap the picture and the Map screen
returns.
2.3.3.5 Motorway exit services
You may need a petrol station or a restaurant during your journe y. This feature displays a
new button on the map when you are driving on motorways.
Tap this button to open a panel with the details of the next few exits or service stations.
Tap any of them to display the ex it area on the map. You can now easily add this ex it as a
waypoint to your route if needed.
If you want to display other t ypes of Places for the exits, you can chan ge the icons in Visual

3 On-road navigation
When first started, Mapp y PND calculates routes using the road ne twork of the high quality
vector maps provided with the product.
You can set up your route in different ways:
• If you need a route for immediate navigation, you can select the destination and start
navigating to it right away (normal navigation).
• You can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position or even without
GPS reception. To achieve this you need to set a new starting point in My Route / Edit
Route by tapping the flag icon at the current position. This will also turn off the GPS
receiver so that the route is not recalculated when a new position is received.
You can plan routes with multiple destinations. Select the first destination. Then select a
second destination and add it to your route to create a multi-point route. You can add as
many destinations to your route as you lik e.
You can also use Mappy PND for off-road navigation. For details, see page 76.
3.1 Selecting the destination of a route
Mappy PND offers you several ways of choos ing your dest inati on:
• Enter a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a house
number or the names of two intersecting streets (page 35).
• Enter an address with postal code (page 42). This way you do not need to select the
name of the city/town and the search for street names might be faster as well.
• Use a built-in Place of Interest as your destination (page 44).
• Select a location on the map with the Find on Map feature (page 55).
• Use a previously saved Favourite destination (page 56).
• Select a location from the History of previously used destinations (page 58).
• Enter the coordinate of the destination (page 59).
3.1.1 Combined Search
There are several ways to select the destination of the route. You can find buttons in the
Destination menu that initi ate a separate search for addresses, Places, Fav ourite or recent
destinations. The f astest way to search for any of th ese is to use the Combined Search. In
this section you can find the full description of how this feature works. The below process
shows how to carr y out the searc h and the following subsections wil l help you find specific
kinds of results.

3.1.2.6 Tips on entering addresses quickly
• When you are entering the name of a city/town or a street:

contain the specified letters.
• You can speed up finding an intersection:
• Search first for the street with a less common or less usual name; fewer letters
are enough to find it.
• If one of the streets is shorter, search for that one first. You can then find the
second one faster.
• You can search for both the type and the name of a road. If the same word appears in
several names, for example in the name of streets, roads and avenues, you can obtain
the result faster if you enter the first letter of the street type: For example, enter 'PI A' to
obtain Pine Avenue and skip all Pine Streets and Pickwick Roads.
• You can also search in postal codes. As postal codes consist of only a few characters,
this is usually faster than entering the name of the city/town.

4.1 Selecting the destination of the route
Selecting the start point or a destination (waypoint or final destination) is the same as
described at on-road na vigation. The only difference is that route points are linked to form a
route with straight lines regardless of the road network and traffic regulations.
4.2 Navigating in off-road mode
The real difference between the on-road and off-road modes is the navigation itself. W hen
you are on the Map screen with an off-road route:
• your position and heading is not aligned with the nearest road and
• there is no turn by turn navigation just a recommended direction.
You see a orange line dr awn bet wee n your c urrent pos ition and t he n ext desti nation to reach .
The Turn Preview field in the top left corner shows a compass with your bearing and the
distance of the next destination.
When you reach a waypoint, the orange line will show the direction to t he next destination.
(Future legs of the route are shown with orange lines.)
When you reach the final destination, navigation ends.

5 Reference Guide
On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu
screens of Mappy PND.
5.1 Concepts
5.1.1 Smart Zoom
Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:
•While following 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 so you can see the
road in front of you.
•While driving without an active route: Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly
and zoom out when you drive at high speed.
5.1.2 Daytime and night colour themes
Mappy PND uses different colour themes during the day and during the night for both the map
and the menu screens.
• Daytime colours are similar to paper road maps, and the menus are bright.
• The night colour themes use dark colours for large objects to keep the average
brightness of the screen low.
Mappy PND offer s differ ent daytim e and night colour profiles. It can also s witch autom aticall y
between the daytim e and the night schemes based on the current time and G PS position a
few minutes before su nrise, when the s ky has alread y turned bright, and a few minutes af ter
sunset, before it becomes dark.
5.1.3 Tunnel view
The top-down overvie w of the tunnel helps you orien tate yourself. The r emaining distance in
the tunnel is also displayed.
After leaving the tunnel, the original map view returns.
This feature can be turned off in Settings (page 97).
77
5.1.4 Route calculation and recalculation
Mappy PND calculates the route based on your preferences:
• Route planning methods:
•
: Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed
limit on all roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars.
•
: Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all
possible routes. It can be practical for slow vehicles.
•
: Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel
consumption data given in Route settings (page 91). Travel cost and CO
emission calculations are estimations only. They cannot take elevations, curves
and traffic conditions into account.
•
: For vehicle types where Green routing is not available, this
method combines the benefits of Fast and Short: Mappy PND calculates as if it
were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads as well to save fuel.
•
: Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult
manoeuvres. With this option, you can make Mappy PND to take, for example,
the motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.
• Vehicle types:
When creating a new veh icl e pr of ile, se lec t on e of the bel o w vehicle types. Besides the
below mentioned conditio ns , dim ension, weight an d f reight hazard r estric tions c an also
be taken into account when planning a route.

Whenever data exist, route calculation t akes into account statist ical traffic data for the given
day of week and time of day (page 84).
Real-time Traffic events are also taken into account and sometimes greatly modify the route.
Mappy PND autom atically recalcul ates the route if you deviate from the proposed itiner ary or
if a newly received Traffic event concerns a part of the recommended route.
For further information about Route settings, see page 91.
5.1.5 Green routing
Route calculation is not only about finding the quickest or shortest route. For some of the
vehicle types, you c an also check the fuel cons umption and CO
route, and you can create cost effective routes with less effect on the environment.
In Route settings, you can edit the parameters of the selected vehicle. Enter the fuel
consumption values and th e price of the fuel. You can also select whether you want to see
the difference bet ween your route and the green route even if th e selected ro uting m ethod is
not Green.
After the above param eters are set, select

estimations only. They cannot take elevations, turns, curves and traffic conditions into
account. Also, this routing is not meant to give you the "greenest" route of all. It is still
important to travel quickly so the result is a fast route with low fuel consumption and CO
emission.

Note!
Mappy PND contains the TMC receiver that is needed to receive Traffic events.
If public Traffic data is broadcast at your location, Mappy PND automatically takes into
account the traffic events received. You do not need to set anything in the program. The
receiver will automatically search the FM radio stations for TMC data, and the decoded
information will immediately be used in route planning. When Mappy PND receives traffic
information that ma y affect your route, the program will warn you that it is recalculati ng the
