1 Warnings and Safety information
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 collect s usage information an d 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 96).
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 recommend that you operate Mapp y PND before you start your journey. 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 99).

2.3 Map screen
2.3.1 Navigating on the map

A small live map is displa yed on the Navigation menu, as a par t 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 88).
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 54)
When a map location is selected, t he Cursor appears at the select ed point 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 ro ute, a new 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 object s on the map. 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 the object), and you can get information about this object or use it as a route point.

2.3.3.1 Streets and roads
Mappy PND shows the streets in a way that is similar to how the paper road maps 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 ar e very intuitive . The following t able lists some of the frequently sho wn route events. The same symbols are used in both fields:

Go left on the roundabout, 3rd exit (next
manoeuvre).
Enter roundabout (second next manoeuvre). Enter motorway.
Exit motorway.

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 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, 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 signpost s, 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 intersec tion and the n eeded inf ormation 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 journey. 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 change the icons in Visual Guidance settings (page 94).

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 star ting point in M y 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 75.
3.1 Selecting the destination of a route
Mappy PND offers you several wa ys of choos ing your dest inat ion:
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 34).
Enter an address with postal code (page 41). 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 43).
Select a location on the map with the Find on Map feature (page 54).
Use a previously saved Favourite destination (page 55).
Select a location from the History of previously used destinations (page 57).
Enter the coordinate of the destination (page 58).
