1 Warnings and Safety information
The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS
receiver. iGO primo does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.
If you accept it when first using the application, iGO primo collects usage information 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 114).
It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of
the vehicle, we recommend that you operate iGO primo 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, iGO primo changes the instructions accordingly.
Never place [DEVICE] where it obstructs 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 117).

2.3 Map screen
2.3.1 Navigating on the map
The Map screen is the most frequently used screen of iGO primo.
A small live map is displayed on 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 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.
When GPS position is available, the Vehimarker is displayed in full colour, 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.
The
button gives quick access to frequently used functions. You can change the
available functions in Settings.
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.
Page 13
MG Motor UK Ltd
14
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).
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.
If [DEVICE] is capable of receiving live traffic information, the
calculation takes into account traffic delays affecting your route if they
are received. However, this calculation is rarely accurate.
Historical traffic data can also be taken into account if data is
available.
Shows the estimated arrival time at the final destination of the route
based on information available for the remaining segments of the
route.
If [DEVICE] is capable of receiving live traffic information, the
calculation takes into account traffic delays affecting your route if they
are received. However, this calculation is rarely accurate.
Historical traffic data can also be taken into account if data is
available.

2.3.2 Position markers
2.3.2.1 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 blue arrow, but you can change this icon in Settings.
The exact location of the Vehimarker depends on the vehicle type used for route calculation
and the navigation mode. Both can be set in Route settings (page 104).
x 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.
x 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:
x Tap the map when navigating,
x Tap the map when you are asked to confirm the destination at the end of a search, or
x Tap the map in Find on Map (page 58)
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 Favourite
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.
2.3.3 Objects on the map
2.3.3.1 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 colours correspond to their importance: you can easily tell a motorway from a
small street.
Page 15
MG Motor UK Ltd
16
2.3.3.2 Turn preview and Next street
When navigating a route, the top section of the Map screen shows information about the next
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 motorway, 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 table lists some of the frequently shown
route events. The same symbols are used in both fields:
Icon Description
Turn left.
Turn right.
Turn back.
Bear right.
Turn sharp left.
Keep left.
Continue straight in the intersection.
Go left on the roundabout, 3rd exit (next
manoeuvre).
Enter roundabout (second next manoeuvre).
Page 16

Enter motorway.
Exit motorway.
Board ferry.
Leave ferry.
Approaching a waypoint.
Approaching the destination.
2.3.3.3 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 and direction you need to take.
Where additional information is available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are
displayed at the top of the map. The colour 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
colours; all others are darker.
If you want to hide the currently displayed signposts, tap any of them and the normal Map
screen returns until new signpost information is received.
Page 17
MG Motor UK Ltd
18
2.3.3.4 Junction view
If you are approaching a motorway 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. 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.
There are two kinds of Junction Views:
Provider Junction Views
show a realistic view of the junction with realistic pictures of the road
signs:
Where Provider Junction Views are not available but the necessary information exists,
Generic Junction Views
show an generic view of the junction with focusing on the number and
layout of lanes only. The road signs are created from road shield, road number and
destination information received in the map data:
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.
Page 18
MG Motor UK Ltd
19
Tap any of them to display the exit area on the map. You can now easily add this exit as a
waypoint to your route if needed.
If you want to display other types of Places for the exits, you can change the icons in Visual
Guidance settings (page 110).
2.3.3.6 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 colour 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 wellknown objects.
3D buildings
3D block representation of full city building data containing actual building
size and position on the map.
2.3.3.7 Elements of the active route
iGO primo shows the route in the following way:
Symbol Name Description
Current GPS position and
Start point
Your current position displayed on the map.
x In pedestrian mode it is the exact GPS
position.
x If a vehicle is selected for route calculation
and roads are near, the symbol is snapped
onto the nearest road.
Normally if GPS position is available, the route
starts from the current position. If there is no valid
GPS position, iGO primo uses the last known
position as the start point.
Waypoint (intermediate
destination)
An intermediate destination of the route before
reaching the final destination.
Destination (end point) The final destination of the route.
Route colour
The route always stands out with its colour on the
map, both in daytime and in night colour mode.
Page 19
MG Motor UK Ltd
20
Streets and roads that are
excluded from the navigation
You can choose whether you want to use or
avoid certain road types (page 104). However,
when iGO primo cannot avoid such roads, the
route will include them and it will show them in a
colour that is different from the route colour.
Streets and roads that are
affected by traffic events
Road segments may be affected by traffic events
received. These streets and roads are displayed
in an alternate colour, and small symbols
displayed along the route show the type of the
traffic event.
2.3.3.8 Traffic events
Road segments affected by traffic events are displayed with an alternate colour on the map,
and small symbols above the road show the nature of the event:
1. Tap to open the Traffic Summary screen.
2. Tap to open the list of event categories.
3. Tap the traffic category you are interested in, or tap
to see the list
of all events:

4. Now tap any of the list items to see its details, and to display the affected road
segment in its full length on the map:
Note!
If there are traffic events on the recommended route that the application has not
bypassed, the
icon will open the list of significant traffic events to let you
quickly check them.
2.3.4 Manipulating the map
Tap the map anywhere to browse it during navigation. The map stops following the current
position (the Vehimarker, a blue arrow by default, is not locked in a fix position on the screen
any more) and control buttons appear to help you modify the map view.

3 On-road navigation
When first started, iGO primo calculates routes using the road network of the high quality
vector maps provided with the product.
You can set up your route in different ways:
x If you need a route for immediate navigation, you can select the destination and start
navigating to it right away (normal navigation).
x 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 like.
You can also use iGO primo for off-road navigation. For details, see page 80.
3.1 Selecting the destination of a route
iGO primo offers you several ways of choosing your destination:
x 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 37).
x Enter an address with postal code (page 43). 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.
x Use a built-in Place of Interest as your destination (page 46).
x Select a location on the map with the Find on Map feature (page 58).
x Use a previously saved Favourite destination (page 59).
x Select a location from the History of previously used destinations (page 61).
x Enter the coordinate of the destination (page 62).
x Use the location where a photo was taken (page 63).
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 initiate a separate search for addresses, Places, Favourite or recent
destinations. The fastest way to search for any of these 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 carry out the search and the following subsections will help you find specific
kinds of results.
1. In the Navigation menu, tap
.
2. First you see hints on the screen showing how you can use the function. These hints
are only displayed the first time you use this screen.
Page 28
MG Motor UK Ltd
29
3. Tap anywhere and the hints disappear. Once you get through this screen to the search
results, the hint will not appear again when you open this window later but you can see
them again if you tap the information button on the right side of the input field.
4. You can see the input field at the top of the screen. Right below that you see the
search area, the city/town around which the search is carried out. The default search
area is the area where you are located. For a local search, skip the next step.
5. (optional) To search in a different area, do as follows:
1. Tap
. A new screen opens with a new input field. A hint
bubble explains how you can specify the new search centre.
2. Tap anywhere and the hint disappears. If you successfully select a new search
area, the hint will not appear again when you open this window later but you can
see it again if you tap the information button on the right side of the input field.
3. Start entering the centre of the new search area using the screen keyboard. You
only need to enter a few letters to get a result. If the new search area is in a
different country, you can narrow the search results if you enter one space and
then a few letters of the country of the search area.
4. The most likely result appears below the input field as you enter new letters.
Tap to select this as your new search area. If you cannot see your preferred
area after a few letters, tap
and select one from the list.
6. With the proper search area displayed, you can start entering the name, address or
category of the destination you are looking for. The number shown in the
button shows how many results match the entered text. The
background search is carried out while you enter letters so this number may keep on
increasing if you wait a few seconds. Keep on entering new letters while this number is
high.
Page 29

7. Once the number of results is acceptable after a few seconds of searching, you can
tap
to switch to the result screen.
8. The result screen also opens with hints. Tap anywhere to suppress them. Once you
select a destination, they will not appear again.
9. You see all results in the list, regardless of their type. Addresses, Places, Place
categories, Favourite and recent destinations are mixed within one list.
10. You have the following options:
x Tap the result you want to use as your destination. Scroll the list if necessary.
x To narrow the search for only one type of result (for example for Places only)
you can tap the related button at the top of the screen. See the next sections for
details.
x Tap the
button and the new search will start for the same input text using
the Google Local Search facility. Wait for the result, and select one item from
the list.
11. Once the destination is selected, a full screen map appears with the selected point in
the middle. If necessary, tap the map somewhere else to modify the destination. The
Cursor (
) appears at the new location. Tap to confirm the
destination, or tap
to select a different destination.

parameters, or tap
and start your journey.

x You can speed up finding an intersection:

x If one of the streets is shorter, search for that one first. You can then find the
second one faster.
Page 45

x 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.

this is usually faster than entering the name of the city/town.

x
- Charge roads are pay roads where you can purchase a
pass or vignette to use the road for a longer period of time. They can be
enabled or disabled separately from toll roads.
x
- iGO primo includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a
per-use charge) in the routes by default. If you disable toll roads, iGO primo
plans the best toll-free route.
x
- iGO primo includes ferries in a planned route by default.
However, a map does not necessarily contain information about the accessibility
of temporary ferries. You might also need to pay a fare on ferries.
x
- iGO primo excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved
roads can be in a bad condition and usually you cannot reach the speed limit on
them.

4 Off-road navigation
When first started, iGO primo calculates routes using the road network of the high quality
vector maps provided with the product. You can switch the application to off-road mode in
Navigation settings in one of the following ways:
x From the Main menu, tap
, , and
then
.
x From the Map screen, tap
, and then .
Most of the procedures described for on-road navigation also apply to off-road navigation.
However, there are some that are not available in this navigation mode (for example you
cannot open the itinerary as you have no manoeuvres just route points and straight lines
between them).
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 navigation. 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. When
you are on the Map screen with an off-road route:
x your position and heading is not aligned with the nearest road and
x there is no turn by turn navigation just a recommended direction.
You see a orange line drawn between your current position and the next destination 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 the next destination.
(Future legs of the route are shown with orange lines.)
When you reach the final destination, navigation ends.
Page 80
MG Motor UK Ltd

5 Lorry navigation
The navigation software gives more options for lorry drivers:
x You can enter the parameters of your vehicle and iGO primo calculates your routes
with taking available weight, height, etc. restrictions into account (this feature is
accurate only if restrictions are available for all roads between your position and the
destination)
x Based on the dimensions and other entered parameters of your vehicle, iGO primo
warns you when you are approaching a restricted road segment or such roads must be
used in your route.
x You can set a waiting (loading) time for each destination of the route. This way the
arrival time calculation can take into account the idle times at intermediate
destinations. In addition, time dependent restrictions and statistical traffic information
can also be considered for the whole route.
x When selecting lorry as the vehicle type, U-turns are disabled from routes as much as
possible.
x By using the
button in the vehicle profile, you can even forbid
turning back on divided roads.
x You can use countdown timers to alert you when compulsory breaks must be taken
(timers can be set for one driver or two alternate drivers)
Warnings are both visual and audible. There are different kinds of warnings:
x When approaching a restricted road segment without a route, you are warned that
there is a restricted area ahead.
x Restricted road segments are excluded from your routes but in some cases some
restricted roads need to be used to reach the given destination. In this case you
receive a warning and you must accept that you have restricted roads in your route or
you can stop the navigation and continue without an active route.
Note!
Please note that lorry navigation is only as accurate and comprehensive as the
restrictions received with the map. Restrictions may not cover lower priority
roads and in most cases the coverage changes as you move around your map
region. You are obliged to always obey the restrictions displayed on the road.
5.1 Setting up vehicle parameters
When you use iGO primo with a lorry, you need to select a lorry type vehicle profile in Route
settings and enter the parameters of your vehicle. These parameters are used in route
calculation to bypass roads that are restricted for your lorry. Do as follows:
1. If you are on the Map screen, tap
to return to the Navigation
menu.
2. In the Navigation menu, tap
, and then .
3. Tap
.
Page 81
MG Motor UK Ltd
82
4. Tap .
5. There is one Default Lorry profile at the end of the list. You can either:
x tap the
button at the Default Lorry profile or
x create a new profile by tapping
then
and selecting Lorry as the vehicle type.
6. The list of vehicle profile parameters appear. Scroll the list and tap any of the lines to
change the parameters. The parameters are intuitive. In addition, you have the
following options:
x
: When enabled, the list of vehicle parameters always
appears before route calculation. This helps you quickly adjust the parameters
when some of them (the actual weight for instance) often change.
x
: When selecting lorry as the vehicle type, U-turns are
disabled from routes as much as possible. With this button you can even forbid
turning back on divided roads.
7. When finished with the vehicle parameters:
x tap
if you have modified an existing vehicle profile or
x tap
if you have created a new profile.
While this profile is selected, the parameters of your vehicle are taken into account when
planning routes. Note that this leads to a safe route for your lorry only if map data contains the
weight, height, etc. restrictions of the road network in your area.
Page 82
MG Motor UK Ltd
83
Tip!
Speed limits for lorries may not be available for all roads. It is advised to enter
the maximum allowed speed in your area for your vehicle instead of the
maximum speed your lorry is capable of.
Tip!
When you often use your vehicle with typical configurations of parameters (for
example with or without a trailer that also affects the length, the height, the
number of axles and the weight), it is better to create different vehicle profiles
for the typical setups and change between the profiles instead of always
modifying parameters.
5.2 Setting up waiting time at waypoints
In order to receive a better arrival time estimation and to be able to use time restrictions and
statistical traffic information for future legs of the route, you can enable this feature and
specify a waiting time for each stop on your route.
If you enable the feature as described below, the application will ask you to enter the time you
will spend at a stopover every time you enter a new destination.
1. If you are on the Map screen, tap
to return to the Navigation
menu.
2. In the Navigation menu, tap
, and then .
3. Tap
.
4. Tap to enable or disable this option.
5. When finished, tap and hold
to return to the Map screen.

5.3 Setting up driving time alerts
In order to obey the regulations regarding continuous and daily driving, you can set
countdown timers to alert you when you need a break or a sleep. This feature can be set for
one driver or two alternate drivers.
1. If you are on the Map screen, tap
to return to the Navigation
menu.
2. In the Navigation menu, tap
, and then .
3. Tap
.
4. Tap and set the driving timer defaults for the driver.
5. (optional) Tap the switch to use the vehicle with two drivers. The timer defaults are the
same but the timers will count down for each driver individually.
6. When finished, tap and hold to return to the Map screen.
Whenever the vehicle stops, the current driver receives a message a few minutes later
whether this stop means a break.
When a break is initiated, the continuous driving timer stops and it is reset to its default value,
the daily driving timer also stops, and the break timer starts counting down (the break starts
Page 84
MG Motor UK Ltd
85
from the moment when the vehicle stopped). When the vehicle is in motion again, the break
timer is reset, and both driving timers start counting down again.

6 Reference Guide
On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu
screens of iGO primo.
6.1 Concepts
6.1.1 Smart Zoom
Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:
x 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.
x While driving without an active route: Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly
and zoom out when you drive at high speed.
6.1.2 Daytime and night colour themes
iGO primo uses different colour themes during the day and during the night for both the map
and the menu screens.
x Daytime colours are similar to paper road maps, and the menus are bright.
x The night colour themes use dark colours for large objects to keep the average
brightness of the screen low.
iGO primo offers different daytime and night colour profiles. It can also switch automatically
between the daytime and the night schemes based on the current time and GPS position a
few minutes before sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after
sunset, before it becomes dark.
6.1.3 Tunnel view
When entering a tunnel, the map is replaced with a generic tunnel image so that surface
roads and buildings cannot distract you.
The top-down overview of the tunnel helps you orientate yourself. The remaining distance in
the tunnel is also displayed.
After leaving the tunnel, the original map view returns.
Page 86
MG Motor UK Ltd
87
This feature can be turned off in Settings (page 110).
6.1.4 Route calculation and recalculation
iGO primo calculates the route based on your preferences:
x Route planning methods:
x
: 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.
x
: Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all
possible routes. It can be practical for slow vehicles.
x
: Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel
consumption data given in Route settings (page 104). Travel cost and CO
2
emission calculations are estimations only. They cannot take elevations, curves
and traffic conditions into account.
x
: For vehicle types where Green routing is not available, this
method combines the benefits of Fast and Short: iGO primo calculates as if it
were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads as well to save fuel.
x
: Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult
manoeuvres. With this option, you can make iGO primo to take, for example, the
motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.
x Vehicle types:
When creating a new vehicle profile, select one of the below vehicle types. Besides
the below mentioned conditions, dimension, weight and freight hazard restrictions
can also be taken into account when planning a route.
x
:
x Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account
when planning a route.
x Roads are used only if access for cars is allowed.
x Private roads and resident-only roads are used only if they are inevitable
to reach the destination.
x Walkways are excluded from routes.
x
:
x Neither manoeuvre restrictions nor directional constraints are taken into
account when planning a route.
x Roads are used only if access for pedestrians is allowed.
x Controlled-access roads are excluded from routes.
x A private road is used only if the destination is there.
Page 87
MG Motor UK Ltd
88
x Speed limits are not used in route calculation and an average walking
speed is used when calculating the estimated time of arrival.
x
:
x Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints (if they are applied to
bicycles in the map data) are taken into account when planning a route.
x Roads are used only if access for bicycles or pedestrians is allowed.
x Controlled-access roads are excluded from routes.
x A private road is used only if the destination is there.
x Speed limits are not used in route calculation and an average cycling
speed is used when calculating the estimated time of arrival.
x
:
x All manoeuvres are available in intersections.
x Directional constraints are taken into account the way that opposite
direction is allowed with a low speed.
x A private road is used only if the destination is there.
x Walkways are excluded from routes.
x
:
x Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account
when planning a route.
x Roads are used only if access for buses is allowed.
x Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from
routes.
x
:
x Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account
when planning a route.
x Roads are used only if access for taxis is allowed.
x Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from
routes.
x
:
x Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account
when planning a route.
x Roads are used only if access for lorries is allowed.
x Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from
routes.
x U-turns are excluded from routes (turning back on a divided road is not
considered as a U-turn).

Whenever data exist, route calculation takes into account statistical traffic data for the given
day of week and time of day (page 93).
Real-time Traffic events are also taken into account and sometimes greatly modify the route.
iGO primo automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary or if
a newly received Traffic event concerns a part of the recommended route.
For further information about Route settings, see page 104.
6.1.5 Green routing
Route calculation is not only about finding the quickest or shortest route. For some of the
vehicle types, you can also check the fuel consumption and CO
2
emission when planning a
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 the price of the fuel. You can also select whether you want to see
the difference between your route and the green route even if the selected routing method is
not Green.
After the above parameters are set, select
as route planning method to
get a fast but also fuel efficient route. Note that travel cost and CO
2
emission calculations are
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
2
emission.
With a vehicle type where green routing is selectable, whichever route planning method is
selected, the Green details are also shown when you confirm the route:
If the selected route planning method is not Green, and you have allowed the application to
show the green alternative, the price, fuel consumption and CO
2
emission differences
between your selected route and the Green route are also shown on this screen:
Page 89
MG Motor UK Ltd
90
Tap the field with these details to switch the route to Green immediately.
6.1.6 Road safety cameras and other proximity alert points
There is a special proximity warning for road safety cameras (like speed or red light cameras)
and other proximity alert points (like schools or railroad crossings). These alert points are not
part of iGO primo. You can download them from www.naviextras.com or you can upload
points in a specific text file if needed.
Dynamic alert points may also be available online at your location.
You can also add your own alert points or edit the previously uploaded points. See page 76
for details.
The application can warn you when you approach road safety cameras like speed cameras or
dangerous areas like school zones or railroad crossings. You can set up the different alert
types individually in Sound and Warning settings (page 99).
The following alert types are available:
x Audio warning: beeps can be played (natural voice) or the type of the alert can be
announced (TTS) while you are approaching one of these points, and an extra alert
can warn you if you exceed the given speed limit while approaching.
x Visual warning: the type of the alert point, its distance and the related speed limit
appear on the Map screen while you are approaching one of these cameras.
For some of the alert points, the enforced or expected speed limit is available. For these
points, the audio alert can be different if you are below or above the given speed limit.
x Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you exceed the given speed
limit.
x When approaching: The audio alert is always played when approaching one of these
alert points. In order to draw your attention, the alert can is different when you exceed
the speed limit.
Note!
The warning for road safety cameras is disabled when you are in a country
where road safety camera warning is prohibited. However, you must ensure on
your own liability that using this feature is legal in the country where you intend
to use it.
Page 90
MG Motor UK Ltd
91
6.1.7 Speed limit warning
Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. iGO primo is able
to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not be available for your
region (ask your local dealer), or may not be fully correct for all roads in the map.
The maximum speed set in the vehicle profile is also used for this warning. iGO primo alerts
you if you exceed the preset value even if the legal speed limit is higher.
Speed warning can be fine-tuned in Sound and Warning settings (page 99).
You can set the relative speed above which the application initiates the warning.
The following alert types are available:
x Audio warning: you receive a verbal warning when you exceed the speed limit with the
given percentage.
x Visual warning: the current speed limit is shown on the map when you exceed it (for
example:
).
You can also choose to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time.
6.1.8 Battery and GPS position quality indicators
You can find useful information in the top corners of menu screens.
The battery symbol in the top left corner, next to the current time shows information about the
rechargeable battery of the device.
Icon Description
The battery is charging. The device runs on external power.
The battery is not charging but it is full.
The battery is not full but it still has enough capacity.
You need to recharge the battery.
Page 91
MG Motor UK Ltd
92
In the top right corner, the GPS reception quality icon shows the current accuracy of the
position information.
Icon Description
iGO primo has no connection to the GPS receiver: GPS navigation
is not possible.
Devices with a built-in GPS receiver are permanently connected.
On such devices, the icon does not appear in normal
circumstances.
iGO primo is connected to the GPS receiver, but the signal is too
weak and the receiver cannot determine the GPS position.
GPS navigation is not possible.
Only a few satellites are received. Position information is available,
but elevation (altitude) cannot be calculated.
GPS navigation is possible, but the position error may be
significant.
Altitude information is available, the position is a 3D position.
GPS navigation is possible.
6.1.9 Traffic information in route planning
The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Offline statistical traffic
information (historical speed information or traffic patterns) can be taken into account in the
route calculation based on the time of day and the day of week whenever suitable data exists.
In addition, real-time traffic information can help you avoid current traffic events like temporary
road closures or a traffic jam caused by an accident. Both functions are subject to data
availability.
You can display the historical traffic information on the map if you browse the map and select
this option from the More menu. A 2D map is displayed with road segments coloured by the
density of the traffic in the given period. The current information is shown when you open the
screen. Modify the day of week and the time of day to see the desired period.
You can display the live traffic information on the map if you browse the map and select this
option from the More menu. A 2D map is displayed with road segments coloured by the
severity of traffic events. Tap the event type icon at the road segment and then tap the
button to get information about the traffic event.
Page 92
MG Motor UK Ltd
93
6.1.9.1 Historical traffic
If statistical traffic information is stored with the map data, iGO primo can take them into
account when planning a route. In normal cases, these statistics help you avoid usual traffic
jams on the given day of week in the given hour but in some cases like on public holidays that
fall on normal weekdays, they can be misleading. You can disable this feature in Traffic
settings (page 103).
You can display statistical traffic information on the map if you browse the map and select this
option from the More menu.
6.1.9.2 Real-time traffic information (TMC)
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) can provide you with the real-time status of the traffic. Route
calculation can avoid road blocks or unexpected traffic jams caused by an accident.
Note!
This feature is available only if your hardware supports TMC.
TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting realtime traffic and weather information.
Using traffic information is enabled by default in iGO primo.
Note!
TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your country or region.
Ask your local dealer for coverage details.
[DEVICE] may contain the TMC receiver that is needed to receive Traffic events. Ask your
local dealer.
If public Traffic data is broadcast at your location, iGO primo 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 iGO primo receives traffic information that may
affect your route, the program will warn you that it is recalculating the route, and navigation
will continue with a new route that is optimal considering the most up-to-date traffic
conditions.
To fine-tune this recalculation, you can set the minimum delay that can trigger a route
recalculation, or you can instruct iGO primo to have you confirm the new recommended route
before it takes effect. You can do these in Traffic settings (page 103).
A special icon (
) is displayed on the Map screen to show you whether traffic events are
received. The icon shows the status of the traffic receiver when there are no traffic events on
your route, otherwise it shows the type of the next traffic event on your route.
Road segments affected by traffic events are displayed with an alternate colour on the map,
and small symbols above the road show the nature of the event:

1. Tap to open the Traffic Summary screen:
2. Tap to open the list of of event categories.
3. Tap the traffic category you are interested in, or tap
to see the list
of all events:
4. Now tap any of the list items to see its details, and to display the affected road
segment in its full length on the map:
Note!
If there are traffic events on the recommended route that the application has not
bypassed, the icon will open the list of significant traffic events to let you
quickly check them.
Page 94
MG Motor UK Ltd
95
6.1.9.3 Online traffic information
Unlike statistical traffic information, online traffic can provide you with the real-time status of
the traffic. Route calculation can avoid road blocks or unexpected traffic jams caused by an
accident.
Note!
This feature needs an active internet connection.
The application automatically takes into account the traffic events received. You do not need
to set anything in the program. When iGO primo receives traffic information that may affect
your route, the program will warn you that it is recalculating the route, and navigation will
continue with a new route that is optimal considering the most up-to-date traffic conditions.
To fine-tune this recalculation, you can set the minimum delay that can trigger a route
recalculation, or you can instruct iGO primo to have you confirm the new recommended route
before it takes effect. You can do these in Traffic settings (page 103).
A special icon (
) is displayed on the Map screen to show you whether traffic events are
