Before You Begin
Precautions and Notices
For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product while
driving.
Use this product prudently. The product is intended to be used only as a
navigation aid. It is not for precise measurement of direction, distance,
location or topography.
The calculated route is for reference only. It is the user’s responsibility to
follow the traffic signs and local regulations along the roads.
When you get off the car, do not leave your device on the dashboard that is
subject to direct sunlight. The overheating of the battery can cause
malfunction and/or danger.

Using Point of Interest (POI)
POI on a map represents local places of interest or importance. POIs are
identified on the maps by various icons (e.g. for Banks, or for
Restaurants).
Mio Map allows you to choose your destination from a vast database of POIs.
POI navigation is especially handy when you need to find a facility, attraction
or amenity by the type or sort. For example, you can ask Mio Map to guide
you to the closest bank, mall, hotel, restaurant, gas station, etc.
1. Press the Navigation Settings button
once and tap POI.
2. In the category list, tap (highlight) the desired category name (not the
check box). You can scroll up or down for other choices. Expand
categories with a [+] beside them for more detailed choices.
40
NOTE:
A check mark () before a category means that the POI icons will display on the map.
The plus sign (+) located to the left indicates that the main category contains at least
one sub-category (e.g. Restaurants - Italian, Indian, Barbecue or Cajun).
3. Tap Items. The POIs for the selected category are listed in order of
distance. To sort them alphabetically, tap the button.
4. Tap (highlight) the desired POI in the list.
You can also use the soft keyboard to enter the name of the POI. The
letters that you have entered will show at the bottom and the highlight will
move accordingly. You can then select the POI you want.
5. You can preview your destination by tapping Show (top toolbar).
6. To calculate the route, tap Navigate (top toolbar). The route is shown as a
highlighted blue line starting from your origin to your destination. (See
Section 4.7 for more information.)
41
POI Settings
By default, Mio Map displays POIs in a 50-mile search radius with your
current location as the center. You can change the radius and center by using
Tools (top toolbar) Settings. The options are Whole Map, 100 mi, 50 mi, 25
mi, 6 mi and 3 mi.
You can also select the search center. The options are Current Location,
Address, Favorites and History.
After making selections, press the Back button to save the changes and
exit the screen.
Using Favorites

1. Press the Navigation Settings button
once and tap Favorites.
42
2. In the category list, tap (highlight) the desired category name (not the

44
Using Map Cursor
Map Cursor means using the stylus pen to pinpoint a location on the map and
then view details, set as origin, save the location to Favorites or initiate
navigation to the location.
Navigate to Map Cursor is especially handy when you want to navigate to a
physical location, facility, or attraction by its location on the map rather than
by its street address.
1. Use the stylus pen to drag the map to a specific location or intersection of
your choice.
2. Tap and hold the location with your stylus pen until the Map Cursor popup menu appears.
NOTE: To clear the pop-up menu, just tap the screen anywhere besides the menu.
