2.5 Nav N Go iGO 8 concepts
2.5.1 Smart Zoom
Smart Zoom is a lot more than just a usual automatic zoom:
• While following a route calculated by Nav N Go iGO 8: when approaching a turn, it
will zoom in and raise the view angle to let you easily recognize your maneuver 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 in Nav N Go iGO 8: Smart Zoom will zoom in
if you drive slowly and zoom out to the limit set here when you drive at high speed.

2.5.3 Daytime and night color schemes
Nav N Go iGO 8 uses different color schemes during the day and during the night.
• Daytime colors are similar to paper road maps.
• The night color schemes use dark colors for large objects to keep the average
brightness of the screen low.
24
Page 25
Nav N Go iGO 8 offers different daytime and night color schemes. It can also switch
automatically between the daytime and the night scheme 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.
2.5.4 Color scheme in tunnels
When entering a tunnel, the colors of the map change. All buildings disappear, the large
objects (such as surface waters or forests) and the empty areas between roads become
black.
However roads and streets keep their original colors from the daytime or night color scheme
currently used.
After leaving the tunnel, the original colors return.
2.5.5 Route calculation and recalculation
Nav N Go iGO 8 calculates the route based on your preferences:
• Route calculation method:
• Fast
• Short
• Economical
• Easy
• Vehicle types :
• Car
• Taxi
• Bus

• Bicycle
• Pedestrian
• Road types
• Unpaved Roads
• Permit Needed
• Highways
• Toll Roads
• Charge Roads
• Ferries
• Cross-border Planning
• Carpool Lanes (appears only when used in the USA)
Nav N Go iGO 8 automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed
itinerary.
25
Page 26
Depending on the type of the TMC event, Nav N Go iGO 8 also recalculates the route if a
TMC event concerns a part of the recommended route.
For further information about Route Planning options, see page 75.
2.5.6 Itinerary

2.5.7 Track Logs
Nav N Go iGO 8 can log the track that you drive (page 47).
A Track Log is a recording of how your GPS position changed and it is independent of the
route Nav N Go iGO 8 calculated.
Track Logs can be recorded, renamed, replayed, shown on the map, exported to a memory
card in GPX format, and deleted. See page 69.
ndently of the normal track log, you can instruct Nav N Go iGO 8 to record the native
Indepe
GPS data received from the GPS device. These logs are saved as separate text files on the
memory card, and they cannot be shown or replayed in Nav N Go iGO 8.

2.5.8 Route demonstration
A simulation drives you through the route, following the driving instructions (page 45). You
can choose from a simulation at high speed or at normal driving speed.
You can use it, for example, to see which bridge Nav N Go iGO 8 planned for the route; if you
do not want to take that bridge, you can avoid it.
Route demonstrations can be started from the Route menu by tapping the
(high speed simulation) or the (simulation at normal
speed) button.
2.5.9 POI (Points of Interest)
A point of interest (POI) is a location that someone might find useful or interesting. Nav N Go
iGO 8 is delivered with thousands of POIs and you can also create your own POIs in the
application.
POI locations are marked on the map with special icons. POI icons are quite large so you can
easily recognize the symbol. The icons are also semi-transparent: they do not cover the
streets and intersections behind them.
POIs are grouped into several levels of categories and subcategories. The icon of a POI that
comes with the map shows the symbol of the POI category. If you save your own POI, you
can select an icon for it independently of the POI category you have put it in.

measuring one or both directions of the traffic. They measure your current
speed. For these speed cameras you can specify the controlled traffic
direction and the speed limit. Nav N Go iGO 8 warns you when you
approach these speed cameras in the measured direction. If your speed

special warning sound.
work and they are not set to check a preset speed limit. The warning is
similar to fixed speed cameras, but as there is no speed limit given, only
the proximity is announced.
Some speed cameras are built into traffic lights. They work like fixed
speed cameras, but they are difficult to spot. The warning for proximity
and speeding is the same as for the fixed speed cameras.
Section
control
Red
light
These speed cameras work in pairs, and do not measure your current
speed but your average speed between the two speed cameras. Both
identify your car and record the exact time you pass them. They use the
difference between the two points in time to calculate your average
speed.
Nav N Go iGO 8 warns you when you approach one of these speed
cameras, but as you pass by, the warning stays on, and your average
speed is measured until you reach another speed camera of this type. If
your average speed exceeds the speed limit between the two speed
cameras, you receive the same special warning sound as with the other
speed camera types.
In the rare case Nav N Go iGO 8 cannot register the moment you pass
the second speed camera (for example, it is placed at the exit of a tunnel
where GPS position is not yet available) the warning continues. Just tap
the speed camera symbol displayed on the screen to stop the warning.
These cameras check if you obey traffic lights. The warning is similar to
mobile speed cameras: as there is no speed limit given, only the proximity
is announced.
2.5.10.2 Camera directions
A speed camera can measure the speed of one direction of the traffic, both directions, or
even several directions in an intersection, when they are mounted on a rotating base. The
same directions apply to red light cameras. Nav N Go iGO 8 warns you only if you drive in a
29

measured or possibly measured direction. The measured direction of the camera appears
with the following symbols:
Symbol Description
The camera checks the speed of the direction into which you are driving.
The camera checks the speed of the opposite driving direction.
The camera checks the speed in both directions on the road.
The camera can check the speed in any direction.
2.5.11 Speed limit warning
Maps sometimes contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. This
information may not be available for your region (ask your local dealer) or may not be fully
correct for all roads on the map.
You can configure Nav N Go iGO 8 to warn you if you exceed the current limit. Tap the
following buttons:
When you exceed the speed limit, the following happens:
• Visible Warning: A symbol with the speed limit appears in the corner of the map (for
example:
• Audible Warning: A voice message is played using the selected voice guidance profile.
, , , .
).
2.5.12 TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
Nav N Go iGO 8 can provide you with even better routes if Traffic Message Channel (TMC)
information is available. The TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System
(RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information.
TMC is enabled by default in Nav N Go iGO 8.
Note!
You need a TMC receiver attached to your device to receive TMC data.
If public TMC data is broadcast at your location, Nav N Go iGO 8 automatically takes into
account the TMC data 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. The moment Nav N Go iGO 8 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-todate traffic conditions.
If necessary, you can change the settings related to TMC, or select a specific radio station to

3.1.2.8 Tips on entering addresses quickly
• When you are entering the name of a city or a street, Nav N Go iGO 8 only displays
those characters that appear in possible search results. The other characters are
greyed out.
• When entering the city name or the street name, tap the
button after a couple of letters; Nav N Go iGO 8 lists the items that contain the
character set.
• 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 ZIP codes. This is useful when a street name is common and it
is used in several districts of a city.

3.2 Creating a multi-point route (inserting a via point)
Multi-point routes are created from simple routes, so a route must be active first. One of the
ways of expanding the route is to keep the destination, and to add via points (intermediate
destinations).
This feature is available in Advanced mode only.

destination in the route.

you like.
If you insert a via point in a route that is already a multi-point route, you will automatically be
taken to the Edit Route screen where you can determine the position of the intermediate route
point. When you enter the screen, the new via point is placed as the last via point before the
final destination. The new point is the selected point in the list.

The selected point moves down in the list (becomes a via point to be
reached later). Tap this button repeatedly, and the point becomes the
final destination of the route.
The route is reversed. The start point becomes the destination, the
destination becomes the start point, and all via points are to be
reached in the opposite order than before.
The route is optimized. The start point and the destination remain at
their position, but the via points are reordered to make the shortest
possible route.
The selected point is removed from the route. The route remains as it
was before adding the new point.
3.3 Creating a multi-point route (appending a new destination)
Multi-point routes are created from simple routes, so a route must be active first. One of the
ways of expanding the route is to add a new destination. The previous destination becomes

When you save a route, Nav N Go iGO 8 not only saves the route points but the whole
itinerary:
• The saved route might have been influenced by TMC information. When you later use
the route, it appears as it was saved, but if it needs to be recalculated, the current TMC
information will be used in the new route.
• If you updated your map since you first saved the route, Nav N Go iGO 8 recognizes
the change, and recalculates the driving instructions according to the latest available
map information.
• Nav N Go iGO 8 deletes from the route the via points that you already left behind
during navigation together with the road segments used to reach it. To avoid this, if you
want to save the route, you need to save it before you start navigating.

4.1 Map screen
Nav N Go iGO 8 is primarily intended for land navigation. That is why maps in Nav N Go iGO
8 look similar to paper road maps. However, Nav N Go iGO 8 provides much more than
regular paper maps: you can customize the look and the content of the map.
The most important and most often used screen of Nav N Go iGO 8 is the Map screen.

a via point in the route, the Edit Route screen opens to let you decide
where the new via point is to appear in the route.
If the Cursor is at or near one of the via points, this button replaces
the previous one, and deletes the selected via point from the route.

from the route (e.g. highways for pedestrians), or some of the
restrictions may not be taken into account (e.g. emergency
vehicles have only a few restrictions).
Road Types Used for Route
Planning
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.
Excluding a route is a preference. It does not necessarily mean
total prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using
some of the excluded road types, they will be used, but only as
much as necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on
the Route Information screen, and the part of the route not
matching your preference will be displayed in a different color on
the map.

Carpool
lanes
You might need a permit or permission from the owners to use certain roads or to
enter certain areas. Nav N Go iGO 8 excludes these roads from the route
calculation by default.
Nav N Go iGO 8 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.
In some cases the route calculated according to your other navigation and route
preferences would lead through another country. If you wish to always stay within
the same country, turn this option off.
This control appears only when navigating in the USA. You should check whether
you are allowed to use carpool lanes before enabling this road type.
Route Calculation Method types:
Option Description
Fast
Short
Gives the quickest possible 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
between the route points. Usually practical for pedestrians, cyclists or
slow vehicles.
Economical
Easy
Combines the benefits of Fast and Short: Nav N Go iGO 8 calculates
as if it were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads to save
petrol.
Results in a route with fewer turns. With this option, you can make Nav
N Go iGO 8 to take, for example, the highway instead of series of
smaller roads or streets.

5 Glossary
2D/3D GPS reception
The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and need at least four
signals to give a three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are
moving and because objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four
signals. If three satellites are available, the receiver can calculate the horizontal GPS position
but the accuracy is lower and the GPS device does not give you elevation data: only 2D
reception is possible.
Active route
The currently navigated route. You can save and load routes in Nav N Go iGO 8, but only one
route can be active at any given time, and it is always active until you delete it, reach your
destination or you quit Nav N Go iGO 8. See also: Route.
City Center
The City Center is not the geometric center of the city but an arbitrary point the map creators
have chosen. In towns and villages, it is usually the most important intersection; in larger
cities, it is an important intersection.
GPS accuracy
Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position and the one given by
the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting objects near the
GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can
calculate your position.
Map
Nav N Go iGO 8 works with digital maps which are not simply the computerised versions of
traditional paper maps. Similarly to the paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps show
you streets, roads, and elevation is also shown by colors. In 3D mode, you can see the
altitude differences, for example valleys and mountains, elevated roads, and in selected cities
3D landmarks and 3D buildings are also displayed.
You can use digital maps interactively: you can zoom in and out (increase or decrease the
scale), you can tilt them up and down, and turn them left and right. In GPS-supported
navigation, digital maps facilitate route planning.
North-up map orientation
In North-up mode the map is rotated so its top always faces North. This is the orientation in
2D map view mode and in Overview mode. See also: Track-up map orientation.
Overview mode
84
Page 85
You can instruct Nav N Go iGO 8 to automatically switch to Overview mode if the next route
event is in a distance. In Overview mode the map is shown in 2D but scaled down to a
predefined zoom level. When you approach the next route event, the previous 2D or 3D map
view returns automatically.
Route
A series of destinations to be reached one after the other. A simple route contains one start
point and only one destination. Multi-point routes contain one or more via points (intermediate
destinations). The last route point is the final destination and the route is cut into different legs
(from one destination to the next).
Scheme
Nav N Go iGO 8 comes with different color schemes for the map for daytime or night use.
Schemes are custom graphic settings for the map and they can have different colors for
streets, blocks or surface waters in 2D and 3D modes, and they display shades or shadows in
different ways in 3D mode.
One daytime scheme and one night scheme is always selected. Nav N Go iGO 8 uses them
when it switches from day to night and back.
Track-up map orientation
In Track-up mode the map is rotated so its top always points in the currend driving direction.
This is the default orientation in 3D map view mode. See also: North-up map orientation.
Road Safety Camera
A special POI type for speed cameras and red light cameras. Different data sources are
available, and you can also mark the position of a Road Safety Camera on the map.
You can configure Nav N Go iGO 8 to warn you when you approach one of these cameras.
