1 Warnings and Safety information

Nav N Go iGO 8 is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your destination with a connected GPS receiver. Nav N Go iGO 8 does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.

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 Nav N Go iGO 8 before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure and stop if you need to change something in the route.

Nav N Go iGO 8 has a Safety Mode: if you turn on Safety Mode, you cannot change anything in Nav N Go iGO 8 while the vehicle is moving at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or higher. Unless only passengers operate Nav N Go iGO 8, we strongly encourage you to turn on Safety Mode.

You must obey the traffic signs and follow the road geometry. If you deviate from the route that Nav N Go iGO 8 recommended, Nav N Go iGO 8 changes the instructions accordingly.

Never place mobile devices 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 86).

2.5Nav N Go iGO 8 concepts

2.5.1Smart 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.

22

Enabling Smart Zoom

Tap the map to let the map control buttons appear, and then tap to enable Smart Zoom.

Fine-tuning Smart Zoom

Tap the map to let the map control buttons appear, and then tap and hold to open the Smart Zoom Settings window. Modify the zoom limits of Smart Zoom if necessary.

2.5.2Position markers

2.5.2.1Current GPS position and Lock-on-Road

When your GPS position is available, Nav N Go iGO 8 marks your current position with the

icon on the map. The exact location of the position marker depends on the vehicle type used for route calculation.

The vehicle type can be selected in Route settings (page 75) or in the Quick Menu (page 64).

•If you choose pedestrian: The icon is at your exact GPS position. The direction of the icon shows your actual heading.

•If you choose any of the vehicles: The icon is aligned to the nearest road to suppress GPS position errors. The direction of the icon is one of the directions of the route.

To use the current GPS position, tap . The Position menu appears and you can save the GPS position as one of the following:

•a Favorite

•a Road Safety Camera

•a POI

•a map marker Pin

2.5.2.2 Returning to normal navigation

When GPS position is available, and you have moved the map (the icon is moving or is

not even visible), or you have rotated the map in 3D mode, the button appears. Tap it to move the map back to the GPS position and re-enable Track-up map orientation (automatic map rotation).

23

Note! Even if you move the map while you are driving, Nav N Go iGO 8 continues navigating if there is an active route: it plays the voice instructions and displays

the turn preview icons according to your current GPS position.

2.5.2.3 Selected location (Cursor)

If you select a location in the Find menu, or you tap the map when the map control buttons are visible, the Cursor appears at the selected point on the map. Nav N Go iGO 8 displays the

Cursor with a radiating red dot () to make it visible at all zoom levels, even when it is in the background of a 3D map view.

When the Cursor is set, tap . The Cursor menu appears and you can use the Cursor as one of the following:

•the start point of a route

•a via point in a route

•the destination of a route

You can also search for POIs around the Cursor.

Or you can save the location of the Cursor as:

•a Favorite

•a Road Safety Camera

•a POI

•a map marker Pin

2.5.2.4 Original position in the Cursor menu

When the Cursor menu is open, a special icon () shows the Cursor position the menu was opened with.

You can move and zoom the map, and you can set the Cursor to a different place. The usual

Cursor () appears, and the buttons of the Cursor menu initiate actions for this new location.

To return to the original Cursor position, tap . The map jumps back to the position with which the Cursor menu was opened, and the icon appears again.

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

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

•Emergency vehicles

•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

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

The Itinerary is the list of the route events, that is, the driving instructions.

When you are on the Map screen, you can display the Itinerary in one of the following ways:

•Tap the area between the Turn preview and the Travel data fields where the symbol of the second next maneuver is displayed (for example ).

•In Advanced mode, tap the following buttons: , , .

You have the following options on the Itinerary screen:

Button	Description
Any of the list items	Opens the map with the selected maneuver in the middle.
	Changes the detail level of the Itinerary. The levels are as
	follows:
	• Detailed Instructions: all intersections are listed
	• Itinerary: only significant intersections (the ones
	announced in voice guidance) are listed
	• Road list: the list of the roads used while navigating the
	route
,	Turns the page for additional list items.

When the map is open with a maneuver in the middle:

Button

Description

Zooms in the map.

Zooms out the map.

Moves the map to show the previous or next maneuver.

,

26

Button	Description
	Opens a screen where you can avoid a part of the route starting
	from the selected maneuver.

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.

Independently of the normal track log, you can instruct Nav N Go iGO 8 to record the native 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.

To turn on NMEA/SIRF log saving, tap the following buttons: , , ,

.

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.
