1 Warnings and Safety information

NavNGo iGO 8 is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your destination with a connected GPS receiver. NavNGo 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 NavNGo iGO 8 before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure and stop if you need to change something in the route.

NavNGo iGO 8 has a Safety Mode: if you turn on Safety Mode, you cannot change anything in NavNGo iGO 8 while the vehicle is moving at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or higher. Unless only passengers operate NavNGo 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 NavNGo iGO 8 recommended, NavNGo 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 89).

2 Getting started with NavNGo iGO 8

NavNGo iGO 8 is optimised for in-car use. You can use it easily by tapping the screen buttons and the map with your fingertips.

NavNGo iGO 8 can plan routes throughout the whole installed map set; you do not need to change maps or switch to a poorly detailed general map to navigate between map segments or countries.

Tasks Instructions

Using the retractable stylus

Double tapping the screen

Tapping and holding the screen

You do not need a stylus to use NavNGo iGO 8. Tap the buttons and the map with your fingertips.

You do not need to tap the screen twice for any action. With buttons and controls, a single tap is enough.

You do not need this to access the basic navigation functions. Tap and keep pressing the following buttons to reach extra functions:

• Tap and hold maximum zoom level of Smart Zoom.

• Tap and hold any of the Map screen: you can set or reset the zoom value of the button (2D map).

• Tap and hold any of the Map screen: you can set or reset the tilt and zoom values of the button (3D map).

• Tap and hold menu appears.

• Tap and hold any of the

buttons on the Map screen: you can rotate, tilt or scale the map

continuously.

• Tap and hold several characters quickly.

right corner to the bottom left corner on any screen.

• Shortcut to open the Navigation menu: slide your finger from the top left corner to the bottom left corner on any screen.

Start using NavNGo iGO 8

When NavNGo iGO 8 is started the first time, you need to do the following:

1. Select the written language of the application interface. Later you can change it in Settings (page 80).

2. Select the language and speaker used for voice guidance messages. Later you can change it in Settings (page 80).

3. Read and accept the End User Licence Agreement (page 89).

4. Select whether to start the program in Simple mode or in Advanced mode. Later you can switch between the two operating modes in Settings.

After this, the Navigation menu appears and you can start using NavNGo iGO 8.

The Navigation menu in Simple mode:

The Navigation menu in Advanced mode:

The typical way of using NavNGo iGO 8 is to select a destination, and start navigating. You can select your destination in the following ways (not all of them are available in Simple mode):

• Use the selected location on the map (the Cursor) (page 31).

• 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 32).

• Enter an address with postal code (page 38). This way you do not need to select the name of the settlement and the search for street names might be faster as well.

• Use a coordinate (page 42)

• Use a saved location:

• a Favourite (page 40)

• a POI (page 40)

• the History of previously set destinations and waypoints (page 42)

2.1 Simple and Advanced modes

The two operating modes of NavNGo iGO 8 mainly differ in the menu structure and the number of available features. The controls and screen layouts are the same.

• Simple mode: you have easy access to the most important navigation functions and the basic settings only. The rest of the settings are set to values that are optimal for typical use.

• Advanced mode: you have access to the full functionality of NavNGo iGO 8.

2.3.3 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, NavNGo iGO 8 displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows either at the bottom or at the top of the map (the position of these arrows can be modified in Map Screen settings). Arrows in yellow represent the lanes you need to take.

Where there is additional information available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are always 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 that signpost is displayed in vivid colours that points to the lane(s) to be taken; all others are darkened out.

2.4 NavNGo iGO 8 concepts

2.4.1 Smart Zoom

Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:

• While following a route calculated by NavNGo iGO 8: 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.

• While driving without an active route in NavNGo iGO 8: Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly and zoom out when you drive at high speed.

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.

2.4.2 Position markers

2.4.2.1 Current GPS position and Lock-on-Road

When your GPS position is available, NavNGo 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 78) or in the Quick Menu (page 64).

• If you choose pedestrian: The icon shows your actual heading.

• If you choose any of the vehicles: The 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.

To use the current GPS position, tap position as one of the following:

• a Favourite

• a Road Safety Camera

• a POI

• a map marker Pin

2.4.2.3 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. NavNGo iGO 8 displays the Cursor with a

radiating red dot ( 3D map view.

When the Cursor is set, tap 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.

2.4.3 Daytime and night colour profiles

NavNGo iGO 8 uses different colour profiles during the day and during the night.

• Daytime colours are similar to paper road maps.

• The night colour profiles use dark colours for large objects to keep the average brightness of

the screen low.

NavNGo iGO 8 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.

2.4.4 Colour scheme in tunnels

When entering a tunnel, the colours of the map change. All buildings disappear, large objects (such as surface waters or forests) and empty areas between roads become black.

However, roads and streets keep their original colours from the daytime or night colour scheme currently used.

After leaving the tunnel, the original colours return.

2.4.5 Route calculation and recalculation

NavNGo 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

• Motorways

• Per-use Toll

• Period Charge

• Ferries

• Cross-border Planning

NavNGo iGO 8 automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary.

Depending on the type of the TMC event, NavNGo 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

78.

2.4.6 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 manoeuvre is displayed (for example

• In Advanced mode, tap the following buttons:

You have the following options on the Itinerary screen:

Opens a screen where you can avoid a part of the route starting from the selected manoeuvre.

2.4.7 Track Logs

NavNGo 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 NavNGo 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 71.

Independently of the normal track log, you can instruct NavNGo 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 NavNGo iGO 8.

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

, , ,

2.4.8 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 NavNGo 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.

2.4.9 POI (Points of Interest)

A point of interest (POI) is a location that someone might find useful or interesting. NavNGo 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 recognise the symbol. The icons are 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.

Saving POIs

To save a POI, place the Cursor ( ) at the desired location, then tap the following buttons: ,

, .

Managing POIs

You can select which POI groups to show and which ones to hide on the map, and from which zoom levels POI icons are visible. At the same place you can manage your saved POIs. A saved POI can be renamed, moved to a different POI group, its icon can be changed, or a phone number and

additional information can be added to it. Tap the following buttons:
