1 Warnings and Safety information

Nav N Go Limousine is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your destination with its GPS receiver. Nav N Go Limousine 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 Limousine before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure and stop if you need to change something in the route.

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

Never place any part of the navigation system 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 54).

2 Getting started with Nav N Go Limousine

Nav N Go Limousine 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.

Start using Nav N Go Limousine

When Nav N Go Limousine 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 48).

Select the language and speaker used for voice guidance messages. Later you can change it in Settings (page 48).

Read and accept the End User Licence Agreement (page 54).

Read and accept the road safety warning.

After this, the Map screen appears and you can start using Nav N Go Limousine.

The typical way of using Nav N Go Limousine is to select a destination, and start navigating. You can select your destination in the following ways:

• Use the selected location on the map (the Cursor) (page 20).

•

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 21).

•

Enter an address with postal code (page 26). This way you do not need to select the name of the settlemen

• Use a coordinate (page 29)

•

Use a saved location:

• a Favourite (page 27)

•

a POI (page 27)

•

the History of previously set destinations and waypoints (page 29)

t and the search for street names might be faster as well.

2.3.2 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, Nav N Go Limousine 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.

2.3.3 Status information and on the map

The following information appears in the field in the top left corner, the Turn Preview field.

2.4 Nav N Go Limousine concepts

2.4.1 Smart Zoom

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

• While following a route calculated by Nav N Go Limousine: 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 Nav N Go Limousine: Smart Zoom will zoom in if

you drive slowly and zoom out when you drive at high speed.

2.4.2 Position markers

2.4.2.1 Current GPS position and Lock-on-Road

When your GPS position is available, Nav N Go Limousine marks your current position with the icon on the map.

The 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, press position as one of the following:

• a Favourite

2.4.2.2 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, press GPS position and re-enable automatic map rotation.

Note!

Even if you move the map while you are driving, Nav N Go Limousine 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.

2.4.2.3 Selected location (Cursor)

If you select a location in the Find menu, or you move the map with the direction buttons, the Cursor appears at the selected point on the map. Nav N Go Limousine displays the Cursor with a radiating

red dot (

• a Road Safety Camera

) to make it visible at all zoom levels and any map density.

. The Cursor menu appears and you can use the Cursor as one

• a POI

• a map marker Pin

2.4.3 Daytime and night colour profiles

Nav N Go Limousine 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.

Nav N Go Limousine 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

Nav N Go Limousine calculates the route based on your preferences.

Vehicle types:

• Car

• Taxi

• Bus

• Emergency vehicles

Road Types Used for Route Planning:

Type Description

Nav N Go Limousine excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved roads can be in a bad condition and usually you cannot reach the speed limit on them.

You might need to avoid motorways when you are driving a slow car or you are towing another vehicle.

Nav N Go Limousine 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.

You might need a permit or permission from the owners to use certain roads or to enter certain areas.

Nav N Go Limousine excludes these roads from the route calculation by default.

By default Nav N Go Limousine includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a per-use charge) in the routes. If you disable toll roads, Nav N Go Limousine plans the best toll-free route.

Type Description

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.

Route Calculation Method types:

Option Description

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. It can be practical for slow vehicles.

Combines the benefits of Fast and Short: Nav N Go Limousine calculates as if it were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads as well to save fuel.

Results in a route with fewer turns. With this option, you can make Nav N Go Limousine to take, for example, the motorway instead of series of smaller roads or streets.

Nav N Go Limousine automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary.

2.4.6 Itinerary

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

You can display the Itinerary from the Route menu. See page 43.

Route demonstrations can be started from the Route menu by selecting

To stop the simulation and return to the Route menu, press

2.4.8 POI (Points of Interest)

A point of interest (POI) is a location that someone might find useful or interesting. Nav N Go Limousine is delivered with thousands of POIs.

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.

You can select a POI as the destination of your route. See page 27.
