1 Warnings and safety information

iGO is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected destination. It will determine your exact location with the help of the built-in GPS device. The position information obtained from the GPS receiver will not be transmitted anywhere, so others will not be able to track you by the help of this program.

If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate iGO before beginning your journey. The driver’s attention s hould always be on the road. Plan your route before departure and pull over if you need to change route parameters. iGO has a built-in (optional) Safety Mode that will prevent you from using the screen functions if your car is in motion. Unless a passenger will be the only one to operate iGO, we strongly encourage y ou to turn on the Safety Mode.

It is also important that you look at the display only if it is absolutely safe to do so. You should always observe traffic signs and road geometry before you obey any instruction

from iGO. If you n eed to deviate from th e recommended direct ion, iGO will suggest a modified route according to the new situation.

Never place th e PNA where it can obstruct the view of the driver, is within the deployment zone of airbags, or where it can cause injuries in case of an accident.

For further information, please consult the End User License Agreement: Page 88.

2 General information

iGO is a navigation system optimised for in-car use. It provides door-to-door navigation for both single and multi-point routes using adaptable route parameters. iGO is capable of planning routes throughout the whole installed map set. Unlike some other products, iGO does not require that you change maps or switch to a poorly d etailed general map to navigate between map segments or countries. You always have complete freedom to go wherever you wish. Just select your destination and go.

You do not need a stylus to us e iGO. All screen buttons and controls are designed so that you can operate them with your fing er tips.

You can access all fun ctions of the program by using hardware and screen buttons. With the help of these buttons you can travel through all the screens of the program. Most of the screens (especially menu functions and settings) c an be accessed from several other screens, minimising the number of actio ns needed to reach the desired function.

When using iGO, you do not need to ‘double tap’ or ‘tap & hold’ the touch screen as these functions cannot be used reliably in a moving vehicle. A single tap triggers most of the screen controls. The only exceptions are ‘drag & drop’ for moving the map, or scaling it in Map mode (Page

32).

Most of the screens have a Return button the previous scree n or direc tly to one of the map screens.

Settings screens also have a Help button detailed description of the current settings screen.

in the top left corner. This arrow returns to

in the top right corner. This will s how a

3 Operating iGO (Controls)

iGO is designed for easy o peration. All controls are operable by fingertips. Wherever possible, pushbuttons and lists are provided to make accessing f unctions or changing settings as easy as possible.

3.1 Hardware buttons

There are only a few hardware buttons on your PNA. The majority of the iGO functions can be accessed using the touch screen. The hardware

buttons are the following:

3.1.1 Power on/off

Use this button to turn the power of the PNA on or off any time.

If the device power is turned off while iGO is running, when you turn the device back on, iGO will continue the navigation as soon as the built-in GPS determines the location again.

While the device is switched off, the GPS will not work, no position will be calc ulated, track log will not be saved, and navigation will stop.

3.1.2 Zoom in and out

Zoom will change the scale of the map in both 2D and 3D map modes. This function is explained in detail here: Page

Note: When applied on list and menu screens, this action will move the highlight up and down.

3.2 Screen buttons and controls

The primary input channel of iGO is the touch screen. If you read on, you will realise that most parts of the screen are not only used to display information but also to initiate fu nctions by tapping. Below you will find a list of the most frequently used controls in the program.

3.2.1 Direct selectors

Some of the settings can be chosen from a short list of possible values. If the values can be described graphically, all values are avail ab le on the screen.

31.

Tap one of the icons to set/change the value.

3.2.2 List selectors

When the values in the list need to be named, only the current valu e is shown (sometimes together with a short description) in a horizontal stripe with arrows at both ends.

The arrows are buttons. Tap to move left in the list or tap to move right. You need not confirm your selection. As soon as you leave the screen, the selec ted value becomes effective.

3.2.3 Sliders

When a feature has several different unnamed (numeric) values, iGO will show sliders that look like analogue potentiometers to set the desired value.

If the value limits are not displayed at the ends of the slider, the leftmost position means t he minimum value, while the rightmost position represents the maximum value.

With most sliders you can check the current value on the left.

This control can be operated in two ways. Either drag the handle to move the slider to its new position, or tap the slider where you want the handle to a ppear (the thumb jumps there immediately). As with the list selectors, there is no need to confirm your selection. As soon as you leave the screen, the selected value becomes effective.

3.2.4 Switches

When a function can only h ave two values (mainly Enabled and Disabled), a switch is used. Unlike with list selectors, the horizontal line contains the name of t h e function and not the actual status. There is a lamp on the left to show whether the function is active or not.

When the lamp is dark , the function is not selected. When it is lit , the function is enabled. The whole strip works as a button. Tap anywhere to toggle between the enabled and disabled status.

3.2.5 Switches in the Quick menu

The switches of the Quick menu (Page different in order to fit in with the other menu buttons.

Tap the button to toggle between the enabled and disabled states.

3.2.6 Virtual keyboards

iGO is designed in a way that you only need to enter letters or numbers when it is inevitable. In these cases a full screen keyboard pops up that can easily be operated with your fingertips. You can choose between a separate ABC and numeric keypad, or a set of QWERTY-type keyboards that contain both letters and numbers. iGO will remember your last choice and offer it the next time you need to enter data.

The alphabetic keyboards in iGO do not contain special characters, because you do not need to enter accents when searching for a destination. Type only the base letters (the letter most similar to the accented one) and iGO will search for all their combinations in the database (e.g. fo r the French street ‘Cité Bergère ’ you only need to type ‘Cite Bergere’, and the rest is done by the program).

When you type in POI or track log names, iGO will automatically turn all initials into capitals to create names that look pleasant.

3.2.6.1 ABC-type keyboards

These keyboards contain only letters (Latin, Hebraic, Greek or Cyrillic). If you wish to enter

40) behave as normal switches but they look

numbers, you need to tap the Keys button to switch to the numeric keyboard.

Use Backspace (arrow pointing left) to delete the last letter you have entered if you have made a mistake, tap Space to enter more words, and hit Done to finish entering the text.

This type of keyboard has large, finger-friendly buttons.

Note: If you have chosen a program language that uses Latin letters, only the ABC keyboard appears. If you choose the Greek language, an additional keyboard appears with Greek letters. Similarly Hebraic and Cyrillic letters are available when Hebrew or Russian is chosen in Setup / Languages (Page

If you are used to computer keyboards, you may consider trying one of the QWERTY-type keypads.

3.2.6.2 QWERTY-type keyboards

QWERTY-type keyboards have both letters and numbers on them. Their layout is the same as of the standard QWERTY, QWERTZ (German) and AZERTY (French ) keyboards. To switch to your desired QW ERTY-type keyboard, press the Keys button r epeatedly until th e appropriate keyboard appears.

66).

The special keys described in the previous section are also available here.

3.2.6.3 The numeric keyboard

The numeric keyboard only contains number s, on huge buttons. The special keys you find on the other keyboards (except Space) are available here as well.

Although QWERTY-type keyboards als o contain number keys, whe n entering a house number, the program offers the more convenient numeric keypad.

4 Discovering the program through the screens

The best way to discover iGO is to explore each screen in detail, and to find out how to move from one to another. Read this chapter for a guided tour.

4.1 Main menu

iGO st arts by displaying the Main menu. This is the root of the screen hierarchy, but you need to return here very rarely while using the program. Screens are also access ible from each other to reduce the number of actions needed to initiate a function or change a setting.

Most parts of the program are directly accessible from here by using the buttons described

below.

4.2 About screen

Tap About on the Main menu screen to open this screen. The About screen is not used in normal navigation. It is there to inform you about the map licenses you have, the creators of iGO and the legal aspects of using the program.

4.3 The map

The most import ant and most frequently used screens of iGO are the two screens with the map (Map screen and Cockpit screen). They are similar in lo ok and in possible controls but are optimised for dif ferent uses. The ma p they display is common. The elements of the map are described here. For the controls and special functions of the two map screens see Page

27.

The current version of iGO is primarily intended for land navigation. That is why maps in iGO look similar to paper roadmaps (when using daytime colours and 2D map mode). However, iGO provides much more tha n regular pa pe r maps can. The look and the contents can be changed.

4.3.1 2D and 3D map views

Besides the classical top down view of the map (called 2D mode), you have the possibility to tilt the map to have a perspective view (3D mode) that gives a view similar to that seen through the windscreen with the possibility to see far ahead.

It is easy to change between 2D and 3D modes. You have two options. You can use the Tilt up and down buttons (Page you can use the switch in the Quick menu (Page modes.

Note: You may find that 2D mode is more useful in North-up Map mode when looking for a certain part of the map or an object to select as destination. On the other hand, 3D mode in Track-up Cockpit mode with Smart Zoom makes navigation very comfortable. The description of these modes will come later in this manual.

Note: 3D view is only useful for navigation. As you zoom out, the view angle will automatically be raised. Finally 2D view will be reached. When you zoo m back in, 3D view will gradually return.

Note: Using the Advanced settings, yo u can force Cock pit mode to always start in 3D Trackup view (Page enter this screen, the preset look will reappear. Similarly you can fo rce Map mode to always start in 2D North-up view.

4.3.2 Zoom levels

iGO uses high quality vector maps that let you see the map at various zoom levels, always with optimised content (the density of the map details can be independently set for Map and Cockpit screens in Map settings (Page 61). Street names and other text objects are always displayed with the same font size, never upside down, and you only see as many streets an d objects as nee ded to find your way around the map. Zoom in and out to see how the map changes in either the 2D or 3D view.

41) to quickly switch between the two

Changing the scale of the map is very easy. You can drag and stretch the scale (Page 32) at the bottom of the Map screen, or use the zoom icons (Page screens.

Note: If you need to zoom out briefly to locat e your position on the map, use the Overvie w mode instead of zooming out and back in. The Overview mode is a 2D North-up v iew that can be started by tapping the compass button on the right (Page

Note: iGO has a special Smart Zoom function for navigation that automatically rotates, scales and tilts the map in 3D map mode to always give you the optimal v iew in your current situation. When approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view angle to let you easily recognise your ma noeuvre at the next junction. If the next turn is at a distance, it will zoo m out and lower the view angle to flat in order to let you see the road in front of you.

4.3.3 Daylight and night colour schemes

The different colour schemes let you adjust iGO to the brightness of the environment. Use the daylight and night colour schemes accordingly. Daylight colours are similar to paper roadmaps, while the night colour schemes use dark tints for large objects to keep the average brightness of the screen low, with carefully selected colours to still keep you informed about all the necessary information on the screen.

31) on both Map and Cockpit

32).

You can change between day and night views manually in the Quick Menu (Page 41) or let iGO do it automatically (Pa ge

Note: The automatic day/night mode is based upon the current date and GPS position by which iGO calculates the exact sunrise and sunset times on the particular day at the particular location. Using t hat information iGO can automatically sw i tch between the colour schemes a few minutes before sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset before it gets dark.

Tip: There are several day time and night colour schemes included with iGO. To select the one that suits your needs the best, make your selection in Settings (Page 61 ).

Tip: To further enhance the effect of the night colour scheme, you can instruct iGO to decrease the display backlight when the night colours are used. Set the desired backlight levels for both daylight and night modes. Page

Note: T he colours mentioned and screenshots included in this manua l refer to the default daytime and night colour schemes. They may not look the same in the schemes you have chosen.

Tip: If you use iGO after sunrise or before sunset, look for the sun in the sky in the map background using a flat 3D view. It is displayed at its actual pos ition to give you another wa y to orientate, and also to provide some eye candy.

58) for you.

68.

4.3.4 Streets and roads

The similarity of iGO to paper roadmaps is also convenient when it comes to streets, the most important elements of the map concerning nav igation. iGO uses similar colour codes to those you are accustomed to, and the width of t he streets also refers to their importance, so it will not be difficult to tell a highway from a small street.

Streets and roads have names or numbers for identification. Of course, this information can be displayed on the map. iGO uses two different ways to show street labels. The

conventional way is th e same as a roadmap – it displays the n ame of the street aligned with the street. The alternative is a kind of virtual signpost stuck into the street itself.

You need not choose between the two modes. iGO will use the one best for the current tilt and zoom level. Zoom in to have only a few streets on the map, and start tilting up and down to see how iGO switches between the two modes in an instant.

Note: The automatic switching is on ev e n when using Smart Zoom. At first you may find it odd, but later you will discover how it adjusts the displayed information to the current view of the map. It is important, as the driver must be able to read th e map at a glance.

Tip: If you do not want to be bot hered by street names during navigation, turn them off in Map Options (Page 62).

Tip: Major roads usually have alternative names (numberin g) besides the primary name. You can choose whether to display these alternative names or not. You can set this in Map Options (Page

4.3.5 Other objects

To help orientate you, the map also contains objects that have no other navigating function than to help you recognise your location on the map. These are surface-waters, large buildings, forests, etc.

Tip: These objects are normally displayed using textured polygons that look natural to the eye. You may wish to switch the textured display off (Page 62) to free some of the resources of your PNA by replacing textures with plain coloured surfaces.

62).

4.3.6 Current position and Lock-on-Road

When your GPS position is available, a blue arrow (yellow when using night colours) shows your location on the map.

The direction of the arrow represents your heading. The arrow is sized and vertically rotated with the zoom and tilt levels to always look re alistic.

iGO has a built-in Lock-on-Road feature that always puts the position arrow on the road, on the axis of the street in case of one-way streets, or on the side of the road where you drive (e.g. on the right in Germany and on the left in the U.K.) on two-way roads.

The location received from the GPS receiver is s hown as a blue dot on the map. This can help you locate your position if the GPS accuracy is poor, and the Lock-on-Road system puts you on the wrong street. It is also the location saved in the track log (Page 45).

Note: The Lock-on-Road feature can be turned off in Advanced settings (Page pedestrian use. When switched off, the a rr ow is displayed at the position reported by the GPS receiver.

When the GPS position is lost, the arrow turns grey, but the journey continues on the recommended route for a short period of time with the speed last detected before the GPS position was lost. When the next route event is reached, or aft er 40 seconds, the arrow stops, and remains grey until GPS reception returns. This way short tunnels can be crossed without losing the position.

4.3.7 Selected map point, also known as the Cursor

If you tap the map somewhere or select a specific item in Find, it will become the selected point on the map, marked with a small red dot and permanently radiating red circles to make it conspicuous at all zoom levels, even when it is in the background of a 3D map view. You can use this point as starting point, via point, or destination of your route, you can search for a POI near to it, mark it with a drawing-pin, or save it as a POI. The cursor, when visible, is also the reference point for map scaling.

71) for

Note: When your GPS position is available, and Lock-to-Position (Page 31) is active, the cursor is the current GPS positi on, the blue arrow. When you select another point by tapping the map, or using the Find menu (Page red dot and the radiating red circles.

73), the new Cursor is shown on the display with the

4.3.8 Marked map points (Pin)

The Cursor can be marked with a Pin. Pins are shown as being stuck in the map. A Pin is visible at all zoom levels and remains in its position until you unpin it, or delete all Pins in Advanced settings (Page

72).

The colour of the Pin is automatically selected by iGO. Different colours help you identify a Pin in the History list (Pa ge GPS Coordinates.

Tip: There is a quick way to save the current GPS position as a Pin. Press the Record button (hardware button with an audio cassette icon on it) to save the Pin instantly.

Tip: A quick way to tell the coordinates of a location you found on the map is to Pin it, and then look for the coordinates in the History list (Page coordinates with the Pin for later reference. If you do not need the coordinates later, just select the point and start Find Coordinates (Page

4.3.9 Visible POIs (Points of Interest)

iGO comes with thousands of built-in POIs, and you can create your own POI database as well. Having all of them displayed on the map would make the map too crowded. To avoid this, iGO lets you select which POIs to show and which ones to hide (Page categories and subca tegories.

POIs are represented by icons on the map. For a built-in POI it is the icon of the subcategory of the actual POI. For points y ou create, it is the icon you had chosen when you created the POI (it can be changed later).

These icons are large enough to recognise the symbol, and semi-transparent so as not to cover the streets and junctions behind them.

42) using their

When the map is zoomed out, the icons are not shown. As you zoom in, small dots appear at the locations of visible POIs. Zoom ing in further makes the full icons appear.

If two points are too close to each other so that icons overlap, a multi-POI icon is shown instead of individual ones. Zoom in more to see them separately. (Should the two POIs have the same icon, this icon will be displayed instead of the multi-POI icon.)

Note: When navigating, POI icons can be disabled together with street names (Page you still need this information during your journey, just drag the map to disable Lock-toPosition (Page to reactivate Lock-to-Position.

62). If

Tip: Tap the map on or near a POI item to see the list of the names of the nearest POIs in a popup list, if it is enabled (Page 45). To see the details of a particular POI in the list, tap the blue ’i’ icon on the right. If you have too may POIs nearby, this list may not be complete. In the Cursor menu (Page

35) there is a button called POI that leads you to the screen of all

nearby POI items. There you can open them one by one to see their details, and select any of them as a route point.

4.3.10 Road safety cameras

Road safety cameras, such as speed cameras and red light cameras are special POI types in iGO. They are described in detail here: Page

4.3.11 Element s of the Active Route

iGO uses a multi-destination routing system in which you have a start point (your current location if GPS position is available), a destination, the line of the active leg of the route, and optionally via points and inactive legs. They are all shown on the map.

4.3.11.1 The start point, via points and the destination

These points are represented by flags.

54.

4.3.11.2 Animated turn guidance

Animated arrows represent all ro ute events other than the above-mentioned special poi nts. These arrows show the direction in which you need to continue your journey.

4.3.11.3 The active leg of the r oute

The active leg is the section of the route you are currently driving. If you have not added any Via points, the whole route will be the active leg. When Via points are present, the active leg is the part leading from your location to the next via point.

The active section is displayed in light green / red . It is always the most conspicuous part of the map even when in the backgr ound of a 3D map view.

The line of the route is displayed on the driving side of the road for two-way and on the axis in case of one-way streets. When the map is zoomed in and the line is wide enough, small arrows show the direction of the route. This can be useful if you preview the route before starting the journey or whe n entering a complex junction.

4.3.11.4 Inactive legs of the route

Future sections of a route are inactive. They are also shown on the map with the same colour but a darker tint than the active one. An inactive route sectio n becomes active as soon as you reach its starting Via point.

4.3.11.5 Roads in the route excluded by your preferences

Although you can choose whether to include or avoid some road types in Route parameter settings (Page or the destination.

65), sometimes they are im possible to avoid near the starting point, via points

If so, iGO will display those segments of the route with an alternate colour.

4.4 GPS Data screen

Tap the small satellite dish icon on the Main menu, Map or Cockpit screen to open this window.

The GPS Data screen is a collection of information received from the GPS device and it also serves as the entry point to the following screens:

• TMC,

• Time Sync.

4.4.1 GPS data displayed

The virtual sky on the left represents the currently visible part of the sky above you, with your position as the cen tre. The satellites are shown at their curr en t positions. The GPS receives data from both the green and grey satellites. Signals from the grey satellites are only received, wh ile green ones are used by the GPS to calculate your current location. On the right you can see the satellite signal strength bars. Grey bars are for the grey and black bars are for the green satellites. To identify satellites use their numbers also shown in the virtual sky. The more satellites your GPS tracks (the green ones), the better y our calculated position will be.

Additional pieces of information on this screen are: current position in latitu de /longitude format, elevation, speed, date, time and calculated accuracy.

Note: Accuracy can be affected by s everal factors the GPS cannot take into account. Use this accuracy information only as estimation.

There are two icons on the left to show the status of the GPS connection and the quality of reception.

4.4.2 GPS connection i ndicator

In the middle to the left there is a lamp si milar to the ones used for switches. This one has more colours and represents more values:

• a fast blin king green lamp means that there is communication with the GPS and

data is being received,

• other colours may not appear with a built-in GPS. Should any of

these appear, this means a faulty operation of your device.

4.4.3 GPS data quality indicator

In the top left corner there is a satellite dish to show the quality of the GPS position. Different colours represent different signal quality:

• black with a red cross me an s there is no con nection with the GPS device. This

should never be the case if your device has a built-in GPS.

• red means the GPS is connected but no GPS position is available,

• yellow means 2D rec eption. A GPS position has been acquired, iGO is ready for

navigation, but the GPS is using enou gh satellites for calculating the horizontal position only. Elevation data is not provided, and the position error may be significant.

• green means 3D reception. The GPS receiver has enough satellites to calculate

altitude. Position is generally c orrect (yet it can still be inaccurate due to different environmental factors). iGO is ready for navigation.

4.4.4 Time synchronization

In the top right corner of the screen you have another button that leads to a new screen where you can synchronize the clock of your PNA to the very accurate time provided by the connected GPS.

Turn on the Auto Correction switch to let iGO frequently check and correct t he internal clock of the device with the GPS time.

Below that button you will see the current values of the GPS and the device clocks. You can

check here whether any correction is needed. Tap the synchronize the time.

button to manually

Below the PNA time you have hour and minute controls to manually correct the time with or without a valid GPS time. It also gives you the chance to correct the time after synchronization if your PNA does not support time zones or daylight saving time.

4.5 Screens with map

Having explained the contents of the map, the description of the other parts of the map screens follo ws. There are two map screens: the Map screen and the Cockpit screen. The way they show the map is the same but their look and controls are optimised for different purposes.

The Map sc reen is to be used mainly without a GPS, to browse the map, create user POI items, or to plan your route based on map points. The Map screen is designed to give you the maximum map area. This screen is usually used in 2D North-up mode.

You can set iGO so it always opens the Map screen in 2D North-up mode (Page

The Cockpit screen is for driving purposes. Besides showing the map, it contains some additional travel information if you are just cruising (speed, current street you are driving in, speed limit for the current street), and some more route data if you are navigating (e.g. next street in your route, distance to travel, type of the next route event). This screen is typically used in 3D Track-up mode.

You can make iGO always open the Cockpit screen in 3D Track-up mode (Page

There are several controls that function in a similar fashion on the two screens. They are described on the following pages.

4.5.1 Turn preview (No. 1)

On the Cockpit screen this field shows a graphic illustration of the next manoeuvre. For example when you approach a turn, an arrow will show whether it is a slight, normal or sharp turn. When showing a roundabout, the number of the exit is also given in the picture.

This field also serves as a button. Tap it to get to the Route menu (Page 47). The Map screen will show a button called Route here if there is an active route. This also leads to the Route menu.

4.5.2 Zoom in and out (No. 2 & 3)

These semi-transparent buttons are only displayed if "Zoom & Tilt" is enabled in the Quick menu (Page

Zoom will change the scale of the map. Zoom out shows a larger part of the map, while Zoom in shows a smaller part of the map in more detail.

The automatic Smart Zoom function will do the necessary zooming for you when navigating (zooms out if the next turn is at a distance to let you see far ahead and zooms in when approaching a turn to give you a better view of the upcoming manoeuvre). If you manually change the zoom level, Smart Zoom will no longer scale the map by itself (automatic tilting and rotating remain s active).

You need to press Enter (Page control to Smart Zoom. You can also set iGO to do this automatically after a few seconds in case of the Cockpit screen (Page

This function modifies the vertical viewing angle of the map in 3D mode. You can change the angle in a wide range starting from a top down view (2 D v iew is seamlessly integrated) all the way to a flat view that lets you see fa r ahead.

The automatic Smart Zoom function will do the necessary tilting for you when navigating (gives a flat view if the next turn is at a distance to let you see far ahead and raises the angle when approachin g a turn to give you a better view of the upcoming manoeuvre). If you manually change the view angle, Smart Zoom will no longer tilt the map by itself (automatic zooming and rotating remains active).

You need to tap the Follow button (Page can also set iGO to do this automatically after a few seconds (Page

4.5.4 Follow mode - lock to GPS position and heading (No. 6)

This semi-trans parent icon is displ ayed if GPS position is available, and the map has been moved. It also appears when you scale or tilt the m ap while Smart Zoom is enabled.

Normally iGO positions the map to keep the GPS position visib le somewhere on the map (when North-up orientation is selected), or always at the bottom centre of the map (when Track-up orientation is selected).

If you manually move the map, it will freeze the map in the new position. To return to the GPS position, use this Follow button.

When Smart Zoom is enabled, scaling or tilting the map also stops the automatic zooming or automatic tilting respectively. To reactivate Smart Zoom, tap t his button.

This button has a hardware button equivalent: Page

Tip: In Advanced settings you can set a delay time after which iGO pushes the Follow button for you on the Cockpit screen automatically (Page 69). This can be turned on for re-enablin g both Lock-to-Position and Smart Zoom.

4.5.5 Cursor (No. 7)

As described earlier (Page Find, it will become the selected poi nt on the map, marked with a small red dot and radiating red circles to make it conspicuous. You can use this point as starting point, via point or destination for your route, you can search for a POI near it, mark it with a pin, or save it as a POI.

Note: When GPS pos ition is available, the Follow button will appear indicating that you ha v e disabled Lock-to-Position. Tapping the Follow button will re-enable the position lock and move the c ursor back to the current GPS position. The same happens when iGO restores Lock-to-Position automatically on the Cockpit screen, if it is set in Advanced settings (Page

20), if you tap the map somewhere or select one specific item in

11.

69).

4.5.6 Map scale (No. 8)

The scale indicator is only available on the Map screen. In 2D map view it represents the scale of the map. In 3D view it is the scale of the nearest part of the map only.

You can use it in both 2D and 3D modes to scale the map. Drag and pull it right to z oom in, or left to zoom out.

4.5.7 Menu (No. 9)

This button opens the Menu with the Find engine, the Quick menu, the Route menu and the exit butt on that takes you to the Main menu screen. The Menu will be described in detail later: Page

4.5.8 Map orientation and Overview (No. 10)

You can view the map screens in three different presentation modes. This switch will cycle through them in the following order.

The usual map orientation for navigation is Track-up. It means iGO rotates the m ap during navigation to always face the direction of your travel. In this mode an arrow (compass) points towards North.

40.

Tap this icon to switch to North-up mode. Now the map is fixed to keep facin g North. The icon changes to show the new rotation mode.

Tap the icon again to enter Overview mode. This mode looks similar to the North-up mode with one difference: the zoom level in this mode has a fixed default to give you a better look of where you are on the map. You can change the zoom level at any time, this will not cause the Follow button to appear, but when entering Overview mode later, the default zoom level will be restored.

The arrow representing your position will be fixed in the middle of the screen. When you move the map in Overview mode, the Follow button will appear, and when pushed, it will move the map to have your current position in the middle of the map again.

You cannot rotate the map in Overview mode. This mode is strictly north-up.

You can set up iGO so that it will switch to Overview mode during navigation when the next turn is far away. You can specify this distance and the fixed zoom level of Overview in Advanced settings (Page

An aeroplane icon indicates Overview mode.

Tap the icon again to return to Track-up (automatic rotation) mode.

4.5.9 GPS position quality (No. 11)

Similarly to the icon found on the GPS Data screen (Page you about the GPS signal:

69).

26), the map screens also inform

• The black satellite dish with the red exclamation mark shows there is no

connection with the GPS receiver. GPS navigation is not possible. Devic es with a built-in GPS receiver are permanently connected, so this icon may not appear under normal circumstances.

• Red shows there is a connec tion, but the signal is too weak to give a position.

GPS navigation is not possible.

• Black shows there is a GPS position, and navigation is possible. When only one

arc is shown, the position is 2D (no altitude available), and position error may be significant, yet iGO is ready to navigate.

• A black dish and two arcs represent a 3D GPS position. iGO is ready to

navigate.

• When small car symbols are displayed under the dish, TMC information is

available.

4.5.10 Battery status (No. 12)

The status of the battery is also shown by iGO. You can estimate the available power reserve from the length of the bar inside. Some examples:

• The thunderbolt in the batt ery shows t he battery is being charged.

• Battery is not charging, but it is at full capacity .

• Battery in not full, but there is sufficient reserve capacity.

• When the inside of the battery turns red, the battery needs recharging.

4.5.11 Sound muting (No. 13)

By tapping this button you can quickly mute all sounds of the PNA. This will not modify the volume level and the enabled or disabled status of the voice guidance or the key sounds (all to be set on the Sound Settings screen: Page muting is enabled, the speaker icon is crossed out.

62), just mutes the sound output. When

Tap again to re-enable sounds.

Note: Sound can be muted in S ound settings (Page 62), too. There you have a Master switch that works together with the switch described above. There is also a Master slider on that screen. That you can use to fully turn down the volume of the device. Setting the volume low is different from muting, therefore it will not show up on the mute indicator.

4.5.12 Track Log recording/playback indicator (No. 14)

When a track log is being recorded, a red icon is displayed on the map screens. This icon also functions as a button leading to the Track Log screen (Page recording or make the track log visible on th e map.

45) where you can stop the

During track log playback a green icon will blink. Tapping this icon (in fact, tapping the screen anywhere) stops the simulation.

4.5.13 Cursor menu (No. 15)

The Cursor is the selected point on the map (marked by a red dot and radiating red circles around it), or the current GPS position when it is available and Lock -t o-Position is en abled. When you tap the screen to place the Cursor, the Cursor menu pops up automatically to give you the list of possible functio ns you can use the Cursor for. At the same time Popup Info (street name, house number and the list of POIs nearby) appears near the selected map point if Popup Info is enabled in the Quick menu (Page

If you do not use the Cursor menu in a few seconds, it will automatically vanish back to the bottom of the screen, and Popup Info disappears, too. You can have them reappear by reopening the Cursor menu using the arrow in the bottom right corner. When you open the menu manually, it will stay on until you close it or switch to another screen.

Tip: If you want to see the map around the Cursor, close the Cursor menu and reopen it. When this menu is opened manually, the map is always moved to have the cursor in the centre.

40).

The content of the Cursor menu depends on the screen (Map or Cockpit) and it is slightly different if there is an active route already planned. You have the following op tions:

• Start: use the Cursor as the departure point for your route. This menu point is available

only in Map mode and when there is no active route. In Cockpit mode the departure point of the route is always the GPS position or if it is not available, the last known GPS position.

• Route To: use the Cursor as the destination of your route. This button is to start a new

route. The previous route (if it exists) will be deleted and replaced. If a multi-point route is active, iGO will ask you whether you really want to delete it together with all its via points.

• Add Via: by in serting the selected map point as a via, you instruct iGO to cross this

location before the destination of the route. This is the way to build a multi-point route in reverse order (wh en you wish to insert a stopover ‘go to A but first get some fuel at B’ or want to influence the direct ion of the route). This menu point works only if a route is already active.

• Remove Via: removes the ‘via point’ near or at the Cursor. The route will be recalculated

immediately excluding the deleted point. This menu point replaces Add Via and is available only if the Cursor is near or at a via point.

• Continue: add a new destination to be reached after the previous destination. The new

destination replaces the old one, which is now demoted to a via point. This is the way to build your multi-point route in straight order (w hen you wish to visit several destinations ‘go to A then to B’). This menu point is available only if a route is already active.

• Pin: push a coloured pin in the map at the selected point for later use. This pin is visible

at all zoom levels and also appears in the History list together with its exact position. The colour of the pin is automatically selected by iGO.

• Unpin: remove the pin near or at the Cursor. This menu point replaces Pin and is

available only if the selected point is near or at a pin.

• POI: opens the list of POIs near the selected point. These are the POIs shown in the

Popup Info window. This menu point is only available on the Map screen. If you want to add a new POI at the cur sor, you can do so by tapping Add POI in the bottom left corner. You can also add a new road safet y camera if you tap Add Cam, and set the parameters (type, direction, and speed). If a camera already exists near the cursor, this button is inactive, and you can change the parameters of the camera by tapping it in the list.

4.5.14 Current street (No. 16)

This field of the Cockpit screen shows the name or number (as available) of the current street or road you are driving on.

Tip: Some roads have an alternative name (or number). This is normally shown together with the primary name in this field. You can hide these alternative names in Map settings (Page

62).

4.5.15 Travel and Route data (No. 17)

The contents of these three fields are different when cruising (without an active route) or navigating (following an active route).

While cruising, the fields show the present speed, the current speed limit and the time of day.

While navigating a route, these fields show the estimat ed time needed to reach the destination (ETE), the distance to destination, and the estimated arrival time at the destination (ETA) by default.

You can choose what to display in these three fields during navigation, by going to Advanced settings / Display Options (Page only restriction is that you cannot select a value that already appears in another field. The possible field contents are:

68). See the following list for your options. The

• Distance to destination (default value for the left field)

• Time to destination (estimated time en route, default value for the middle field)

• Distance to next via point

• Time to next via point

• Time to next manoeuvre (next route event)

• Spee d

• Spee d limit

• Arrival at next via point

• Arrival at destination (default value for the right field)

4.5.16 Distance to next turn (No. 18)

This field shows the distance to go before reaching the next route event (turn, roundabout, exit, etc.)

This field is only displayed when navigating a route.

4.5.17 Next street / Next settlement (No. 19)

This field shows the road or street that comes next in the route itinerary. If you are not yet in the settlement where this next street is, iGO will display the name of the

settlement instead of the name of the road or street. A bullet symbol will appear next to the name of settlements to help you tell them apart from street names.

This field is only displayed when navigating a route.

4.5.18 Approaching next turn (No. 20)

This bar is only visible when approaching the next route event. It appears on the screen to visualise the distance when you get closer than 300 meters (1000 feet) to the next turn, and it remains visible till you reach the turn.

This field is displayed only when navigating a route.

4.6 Route Information screen

The Route Information screen has all the data and some of the functions you need while you navigate. Some additional functions can be found in the Route menu (Page active route one of the buttons is inactive and route data cannot be displayed.

As a reminder, you can open this screen two ways: tapping the Info button in the Route menu (Page

51), or tapping one of the Route Data fields on the Cockpit screen.

When you open the screen, all fields contain info rmation on reaching your final destination. Tap any of the fields to see data on the via points starting from the first one through the final destination again.

4.6.1.1 Route line

The upper part of this screen shows your planned route as a horizontal line. Its leftmost point is the start of the route, the rightmost one is the final destination, and you can see your via point flags along the line, spaced in proportion to their distance.

The blue (yellow when using night colours) arrow representing your position will travel from the left to the right, giving you visual feedback of your journey.

When you reach a via point, it becomes the starting point of the route, the past will be deleted, the line with all the other via points will be modified instantly, and the arrow jumps back to the left.

When iGO needs to recalculate the route, the arrow will not jump back to the left as when reaching a via point, but it may drift a bit as t he length of the new route may be different from the previous one.

When the data corresponding to the entire route is displayed in the fields below, the line is coloured the same way as the route line shown on the map. When you see data that belongs to a via point, the route is coloured only up to that via point. The rest of the line remains grey.

4.6.1.2 Di stance Left

This value c an also be displayed in one of the Route data fields on the Cockpit screen as ‘Distance to destination’. This is the distance you nee d to travel on the route before reaching your final destination.

If via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the d istance to reach the first, second, etc. via point.

4.6.1.3 Method

This field shows how the route was calculated. It either dis plays the ‘Route’ or the ‘Vehicle’ field from the Route parameter settings. If you have chosen Car, Taxi, Bus or Lorry, the type

of the route (Fast, Short or Economical) will be displayed here; if you have selected Emergency, Bicycle or Pedestrian, this information will be displayed here.

4.6.1.4 Time Left

This is an estimated value that can also be displayed in one of the Route data fields on the Cockpit screen as ‘Time to destination’. It shows the time needed to reach the final destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route. The calculation cannot take into account traffic jams and other possible delays.

If via points exist, tap a n d tap again any of the fields to see the time needed t o reach the first, second, etc. via point.

4.6.1.5 Estimated Arrival

This is an estimated value that can also be displayed in one of the Route data fields on the Cockpit screen as ‘ETA to destination’. It shows the estimated arrival time at the final destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route. The calculation cannot take into account traffic jams and other possible delays.

If via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the estimated arrival at the first, second, etc. via point.

4.6.1.6 Destination / Via point

This field shows the exact address (or its coordinates if the address is not available) of the final destination.

If via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the add ress or coordinates of the first, second, etc. via point.

4.6.2 Warning icons

The following 5 squares are normally grey. Some of them turn red and show a graphical symbol in case warning(s) are attached to the planned route. These are warnings, so icons always show information for the whole route, even if the data fields display values from your current position to a via point only.

Click on any of the icons to show its description.

A few samples of the available icons:

• This icon shows that you need to pay toll on the recommended route.

• This icon shows that the rout e contains motorways. Tap the icon to see the total

length of the motorways in the recommended route.

• This icon shows that toll motorways are included in the recommended route.

• This icon shows that you need to board a ferry along the recommended route.

• This icon shows that you need to pay for the ferry.

• This icon is displayed when iGO could not plan a route with all your road type

preferences respected. Sometimes it is impossible to find a suitable route near the start or the destination.

• This icon warns you that iGO had to recommend a route that does not matc h all

your preferences given at the Route Parameters settings.

• The recommended route contains areas only accessible to pedestrians.

• The recommended route contains unpaved roads.

• The recommended route contains roads that require a permit or permission to

enter.

• Information – any other piece of relevant but not categorised information. Tap the

icon to see the content.

• Next page – displayed w h en more than 5 warnings apply for the recommended

route.

4.6.3 Fit to screen

Tap this button to display an overview of the whole recommended route. You will jump to the Map screen with a 2D North-up view so that you can check where the route takes you.

4.7 Menu

Tapping this button brings up a menu that allows you to access some of the most frequently used functions of iGO.

4.7.1 Find tab

The first page of the Menu is Find. It lets you select a destination without first having to locate it on the map. The Find menu will be described in detail later here: Page

47).

63) otherwise open ed from

73.

4.7.2 Quick tab

This provides quick access to some configurable options.

4.7.2.1 3D Map (switch)

When the ligh t is on, the map shows a perspective view. You can use hardware buttons 1 and 2 to change the angle of the view. When the green light is off, the map is displayed in a conventional top-down view. This 2D view is also the end of the tilt range, so it can also be accessed by tilting the map up. Conversely, 3D mode can be switched on by tilting down in 2D mode. Map view modes are described here: Page 16.

Note: When you re ach 2D view by tilting the map, Smart Zoom will tilt the map as you press the Follow button or it disappears after the timeout (set in Advanced settings) expires. Use the 3D Map toggle to permanently switch to 2D view.

Note: If the map is z oomed out so that the view angle is automatically raised to a top down view, this button will have no immediate effect. When you zoom back in, the view angle will or will not change according to the new state of the button.

4.7.2.2 Zoom & Tilt (switch)

When the light is on, additional transparent buttons (Page map screens for zooming and tilting without the use of hardware buttons.

The Tilt buttons appear only at higher zoom levels. If you zoom out, they disappear.

31) appear on the left side of the

4.7.2.3 Night Mode (switch)

Turn on or off the night colours manually to override the automatic colour scheme switching.

Note: Using this option turns off the Automatic Night Colours feature. You need to re-enable it at the General settings screen (Page 57) to have the colours change automatically again.

4.7.2.4 Manage POI (Points of Interest)

Here you can set all the parameters of POIs that you have created and the visibility of t he built-in POIs that come with the map.

Manage built-in POI visibility

The maps in iGO come with a huge number of POIs. Displaying all of them wou ld make the maps too crowded (to see how POI items are shown on the map see Page avoid that, you can decide which POI groups to show and which ones to hide on the map. iGO has a multi-level POI category system. You ca n set the visibility of the top two levels. All levels below that will be shown or hidden according to their respective category (i.e. you can set the visibility of Petrol Stations in the Services category, but all brands listed under that will either be shown or suppressed together).

Groups shown with a tick mark are visible on the map; groups without a tick mark are hidden, while the ones shown with a pal e tick mark have some of their subcategories shown and some others hidden.

If you highlight any of the POI groups, the button in the bottom left corner will become Show if the POI group is hidden, or Hide if the group is shown or partly shown.

Tip: To make a partly shown group fully shown, tap this button twice. First you will hide the whole group, and then you will have it displayed with all its subgroups.

Tapping again the highlighted POI group (except for My POI – described later) opens the list of subcategories of that group. Here you cannot see partly shown subgroups, as visibility can only be s e t for the top two levels of categories. Showing and hiding a subgroup is done the same way as for the main groups.

21). In order to

Manage My POI

By highlighting then tapping again the My POI switch on the Manage POI main screen you can manage the POI groups and items that you have created.

Note: T he group Unnamed only appears if you have previously saved a POI item without creating a new POI group for it.

Tapping any of the group names will open a list of POIs saved in that group. This list is similar to the list of POI results in Find. The POIs are ordered bas ed on their distance from your current position. If GPS position is not available or you have disabled Lock-to-Position by tapping the map, the POIs will be ordered by their distance from the Cursor.

When the My POI Groups are displayed, you have t he following options:

• Show/Hide: similarly to built-in POIs, you have the possibility to show or hide all POIs of

the selected category on the map. Groups with a tick mark are displayed; all other groups are hidden.

• New: you can create a new My POI group by tapping this button. You need to select an

icon, a name, and the maximum zoom level at which the POI is still visible on the map (provided you let the POI group be displayed at all). You do not necessarily need to create POI groups in advance. You can do it while saving a new POI.

• Delet e: you can delete any of your previously saved My POI groups. This will delete all

POIs in that group. iGO will ask you to confirm this action.

• Edit: you can edit the attributes (name, icon, visibility level) of a previously created My

POI group.

• Left/right arrows: if your groups fill several pages, these buttons will let you b rowse

through them. The green fiel d left of these buttons sho ws the current page number and the number of pages.

When the list of My POIs is displayed, you have the following options:

• Search: you can shorten the list of matching POI items by filtering. Just like in Find, enter

a few letters of the desired POI name. When the nu mber of matching items can fit in one page, iGO will automatically display the list. If you tap Done any time before this happens, you receive the list of matches on multiple pages.

• ABC/Distance: by tapping this button you can have the POIs sorted in an alphabetical

order. Tapping again will return to the distance-based order.

When you tap on any of your POIs in the list, you will open a new window with the details of the selected POI.

Here you have the following options:

• OK: if you tap this button, the map screen returns with the selected POI in the middle.

• Edit: you can edit the attributes (name, icon and group) of the selected POI.

• Delet e: you can delete any of your previously saved POIs. iGO will ask you to confirm this

action.

4.7.2.5 Popup Information (switch)

When this feature is enabled, tapping the screen (activating the Cursor, a radiating red dot) on either of the map screens also opens a pop-up box with the selected street name, house number and the name of the nearby POIs, if any.

Tip: Tapping one of the blue Information icons behind the POI names shows the details of the appropriate POI item.

4.7.2.6 Manage Track Logs

Using iGO it is also possible to save t he track logs of your journeys. This screen lets you manage all your track logs. When it comes up, it shows a list of all track logs alre ad y saved.

The original name of a track log is the date and time when it was recorded. You can change their name to something more meani ngful if you wish.

Each track log has a colour, shown to the left of its name when the track log is visible on the map. If the track is not visible, a horizontal line is shown here. Tapping the line of the highlighted track log will toggle between showing and hiding that log. The track log will be drawn on the map using the colour next to its name.

When a track log is being recorded, a new line appears in this list with a horizontal line, as newly recorded trac k logs are not shown in the map normally.

Tip: If you wish to see the track log currently being recorded, highlight its line then tap again to make it visible.

In this screen you have the following options:

• Record: this will initiate track log recording. A new line appears in the list, and GPS

position data will be saved until you stop the recording or exit iGO. A red ic on (Page is shown on the map screens to let you know that a recording is in progress. Tapping that icon opens this Track Log screen.

34)

• Stop recording: if recording is in progress, this buttons stops it.

• Info: this button opens a screen that shows the track log details, and lets you:

• change the name of the track log (Rename button),

• change the colour of the track log (Colour on the map selector),

• have it displayed on the map (Fit to screen button),

• Replay: push this button to see a simulation of the saved trac k log on the map. A green

icon (Page

34) will appear on the ma p screens to let y ou know it is a simulation only.

• Delet e: you can delete a track log if it is not needed any more. iGO will ask you to confirm

this action.

4.7.3 Route tab

This menu contains options to manage different settings in the program.

4.7.3.1 Recalculate

This menu point is only available if an active route exists and GPS position is present.

It brings up a menu with four options. Using one of these functions you can modify the current route.

Recalculate

This function repeats the route calculation based on the same settings as used to calculate previously. This possibility is typically used w he n automatic off-route recalculation is disabled. However you may consider using it when you travel on a road parallel to that recommended by the route. In this case iGO may not recalculate the route for some time , but y ou can force recalculation here. This is also the button you will most frequently us e when the window appears automatically, provided that the manual route recalculation is set

61).

(Page

Drop Next Via Point / Delete Route

You can modify the route to skip the next v ia point if you decide it is no longer needed. For example, you may have added the via point only to influence the route but you do not want to actually reach it; or you have already almost reached it, and iGO still keeps on navigating towards that point. When there are no via points left (only the destination), the name of this button turns to Delete Route, and it cancels the navigation.

Bypass

When you run into a traffic jam or roadblock, you may want to hav e iGO calculate a route that departs the original route as soon as it can. You will need to select the minimum distance along the original route where your new route is allowed to rejoin the original route. Select the one you feel appropriate for the traffic difficulty you face.

Note: This function is to give you an alternative for the next section of the recommended route. To change later parts of the route or to avoid specific streets or turns, use the Avoid function in Itinerary instead (Page

Note: When you use this feature, iGO will keep on excluding the same part of the map from later routes until you manually delete the route (Page

49).

49), or restart iGO.

Cancel

This option returns directly to the map screen without recalculating the active route. If you choose this optio n when manual route recalculation is configured (Page stops and will be activated again when you are back on your original route.

4.7.3.2 Delete

Tap Delete to erase the active route along with all its route points (start, via points and destination). If you later decide that you need the same route again, you will have to rebuild it from scratch. iGO will warn you before deleting route data.

This function has a special role if you have used the Avoid feature during your journey. When y o u arrive at your destination, the route line disappears on the map and navigation stops. The route is now practically delet ed, but if you plan a new route, the roads, manoeuvres and are as excluded from your route will also be avoided when planning the new route. Tap Delete to completely delete your previous route together with its Avoid restrictions.

Note: When a POI item is used as a route waypoint, deleting the route will not delete the POI item itself, just its role in the route.

4.7.3.3 Itinerary

This function opens the itinerary (route event list) of the active route. The Itinerary has thre e different display modes and two functions.

Display modes

Display modes are different only in the number of events displayed in the list. List items are always shown with all information available including pictograms of the needed action and distance of the event from the previous list item.

The Itinerary is live and constantly updated when navigating a route. The list item coming next in navigation is the highlighted one until you highlight another on e by tapping. After that, the highlight remains on the item you have selected.

61), navigation

• Detailed Instructions: this is the list displayed when Itinerary is opened. It is the list of

events in full detail. All signific ant junctions are shown in the list, even ones to be passed.

• Instructions: by tapping the Mode button once you will see the list of events that need

your attention, i.e. the list of manoeuvres during the route. These are the events shown in the Turn preview field and announced by the voice instructions.

• Route summary: tapping the Mode button again will show an overview of the route that

contains only the significant roads and intersections.

Show

Tap this button to see the highlighted list item on the m ap. This will help you identify route events in the list.

Avoid

Tap this button to show a list of possibilities for modifying the route. They let you recalculate the route avoiding the highlighted event and sometimes also some of the subsequent ones.

• Man oeuvre: this option avoids the highlighted action. For example if you find a turn too

difficult during rush hour traffic, iGO will recalc ula te the route excluding that turn. If the next street is important in the route, it is likely that iGO will replace the turn with several easier ones to get to the same street.

• Road: when you exclu de a road, iGO will calculate a route that does not use that road. It

is useful when you anticipate a traffic jam in a street used in your route, or a roadblock is announced on the radio, and you find that road in your Itinerary.

• Distances: you can also find some distance buttons in this list. They are similar to the

ones in the Bypass list of the Recalculate menu (Page distant parts of the route.

Note: You need not open Itinerary if you run into a roadblock or traffic jam. To get an immediate alternative route use the Bypass function of Rec al culate (Page 47).

Note: When you use this feature, iGO will keep on excluding the same part of the map from later routes until you manually delete the route (Page

4.7.3.4 Fly Over

This feature has no nav igation function , it merely provides a quick view of the route. It will present a simulation of the route showing what you will see later when navigating.

Lifelike simulation

Tap the Fly Over button. In this mode the simulation is run at normal speed (using the speed limit of the streets and

roads in the route), and voice instructions are also played.

This mode is mainly useful for demonstrating iGO, or to learn the way it works before you start your first journey.

Tap anywhere on the screen to stop the simulation.

4.7.3.5 Edit

Tap Edit to see the list of all points used in the route. The first item in the list is the departure point of the ro ute without a valid GPS position, the last reached via point if you open the list during navigation, or the point where iGO most recently recalculated the route. This means the list is permanently updated, and via points drop out during the journey. The last item in the list is your final destinat ion.

Use the arrows on the right to browse through th e list and tap any line to highlig ht it. You can perform the following operations:

• Add: you can add a new route point (or a new final destination if the

highlighted item is the last one in the list) after the selected point. The Find menu opens automatically to let you search for an address, POI, coordinates, one of your favourite destinations, or select a point from the History list. As soon as you select any of these, iGO returns to the Edit screen and your selection appears right under the highlighted line.

• Delete: you can delete the selected point from the list. If the highlighted item is

the last one in the list, the previous via point will be promoted to be the final destination.

• Optimise: you can optimise the order in which you will drive through the via

points, if there is no specific order you would like to keep. When tapping this button, iGO reorders the list instantly to save you time and fuel. Optimisation is for via points only. Your starting point and destination remain in their positions, of course.

• U p and Down: using these buttons you can reorder the list by moving

the highlighted item up or down in the list.

4.8 TMC (Traffic Message Channel)

iGO 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.

Note: TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your country or region. Ask your local dealer for coverage details.

You need a TMC receiver attached to your PNA to receive TMC information. If public TMC dat a is broadcast at your location, iGO will automatically take into account the

TMC information received. You do not need to set anything in the prog ram. The receiver will automatically search the FM r adio stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will immediately be used in route planning. The moment iGO 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-to-date traffic conditions.

The TMC subsystem can be started from the GPS Data screen (Page 25) by tapping the TMC button.

4.8.1 List of TMC messages

The main screen of the TMC section is the list of valid TMC messages ordered by their distance from your current location.

Tap the arrows to turn the page, and see traffic difficulties farther away from your current position, or press Settings to configure the TMC subsyst em. This opens a new window.

4.8.2 TMC control centre

This screen shows the selected TMC source and allows you to change the TMC settings.

4.8.2.1 Selected FM radio station

The name and frequency of the selected radio station will appear at the top of this window, together with signal strength information indicated by a bar simila r to the GPS satellite signal strength bars on the GPS Data screen.

If there are no radio stations broadcasting TMC data in your area, the receiver keeps on searching. You will see the frequency continuously sweeping across the FM CCIR radio band (87.5-108 MHz). When you move to an area with TMC information, the indicator will show the frequency, and detailed information for the TMC station.

4.8.2.2 Exclude selected station

If you wish to receive TMC data from a different radio station, push this button. The radio station will be added to the list of excluded stations, iGO will start searching for another TMC station, and will always skip the excluded station in the future.

4.8.2.3 Show excluded stations

This button opens the list of excluded radio stations. Tap any of the stations in the list, then tap Enable to allow iGO to accept TMC information from this station.

4.8.2.4 Sort events by distance / type

The list of traffic events can be ordered by their distance from the current position, or by their type. Tap this button to toggle between the two possibilities.

4.8.2.5 Use traffic information

This button is enabled by default, which means that TMC messages are used in route planning. Tap this button to have iGO ignore real-time traffic information when planning routes.

Tip: If you make a route planning for a future journey, it may b e better to turn off TMC corrected route planning.

4.8.2.6 Recalculate to avoid traffic

This setting is similar to the previous one. Disabling it will not prevent the system from using TMC data for route planning, but will not trigger an automatic recalculation when the traffic conditions change during your journey.

4.9 Road safety cameras

Road safety cameras, such as speed cameras and red light cameras are special POI types in iGO. Th e application can warn you when you approach one of these cameras. You can fine-tune this warning in General settings (Pa ge

You can save camera locations manually. It is described in detail at the Cursor menu (Page

57).

35).

Speed cameras are displayed with small camera symbols on the map.

4.9.1 Camera types

There are four types of speed cameras:

4.9.1.1 Fixed cameras

Some cameras stand by the roadside, looking in one direction, measuring one or both directions of the traffic. They measure your current s peed. For these cameras you can specify the controlled traffic direction and the speed limit. iGO wi ll warn you when you approach these cameras in the measured direction. If your speed exceeds the speed limit near the camera, a special warning sound will be played.
