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).

2.5 Nav N Go iGO 8 concepts
2.5.1 Smart Zoom
Smart Zoom is a lot more than just a usual automatic zoom:
While following a route calculated by Nav N Go iGO 8: when approaching a turn, it
will zoom in and raise the view angle to let you easily 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 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.
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.
2.5.2 Position markers
2.5.2.1 Current 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).

2.5.3 Daytime and night colour schemes
Nav N Go iGO 8 uses different colour schemes during the day and during the night.
Daytime colours are similar to paper road maps.
The night colour schemes use dark colours for large objects to keep the average
brightness of the screen low.
Nav N Go iGO 8 offers different daytime and night colour 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 Colour scheme in tunnels
When entering a tunnel, the colours 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 colours from the daytime or night colour scheme currently used.
After leaving the tunnel, the original colours return.
2.5.5 Route calculation and recalculation
Nav N Go iGO 8 calculates the route based on your preferences:
Route calculation method:

Nav N Go iGO 8 automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary.
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 manoeuvre is displayed (for example
In Advanced mode, tap the following buttons:

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

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