When in a route, your road sign is brighter than the others. 8 get started MOTONAV Software User s Guide

11 3D object types Your software supports these 3D object types: 3D terrain 3D terrain maps shows changes in terrain, elevations, or depressions in the land when you view a 2D map or plot a route in 3D. 3D maps show hills and mountains in the background;, 2D maps show them in color and shading. Elevated roads Complicated intersections, overpasses, and bridges appear in 3D. 3D landmarks Landmarks are 3D artistic or block representations of prominent or well-known sights. 3D landmarks may not be part of the original software or may need activation. They are only available in selected cities and countries. Visit for details. 3D buildings You may be able to see block representation of full 3D city building data containing actual building size and position on the map. Building data is not part of the original software, and it is limited to the city centers of major cities. Visit for details. active route map When in a route, your map shows these elements: Current GPS position & start point Your current position on the map (in either pedestrian or vehicle mode). If GPS position is available, the route starts from the current position. If not, your software uses your last known position as the start point. Destination The end point of the route. Map color The map is vivid and colorful when GPS position is available. If not, the map is appears gray. (The software may still move the Vehimarker to show a possible but not confirmed position.) Route color The route always stands out on the map, in both daytime and night color modes. Streets & road types normally excluded from your route You can choose whether to avoid certain road types (see page 27). However, when your route cannot avoid them, it includes them but shows them in a different color from your route color.

After you enter a couple of letters, tap LIST to see the items with those letters. finding an intersection: Search first for the street with a less common name because you can type fewer letters to find it. Search for the shorter street first because it will have fewer intersecting streets to choose from. You can search for the name of a road and the kind of road it is at the same time. For example, typing PI A helps you find Pine Avenue and skips Pine Street and Pickle Road. go to points-of-interest (POIs) go to a specific site or just meander select a point-of-interest by using quick search Step 1 From the Map screen, tap MENU. Step 2 From the Navigation menu, tap DESTINATION, then FIND PLACES. Note: If you are in an active route, the MOTONAV software searches for places along the route.

32 more details Some handy concepts to know...along with the basics Smart Zoom Your MOTONAV software provides Smart Zoom, which is more automatic zoom feature: In a route When approaching a turn, the screen zooms in and raises the view angle to let you easily see your next maneuver. If the next turn is far away, the map zooms out and flattens the view so you can see the road in front of you. Not in a route The screen zooms in if you drive slowly and zooms out when you drive faster. route calculation & recalculation Your software calculates the route based on your preferences. These are the settings you change to suit your needs (see page 34): Route planning methods Vehicle types Road types Your software automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary. Depending on the type of the Traffic event, your software also recalculates the route if a Traffic event affects a part of the recommended route. speed limit warnings Maps sometimes contain information about a road s speed limits. This information may not be available for your region (ask your local dealer) or may not be absolutely correct for all roads on the map. Always pay attention to actual road signs for changes. A speed limit symbol appears in the corner of the map. When you exceed the speed limit, the symbol changes its color. Also, you can turn on a voice warning when you exceed the speed limit: Step 1 From the Map screen, tap MENU, then tap MORE. Step 2 Tap Sounds & Warnings, then tap Warn When Speeding. 30 more details MOTONAV Software User s Guide

33 Traffic TMC (Traffic Message Channel) basics Your software can provide you with even better routes when it uses Traffic Message Channel (TMC) information. TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information. Note: TMC may not be available in your country or region. Ask your local dealer for coverage details. Your Motonav application contains the TMC receiver that is needed to receive Traffic events. If Traffic information is available at your location, the software automatically uses the traffic updates it receives. You do not need to set anything in the program. The receiver automatically searches the FM radio stations for TMC data and uses the information in route planning. The moment your software 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. An icon appears on the map to show you when traffic events are received. The icon shows the status of the traffic receiver when there are no traffic events on your route; otherwise it shows the next traffic on your route. Road segments affected by traffic events are displayed with an alternate color on the map, and small symbols above the road show the nature of the event. If you re new to using a navigational device or a touch screen, here are the basics. buttons & screen controls To use most MOTONAV features, just tap the screen. buttons Tap once.

41 glossary 2D/3D GPS reception The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate your position and needs at least four signals to give a three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are moving and because objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four signals. If three satellites are available, the receiver can calculate the horizontal GPS position but the accuracy is lower and the GPS device does not give you elevation data: only 2D reception is possible. Active route The currently navigated route. When you set a destination, the route is active until you delete it, reach your destination, or exit the software. See also: Route. City center The city or town center is not the exact center of an area. In towns, it is usually the most important intersection; in larger cities, it is one of the important intersections. Color theme Your software comes with different color themes for daytime or night use. Themes are custom graphic settings that can have different colors for streets, blocks or surface waters in 2D and 3D modes. They also display shades or shadows in 3D mode. One daytime scheme and one night scheme is always selected for the map and for the menus. The software switches between them depending on the time. GPS accuracy Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position and the one given by the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting objects near the GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can calculate your position. 39 glossary MOTONAV Software User s Guide

42 Map The software works with digital maps which are more than just the computerized versions of traditional paper maps. Similar to the paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps show you streets, roads, and elevation is also shown by colors. In 3D mode, you can see the altitude differences, such as valleys and mountains, elevated roads, and in selected cities you can see 3D landmarks and 3D buildings. You can use digital maps interactively: you can zoom in and out (increase or decrease the scale); you can tilt them up and down, and rotate them left and right. In GPS-supported navigation, digital maps facilitate route planning.

Road Safety Camera A special type of point-of-interest for speed cameras and red light cameras. You can configure the software to warn you when you approach one of these cameras. Detecting the location of Road Safety Cameras is prohibited in certain countries. It is the sole responsibility of the driver to check whether this feature can be used during the trip.
