Use this product prudently. The product is intended to be used only as a navigation aid. It is not for precise measurement of direction, distance, location or topography. The calculated route is for reference only. It is the user's responsibility to follow the traffic signs and local regulations along the roads. When you get off the car, do not leave your Pocket PC on the dashboard that is subject to direct sunlight. The overheating of the battery can cause malfunction and/or danger. GPS is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for the performance of GPS. Any change to the GPS system can affect the accuracy of all GPS equipments. GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass). When you are inside a tunnel or building, GPS positioning is not available. A minimum of 4 GPS satellite signals is needed to determine current GPS position. Signal reception can be affected by situations such as bad weather or dense overhead obstacles (e.g. trees and tall buildings). iv English About This Manual This manual assumes that you are familiar with basic Pocket PC operations. If not, refer to the User's Manual of your Pocket PC and familiarize yourself with the basic operations. This manual contains the following chapters: Chapter 1, Mio Map Installation, guides you through the installation process. Chapter2, Mio Map Overview, introduces the features of Mio Map, tells you how to start Mio Map, and provides a quick glance of the screen elements. Chapter 3, Basic Navigation, gets you started with the navigation function. Chapter 4, More Navigation Features, provides information on advanced navigation features. Chapter 5, Changing Map Views, introduces the ways you can view the map. Chapter 6, Options, Settings, and Preferences, tells you how to customize Mio Map for your personal likes and needs. Chapter 7, Using Mio Map Console, gives information on the Mio Map Console features such as cut map and find map. v English Terminology Get familiar with some terminology used by Mio Map and you are ready to start. GPS GPS (Global Positioning System) is a "constellation" of 24 well-spaced satellites that orbit the Earth and make it possible for vehicles/people/assets enabled with GPS receivers to pinpoint their location. Route is a course calculated by Mio Map, starting from the origin to the destination. Origin is your starting point for a route. It is either your GPS position or a location selected by you on the map. Destination is your end point for a route. Destinate is the command that you use to select a location on the Route Origin Destination Destinate Navigation Navigate Navigation mode vs. Planner mode map. There are several ways you can select a location. Navigation is the process where Mio Map leads you from your origin to your destination. Navigate is the command that you use, after determining the origin and destination, to calculate a route and start navigation. Mio Map can operate in either of the two modes: Navigation Mode This is the default mode of operation. In this mode, GPS positioning is on. A blue route with moving arrow shows your progress. Planner Mode In this mode, GPS positioning is off. Mio Map displays planned calculated routes, but not your progress. vi English 1 Mio Map Installation The Mio Map installation process includes two to three parts: first, installing the Mio Map Console on your desktop computer; second, installing Mio Map to your Pocket PC (for models without pre-installed Mio Map); and third, installing the map(s) to your Pocket PC.
