From now on MioMap, your navigation system, will guide you, based on satellite information, quickly and safely to your destination. The Global Positioning System (GPS) has originally been developed in the 70ies, as a weapon guidance system for the American forces. The GPS is based on 24 satellites, which are in orbit round the earth and which are permanently emitting signals. The GPS receiver receives these signals and calculates, based on the runtime of the signals, his distance from the respective satellites. This information serves for calculation your current geographic position. The signals of at least three satellites are needed to determine the longitude and the latitude. With the signals of at least four satellites the elevation may be calculated, too. The determination has an accuracy of about 3 yards. GPS-based navigation Navigation with GPS The delivered maps contain the geographic coordinates of the points of interest, streets and towns they represent. Thus the navigation system can calculate a route from a given start point to a given destination point. In case your navigation system receives the signals of at least three satellites it may determine your current position and represent it on the map. This position may then serve as start point for navigation purposes. As the determination and representation of your position is carried out once a second, you may watch your movements on the map. Introduction -6- User's manual MioMap 1.6 Note Important safety information In your own interest, read the following notices and safety information carefully before starting up your navigation system. 1.6.1 Safety information on navigation Use of MioMap is executed at your our risk. Caution: To protect yourself and others from accidents, do not program the navigation system while driving. Enter or select your destination and activate the navigation system before you begin to drive! Caution: Do not look at the display unless it is absolutely safe to do so! Safe driving is the first priority! Caution: The rules of the road and traffic signs must be obeyed prior to following instructions from the navigation system. Caution: Do not follow the instructions of MioMap unless circumstances and the road traffic regulations allow doing so. MioMap will guide you to your destination even when you have gone off course from your route. Note: If you have not understood the instructions or if you are not sure about what to do next, use caution and view the display or arrow view of your navigation system. Do this in safe circumstances only. Introduction -7- User's manual MioMap 1.6.2 Safety information on handling MioMap Caution: As it is not waterproof, do not expose your GPS receiver to water! For example, protect it from rain, snow or hail when you are on your way by bike or on foot. Caution: MioMap should be disconnected from power supply while your car is parking. As its internal GPS receiver spends energy permanently you might risk discharging the car battery. Note: Do not use any harsh solvents for cleaning MioMap. A damp, lint-free cloth ...
