  • Page 9: General Information

    2 General information MioMap 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. MioMap is capable of planning routes throughout the whole map region installed on the memory card. Unlike some other products, MioMap does not require that you change maps or switch to a poorly detailed general map to navigate between map segments or countries.

  • Page 10: Operating Miomap (Controls)

    3.1.1 Power on/off Use this button to turn the power of the Mio DigiWalker C710 on or off any time. If the device power is turned off while MioMap is running, when you turn the device back on, MioMap will continue the navigation as soon as the built-in GPS determines the location again.

  • Page 11: Screen Buttons And Controls

    3.2 Screen buttons and controls The primary input channel of MioMap 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 functions by tapping. Below you will find a list of the most frequently used controls in the program.

  • Page 12: Switches

    If the value limits are not displayed at the ends of the slider, the leftmost position means the 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.

  • Page 13: Qwerty-Type Keyboards

    The alphabetic keyboards in MioMap 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 MioMap will search for all their combinations in the database (e.g.
