1 Warnings and Safety information
M-NV is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your destination with its built-in
GPS receiver. M-NV 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 M-NV before you start your journey. Plan the
route before your departure and stop if you need to change something in the route.
You must obey the traffic signs and follow the road geometry. If you deviate from the route
that M-NV recommended, M-NV changes the instructions accordingly.
For more information, consult the End User Licence Agreement (page 74).
6
2 Getting started with M-NV
M-NV is optimised for in-car use. You can use it easily by tapping the screen buttons and the
map with your fingertips.
M-NV can plan routes throughout the whole installed map set; you do not need to change
maps or switch to a poorly detailed general map to navigate between map segments or
countries.
Tasks Instructions
Using a stylus You do not need a stylus to use M-NV. Tap the buttons and the map
with your fingertips.
Double tapping the You do not need to tap the screen twice for any action. With buttons
screen and controls, a single tap is enough.
Tapping and holding You do not need this to access the basic navigation functions. Tap
the screen and keep pressing the following buttons to reach extra functions:
• Tap and hold on the Map screen: you can set the
minimum and maximum zoom level of Smart Zoom.
7
Tasks Instructions
the Settings menu.
Gestures You do not need gestures to access the basic navigation features.
(drag&drop) You need to drag and drop the screen only in cases like:
• Moving the handle on a slider.
• Moving the map: grab the map, and move it in the desired
direction.
• Shortcut to open the Map screen: slide your finger from the
bottom right corner to the bottom left corner on any screen.
• Shortcut to open the Navigation menu: slide your finger from
the top left corner to the bottom left corner on any screen.
When M-NV is started the first time, you need to do the following:
1. Select the written language of the application interface. Later you can change it in
Settings (page 69).
2. Select the language and speaker used for voice guidance messages. Later you can
change it in Settings (page 69).
3. Read the warning message and tap Accept to continue.
After this, the Navigation menu appears and you can start using M-NV.
The typical way of using M-NV is to select a destination, and start navigating. You can select
your destination in the following ways:
• Use the selected location on the map (the Cursor) (page 27).
• Enter a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a
house number or the names of two intersecting streets (page 27).
• Enter an address with postal code (page 33). This way you do not need to select the
name of the settlement and the search for street names might be faster as well.
• Use a coordinate (page 37)
8
• Use a saved location:
• a Favourite (page 35)
• a POI (page 35)
• the History of previously set destinations and waypoints (page 37)
When you are using M-NV, you usually tap buttons on the touch screen.
You only need to confirm selections or changes in M-NV if the application needs to restart, it
needs to perform a major reconfiguration, or you are about to lose some of your data or
settings. Otherwise, M-NV saves your selections and applies the new settings without
confirmation as soon as you use the controls.

2.2.3 Lane information and Signposts
When navigating on multilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to
follow the recommended route. If lane information is available in the map data, M-NV
displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows either at the bottom or at the top of
the map (the position of these arrows can be modified in Map Screen settings). Arrows in
(Undefined variable: BrandingVariables.LaneToTake) represent the lanes you need to take.
Where there is additional information available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are
always displayed at the top of the map. The colour and style of the signposts are similar to
the real ones you can see above road or by the roadside. They show the available
destinations and the number of the road the lane leads to.
All signposts look similar when cruising (when there is no recommended route). When
navigating a route, only that signpost is displayed in vivid colours that points to the lane(s) to
be taken; all others are darkened out.

2.3 M-NV concepts
Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:
• While following a route calculated by M-NV: 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 M-NV: Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive
slowly and zoom out when you drive at high speed.
Tap the map to let the map control buttons appear, and then tap to enable 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.
When your GPS position is available, M-NV marks your current position with the icon
on the map.
The icon is aligned to the nearest road to suppress GPS position errors. The
direction of the icon is one of the directions of the route.
To use the current GPS position, tap . The Position menu appears and you can save
the GPS position as one of the following:
• a Favourite
20
• a POI
• a map marker Pin
When GPS position is available, and you have moved the map (the icon is moving or
is not even visible), or you have rotated the map in 3D mode, the button appears.
Tap it to move the map back to the GPS position and re-enable Track-up map orientation
(automatic map rotation).
Even if you move the map while you are driving, M-NV continues navigating if
there is an active route: it plays the voice instructions and displays the turn
preview icons according to your current GPS position.
Note!
If you select a location in the Find menu, or you tap the map when the map control buttons
are visible, the Cursor appears at the selected point on the map. M-NV displays the Cursor
with a radiating red dot ( ) to make it visible at all zoom levels, even when it is in the
background of a 3D map view.
When the Cursor is set, tap . The Cursor menu appears and you can use the Cursor
as one of the following:
• the start point of a route
• a via point in a route
• the destination of a route
You can also search for POIs around the Cursor.
Or you can save the location of the Cursor as:
• a Favourite
• a POI
• a map marker Pin
When the Cursor menu is open, a special icon ( ) shows the Cursor position the menu
was opened with.
21
You can move and zoom the map, and you can set the Cursor to a different place. The usual
Cursor ( ) appears, and the buttons of the Cursor menu initiate actions for this new
location.
To return to the original Cursor position, tap . The map jumps back to the position
with which the Cursor menu was opened, and the icon appears again.
M-NV 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.
M-NV 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.
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.

Cross-border Planning
M-NV automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary.
For further information about Route Planning options, see page 68.
2.3.6 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

,
Opens a screen where you can avoid a part of the route starting
from the selected manoeuvre.
24
2.3.7 Route demonstration
A simulation drives you through the route, following the driving instructions (page 39).
You can use it, for example, to see which bridge M-NV planned for the route; if you do not
want to take that bridge, you can avoid it.
Route demonstration can be started from the Route menu by tapping the button.
A point of interest (POI) is a location that someone might find useful or interesting. M-NV 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 POIs
To save a POI, place the Cursor ( ) at the desired location, then tap the following
buttons: , , .
Managing POIs
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: , , .
Maps sometimes contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. This
information may not be available for your region (ask your local dealer) or may not be fully
correct for all roads on the map.
25
You can configure M-NV to warn you if you exceed the current limit. Tap the following
buttons: , , , .
When you exceed the speed limit, the following happens:
• Visible Warning: A symbol with the speed limit appears in the corner of the map (for
example: ).
• Audible Warning: A voice message is played using the selected voice guidance profile.
M-NV offers you several ways of choosing your destination and via points (intermediate
destinations):
Use the selected location on the map (the Cursor) (page 27).
Enter a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a
house number or the names of two intersecting streets (page 27).
Enter an address with postal code (page 33). This way you do not need to select
the name of the settlement and the search for street names might be faster as well.
Use a coordinate (page 37)
Use a saved location:
a Favourite (page 35)
a POI (page 35)
the History of previously set destinations and waypoints (page 37)
26
If you are going to use a route later, save it before you start navigating. Tap
• Locate your destination on the map: move and scale the map as needed (page 12).
• Tap the location that you want to select as your destination. The Cursor ( )
appears.
• The map appears with the selected point in the middle. Tap from
the Cursor menu. The route is then automatically calculated, and you can start
navigating.
If you know that you will use a destination later, when the Cursor menu
appears, save it as a POI, or put it on the list of your Favourites first. The
Cursor menu returns automatically with the same point. Now you can use it as
a route point.
Tip!
If you know at least a part of the address, it is the quickest way to select the destination of
the route.
Using the same screen, you can find an address by entering:
1. the exact address, including house number
2. the centre of a settlement
3. an intersection
4. the midpoint of a street
5. any of the above, starting the search with the postal code (page 33)

3.1.2.5 Selecting a city centre as the destination
The City Centre is not the geometric centre of the settlement but an arbitrary point the map
creators have chosen. In towns and villages, it is usually the most important intersection; in
larger cities, it is an important intersection.
The procedure is explained starting from the Navigation menu.
To select the settlement from the list of recently used ones, tap the
button.
To enter a new settlement:

from the Cursor menu. The route is then automatically calculated, and you can start
navigating.
When you are entering the name of a settlement or a street, M-NV only displays
those characters that appear in possible search results. The other characters are
greyed out.
When entering the settlement name or the street name, tap the
button after a couple of letters; M-NV lists the items that contain the specified letters.
You can speed up finding an intersection:
34
Search first for the street with a less common or less usual name; fewer
letters are enough to find it.
If one of the streets is shorter, search for that one first. You can then find
the second one faster.
You can search for both the type and the name of a road. If the same word
appears in several names, for example in the name of streets, roads and avenues,
you can obtain the result faster if you enter the first letter of the street type: For
example, enter Pi A to obtain Pine Avenue and skip all Pine Streets and Pickwick
Roads.
You can also search in postal codes. This is useful when a street name is
common and it is used in several districts of a city.
You can select a location that you have already saved as a Favourite to be your destination.
The procedure is explained starting from the Navigation menu.
3. The map appears with the selected point in the middle. Tap from the

Multi-point routes are created from simple routes, so a route must be active first. One of the
ways of expanding the route is to keep the destination, and to add via points (intermediate
destinations).
1. Select a new location as you did in the previous sections. This will be the additional
destination in the route.
2. The map appears with the selected point in the middle, and the Cursor menu opens
automatically.
37
3. Tap to add the point as an intermediate destination preceding the
final destination of the route.
4. [optional] To add more points to the route, repeat the above steps as many times as
you like.
If you insert a via point in a route that is already a multi-point route, you will automatically be
taken to the Edit Route screen where you can determine the position of the intermediate
route point. When you enter the screen, the new via point is placed as the last via point
before the final destination. The new point is the selected point in the list.
You have the following options:
Button Action
The selected point moves up in the list (becomes a via point to be reached
earlier). Tap this button repeatedly, and the point becomes the start point of the
route.
The selected point moves down in the list (becomes a via point to be reached
later). Tap this button repeatedly, and the point becomes the final destination of
the route.
The route is reversed. The start point becomes the destination, the destination
becomes the start point, and all via points are to be reached in the opposite
order than before.
The route is optimised. The start point and the destination remain at their
position, but the via points are reordered to make the shortest possible route.
The selected point is removed from the route. The route remains as it was
before adding the new point.
Every time a new point is added, the route is recalculated automatically, and you can start
navigating right away.
Multi-point routes are created from simple routes, so a route must be active first. One of the
ways of expanding the route is to add a new destination. The previous destination becomes
the last via point of the route.

4.1 Map screen
M-NV is primarily intended for land navigation. That is why maps in M-NV look similar to
paper road maps. However, M-NV provides much more than regular paper maps: you can
customise the look and the content of the map.
The most important and most often used screen of M-NV is the Map screen.
During navigation, the screen shows route information and trip data (left screenshot), but
when you tap the map, additional buttons and controls appear for a few seconds (right
screenshot). Most parts of the screen behave as buttons.

information they provide is as follows:
• GPS position quality
• Sound status (muted or enabled)
This area is a status indicator, and also acts as a button that opens the Quick menu.
GPS reception quality shows the current accuracy of the position information.

Route colour The route always stands out with its colour on the
map, both in daytime and in night colour mode.
The active leg of the route is always displayed in
a brighter shade than the inactive (upcoming)
legs.
Active leg of the route The section of the route on which you are driving.
If you have not added any via points (only a
destination), the entire route is the active leg. If
you have added via points, the active leg is the
part of the route from your current location to the
next route point (the next via point, or the
destination if there are no more via points to
reach).
Inactive legs of the route The future sections of the route; each of them
becomes active when you reach the via point at

Type Description
Motorways You might need to avoid motorways when you are driving a slow car or
you are towing another vehicle.
Unpaved roads M-NV excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved roads can be in a
bad condition and usually you cannot reach the speed limit on them.
Toll roads By default M-NV includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a per-use
charge) in the routes. If you disable toll roads, M-NV plans the best toll-
free route.
68
Type Description
Charge roads Charge roads are pay roads where you can purchase a pass or
vignette to use the road for a longer period of time. They can be
enabled or disabled separately from toll roads.
Permit needed You might need a permit or permission from the owners to use certain
roads or to enter certain areas. M-NV excludes these roads from the
route calculation by default.
Ferries M-NV includes ferries in a planned route by default. However, a map
does not necessarily contain information about the accessibility of
temporary ferries. You might also need to pay a fare on ferries.
Cross-border In some cases the route calculated according to your other navigation
planning and route preferences would lead through another country. If you wish
to always stay within the same country, turn this option off.
Option Description
Fast Gives the quickest possible route if you can travel at or near the speed
limit on all roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars.
Short Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes
between the route points. Usually practical for slow vehicles.
Economical Combines the benefits of Fast and Short: M-NV calculates as if it were
calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads as well to save fuel.
Easy Results in a route with fewer turns. With this option, you can make M-
NV to take, for example, the motorway instead of series of smaller
roads or streets.

Button Description
Warn When Speeding Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road
segments. M-NV is able to warn you if you exceed the current
limit. This information may not be available for your region (ask
your local dealer), or may not be fully correct for all roads in the
map. This setting lets you decide whether you wish to receive
the warnings. You can set the relative speeding level at which
the application warns you (100% represents the current speed
limit):
• In Built-up Areas: in cities and towns
• Elsewhere: at all other locations
There are two types of warnings. You can turn them on or off
independently:
• Audible Warning: A voice message is played using the
selected voice guidance profile.
• Visible Warning: A symbol with the speed limit appears in

5 Glossary
The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (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. You can save and load routes in M-NV, but only one route
can be active at any given time, and it is always active until you delete it, reach your
destination or you quit M-NV. See also: Route.
City Centre
The City Centre is not the geometric centre of the settlement but an arbitrary point the map
creators have chosen. In towns and villages, it is usually the most important intersection; in
larger cities, it is an important intersection.
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.
Map
M-NV works with digital maps which are not simply the computerised versions of traditional
paper maps. Similarly to the paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps show you
streets, roads, and elevation is also shown by colours. In 3D mode, you can see the altitude
differences, for example valleys and mountains, elevated roads, and in selected cities 3D
landmarks and 3D buildings are also displayed.
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 turn them left and right. In GPS-supported
navigation, digital maps facilitate route planning.
In North-up mode the map is rotated so its top always faces North. This is the orientation in
2D map view mode and in Overview mode. See also: Track-up map orientation.
72
Overview mode
You can instruct M-NV to automatically switch to Overview mode if the next route event is in
a distance. In Overview mode the map is shown in 2D but scaled down to a predefined zoom
level. When you approach the next route event, the previous 2D or 3D map view returns
automatically.
Route
A series of destinations to be reached one after the other. A simple route contains one start
point and only one destination. Multi-point routes contain one or more via points
(intermediate destinations). The last route point is the final destination and the route is cut
into different legs (from one destination to the next).
Scheme
M-NV comes with different colour schemes for the map for daytime or night use. Schemes
are custom graphic settings for the map and they can have different colours for streets,
blocks or surface waters in 2D and 3D modes, and they display shades or shadows in
different ways in 3D mode.
One daytime scheme and one night scheme is always selected. M-NV uses them when it
switches from day to night and back.
In Track-up mode the map is rotated so its top always points in the current driving direction.
This is the default orientation in 3D map view mode. See also: North-up map orientation.
