 Introduction

First things first: thanks for buying Mireo DON’T PANIC. We appreciate
your business and commend you on your choice. We put a lot of thought
and effort into making a great smart phone navigation app, and you
immediately recognized it as the masterpiece that it is… or you just
saw the price tag and said, “Wow! That’s super cheap for an on‑board,
turn‑by‑turn navigation app! Gimme! Gimme!” Either way, you’re here now,
reading the user manual to figure out how to use the app.
So, without further ado, let’s get started!

Mireo DON'T PANIC User Manual
Shorthand

Tappable Items
Tappable items will appear in red throughout the manual.

Arrows ➞
Take Me Home ➞ Cancel Current Route ➞ Yes. You’ll see sentences like
these in Part 2 of the User Manual. This shortened formulation represents
much lengthier instructions that tell you to open multiple nested screens
in sequence, i.e., “Tap the Take Me Home button. On the following screen,
tap Cancel Current Route. On the screen after that, tap Yes.”

2
 Quick Start
Simple Search and Navigation

You’ve downloaded and started the app and want to get to a certain
address. Here’s a quick, super-basic way to start navigating immediately.

Finding and Navigating to a Destination

➊ Tap the Search button (✍) on the Control Bar. ➋ Enter the address in
the What field. ➌ Tap the Get Search Results button. ➍ Tap on the Search
Result. ➎ Tap Navigate To and you will be automatically guided from your
present GPS location to your selected destination.

Getting Started

Or: What the Heck Do All These

Icons, Buttons and Fields Mean?
At this point you’ve probably already opened the app, eagerly tapped
several buttons and are now staring blankly at a bunch of unfamiliar icons.
Relax. This is the part where we show you what all the nifty little buttons,
icons, bars and fields mean. We’ll also go through and define some basic
terminology (with pictures!) to make things easier to understand.

it's combined with the Control Bar along the bottom of the screen.

✷ The GPS Signal Strength Indicator. This displays your smart

phone’s or PND's GPS signal strength. Three yellow bars indicate
the maximum GPS signal strength (within a 5 meter accuracy).
Fewer yellow bars indicate a progressively weaker, less accurate, GPS
signal. Three red bars indicate the absence of a usable GPS signal.

The Current Speed indicator. This icon indicates your vehicle’s

current speed.

The Clock Display. This one shows you the current time.

✏ The Battery Level Indicator. It lets you know your smart phone’s
current battery level. An electrical plug inside the icon (✓) indicates
that the battery is being charged. A lightning bolt inside it (✒) lets
you know the battery is fully charged. A red battery icon ( ) warns
you that you’re nearly empty. A completely dark screen probably
means you forgot to charge your battery last night!
