1 Warnings and Safety information

The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS
receiver. iGO primo does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.

If  you  accept  it  when  first  using  the  application,  iGO  primo  collects  usage  information  and
GPS  logs  that  may  be  used  for  improving  the  application  and  the  quality  and  coverage  of
maps.  The  data  is  processed  anonymously;  no  one  will  be  able  to  track  any  personal
information.  If  you  change  your  mind  later,  you  can  enable  or  disable  the  log  collection  in
Settings (page 114).

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 iGO primo before you start your journey. Plan
the route before your departure and stop if you need to change the route.

You must obey the traffic signs and follow the road geometry. If you deviate from the
recommended route, iGO primo changes the instructions accordingly.

Never place [DEVICE] where it obstructs the driver's view, where it is in the deployment zone
of an airbag or where it might cause injuries in an accident.

For more information, consult the End User Licence Agreement (page 117).

MG Motor UK Ltd

2 Getting started

iGO primo is optimised for in-car or pedestrian use. There is no need to use a stylus. You can
use it easily by tapping the screen buttons and the map with your fingertips.

When using the navigation software for the first time, an initial setup process starts
automatically. Do as follows:

Select the written language of the application interface. Later you can change it in
Regional settings (page 112).

Read the End User Licence Agreement. Tap

to continue.

You are now asked whether you allow the software to collect usage information and
GPS logs that may be used for improving the application and the quality and coverage

of maps. Tap

to allow the anonymous statistics or disable this

function. Later you can turn them on or off individually in Log collection settings (page
114).

The Configuration wizard starts. Tap

to continue.

Select the language and speaker used for voice guidance messages. Later you can
change it in Sound and Warnings settings (page 112).

MG Motor UK Ltd

If needed, modify the time format and unit settings. Later you can change them in
Regional settings (page 112).

If needed, modify the default route planning options. Later you can change them in
Route settings (page 104).

2.3 Map screen

2.3.1 Navigating on the map

The Map screen is the most frequently used screen of iGO primo.

A small live map is displayed on the Navigation menu, as a part of the
button.

To enlarge this small map and open the Map screen, tap

This map shows the current position (the Vehimarker, a blue arrow by default), the
recommended route (an orange line), and the surrounding map area.

When there is no GPS position, the Vehimarker is transparent. It shows your last known
position.

You see coloured dots circling around a satellite symbol in the top left corner. The more green
dots you see, the closer you are to get the valid GPS position.

When GPS position is available, the Vehimarker is displayed in full colour, now showing your
current position.

There are screen buttons and data fields on the screen to help you navigate. During
navigation, the screen shows route information.

The

button gives quick access to frequently used functions. You can change the

available functions in Settings.

By default, only one data field is displayed in the bottom right corner. Tap this field to see all
route data fields. Tap any of the data fields to suppress others and display only the selected
one.

MG Motor UK Ltd

The data fields are different when you are navigating an active route and when you have no
specified destination (the orange line is not displayed).

Default data fields when cruising without a destination (tap and hold any of the fields to
change its value):

Field

Description

Shows your current speed given by the GPS receiver.

Shows the speed limit of the current road if the map contains it.

Shows the current time corrected with time zone offset. The accurate
time comes from the GPS satellites, and the time zone information
comes from the map or it can be set manually in Regional settings.

(The current time is always displayed in the top left corner of menu
screens.)

Default data fields when navigating a route (tap and hold any of the fields to change its value):

Field

Description

Shows the distance you need to travel on the route before reaching
your final destination.

Shows the time needed to reach the final destination of the route
based on information available for the remaining segments of the
route.

If [DEVICE] is capable of receiving live traffic information, the
calculation takes into account traffic delays affecting your route if they
are received. However, this calculation is rarely accurate.

Historical traffic data can also be taken into account if data is
available.

Shows the estimated arrival time at the final destination of the route
based on information available for the remaining segments of the
route.

Historical traffic data can also be taken into account if data is
available.

MG Motor UK Ltd

2.3.2 Position markers

2.3.2.1 Vehimarker and Lock-on-Road

When your GPS position is available, iGO primo marks your current position with the
Vehimarker. By default, this marker is a blue arrow, but you can change this icon in Settings.

The exact location of the Vehimarker depends on the vehicle type used for route calculation
and the navigation mode. Both can be set in Route settings (page 104).

x If you choose pedestrian and/or off-road navigation: The Vehimarker is at your exact

GPS position. The direction of the icon shows your current heading.

x In all other cases: The Vehimarker may not show your exact GPS position and

heading. If roads are near, it is aligned to the nearest road to suppress GPS position
errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of the road.

2.3.2.2 Selected map location (Cursor) and selected map object

You can mark a map location in the following ways:

x  Tap the map when navigating,
x  Tap the map when you are asked to confirm the destination at the end of a search, or
x  Tap the map in Find on Map (page 58)

When a map location is selected, the Cursor appears at the selected point on the map. The

Cursor is displayed with a radiating red dot (

) to make it visible at all zoom levels.

The location of the Cursor can be used as the destination of the route, a new alert point, you
can search for Places around it, or you can save this location as one of your Favourite
destinations.

You can also select some of the objects on the map. If you tap the map at the icon of a Place
of Interest or an alert point, the object will be selected (you see a red circling border around
the object), and you can get information about this object or use it as a route point.

2.3.3 Objects on the map

2.3.3.1 Streets and roads

iGO primo shows the streets in a way that is similar to how the paper road maps show them.
Their width and colours correspond to their importance: you can easily tell a motorway from a
small street.

MG Motor UK Ltd

2.3.3.2 Turn preview and Next street

When navigating a route, the top section of the Map screen shows information about the next
route event (manoeuvre) and the next street or the next city/town.

There is a field in the top left corner that displays the next manoeuvre. Both the type of the
event (turn, roundabout, exiting motorway, etc.) and its distance from the current position are
displayed.

A smaller icon shows the type of the second next manoeuvre if it is near the first one.
Otherwise, only the next manoeuvre is displayed.

Most of these icons are very intuitive. The following table lists some of the frequently shown
route events. The same symbols are used in both fields:

Icon

Description

Turn left.

Turn right.

Turn back.

Bear right.

Turn sharp left.

Keep left.

Continue straight in the intersection.

Go left on the roundabout, 3rd exit (next
manoeuvre).

Enter roundabout (second next manoeuvre).

MG Motor UK Ltd

Enter motorway.

Exit motorway.

Board ferry.

Leave ferry.

Approaching a waypoint.

Approaching the destination.

2.3.3.3 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,  iGO  primo
displays  the  lanes  and  their  directions  using  small  arrows  at  the  bottom  of  the  map.
Highlighted arrows represent the lanes and direction you need to take.

Where additional information is available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are
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 the signpost that points to the lane(s) to be taken is displayed in vivid
colours; all others are darker.

If you want to hide the currently displayed signposts, tap any of them and the normal Map
screen returns until new signpost information is received.
