layout of lanes only. The road signs are created from road shield, road number and
destination information received in the map data:

Type

Description

3D terrain

3D terrain map data shows changes in terrain, elevations or depressions in
the land when you view the map in 2D, and use it to plot the route map in
3D when you navigate. Hills and mountains are shown in the background of
the 3D map, and illustrated by colour and shading on the 2D map.

Elevated roads

Complex intersections and vertically isolated roads (such as overpasses or
bridges) are displayed in 3D.

3D landmarks

Landmarks are 3D artistic or block representations of prominent or well-
known objects.

3D buildings

3D block representation of full city building data containing actual building
size and position on the map.

Current GPS position and
Start point

Your current position displayed on the map.

x In pedestrian mode it is the exact GPS

position.

x If a vehicle is selected for route calculation

and roads are near, the symbol is snapped

reaching the final destination.

Destination (end point)

The final destination of the route.

Route colour

The route always stands out with its colour on the
map, both in daytime and in night colour mode.

avoid certain road types (page 104). However,
when iGO primo cannot avoid such roads, the
route will include them and it will show them in a
colour that is different from the route colour.

Streets and roads that are
affected by traffic events

Road segments may be affected by traffic events
received. These streets and roads are displayed
in an alternate colour, and small symbols
displayed along the route show the type of the
traffic event.

2.3.6 Checking the details of the current position (Where Am I?)

This screen contains information about the current position (or about the last known position if
GPS reception is not available) and a button to search for useful Places nearby.

You can access this screen from the map in one of the following ways:

x If the current street is displayed below the Vehimarker (the current position on the

map), tap it to open the Where Am I? screen.

x Open the Quick menu and tap the

button.

Information on this screen:

: Latitude and Longitude (coordinate of the current position in WGS84

format).

inaccurate).

: House number on the left.

: House number on the right.

3 On-road navigation

When first started, iGO primo calculates routes using the road network of the high quality
vector maps provided with the product.

You can set up your route in different ways:

x If you need a route for immediate navigation, you can select the destination and start

navigating to it right away (normal navigation).

x You can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position or even without

GPS reception. To achieve this you need to set a new starting point in My Route / Edit
Route by tapping the flag icon at the current position. This will also turn off the GPS
receiver so that the route is not recalculated when a new position is received.

You can plan routes with multiple destinations. Select the first destination. Then select a
second destination and add it to your route to create a multi-point route. You can add as
many destinations to your route as you like.

You can also use iGO primo for off-road navigation. For details, see page 80.

3.1 Selecting the destination of a route

iGO primo offers you several ways of choosing your destination:

x 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 37).

x Enter an address with postal code (page 43). This way you do not need to select the

name of the city/town and the search for street names might be faster as well.

x  Use a built-in Place of Interest as your destination (page 46).
x  Select a location on the map with the Find on Map feature (page 58).
x  Use a previously saved Favourite destination (page 59).
x  Select a location from the History of previously used destinations (page 61).
x  Enter the coordinate of the destination (page 62).
x  Use the location where a photo was taken (page 63).

3.1.1 Combined Search

There  are  several  ways  to  select  the  destination  of  the  route.  You  can  find  buttons  in  the
Destination  menu  that  initiate  a  separate  search  for  addresses,  Places,  Favourite  or  recent
destinations.  The  fastest  way  to  search  for  any  of  these  is  to  use  the  Combined  Search.  In
this  section  you  can  find  the  full  description  of  how  this  feature  works.  The  below  process
shows  how  to  carry  out  the  search  and  the  following  subsections  will  help  you  find  specific
kinds of results.

In the Navigation menu, tap

First you see hints on the screen showing how you can use the function. These hints
are only displayed the first time you use this screen.

MG Motor UK Ltd

Tap anywhere and the hints disappear. Once you get through this screen to the search
results, the hint will not appear again when you open this window later but you can see
them again if you tap the information button on the right side of the input field.

You can see the input field at the top of the screen. Right below that you see the
search area, the city/town around which the search is carried out. The default search
area is the area where you are located. For a local search, skip the next step.

(optional) To search in a different area, do as follows:

Tap

. A new screen opens with a new input field. A hint

bubble explains how you can specify the new search centre.

Tap anywhere and the hint disappears. If you successfully select a new search
area, the hint will not appear again when you open this window later but you can
see it again if you tap the information button on the right side of the input field.

Start entering the centre of the new search area using the screen keyboard. You
only need to enter a few letters to get a result. If the new search area is in a
different country, you can narrow the search results if you enter one space and
then a few letters of the country of the search area.

The most likely result appears below the input field as you enter new letters.
Tap to select this as your new search area. If you cannot see your preferred

area after a few letters, tap

and select one from the list.

With the proper search area displayed, you can start entering the name, address or
category of the destination you are looking for. The number shown in the

button shows how many results match the entered text. The

background search is carried out while you enter letters so this number may keep on
increasing if you wait a few seconds. Keep on entering new letters while this number is
high.

MG Motor UK Ltd

Once the number of results is acceptable after a few seconds of searching, you can

tap

to switch to the result screen.

The result screen also opens with hints. Tap anywhere to suppress them. Once you
select a destination, they will not appear again.

You see all results in the list, regardless of their type. Addresses, Places, Place
categories, Favourite and recent destinations are mixed within one list.

10. You have the following options:

x Tap the result you want to use as your destination. Scroll the list if necessary.
x To narrow the search for only one type of result (for example for Places only)

you can tap the related button at the top of the screen. See the next sections for
details.

x Tap the

button and the new search will start for the same input text using

the Google Local Search facility. Wait for the result, and select one item from
the list.

11. Once the destination is selected, a full screen map appears with the selected point in

the middle. If necessary, tap the map somewhere else to modify the destination. The

Cursor (

) appears at the new location. Tap

to confirm the

destination, or tap

to select a different destination.

route. The route is automatically calculated. Tap

to modify route

parameters, or tap

and start your journey.
