Tap

There is one Default Lorry profile at the end of the list. You can either:

x tap the

button at the Default Lorry profile or

x create a new profile by tapping

then

and selecting Lorry as the vehicle type.

The list of vehicle profile parameters appear. Scroll the list and tap any of the lines to
change the parameters. The parameters are intuitive. In addition, you have the
following options:

: When enabled, the list of vehicle parameters always

appears before route calculation. This helps you quickly adjust the parameters
when some of them (the actual weight for instance) often change.

: When selecting lorry as the vehicle type, U-turns are

disabled from routes as much as possible. With this button you can even forbid
turning back on divided roads.

When finished with the vehicle parameters:

x tap

if you have modified an existing vehicle profile or

x tap

if you have created a new profile.

While this profile is selected, the parameters of your vehicle are taken into account when
planning routes. Note that this leads to a safe route for your lorry only if map data contains the
weight, height, etc. restrictions of the road network in your area.

MG Motor UK Ltd

Tip!

Speed limits for lorries may not be available for all roads. It is advised to enter
the maximum allowed speed in your area for your vehicle instead of the
maximum speed your lorry is capable of.

Tip!

When you often use your vehicle with typical configurations of parameters (for
example with or without a trailer that also affects the length, the height, the
number of axles and the weight), it is better to create different vehicle profiles
for the typical setups and change between the profiles instead of always
modifying parameters.

5.2 Setting up waiting time at waypoints

In order to receive a better arrival time estimation and to be able to use time restrictions and
statistical traffic information for future legs of the route, you can enable this feature and
specify a waiting time for each stop on your route.

If you enable the feature as described below, the application will ask you to enter the time you
will spend at a stopover every time you enter a new destination.

and set the driving timer defaults for the driver.

(optional) Tap the switch to use the vehicle with two drivers. The timer defaults are the
same but the timers will count down for each driver individually.

When finished, tap and hold

to return to the Map screen.

Whenever the vehicle stops, the current driver receives a message a few minutes later
whether this stop means a break.

When a break is initiated, the continuous driving timer stops and it is reset to its default value,
the daily driving timer also stops, and the break timer starts counting down (the break starts

6 Reference Guide

On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu
screens of iGO primo.

6.1 Concepts

6.1.1 Smart Zoom

Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:

While following a route: 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: Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly
and zoom out when you drive at high speed.

6.1.2 Daytime and night colour themes

iGO primo uses different colour themes during the day and during the night for both the map
and the menu screens.

x Daytime colours are similar to paper road maps, and the menus are bright.
x The night colour themes use dark colours for large objects to keep the average

brightness of the screen low.

iGO primo offers different daytime and night colour profiles. It can also switch automatically
between the daytime and the night schemes 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.

6.1.3 Tunnel view

When entering a tunnel, the map is replaced with a generic tunnel image so that surface
roads and buildings cannot distract you.

The top-down overview of the tunnel helps you orientate yourself. The remaining distance in
the tunnel is also displayed.

After leaving the tunnel, the original map view returns.

MG Motor UK Ltd

This feature can be turned off in Settings (page 110).

6.1.4 Route calculation and recalculation

iGO primo calculates the route based on your preferences:

x Route planning methods:

: Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed

limit on all roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars.

: Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all

possible routes. It can be practical for slow vehicles.

: Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel

consumption data given in Route settings (page 104). Travel cost and CO

emission calculations are estimations only. They cannot take elevations, curves
and traffic conditions into account.

: For vehicle types where Green routing is not available, this

method combines the benefits of Fast and Short: iGO primo calculates as if it
were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads as well to save fuel.

: Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult

manoeuvres. With this option, you can make iGO primo to take, for example, the
motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.

x Vehicle types:

When creating a new vehicle profile, select one of the below vehicle types. Besides
the below mentioned conditions, dimension, weight and freight hazard restrictions
can also be taken into account when planning a route.

x Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account

when planning a route.

x Roads are used only if access for cars is allowed.
x Private roads and resident-only roads are used only if they are inevitable

to reach the destination.

x Walkways are excluded from routes.

x Neither manoeuvre restrictions nor directional constraints are taken into

account when planning a route.

x  Roads are used only if access for pedestrians is allowed.
x  Controlled-access roads are excluded from routes.
x  A private road is used only if the destination is there.

MG Motor UK Ltd

x Speed limits are not used in route calculation and an average walking

speed is used when calculating the estimated time of arrival.

x Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints (if they are applied to

bicycles in the map data) are taken into account when planning a route.

x  Roads are used only if access for bicycles or pedestrians is allowed.
x  Controlled-access roads are excluded from routes.
x  A private road is used only if the destination is there.
x  Speed limits are not used in route calculation and an average cycling

speed is used when calculating the estimated time of arrival.

x All manoeuvres are available in intersections.
x Directional constraints are taken into account the way that opposite

direction is allowed with a low speed.

x A private road is used only if the destination is there.
x Walkways are excluded from routes.

x Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account

when planning a route.

x Roads are used only if access for buses is allowed.
x Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from

routes.

x Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account

when planning a route.

x Roads are used only if access for taxis is allowed.
x Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from

routes.

x Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account

when planning a route.

x Roads are used only if access for lorries is allowed.
x Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from

routes.

x U-turns are excluded from routes (turning back on a divided road is not

considered as a U-turn).

MG Motor UK Ltd

x Road types used or avoided in route calculation:

Whenever data exist, route calculation takes into account statistical traffic data for the given
day of week and time of day (page 93).

Real-time Traffic events are also taken into account and sometimes greatly modify the route.

iGO primo automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary or if
a newly received Traffic event concerns a part of the recommended route.

For further information about Route settings, see page 104.

6.1.5 Green routing

Route calculation is not only about finding the quickest or shortest route. For some of the
vehicle types, you can also check the fuel consumption and CO

emission when planning a

route, and you can create cost effective routes with less effect on the environment.

In Route settings, you can edit the parameters of the selected vehicle. Enter the fuel
consumption values and the price of the fuel. You can also select whether you want to see
the difference between your route and the green route even if the selected routing method is
not Green.

After the above parameters are set, select

as route planning method to

get a fast but also fuel efficient route. Note that travel cost and CO

emission calculations are

estimations  only.  They  cannot  take  elevations,  turns,  curves  and  traffic  conditions  into
account.  Also,  this  routing  is  not  meant  to  give  you  the  "greenest"  route  of  all.  It  is  still
important  to  travel  quickly  so  the  result  is  a  fast  route  with  low  fuel  consumption  and  CO

emission.

With a vehicle type where green routing is selectable, whichever route planning method is
selected, the Green details are also shown when you confirm the route:

If the selected route planning method is not Green, and you have allowed the application to
show the green alternative, the price, fuel consumption and CO

emission differences

between your selected route and the Green route are also shown on this screen:

MG Motor UK Ltd

Tap the field with these details to switch the route to Green immediately.

6.1.6 Road safety cameras and other proximity alert points

There is a special proximity warning for road safety cameras (like speed or red light cameras)
and other proximity alert points (like schools or railroad crossings). These alert points are not
part of iGO primo. You can download them from www.naviextras.com or you can upload
points in a specific text file if needed.

Dynamic alert points may also be available online at your location.

You can also add your own alert points or edit the previously uploaded points. See page 76
for details.

The application can warn you when you approach road safety cameras like speed cameras or
dangerous areas like school zones or railroad crossings. You can set up the different alert
types individually in Sound and Warning settings (page 99).

The following alert types are available:

x Audio warning: beeps can be played (natural voice) or the type of the alert can be

announced (TTS) while you are approaching one of these points, and an extra alert
can warn you if you exceed the given speed limit while approaching.

x Visual warning: the type of the alert point, its distance and the related speed limit

appear on the Map screen while you are approaching one of these cameras.

For some of the alert points, the enforced or expected speed limit is available. For these
points, the audio alert can be different if you are below or above the given speed limit.

x Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you exceed the given speed

limit.

x When approaching: The audio alert is always played when approaching one of these

alert points. In order to draw your attention, the alert can is different when you exceed
the speed limit.

Note!

The warning for road safety cameras is disabled when you are in a country
where road safety camera warning is prohibited. However, you must ensure on
your own liability that using this feature is legal in the country where you intend
to use it.

MG Motor UK Ltd

6.1.7 Speed limit warning

Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. iGO primo 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.

The maximum speed set in the vehicle profile is also used for this warning. iGO primo alerts
you if you exceed the preset value even if the legal speed limit is higher.

Speed warning can be fine-tuned in Sound and Warning settings (page 99).

You can set the relative speed above which the application initiates the warning.

The following alert types are available:

x Audio warning: you receive a verbal warning when you exceed the speed limit with the

given percentage.

x Visual warning: the current speed limit is shown on the map when you exceed it (for

example:

You can also choose to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time.

6.1.8 Battery and GPS position quality indicators

You can find useful information in the top corners of menu screens.

The battery symbol in the top left corner, next to the current time shows information about the
rechargeable battery of the device.

Description

iGO primo has no connection to the GPS receiver: GPS navigation
is not possible.

Devices with a built-in GPS receiver are permanently connected.
On such devices, the icon does not appear in normal
circumstances.

iGO primo is connected to the GPS receiver, but the signal is too
weak and the receiver cannot determine the GPS position.

GPS navigation is not possible.

Only a few satellites are received. Position information is available,
but elevation (altitude) cannot be calculated.

GPS navigation is possible, but the position error may be
significant.

Altitude information is available, the position is a 3D position.

GPS navigation is possible.

6.1.9 Traffic information in route planning

The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Offline statistical traffic
information (historical speed information or traffic patterns) can be taken into account in the
route calculation based on the time of day and the day of week whenever suitable data exists.
In addition, real-time traffic information can help you avoid current traffic events like temporary
road closures or a traffic jam caused by an accident. Both functions are subject to data
availability.

You can display the historical traffic information on the map if you browse the map and select
this option from the More menu. A 2D map is displayed with road segments coloured by the
density of the traffic in the given period. The current information is shown when you open the
screen. Modify the day of week and the time of day to see the desired period.

You can display the live traffic information on the map if you browse the map and select this
option from the More menu. A 2D map is displayed with road segments coloured by the

severity of traffic events. Tap the event type icon at the road segment and then tap the
button to get information about the traffic event.

MG Motor UK Ltd

6.1.9.1 Historical traffic

If statistical traffic information is stored with the map data, iGO primo can take them into
account when planning a route. In normal cases, these statistics help you avoid usual traffic
jams on the given day of week in the given hour but in some cases like on public holidays that
fall on normal weekdays, they can be misleading. You can disable this feature in Traffic
settings (page 103).

You can display statistical traffic information on the map if you browse the map and select this
option from the More menu.

6.1.9.2 Real-time traffic information (TMC)

TMC (Traffic Message Channel) can provide you with the real-time status of the traffic. Route
calculation can avoid road blocks or unexpected traffic jams caused by an accident.

Note! This feature is available only if your hardware supports TMC.

TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-
time traffic and weather information.

Using traffic information is enabled by default in iGO primo.

Note!

TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your country or region.
Ask your local dealer for coverage details.

[DEVICE] may contain the TMC receiver that is needed to receive Traffic events. Ask your
local dealer.

If public Traffic data is broadcast at your location, iGO primo automatically takes into account
the traffic events received. You do not need to set anything in the program. The receiver will
automatically search the FM radio stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will
immediately be used in route planning. When iGO primo receives traffic information that may
affect your route, the program will warn you that it is recalculating the route, and navigation
will continue with a new route that is optimal considering the most up-to-date traffic
conditions.

To fine-tune this recalculation, you can set the minimum delay that can trigger a route
recalculation, or you can instruct iGO primo to have you confirm the new recommended route
before it takes effect. You can do these in Traffic settings (page 103).

A special icon (

) is displayed on the Map screen to show you whether traffic events are

received. The icon shows the status of the traffic receiver when there are no traffic events on
your route, otherwise it shows the type of the next traffic event on your route.

Road segments affected by traffic events are displayed with an alternate colour on the map,
and small symbols above the road show the nature of the event:

6.1.9.3 Online traffic information

Unlike statistical traffic information, online traffic can provide you with the real-time status of
the traffic. Route calculation can avoid road blocks or unexpected traffic jams caused by an
accident.

Note! This feature needs an active internet connection.

The application automatically takes into account the traffic events received. You do not need
to set anything in the program. When iGO primo receives traffic information that may affect
your route, the program will warn you that it is recalculating the route, and navigation will
continue with a new route that is optimal considering the most up-to-date traffic conditions.
