Buttons and other controls on the screen
When you are using MMES, you usually tap buttons on the touch screen.
You only need to confirm selections or changes 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, MMES saves your selections and applies the new settings without confirmation as soon as you use the
controls.

Type Example Description How to use it
Switch
When there are only two choices, a checkmark
shows whether the feature is enabled.Tap it to turn the switch on or off.
Slider
When a feature can be set to different values in
a range, MMES shows an indicator on a gauge
that displays and sets the value. Drag the handle to move the slider to its new
position.
This operation is available in navigation-related
screens only.
Tap the slider where you want the handle to
appear; the thumb jumps there.
Virtual keyboard
Alphabetic and alphanumeric keyboards to
enter text and numbers.Each key is a touch screen button.
qUsing keyboards
You only need to enter letters or numbers when you cannot avoid it. You can type with your fingertips on the full-screen keyboards and you can switch
between various keyboard layouts, for example English, French or numerical. MMES supports address and POI name entry with a smart keyboard.
After typing the first letter on the virtual keyboard, the keys that do not correspond to any possible matching name become inactive. This makes typing
faster and helps in the spelling of complicated names. As soon as the number of matching names becomes small enough to fit on one screen, the
software displays a list to choose from, so the user does not have to type the full word in most cases.
The smart keyboard continuously offers the most likely match based on previous destination selections. As a result, it is usually enough to type the first
few letters of a city or street name.

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

Vehimarker is displayed in full color, now
showing your current position.
There are screen buttons and data fields
on the screen to help you navigate.

can save this location as one of your Favorite
destinations.
