Sound and Warnings
Button Description
Tap this button to adjust the volume of the voice guidance.
This button shows the current voice guidance profile. By tapping the button, you can select a new profile from the list of available
languages.
Tap any of these to hear a sample voice prompt. Just tap

Note that the number of guidances may vary depending on the route.
Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. MMES is able to warn you if you exceed the current
limit. This information may not be available for your region, or may not be fully correct for all roads in the map.
This setting lets you decide whether you wish to receive visible and/or audible warnings.
Adjust the slider to set the relative speed above which the application initiates the warning.
The following alert types are available:
Audio warning: you receive a verbal warning when you exceed the speed limit with the given percentage.
Visual warning: the current speed limit is shown on the map when you exceed it.
If you prefer to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time (normally it is shown only if your speed exceeds it), you can set it
here.

Button Description
This feature allows you to receive a warning when approaching alert points like school zones or railroad crossings. You must
ensure on your own liability that using this feature is legal in the country where you intend to use it.
You can set the alert for the different alert point categories individually. The following alert types are available:
Audio warning: beeps can be played by natural voice while you are approaching one of these points, and an extra alert can
warn you if you exceed the given speed limit while approaching.
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.
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.
Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you exceed the given speed limit.
When approaching: The audio alert is always played when approaching one of these alert points. In order to draw your
attention, the alert is different when you exceed the speed limit.
Maps may contain driver alert information. Tap this button to turn on or off these warnings and to set the distance from the
hazard to receive the warning at. These can be set individually for the different warning types.

Route settings
These settings determine how routes will be calculated.
Button Description
Some parameters of your car can be set. These are taken into account in route calculation.
On-road navigation creates a turn by turn itinerary using the road network on the map. Switch to off-road navigation to navigate
between destinations in a straight line.
The route calculation can be optimized for different situations by changing the planning method. See below for details.
To let the route fit your needs, you can also set which road types are to be considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible.
Excluding a road type is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some of the
excluded road types, they will be used but only as much as necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on the My Route screen, and the part
of the route not matching your preference will be displayed in a different color on the map.
In the list of road types you can see in how many segments and what total length of the road type is used in the current route.
Button Description
You might need to avoid freeways when you are driving a slow car or you are towing another vehicle.
Charge roads are pay roads where you can purchase a pass or vignette to use the road for a longer period of time. They can be
enabled or disabled separately from toll roads.
MMES includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a per-use charge) in the routes by default. If you disable toll roads, MMES
plans the best toll-free route.
MMES includes ferries in a planned route by default. However, a map does not necessarily contain information about the
accessibility of temporary ferries. You might also need to pay a fare on ferries.
MMES excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved roads can be in a bad condition and usually you cannot reach the speed
limit on them.
If the selected routing method is not Green, you can have your route compared to the best green alternative on the screen when
confirming the route. If this alternative is much better than the selected method, you can quickly switch to Green mode.

Route Planning Method types:
Button Description
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 quick but fuel-efficient route based on the fuel consumption data given in Route settings. Travel cost and CO2 emission
calculations are estimations only. They cannot take elevations, curves and traffic conditions into account.
Gives a short route to minimize the distance to travel. It can be practical for slow vehicles. Searching for a short route regardless
of the speed, this route type is rarely practical for normal vehicles.
Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult maneuvers. With this option, you can make MMES to take, for example, the
freeway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.
qUser profiles
If more drivers use MMES for navigating, their settings can be remembered by using one of the user profiles. Rename the profiles after tapping the edit
button on the right so that all users know which profile to use and switch between profiles by tapping its name. If you select a new profile, the application
restarts so that the new settings can take effect.

Button Description
You may need a gas station or a restaurant during your journey. This feature displays a new button on the map when you are
driving on freeways. Tap this button to open a panel with the details of the next few exits or service stations. Tap any of them to
display it on the map and add it as a waypoint to your route if needed.
Select the service types displayed for the freeway exists. Choose from the POI categories.
Whenever adequate information is available, lane information similar to the real ones on road signs above the road is displayed
at the top of the map. You can turn this feature on or off.
If you are approaching a freeway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a
3D view of the junction. You can turn this feature on or let the map be displayed for the whole route.
When entering tunnels, the surface roads and buildings can be disturbing. This feature shows a generic picture of a tunnel
instead of the map. A top-down overview of the tunnel and remaining distance are also displayed.
Turn on the route progress bar to see your route as a straight line on the left side of the map. The red arrow represents your
current position and moves up as you travel. Waypoints are also displayed on the line.
When you slow down while driving on a freeway, there is a chance that you are in a traffic jam so MMES offers you a detour
using the next exit. The message shows you distance of the exit and the difference in distance and estimated time compared to
the original route. You can choose from one of the following options:
Tap Dismiss or just ignore the message if you want to keep the original route.
Tap Preview to see the overview of the original route and the detour to make the decision. You can accept the detour as
offered or increase the bypassed freeway segment before accepting.
Turn to the suggested new direction and the route will be automatically recalculated.
Similar to the above possibility, alternative routes can be suggested when driving on normal roads. MMES will select a different
turn in the upcoming intersection and offers you a different route for the next section of the route.
Your options are the similar as above but you cannot modify the offered detour.
Parking at the destination may not be easy in city areas. As you approach the destination, MMES can offer parking category
Places near your destination. Tap the “P” button to open a top-down map with the destination and the offered parking Places.
Select one and modify the route accordingly.
If you leave the recommended route and suddenly exit the freeway, the application offers different alternatives near the exit like
gas stations or restaurants. Also, if there are avoidable parts of the original route ahead (like a tunnel, a toll road or a ferry), you
will find them in the list in case you want to bypass them with the help of MMES.
