Map screen
qNavigating on the map
The Map screen is the most frequently used
screen of MMES.
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
or press the
MAP button to the right of the screen.
This map shows the current position (the
Vehimarker, a red arrow), the recommended
route (an orange line), and the surrounding
map area.
When there is no GPS position, the
Vehimarker is transparent.You see colored 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 color, 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.
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.
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 right corner of
menu screens.)
Note:
The speed and speed limit display are auxiliary
functions. Check the speed in the vehicle’s
speedometer and observe the legal speed.
Check the actual road signs because speed
limits are subject to change due to weather and
road conditions.
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.
The calculation cannot
take into account
traffic jams and other
possible delays.
Shows the estimated
arrival time at the final
destination of the route
based on information
available for the
remaining segments of
the route.
The calculation cannot
take into account
traffic jams and other
possible delays.
qPosition markers
Vehimarker and Lock-on-Road
MMES marks your current position with the
Vehimarker which is a red arrow.
When on-road navigation is selected, 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.
If you select off-road navigation: The
Vehimarker is not aligned to the road. The
direction of the icon shows your current
heading.
Selected map location (Cursor)
and selected map object
You can mark a map location in the following
ways:
Tap the map when navigating,
Tap the map when you are asked to
confirm the destination at the end of a
search, or
Tap the map in Find on Map (page 47)
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 Favorite
destinations.

6. GLOSSARY
2D/3D GPS reception
The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to
calculate its (your) position and needs at
least four signals to give a three-dimensional
position, including elevation. Because the
satellites are moving and because objects
can block the signals, your GPS device might
not receive four signals. If three satellites
are available, the receiver can calculate the
horizontal GPS position but the accuracy is
lower and the GPS device does not give you
elevation data: only 2D reception is possible.
Active route
The currently navigated route. Whenever the
destination is set, the route is active until you
delete it, reach your destination or you quit
MMES. See also: Route.
City Center
The city/town center is not the geometric
center of the city/town but an arbitrary point
the map creators have chosen. In towns
and villages, it is usually the most important
intersection; in larger cities, it is one of the
important intersections.
Color theme
MMES comes with different color themes for
daytime or night use of the map and menu
screens. Themes are custom graphic settings
and they can have different colors for streets,
blocks or surface waters in 2D and 3D modes,
and they display shades or shadows in
different ways in 3D mode.
One daytime scheme and one night scheme
is always selected for the map and for the
menus. MMES uses them when it switches
from day to night and back.
GPS accuracy
Several factors have impact on the deviation
between your real position and the one given
by the GPS device. For example, signal delay
in the ionosphere or reflecting objects near
the GPS device have a different and varying
impact on how accurately the GPS device can
calculate your position.
Map
MMES works with digital maps which are not
simply the computerized versions of traditional
paper maps. Similarly to the paper road maps,
the 2D mode of digital maps show you streets,
roads, and elevation is also shown by colors.
In 3D mode, you can see the altitude
differences, for example valleys and
mountains, elevated roads, and in selected
cities 3D landmarks and 3D buildings are also
displayed.You can use digital maps interactively: you
can zoom in and out (increase or decrease
the scale), you can tilt them up and down, and
rotate them left and right. In GPS-supported
navigation, digital maps facilitate route
planning.
North-up map orientation
In North-up mode the map is rotated so its top
always faces North. This is the orientation for
example in Find on Map.
Road Safety Camera
Special alert points for speed, red light or
bus lane cameras. Different data sources
are available. You can configure MMES to
warn you when you approach one of these
cameras.
Detecting the location of Road Safety Cameras
is prohibited in certain countries. It is the sole
responsibility of the driver to check whether
this feature can be used during the trip.
The software is capable of showing and
warning for more than just cameras. Various
other types of proximity alert points like
school zones and railroad crossings are also
available.
Route
A sequence of route events, i.e. maneuvers
(for example, turns and traffic circles) to reach
the destination. The route contains one start
point and one or more destinations. The start
point is the current position by default. If you
need to see a future route, the start point can
be replaced with any other given point.
