Safety information on navigation

Safety information on handling the device

Safety information on the installation in the vehicle

2.1 The basic principle of navigation

MioMap

The time of complicated and frustrating inquiries on the right way in folded maps is over. From now on MioMap, your navigation system, will guide you, based on satellite information, quickly and safely to your destination.

GPS-based navigation

The Global Positioning System (GPS) has originally been developed in the 70ies, as a weapon guidance system for the American forces.

The GPS is based on 24 satellites, which are in orbit round the earth and which are permanently emitting signals. The GPS receiver receives these signals and calculates, based on the runtime of the signals, his distance from the respective satellites. This information serves for calculation your current geographic position.

The signals of at least three satellites are needed to determine the longitude and the latitude. With the signals of at least four satellites the elevation may be calculated, too. The determination has an accuracy of about 3 yards.

Navigation with GPS

The delivered maps contain the geographic coordinates of the points of interest, streets and towns they represent. Thus the navigation system can calculate a route from a given start point to a given destination point.

In case your navigation system receives the signals of at least three satellites it may determine your current position and represent it on the map. This position may then serve as start point for navigation purposes.

As the determination and representation of your position is carried out once a second, you may watch your movements on the map.

Traffic information with TMC)

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) provides the navigation system with the latest traffic information. An external TMC receiver, which is connected to your device receives these signals broadcasted by radio stations.

TMC Operating mode

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is based on a news system. Traffic information is recorded continually this is done automatically by sensors on the motorways and by the police. This information is then forwarded to the radio stations without delay. It is digitally coded, differentiated according to routes and driving directions and transmitted inaudibly.

The TMC-receiver extracts the TMC data from the RDS signal and provides the navigation software with them. Current traffic obstructions may then be displayed.

The reported obstructions may be considered for route calculation. In case of obstructions on the computed itinerary, they may be used for computing an alternative route, which evades the obstruction.

MioMap features dynamic navigation, which is well adapted to the current traffic situation.

2.2 Important safety information

Note

In your own interest, read the following notices and safety information carefully before starting up your navigation system.

2.2.1 Safety information on navigation

Use of MioMap is executed at your own risk.

Caution: To protect yourself and others from accidents please do not operate the navigation system while driving!

Caution: You must not look at the display except when it is absolutely safe to do so!

Caution: The road layout and the traffic signs are absolutely prior to the instructions of the navigation system.

Caution: You must not follow the instructions of MioMap except when the circumstances and the road traffic regulations allow doing so. MioMap will guide you to your destination even when you have left your planned itinerary.

Note: We recommend effecting route planning before beginning the journey. If you are on the road and you want to establish a new itinerary, please drive to the next parking site!

Note: If you have not understood the instructions or if you are not sure about what to do next you may quickly refer to the map or arrow view of your navigation system.

2.2.2 Safety information on handling the device

Caution: As it is neither splash proof nor waterproof, do not expose your navigation device to water! For example, protect it from rain, snow or hail when you are on your way by bike or on foot.

Caution: Disconnect the navigation device from the power supply when you are leaving the car parked for a long period of time. Failure to do so might result in a dead battery since the internal GPS receiver constantly consumes electricity.

Note: Do not use any harsh solvents for cleaning the device. A damp, lint-free cloth is sufficient!

Note: Do not unplug by pulling the cable. This might damage the cable!

2.2.3 Safety information on the installation in the vehicle

Caution: Do not fix the holder within the deployment zone of airbags.

Caution: When you install the holder, please check that it may not constitute any safety risk, even in case of an accident.

9 Glossary

COM-port

A COM port is a connector to a communications interface, usually the serial port. The ports are numbered by a number behind "COM". A communications interface is designed to connect hardware like a mouse or a GPS receiver.

GMT

GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is the mean solar time at the Royal Greenwich Observatory in Greenwich near London, England, which by convention is at 0 degrees geographic longitude. Theoretically, noon Greenwich Mean Time is the moment when the Sun crosses the Greenwich meridian (and reaches its highest point in the sky in Greenwich). Up to 1972, GMT was the global time standard. Because of the Earth's uneven speed in its elliptic orbit, GMT has been replaced by UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) which is an ultra stable time standard based on atomic clocks.

GPS

The GPS (Global Positioning System) is based on 24 satellites which are in orbit round the earth. They are permanently emitting the time and their current position. The GPS receiver receives this information and calculates the longitude and the latitude of its own current position.

The signals of at least three satellites are needed to determine the longitude and the latitude. With the signals of at least four satellites the elevation may be calculated, too. The determination has an accuracy of about 3 yards.

HDOP

The Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP) indicates the quality of position determination. Theoretically any value from 0 to 50 is possible.
