How do I navigate with GPS?

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is available at any time, free of charge, and is accurate to within 5m (15ft). GPS navigation is made possible by a network of satellites that orbit the Earth at around 20,200km (12,552mi). Each satellite transmits a range of signals which are utilized by GPS receivers, such as your Mio, to determine an exact location. Although a GPS receiver can detect signals from up to 12 satellites at any time, only four signals are required to provide a position or "GPS fix" (latitude and longitude), for vehicle navigation systems.

How does my Mio receive GPS signals?

Your Mio receives GPS signals via the internal GPS antenna. To guarantee the optimum GPS signal strength, ensure your Mio is outdoors, or in a vehicle outdoors, and has an unobstructed view of the sky. GPS reception is not usually affected by weather, however, very heavy rain or snow may have a negative effect on your reception.

How do I view my GPS status?

You can view your GPS status at any time from the map screens or the Viewfinder screen. displays green when a GPS fix is established and red when a GPS fix is unavailable. To indicate the reception strength of a GPS fix, displays between one and four green vertical bars.

To view your GPS status in more detail, see "GPS Status" on page 65.
To set your GPS mode, see "Setting your GPS mode" on page 66.
For more information about GPS, refer to the GPS Navigation - Frequently Asked Questions guide on the MioMore Desktop DVD.

Traffic

Traffic information is only available on some models and in selected countries

If an event message obscures your current location, the map will adjust to display both the message and your location.

How does my Mio receive traffic information?

You can receive current traffic information on your Mio via the built-in antenna using the Traffic Message Channel (TMC) service. The TMC service is by subscription.

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) broadcasts real-time traffic information via the FM Radio Data System (RDS). FM radio stations transmit TMC data on a cycle of several minutes, with hundreds of events able to be broadcast to TMC receivers, such as the Mio Traffic module.

Note: To receive TMC information, your Mio must be connected to the in-car charger.

Traffic status

Your current traffic status is indicated by the color of the TMC icon.

To view your current traffic status from the map screens, tap

The following table describes the three traffic status icons:

Traffic Status	Description
TME	The TMC status is gray if traffic is currently inactive due to one of the following conditions: • Your Mio or Traffic module is connecting to the TMC service. • Your Mio or Traffic module cannot receive TMC data. This may be due to poor radio coverage in the local vicinity. • You are in a region that is not supported by the Mio Traffic module. Tap to display the Traffic Overview screen.
TME	The TMC status is orange if one of the following conditions apply: • You have navigated into a region that is not supported by Mio Traffic, but there are still traffic events listed on the Event List screen. • You have separated your Mio from the Mio Traffic module, or the Mio Traffic module is not receiving power but there are still traffic events listed on the Event List screen. Tap to display the Traffic Overview screen.
TME	The TMC status is green if your Mio or Traffic module is active and receiving traffic events. Tap to display the Traffic Overview screen.

Your traffic status is displayed in more detail on the Traffic System Status screen.

How will I know when a Traffic Event occurs?

Incoming events are handled according to your Traffic preferences. For more information, see "How do I customize Traffic preferences?" on page 63.

When traveling through an area in which you can receive traffic status, your Mio will decode these events and display them on-screen. An icon will display at the event location on the map screens, and an audible warning is given if an event is on your route. Where the extent of an event is a specific distance, the road will be highlighted and arrows will indicate the direction affected.

What is a Major Road Network map?

Continuous continental navigation

Navigation between particular countries is not available on all models.

Major Road Network maps allow you to seamlessly navigate between installed maps without installing maps of all regions along your route. Each Major Road Network map covers a large area, such as North Amaerica, and contains main roads that connect cities and towns. You can select a road or Point of Interest on the Major Road Network map as your departure point or destination.

All Major Road Network maps:

• contain roads and ferry connections of high national and international importance.
• use less memory than would be necessary to install all equivalent detailed maps.
  exclude smaller roads and have a reduced level of geographical detail.

How do I install or reinstall a Major Road Network map?

Major Road Network maps can be installed to a new memory card or reinstalled to your Mio the same way detailed maps are installed. For more information, see "How do I install maps from DVD?" on page 84.
