You can also select some of the objects
on the map. If you tap the map at the icon
of a Place of Interest or an alert point, the
object will be selected (you see a red circling
border around the object), and you can get
information about this object or use it as a
route point.
qObjects on the map
Streets and roads
MMES shows the streets in a way that is
similar to how the paper road maps show
them. Their width and colors correspond to
their importance: you can easily tell a freeway
from a small street.
Turn preview and Next street
When navigating a route, the top section of
the Map screen shows information about the
next route event (maneuver) and the next
street or the next city/town.
There is a field in the top left corner that
displays the next maneuver. Both the type of
the event (turn, traffic circle, exiting freeway,
etc.) and its distance from the current position
are displayed.A smaller icon shows the type of the
second next maneuver if it is near the first
one. Otherwise, only the next maneuver is
displayed.
Most of these icons are very intuitive. The
following table lists some of the frequently
shown route events. The same symbols are
used in both fields:
Icon Description
Turn left.
Turn right.
Turn back.
Bear right.
Turn sharp left.
Keep left.
Continue straight in the
intersection.
Icon Description
Go left on the traffic circle, 3rd exit
(next maneuver).
Enter traffic circle (second next
maneuver).
Enter freeway.
Exit freeway.
Board ferry.
Leave ferry.
(yellow)
Approaching a waypoint.
Approaching the destination.
Lane information and Signposts
When navigating on multilane roads, it is
important to take the appropriate lane in
order to follow the recommended route. If
lane information is available in the map data,
MMES displays the lanes and their directions
using small arrows at the bottom of the map.
Highlighted arrows represent the lanes you
need to take.
205-0010-00_QY-7375M-A_EN.indb 21205-0010-00_QY-7375M-A_EN.indb 213/12/2013 9:57:15 AM3/12/2013 9:57:15 AM

22
Where additional information is available,
signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are
displayed at the top of the map. The color
and style of the signposts are similar to
the real ones you can see above road or
by the roadside. They show the available
destinations and the number of the road the
lane leads to.
All signposts look similar when cruising (when
there is no recommended route). When
navigating a route, only the signpost that
points to the lane(s) to be taken is displayed
in vivid colors; all others are darker.
If you want to hide the currently displayed
signposts, tap any of them and the normal
Map screen returns until new signpost
information is received.Junction view
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. The lanes you need to
take are displayed with arrows. Signposts can
also be present if information is available.
If you want to hide the currently displayed
junction, tap the picture and the Map screen
returns.
Freeway exit services
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 the exit area on
the map. You can now easily add this exit as
a waypoint to your route if needed.
If you want to display other types of Places for
the exits, you can change the icons in Visual
Guidance settings (page 71).

3D object types
MMES supports the following 3D object types:
Type Description
3D terrain 3D terrain map data shows changes in terrain, elevations or depressions in the land when you view the map in 2D, and
use it to plot the route map in 3D when you navigate. Hills and mountains are shown in the background of the 3D map, and
illustrated by color and shading on the 2D map.
Elevated roads Complex intersections and vertically isolated roads (such as overpasses or bridges) are displayed in 3D.
3D landmarks Landmarks are 3D artistic or block representations of prominent or well-known objects.
Elements of the active route
MMES shows the route in the following way:
Symbol Name Description
Current position Your current position displayed on the map. If roads are near, it is aligned to the nearest road.
(yellow)Waypoint (intermediate
destination)An intermediate destination of the route before reaching the final destination.
Destination (end point) The final destination of the route.
– Route color The route always stands out with its color on the map, both in daytime and in night color mode.
– Streets and roads that are
excluded from the navigationYou can choose whether you want to use or avoid certain road types. However, when MMES cannot
avoid such roads, the route will include them and it will show them in a color that is different from the
route color.

Driving
3. ON-ROAD
NAVIGATION
When first started, MMES calculates routes
using the road network of the high quality
vector maps provided with the product.
You can set up your route in different ways:
If you need a route for immediate
navigation, you can select the destination
and start navigating to it right away (normal
navigation).
You can also plan a route independently of
your current position.
You can plan routes with multiple destinations.
Select the first destination. Then select a
second destination and add it to your route
to create a multi-point route. You can add as
many destinations to your route as you like.
You can also use MMES for off-road
navigation. For details, see page 59.
Selecting the destination
of a route
MMES offers you several ways of choosing
your destination:
Enter a full address or a part of an
address, for example a street name
without a house number or the names of
two intersecting streets (page 29). Enter an address with ZIP code (page 37).
This way you do not need to select the
name of the city/town and the search for
street names might be faster as well.
Use a built-in Place of Interest as your
destination (page 39).
Select a location on the map with the Find
on Map feature (page 47).
Use a previously saved Favorite
destination (page 47).
Select a location from the History of
previously used destinations (page 49).
Enter the coordinate of the destination
(page 49).
qEntering an address or a
part of the address
If you know at least a part of the address, it is
the quickest way to select the destination of
the route.
Using the same screen, you can find an
address by entering:
the exact address, including house number
the center of a city/town

the midpoint of a street
any of the above, starting the search with
the ZIP code (page 37)
