4. You have the following options on this
screen (for detailed instructions on how to
use them, see the next chapter):

to edit the
route: to add or remove destinations or
change their sequence. You can also
set a route start point other than your
current location. This can be useful to
plan and save a future trip.

to display the
entire route on the map.

to bypass a
part of the route.

to delete the
active route.

to open a list
with more options like selecting from
route alternatives, changing route
parameters, simulating the route,
saving the active route or loading a
previously saved route.

to return to the
Navigation menu.
Modifying the route
When navigation is already started, there
are several ways to modify the active route.
The following sections show some of those
options.
qSelecting a new destination
when already having a route:
New Route, Waypoint or
Final Destination
If you already have a recommended route
and you select a new destination as described
in the above sections, the application will
ask you whether to start a new route, add
a new waypoint (intermediate destination)
to the route or append the newly selected
destination at the end of the current route.
to plan a new route to the
newly selected location. The previous
destination and waypoint(s) are deleted.
to add the newly selected
location as an intermediate destination to
your route. The other destinations of the
route remain intact.
Note:
The new waypoint is placed among destinations
to keep the route optimal. To decide where a
waypoint to appear, use the Edit Route feature.
to append the newly selected
destination at the end of the route. The
other destinations of the route remain
intact. The previous final destination is now
the last waypoint.
qSetting a new starting
position for the route
For normal navigation, all routes are planned
from the current position. In order to check
future routes, simulate them or see their
length in time and distance, you can turn
off the GPS receiver. Then you can set
the starting point of the route to a different
location than the current position.
1. If you are on the Map screen, tap
to return to the
Navigation menu.
2. In the Navigation menu, tap

Vehimarker (showing that there is no
GPS reception). If an active route already
existed, it is now recalculated starting
from the selected location.

To recalculate the active route with a different
route planning method, you can modify
the Route settings. There is another way
to do this and to compare different route
alternatives with the same route planning
method. Do as follows:

route.
qChanging the road types
used in route planning
To recalculate the active route with different
road type preferences, do as follows. These
changes can also be made in Settings (page
64).
1. On the Map screen, tap
and then
tap
.
2. Tap any of the listed road types to modify
the route. If needed, scroll the list for all
road types. You have the following options:

- 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.

56
- 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.

Tap
to return to the
Map screen.
The orange line now shows the new
recommended route.

through the whole recommended route.
1. (optional) You have the following
controls during the simulation (the
control buttons disappear after a few
seconds but you can open them again
if you tap the map):

: Jump to the next route event
(maneuver).

: Pause the simulation.

: Jump to the previous route
event (maneuver).

: Tap to increase the speed of
the simulation to 4, 8 or 16
times faster. Now tap again
to return to the normal
speed.2. Tap
to stop the
simulation.

4. OFF-ROAD
NAVIGATION
When first started, MMES calculates routes
using the road network of the high quality
vector maps provided with the product. You
can switch the application to off-road mode
in Navigation settings in one of the following
ways:
From the Main menu, tap ,
, and then
.
From the Map screen, tap ,
and then
.
Most of the procedures described for on-road
navigation also apply to off-road navigation.
However, there are some that are not
available in this navigation mode (for example
you cannot open the itinerary as you have no
maneuvers just route points and straight lines
between them).
Selecting the destination
of the route
Selecting the start point or a destination
(waypoint or final destination) is the same as
described at on-road navigation. The only
difference is that route points are linked to
form a route with straight lines regardless of
the road network and traffic regulations.
Navigating in off-road
mode
The real difference between the on-road and
off-road modes is the navigation itself. When
you are on the Map screen with an off-road
route:
your position and heading is not aligned
with the nearest road and
there is no turn by turn navigation just a
recommended direction.
You see a orange line drawn between your
current position and the next destination to
reach.
The Turn Preview field in the top left corner
shows a compass with your bearing and the
distance of the next destination.
When you reach a waypoint, the orange line
will show the direction to the next destination.
(Future legs of the route are shown with
orange lines.)
When you reach the final destination,
navigation ends.

5. REFERENCE
GUIDE
On the following pages you will find the
description of the different concepts and menu
screens of MMES.
Concepts
qSmart Zoom
Smart Zoom provides much more than just a
usual automatic zoom feature:
While following a route: when
approaching a turn, it will zoom in and
raise the view angle to let you easily
recognize your maneuver at the next
junction. If the next turn is at a distance, it
will zoom out and lower the view angle to
be flat so you can see the road in front of
you.
While driving without an active route:
Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly
and zoom out when you drive at high
speed.
qDaytime and night color
themes
MMES uses different color themes during the
day and during the night for both the map and
the menu screens.
Daytime colors are similar to paper road
maps, and the menus are bright. The night color themes use dark colors
for large objects to keep the average
brightness of the screen low.
MMES offers different daytime and night
color profiles. It can also switch automatically
between the daytime and the night schemes
based on the current time and position a few
minutes before sunrise, when the sky has
already turned bright, and a few minutes after
sunset, before it becomes dark.
qTunnel view
When entering a tunnel, the map is replaced
with a generic tunnel image so that surface
roads and buildings cannot distract you.
The top-down overview of the tunnel helps
you orient yourself. The remaining distance in
the tunnel is also displayed.
After leaving the tunnel, the original map view
returns.
This feature can be turned off in Settings
(page 71).
qRoute calculation and
recalculation
MMES calculates the route based on your
preferences:
Route planning methods:

: 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 CO
2 emission
calculations are estimations only. They
cannot take elevations, curves and
traffic conditions into account.

: Gives a route that
has the smallest total distance of all
possible routes. It can be practical for
slow 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.
