1. The Navigator View

(1) View selector, (2) Map display, (3) Freeway indicator,

(4) Zoom-out button, (5) Zoom-in button,

(6) GPS signal indicator,

(7) Current location indicator, (8) Trip information,

(9) Distance to next instruction, (10) Next instruction symbol

The Navigator view provides driving instructions using a combination of text, symbols, voice guidance

and a moving map. The map shows your automobile and its immediate surroundings, rotated in such a

way that the direction in which you are moving is always "up". The route that TomTom Navigator

recommends is emphasized in dark red.

At the bottom of the screen is the dark-blue Navigator status bar. It shows what you should do next

(10), the distance you still need to travel before you do it (9), and three estimates (8) concerning your

trip: how long before you reach your destination, how late you will arrive there, and the distance to

your destination.

It also shows the signal strength of your GPS receiver (6) and your current location (7).

Things you can do in this view

Switch to another view

First of all, you can switch to another view using the pull-down menu in the top left corner (1).

Incidentally, this also causes the default Pocket PC title bar to re-appear, allowing you to switch to

other applications.

Zoom in or out

The map display will automatically rotate, zoom in and zoom out in order to present the current traffic

situation as clearly as possible; you can manually control the zoom level by tapping on (or near) the

manual zoom buttons (4) and (5).

Repeat the last instruction

If you touch the schematic arrow (10), TomTom Navigator will repeat the last spoken instruction

(unless you already passed the point it referred to).

Pop up the icon menu

If you tap anywhere in the center of the screen, a menu will pop up offering options that are useful

whilst navigating.

Navigator menu icons

Navigate to...

Allows you to specify a destination and navigate to it. You can choose

from the following options:

Address

Guides you through the three-step address "wizard",

allowing you to find towns, cities, roads, streets, city

centers, street corners, or individually numbered houses.

The first wizard screen asks for the name of the city, the

next for a street or key location, and the last for a house

number or intersecting street.

Note: On the third page, crossings marked with an asterisk (*) can not be

reached by automobile. Crossings marked with a dash (-) can be reached

by automobile, but the crossing road itself can not.

Favorite

Displays your list of favorite locations (which you've

made using the "Add to favorites" option)

Home

Sets the destination to your "Home" location, the first

favorite location in your favorite locations list.

Recent

location

List all locations that recently were used as a

destination, or were marked with the "Memorize

position" in the Navigator menu.

Point of

interest

Guides you through a wizard that allows you to search

the built-in lists categorized locations. You can choose

from a category (such as gas stations or restaurants).

Points of interest in a category are displayed in order of

distance to your current position. You can narrow down

the list by typing part of the name of a specific Point of

interest.

Alternative

Routes

Allows you to plan an alternative route to the same destination. A sub-

menu will pop up with the following options:

Alternative

Plans a new route to the same destination, attempting to

use as few roads as possible from the currently planned

route. You can ask for alternatives to alternatives.

Avoid

Roadblock

Allows you to specify the next part of your route

(immediately ahead of you) as "blocked". A new route

will be planned avoiding this part of the route.

Avoid ***

One, two or three of these icons may be available. They

allow you to mark specific parts of your route (such as

the stretch on freeway E35) as blocked. An alternative

will be planned avoiding that stretch of freeway.

Note: The new route may still use another stretch of the

E35 to get you to your destination.

Original

route

Discards all the road blocks, avoided areas and

alternatives you have introduced and calculates the

quickest route from your current location to your

destination.

Turn 3D View

Turns on the three-dimensional display of the map.

planned route. The demonstration will continue until you use the "STOP

demonstration" menu option.

Switch map

Allows you to choose another map (if you installed more than one map)

Turn Sound

OFF

Turns off spoken instructions.

Hides all Point of interest symbols.

Turn Guidance

OFF

Turns of the spoken and symbolic instructions and hides the display of

the planned route.

(4) View selector, (5) Scale indicator,

(6) GPS signal indicator, (7) Menu bar,

(8) PLAN button, (9) FIND button, (10) DETAIL button

What is displayed on the map

The map display area (1) displays information that you would also expect to see on a paper map:

roads, streets, parks, rivers and such. The menu option "legend" (see below) provides a lot of

information about what is displayed. On top of that, you may also encounter the following special

symbols on the map:

Your departure location

The current destination

One of your "favorite" locations

The "Home" location

A Point of interest (POI). In this particular case, a gas station.

The cursor

Your current location and direction (if and when your GPS

receiver has a valid satellite fix).

Your last known location (after your GPS receiver loses its

satellite fix)

House numbers. Odd numbers are always displayed yellow-on-

blue, and even numbers are always displayed in white-on-black.

Manipulating the map with your pen

The map view lets you browse around the map. You can do the following:

Tap once on a street to get detail information about it, such as the name and the range of house

numbers between two crossings;

Tap once on a Point of interest symbol to see its name and type;

Put your pen down and drag it around to move the map;

Move the control of the zoom bar (2) to zoom in or out;

Tap and hold on a location to pop up the action-list for that location (see the next section for

details);

Tap on the GPS indicator (6) to re-center the screen instantly around your current GPS position;

Tap on or near the left or right arrow in the instruction bar (3) to show the previous or next

route instruction; or tap in the middle of the bar to switch to the instruction table.

Tap the detail button (10) to pop up the detail-controls; these controls allow you to influence the

number of roads and names displayed at the same time on the current map; Tap the icon again

to hide the controls.

Tap and hold options for a particular location

When you Tap and hold your pen on a location on the map, you will be presented with a choice of

options. Which options are presented depends on the situation. This is a list of all options that may be

presented for a particular location:

Navigate to…

Sets the location as your destination and starts the navigation process

(see chapter 1).

Set as

departure

Sets the location as the departure location for the next route to be

planned - this is only relevant for routes planned using the "plan" button

(8), since normal turn-by-turn navigation will always depart from your

current GPS position.

Set as

destination

Sets the location as the destination for the next route that is planned.

Add to

favorites...

Allows you to turn the location into a "favorite" location (see chapter 3).

View favorite Allows you to view the details of an existing favorite.

Add as point of

interest

Allows you to turn the location into a Point of interest. You will need to

specify the name and category of the Point of interest. Note that you can

only add locations to new categories that you have defined yourself. The

very first time, you must specify the name of a new category.

Note: you can not convert built-in Points of interest to your own Point of interest categories.

Nearby points

of interest...

Allows you to find points of interest near the location.

Edit point of

interest

Allows you to edit the name and category of a Point of interest that you

added previously.

Delete point of

interest

Allows you to delete a Point of interest that you added previously.

Center on

screen

Redraws the map with the location in the exact center.

Reset GPS for

this location

Informs your GPS receiver that you are roughly near the tapped location.

If you have not used your GPS for more than a week, or have traveled

more than 200 miles/300 kilometers since you last used it, this option

can seriously reduce the time it takes your GPS to find satellites.

Finding locations

The FIND button (9) pops up a menu that allows you to find a specific location, and then do something

with it such as displaying it on the map, or setting it as your destination. You can find different types

of locations:

Address

Guides you through the three-step address "wizard", allowing you to find

towns, cities, roads, streets, city centers, street corners, or individually

numbered houses.

The first wizard screen asks for the name of the city, the next for a

street or key location, and the last for a house number or intersecting

street.

Note: On the third page, crossings marked with an asterisk (*) can not be reached by

automobile. Crossings marked with a dash (-) can be reached by automobile, but the crossing

road itself can not.

Favorite

Displays your list of favorite locations (which you've made using the "Add

to favorites" option)

Home

Finds your "Home" location, the first favorite location in your favorite

locations list.

Recent location

Point of

interest

Guides you through a wizard that allows you to search the built-in lists

categorized locations. You can choose from a category (such as gas

stations or restaurants). Points of interest in a category are displayed in

order of distance to your current position. You can narrow down the list

by typing part of the name of a specific Point of interest.

The PLAN button

To travel to a particular destination, you would normally FIND it (see the previous section) and select

the "Navigate to..." option. If you wish to specify a different departure location (rather than use your

current location), we would recommend you use the FIND button (9).

Even so, the PLAN button (8) offers an "all-in-one" interactive dialog where you can specify a

departure address, a destination address and a route type. When you press the OK button, TomTom

Navigator will try to plan a route from the departure address to the destination address.

The route type, specified on the third tab of this dialog, offers special planning options that are not

available elsewhere in the application:

Return trip: check this box to swap the departure and destination.

Shortest route: will plan the least-distance route - a route where every meter/yard counts

(rather than every minute).

Walking route: will plan a walking route - which by definition is both least-distance and least-

time, and ignores several traffic rules.

File menu options

About... Displays the application version number and copyright notices.

Properties... Provides access to the application properties (see chapter 4).

GPS status... Shows the GPS management application, offering detailed information

about your GPS receiver and its measurements, and allowing you to

change GPS-related properties.

Switch map... Allows you to choose another map (if you installed more than one map)

Exit Exits TomTom Navigator

Tools menu: Route-related menu options

Alternative

route...

If you have a planned route you may use this option to request an

alternative. TomTom Navigator will try to determine a completely

different route to your destination.

Original

route...

After planning one or more alternative routes use this option to revert to

your original route.

Route

summary... Provides a summary of the currently planned route.

Zoom to route Re-centers and zooms the map to show the whole route on the screen.

Clear route... Clears the route, departure and destinations.

Demonstrate

route

Causes the application to simulate that you are actually driving the

planned route. The demonstration will continue until you use the "STOP

demonstration" menu option.

Tools menu: Other options

Go to co-

ordinates... Allows you to find a specific location by entering longitude and latitude.

Zoom font +/- Adjusts the size of the letters used to display names on the map.

Avoid area Specifies a rectangular area on the map that needs to be avoided when

planning a route. TomTom Navigator will plan routes around such an

area (but not when for example your destination is inside the area).

Press the X in the top right corner of an avoided area to remove it. At

most 32 areas can be specified at the same time.

Clear

avoid(s)... Removes of all avoided areas at once.

Legend... Displays the map legend, showing the meaning of symbols, lines and

colors on the map currently being shown.

Route instructions

When you have planned a route, TomTom Navigator provides a table with detailed instructions. You

can view this list by selecting the "Instructions" view from the pull-down view-switching menu (1) in

the top-left corner. You can also divide the screen between this list and the map by selecting "Split

View" in the view selector (4).

The "Instructions" view allows you to review a planned route and to plan ahead. Each individual

instruction provides additional information:

Tap on an instruction - in the "Instructions" view, this pops up full-screen details about the

instruction, including a small map; in the "Split View", tapping on an instruction highlights it,

and causes the cursor on the map to move to the location involved in the instruction.
