Thank you for choosing FINDER as your door-to-door in-car navigator. Read the Quick Start Guide first and
start using FINDER right away. This document is the detailed description of the software. You can easily
discover FINDER while you are using it; however, we still recommend that you read this manual to understand
the screens and the features of FINDER.

1 Warnings and Safety information
FINDER is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your destination with its built-in GPS receiver.
FINDER does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.
It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we
recommend that you operate FINDER before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure and
stop if you need to change something in the route.
FINDER has a Safety Mode: if you turn on Safety Mode, you cannot change anything in FINDER while the
vehicle is moving at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or higher. Unless only passengers operate FINDER, we
strongly encourage you to turn on Safety Mode.
You must obey the traffic signs and follow the road geometry. If you deviate from the route that FINDER
recommended, FINDER changes the instructions accordingly.
Never place PNA where it obstructs the driver's view, where it is in the deployment zone of an airbag or where
it might cause injuries in an accident.
For more information, consult the End User Licence Agreement (page 77).

2 Getting started with FINDER
FINDER is optimised for in-car use. You can use it easily by tapping the screen buttons and the map with your
fingertips.
FINDER can plan routes throughout the whole installed map set; you do not need to change maps or switch to
a poorly detailed general map to navigate between map segments or countries.
Tasks Instructions
Using a stylus You do not need a stylus to use FINDER. Tap the buttons and the map with
your fingertips.
Double tapping the You do not need to tap the screen twice for any action. With buttons and
screen controls, a single tap is enough.
Tapping and holding the You do not need this to access the basic navigation functions. Tap and keep
screen pressing the following buttons to reach extra functions:

• Tap and hold on the Map screen: you can set the minimum and
maximum zoom level of Smart Zoom.

• Tap and hold any of the buttons on the
Map screen: you can set or reset the zoom value of the button (2D
map).

• Tap and hold any of the buttons on the

• Tap and hold or in long lists: you can scroll pages
continuously.
• Tap and hold the buttons in the Quick menu to open screens related
with the function of the button from the Manage menu or the Settings
menu.
Gestures (drag&drop) You do not need gestures to access the basic navigation features. You need
to drag and drop the screen only in cases like:
• Moving the handle on a slider.
• Moving the map: grab the map, and move it in the desired direction.
• Shortcut to open the Map screen: slide your finger from the bottom right
corner to the bottom left corner on any screen.
• Shortcut to open the Navigation menu: slide your finger from the top left
corner to the bottom left corner on any screen.

Start using FINDER
When FINDER is started the first time, you need to do the following:
1. Select the written language of the application interface. Later you can change it in Settings (page 69).
2. Select the language and speaker used for voice guidance messages. Later you can change it in
Settings (page 69).
3. Read and accept the End User Licence Agreement (page 77).
4. Select whether to start the program in Simple mode or in Advanced mode. Later you can switch
between the two operating modes in Settings.
After this, the Navigation menu appears and you can start using FINDER.
The Navigation menu in Simple mode:

The Navigation menu in Advanced mode:

The typical way of using FINDER is to select a destination, and start navigating. You can select your
destination in the following ways (not all of them are available in Simple mode):
• Use the selected location on the map (the Cursor) (page 25).
• 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 26).
• Enter an address with postal code (page 33). This way you do not need to select the name of the
settlement and the search for street names might be faster as well.
• Use a coordinate (page 36)
• Use a saved location:
• a Favourite (page 34)
• a POI (page 34)
• the History of previously set destinations and waypoints (page 36)

2.1 Simple and Advanced modes
The two operating modes of FINDER mainly differ in the menu structure and the number of available features.
The controls and screen layouts are the same.
• Simple mode: you have easy access to the most important navigation functions and the basic settings
only. The rest of the settings are set to values that are optimal for typical use.
• Advanced mode: you have access to the full functionality of FINDER.

2.2 Buttons and other controls on the screen
When you are using FINDER, you usually tap buttons on the touch screen.
You only need to confirm selections or changes in FINDER if the application needs to restart, it needs to
perform a major reconfiguration, or you are about to lose some of your data or settings. Otherwise, FINDER
saves your selections and applies the new settings without confirmation as soon as you use the controls.

• Track Information screen: A track log can be
displayed in its full length on the map.

2.3.3 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, FINDER displays the lanes and their

10

directions using small arrows either at the bottom or at the top of the map (the position of these arrows can be
modified in Map Screen settings). Arrows in yellow represent the lanes you need to take.
Where there is additional information available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are always displayed
at the top of the map. The colour 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
that signpost is displayed in vivid colours that points to the lane(s) to be taken; all others are darkened out.

2.4 FINDER concepts

2.4.1 Smart Zoom
Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:
• While following a route calculated by FINDER: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the
view angle to let you easily recognise your manoeuvre 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 in FINDER: Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly and
zoom out when you drive at high speed.

Enabling Smart Zoom

Tap the map to let the map control buttons appear, and then tap to enable Smart Zoom.

Fine-tuning Smart Zoom

Tap the map to let the map control buttons appear, and then tap and hold to open the Smart Zoom
Settings window. Modify the zoom limits of Smart Zoom if necessary.

2.4.2 Position markers

2.4.2.1 Current GPS position and Lock-on-Road

When your GPS position is available, FINDER marks your current position with the icon on the map.
The exact location of the position marker depends on the vehicle type used for route calculation.
The vehicle type can be selected in Route settings (page 67) or in the Quick Menu (page 56).

• If you choose pedestrian: The icon is at your exact GPS position. The direction of the icon
shows your actual heading.

• If you choose any of the vehicles: The icon is aligned to the nearest road to suppress GPS
position errors. The direction of the icon is one of the directions of the route.

To use the current GPS position, tap . The Position menu appears and you can save the GPS position
as one of the following:
• a Favourite
• a Road Safety Camera
• a POI

16

• a map marker Pin

2.4.2.2 Returning to normal navigation

When GPS position is available, and you have moved the map (the icon is moving or is not even

visible), or you have rotated the map in 3D mode, the button appears. Tap it to move the map back to
the GPS position and re-enable Track-up map orientation (automatic map rotation).
Note! Even if you move the map while you are driving, FINDER continues navigating if there
is an active route: it plays the voice instructions and displays the turn preview icons
according to your current GPS position.

2.4.2.3 Selected location (Cursor)
If you select a location in the Find menu, or you tap the map when the map control buttons are visible, the

Cursor appears at the selected point on the map. FINDER displays the Cursor with a radiating red dot (
) to make it visible at all zoom levels, even when it is in the background of a 3D map view.

When the Cursor is set, tap . The Cursor menu appears and you can use the Cursor as one of the
following:
• the start point of a route
• a via point in a route
• the destination of a route
You can also search for POIs around the Cursor.
Or you can save the location of the Cursor as:
• a Favourite
• a Road Safety Camera
• a POI
• a map marker Pin

2.4.2.4 Original position in the Cursor menu

When the Cursor menu is open, a special icon ( ) shows the Cursor position the menu was opened
with.

You can move and zoom the map, and you can set the Cursor to a different place. The usual Cursor ( )
appears, and the buttons of the Cursor menu initiate actions for this new location.

To return to the original Cursor position, tap . The map jumps back to the position with which the

Cursor menu was opened, and the icon appears again.

17

2.4.3 Daytime and night colour schemes
FINDER uses different colour schemes during the day and during the night.
• Daytime colours are similar to paper road maps.
• The night colour schemes use dark colours for large objects to keep the average brightness of the
screen low.
FINDER offers different daytime and night colour schemes. It can also switch automatically between the
daytime and the night scheme based on the current time and GPS position a few minutes before sunrise,
when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset, before it becomes dark.

2.4.4 Colour scheme in tunnels
When entering a tunnel, the colours of the map change. All buildings disappear, large objects (such as
surface waters or forests) and empty areas between roads become black.
However, roads and streets keep their original colours from the daytime or night colour scheme currently
used.
After leaving the tunnel, the original colours return.

2.4.5 Route calculation and recalculation
FINDER calculates the route based on your preferences:
• Route calculation method:
• Fast
• Short
• Economical
• Easy
• Vehicle types :
• Car
• Taxi
• Bus
• Emergency vehicles
• Bicycle
• Pedestrian
• Road types
• Unpaved Roads
• Permit Needed
• Motorways
• Toll Roads
• Charge Roads
• Ferries
• Cross-border Planning

18

• Carpool Lanes (appears only when used in the USA)
FINDER automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary.
Depending on the type of the TMC event, FINDER also recalculates the route if a TMC event concerns a part
of the recommended route.
For further information about Route Planning options, see page 67.

2.4.6 Itinerary
The Itinerary is the list of the route events, that is, the driving instructions.

When you are on the Map screen, you can display the Itinerary in one of the following ways:
• Tap the area between the Turn preview and the Travel data fields where the symbol of the second next

manoeuvre is displayed (for example ).

• In Advanced mode, tap the following buttons: , , .
You have the following options on the Itinerary screen:
Button Description
Any of the list items Opens the map with the selected manoeuvre in the middle.
Changes the detail level of the Itinerary. The levels are as follows:
• Detailed Instructions: all intersections are listed
• Itinerary: only significant intersections (the ones announced in
voice guidance) are listed
• Road list: the list of the roads used while navigating the route

Moves between pages for additional list items.
,

When the map is open with a manoeuvre in the middle:
Button Description
Zooms in the map.

Zooms out the map.

Moves the map to show the previous or next manoeuvre.
,
Opens a screen where you can avoid a part of the route starting from
the selected manoeuvre.

19

2.4.7 Track Logs
FINDER can log the track that you drive (page 40).
A Track Log is a recording of how your GPS position changed and it is independent of the route FINDER
calculated.
Track Logs can be recorded, renamed, replayed, shown on the map, exported to a memory card in GPX
format, and deleted. See page 61.
Independently of the normal track log, you can instruct FINDER to record the native GPS data received from
the GPS device. These logs are saved as separate text files on an inserted memory card, and they cannot be
shown or replayed in FINDER.

To turn on NMEA/SIRF log saving, tap the following buttons: , , ,

.

2.4.8 Route demonstration
A simulation drives you through the route, following the driving instructions (page 39). You can choose from a
simulation at high speed or at normal driving speed.
You can use it, for example, to see which bridge FINDER planned for the route; if you do not want to take that
bridge, you can avoid it.

Route demonstrations can be started from the Route menu by tapping the (high speed

simulation) or the (simulation at normal speed) button.

2.4.9 POI (Points of Interest)
A point of interest (POI) is a location that someone might find useful or interesting. FINDER is delivered with
thousands of POIs and you can also create your own POIs in the application.
POI locations are marked on the map with special icons. POI icons are quite large so you can easily recognise
the symbol. The icons are also semi-transparent: they do not cover the streets and intersections behind them.
POIs are grouped into several levels of categories and subcategories. The icon of a POI that comes with the
map shows the symbol of the POI category. If you save your own POI, you can select an icon for it
independently of the POI category you have put it in.

Saving POIs

To save a POI, place the Cursor ( ) at the desired location, then tap the following buttons: ,

, .

Managing POIs

20

You can select which POI groups to show and which ones to hide on the map, and from which zoom levels
POI icons are visible. At the same place you can manage your saved POIs. A saved POI can be renamed,
moved to a different POI group, its icon can be changed, or a phone number and additional information can be

added to it. Tap the following buttons: , , .

2.4.10 Road Safety Cameras
The location of a Road Safety Camera is a special POI. These cannot be searched like other POIs, and there
is a special proximity warning only for cameras.

Camera warning

The warning for Road Safety Cameras can be turned on in Warning Settings. Tap the following buttons:

, , , .
When you approach a Road Safety Camera with the warning enabled, the following happens:
• Visible Warning: The type of the camera is displayed in the secondary Turn Preview field (for example

).
• Audible Warning: If there is no speed limit specified for the camera, or your speed is under the
specified speed limit, single beeps warn you about the camera.
• If you exceed the speed limit of the camera, the following also happens:
• Visible Warning: A symbol with the speed limit appears in the corner of the map (for example:

),
• Audible Warning: A special alert sound is played.

2.4.10.1 Camera types
There are different types of Road Safety Cameras.
Icon Type Description
Fixed Some speed cameras stand by the roadside, looking in one direction,
measuring one or both directions of the traffic. They measure your
current speed. For these speed cameras you can specify the
controlled traffic direction and the speed limit. FINDER warns you
when you approach these speed cameras in the measured direction. If
your speed exceeds the speed limit near the speed camera, FINDER
plays a special warning sound.
Mobile Some speed cameras are operated from vehicles. They do not always
work and they are not set to check a preset speed limit. The warning is
similar to fixed speed cameras, but as there is no speed limit given,
only the proximity is announced.
Built-in Some speed cameras are built into traffic lights. They work like fixed
speed cameras, but they are difficult to spot. The warning for proximity
and speeding is the same as for the fixed speed cameras.
Section control These speed cameras work in pairs, and do not measure your current
speed but your average speed between the two speed cameras. Both
identify your car and record the exact time you pass them. They use
the difference between the two points in time to calculate your average
speed.
FINDER warns you when you approach one of these speed cameras,
but as you pass by, the warning stays on, and your average speed is
measured until you reach another speed camera of this type. If your
average speed exceeds the speed limit between the two speed
cameras, you receive the same special warning sound as with the
other speed camera types.
In the rare case FINDER cannot register the moment you pass the

22

Icon Type Description
second speed camera (for example, it is placed at the exit of a tunnel
where GPS position is not yet available) the warning continues. Just
tap the speed camera symbol displayed on the screen to stop the
warning.
Red light These cameras check if you obey traffic lights. The warning is similar
to mobile speed cameras: as there is no speed limit given, only the
proximity is announced.

2.4.10.2 Camera directions
A speed camera can measure the speed of one direction of the traffic, both directions, or even several
directions in an intersection, when they are mounted on a rotating base. The same directions apply to red light
cameras. FINDER warns you only if you drive in a measured or possibly measured direction. The measured
direction of the camera appears with the following symbols:
Icon Description
The camera checks speed in the direction into which you are driving.

The camera checks speed in the opposite driving direction.

The camera checks speed in both directions on the road.

The camera can check speed in any direction.

2.4.11 Speed limit warning
Maps sometimes contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. This information may not
be available for your region (ask your local dealer) or may not be fully correct for all roads on the map.

You can configure FINDER to warn you if you exceed the current limit. Tap the following buttons: ,

, , .
When you exceed the speed limit, the following happens:

• Visible Warning: A symbol with the speed limit appears in the corner of the map (for example:
).
• Audible Warning: A voice message is played using the selected voice guidance profile.

23

2.4.12 TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
FINDER can provide you with even better routes if Traffic Message Channel (TMC) information is available.
TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic and
weather information.
TMC is enabled by default in FINDER.
Note! TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your country or region. Ask your
local dealer for coverage details.

You need a TMC receiver attached to your device to receive TMC data.
If public TMC data is broadcast at your location, FINDER automatically takes into account the TMC data
received. You do not need to set anything in the program. The receiver will automatically search the FM radio
stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will immediately be used in route planning. The moment
FINDER receives traffic information that may affect your route, the program will warn you that it is
recalculating the route, and navigation will continue with a new route that is optimal considering the most up-
to-date traffic conditions.
If necessary, you can change the settings related to TMC, or select a specific radio station to receive. Tap the

3 Navigating with FINDER
You can set up your route in FINDER in several ways:
• if you need a simple route (a route with only one destination, without any intermediate via points), you
can select the destination and start navigating to it right away
• you can plan a multi-point route (available in Advanced mode only)
• you can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position or even without GPS reception
(available in Advanced mode only)

3.1 Selecting the destination of a route
FINDER offers you several ways of choosing your destination and via points (intermediate destinations):
• Use the selected location on the map (the Cursor) (page 25).
• 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 26).
• Enter an address with postal code (page 33). This way you do not need to select the name of the
settlement and the search for street names might be faster as well.
• Use a coordinate (page 36)
• Use a saved location:
• a Favourite (page 34)
• a POI (page 34)
• the History of previously set destinations and waypoints (page 36)

Tip! If you are going to use a route later, save it before you start navigating. Tap the


3.1.1 Selecting the Cursor as the destination
1. Locate your destination on the map: move and scale the map as needed (page 8).

2. Tap the location that you want to select as your destination. The Cursor ( ) appears.

3. Tap to open the Cursor menu.

4. The map appears with the selected point in the middle. Tap (Simple mode) or

(Advanced mode) from the Cursor menu. The route is then automatically
calculated, and you can start navigating.

Tip! If you know that you will use a destination later, when the Cursor menu appears, save
it as a POI, or put it on the list of your Favourites first. The Cursor menu returns

25

automatically with the same point. Now you can use it as a route point.

3.1.2 Entering an address or part of an 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 centre of a settlement
• an intersection
• the midpoint of a street
• any of the above, starting the search with the postal code (page 33)

3.1.2.1 Entering an address
The parts of the address are shown on buttons. Start reading from the top, and if you want to change any of
them, tap the button.

The procedure is explained starting from the Navigation menu.

1. Tap the following buttons: (Simple mode), or , (Advanced mode).
2. By default, FINDER proposes the country and settlement where you are. If needed, tap the button with
the name of the country, and select a different one from the list.
3. By default, FINDER proposes the country, state and settlement where you are. If needed, tap the
button with the name of the country, and select a different one from the list. If you select a new country,

you also need to select the state, or tap to search for a settlement regardless of the
state it is in.
4. If needed, change the settlement:

• To select the settlement from the list of recently used ones, tap the button.
• To enter a new settlement:
1. Tap the button with the name of the settlement, or if you have changed the country/state,

tap .
2. Start entering the settlement name on the keyboard.

4. Select the street from the list.
6. Enter the house number:

1. Tap .
2. Enter the house number on the keyboard.

3. Tap to finish entering the address.



3.1.2.2 Entering an address (North America, Australia)
In some countries, the state is also used in addresses. If you are in one of these countries, or choose any of
them from the list of countries, five lines appear on the screen:


2. By default, FINDER proposes the country, state and settlement where you are. If needed, tap the
button with the name of the country, and select a different one from the list. If you select a new country,

27

you also need to select the state, or tap to search for a settlement regardless of the
state it is in.

3.1.2.3 Entering an address if house numbering is restarted
There are long roads where house numbering is restarted at some point. This way the same house number
can appear twice or even more times on the same road. If this is the case, after entering the house number,
you need to select the appropriate address by the district/suburb information.

2. By default, FINDER proposes the country/state and settlement where you are. If needed, tap the button
with the name of the country/state, and select a different one from the list.

screen, their list appears automatically.
6. Tap the desired intersecting street in the list.



3.1.2.6 Selecting a city centre as the destination
The City Centre is not the geometric centre of the settlement but an arbitrary point the map creators have
chosen. In towns and villages, it is usually the most important intersection; in larger cities, it is an important
intersection.

3.1.2.8 Tips on entering addresses quickly
• When you are entering the name of a settlement or a street, FINDER only displays those characters
that appear in possible search results. The other characters are greyed out.

• When entering the settlement name or the street name, tap the button after a couple
of letters; FINDER lists the items that contain the specified letters.
• You can speed up finding an intersection:
• Search first for the street with a less common or less usual name; fewer letters are enough to
find it.
• If one of the streets is shorter, search for that one first. You can then find the second one faster.
• You can search for both the type and the name of a road. If the same word appears in several names,
for example in the name of streets, roads and avenues, you can obtain the result faster if you enter the
first letter of the street type: For example, enter Pi A to obtain Pine Avenue and skip all Pine Streets
and Pickwick Roads.
• You can also search in postal codes. This is useful when a street name is common and it is used in
several districts of a city.

3.1.3 Selecting the destination from your Favourites
You can select a location that you have already saved as a Favourite to be your destination.

1. Tap the following buttons: (Simple mode) or , (Advanced
mode).
2. Tap the Favourite that you want to set as your destination.



3.1.4 Selecting the destination from the POIs
You can select your destination from the POIs included with FINDER or from the ones you have previously
created.

2. Select the area around which the POI should be searched for:

• : The POI will be searched for around a given address.

34

• : The map appears with the Cursor in the middle. Modify the location of the Cursor if

necessary, then tap . The POI will be searched for around the given location.

• : The POI will be searched for around the current GPS position.

• : The POI will be searched for around the destination of the active route.

• : The POI will be searched for not around a given point, but by the size of the
detour it adds to the active route. This can be useful if you search for a later stopover that
causes only a minimal detour, for example upcoming petrol stations or restaurants.
3. You can narrow the search with the following:
• Select the POI group (e.g. Accommodation), and after that, if needed, select the POI subgroup
(e.g. Hotel or Motel).

• To find the POI by its name, tap , and use the keyboard to enter a part of the
name.

• To list all POIs in a given POI group, tap .
4. [optional] When finally the list of results appear, you can sort the list:

• : sort the list alphabetically (available when you search around a single location)

• : sort the list by the distance from your current position in a straight line (available
when you search around a single location)

• : sort the list by the distance to drive on route from your current position (available
when you search along the active route)

• : sort the list by the size of the needed detour (available when you search along
the active route)
5. Tap the desired POI in the list.

6. Review the details of the selected item and tap .



3.1.5 Selecting the destination with saved POI search criteria
POI search criteria can be saved in the POI section of the Manage menu, but FINDER is already shipped with
some saved criteria you can use instantly when searching for a POI.

35



2. Tap .
3. Select one of the saved criteria, and the list of matching POIs appears.
4. Tap the desired POI in the list.



3.1.6 Selecting the destination from the History
The destinations that you have set earlier appear in the History.

1. Tap the following buttons: (Simple mode), or , (Advanced
mode).

1. Tap the following buttons: , .

2. [optional] Tap to change the format of the displayed coordinates.
3. Tap the latitude or longitude value to change the coordinates.
4. Enter the coordinate values in WGS84 format on the keyboard: the latitude (N or S) and the longitude
(E or W).

5. Tap .

3.2 Creating a multi-point route (inserting a via point)
Multi-point routes are created from simple routes, so a route must be active first. One of the ways of
expanding the route is to keep the destination, and to add via points (intermediate destinations).
1. Select a new location as you did in the previous sections. This will be the additional destination in the
route.
2. The map appears with the selected point in the middle, and the Cursor menu opens automatically.

3. Tap to add the point as an intermediate destination preceding the final
destination of the route.
4. [optional] To add more points to the route, repeat the above steps as many times as you like.
If you insert a via point in a route that is already a multi-point route, you will automatically be taken to the Edit
Route screen where you can determine the position of the intermediate route point. When you enter the
screen, the new via point is placed as the last via point before the final destination. The new point is the
selected point in the list.
You have the following options:
Button Action
The selected point moves up in the list (becomes a via point to be reached earlier).
Tap this button repeatedly, and the point becomes the start point of the route.
The selected point moves down in the list (becomes a via point to be reached later).
Tap this button repeatedly, and the point becomes the final destination of the route.
The route is reversed. The start point becomes the destination, the destination
becomes the start point, and all via points are to be reached in the opposite order
than before.
The route is optimised. The start point and the destination remain at their position,
but the via points are reordered to make the shortest possible route.
The selected point is removed from the route. The route remains as it was before
adding the new point.

Every time a new point is added, the route is recalculated automatically, and you can start navigating right
away.

3.3 Creating a multi-point route (appending a new destination)
destination Multi-point routes are created from simple routes, so a route must be active first. One of the ways
of expanding the route is to add a new destination. The previous destination becomes the last via point of the
route.

37

1. Select a new location as you did in the previous sections. This will be the additional destination in the
route.
2. The map appears with the selected point in the middle, and the Cursor menu opens automatically.

3. Tap to open the full Cursor menu with the additional functions.

4. Tap to add the point as a new final destination demoting the previous one to the
last intermediate destination.
5. [optional] To add more points to the route, repeat the above steps as many times as you like.
Every time a new point is added, the route is recalculated automatically and you can start navigating right
away.

3.4 Editing the route

Tap the following buttons: , , .
The list of route points appear with the start point at the top of the list and the final destination at the bottom. If
several via points exist, you might need to scroll between pages.
Tap one of the route points in the list. You have the following options:
Button Action
The selected point moves up in the list (becomes a via point to be reached earlier). Tap
this button repeatedly, and the point becomes the start point of the route.
The selected point moves down in the list (becomes a via point to be reached later).
Tap this button repeatedly, and the point becomes the final destination of the route.
The route is reversed. The start point becomes the destination, the destination
becomes the start point, and all via points are to be reached in the opposite order than
before.
The route is optimised. The start point and the destination remain at their position, but
the via points are reordered to make the shortest possible route.
The selected point is removed from the route.

As soon as you leave this screen, the route is recalculated automatically, and you can start navigating right
away.

3.5 Viewing the entire route on the map (Fit-to-Screen)
The map can be moved and scaled to show the whole line of the route. You do not need to manipulate the
map manually. The Plan on Map feature does it for you.
In Advanced mode you have the following options to enter Plan on Map:

• Via the Find menu: tap , , .

38

• Via the Route Information screen: tap , , , .

• Via the Route Information screen using a shortcut: tap , .
In Simple mode the last option is available only.

3.6 Watching the simulation of the route
The procedure is explained starting from the Map screen.

1. Tap the following buttons: , .
2. The Route menu appears. There are two ways of running the route simulation:

• Tap to run the simulation at high speed to give you a quick overview of the
route.

• Tap to run the simulation at normal speed and with voice guidance instructions
announced. This option is for demonstration purposes, or for checking difficult parts of the route
in advance.

3. The simulation can be aborted any time by tapping .

3.7 Enabling Safety Mode
Safety Mode disables the touch screen above 10 km/h (6 mph) to keep your attention on the road. While
driving, you will not be able to set a new destination or to change settings. The only screen control that
remains enabled is the gesture that puts you back on the Map screen.

Tap the following buttons: , , , .

3.8 Pausing the active route
You do not need to pause the active route: when you start driving again, FINDER restarts the voice
instructions from your position.

39

3.9 Deleting the next via point from the route
The easiest way to delete the upcoming route point (the next via point) in both Simple mode and Advanced

mode is to open the Route Information screen by tapping the Turn Preview field ( ) on the Map screen,

and then tapping .

In Advanced mode, you have another option. Tap the following buttons: , , ,

.

3.10 Deleting the active route
The easiest way to delete the active route in both Simple mode and Advanced mode is to open the Route

Information screen by tapping the Turn Preview field ( ) on the Map screen, and then tapping

.

In Advanced mode, you have another option. Tap the following buttons: , , .
Note! If via points exist in the active route, you cannot delete the route immediately on the

Route Information screen. Tap repeatedly until all via points

disappear and the button appears. Tap it to cancel the whole route.

3.11 Using Track Logs
FINDER can record the track (how your GPS position changed) that you drive.
Tip! You do not need to select a destination and create a route for this; you can also
record your driving path while cruising.


Recording the travelled path (creating a Track Log)
1. Start driving.

2. Tap the following buttons: , , .

40

3. Start the recording: tap the button.
You return to the map and you can continue driving.

4. Repeat the above steps, then tap later to stop the recording. FINDER labels the
Track Log with a time stamp.

(As an alternative, you can tap the button in the Quick menu to start, and later to stop the Track Log
recording.)

Simulating a Track Log on the map


2. Locate the desired Track Log, and then tap the button next to it.
3. The map returns, and the Track Log simulation (a life-like replay) begins.

4. You can stop the replay any time by tapping the button.

Changing the colour of a Track Log

2. Tap the desired Track Log and then tap one of the colour buttons.

3.12 Saving a route


2. Enter a name for the saved route, and then tap .
When you save a route, FINDER not only saves the route points but the whole itinerary:
• The saved route might have been influenced by TMC information. When you later use the route, it
appears as it was saved. But if it needs to be recalculated, the current TMC information will be used in
the new route.
• If you updated your map since you first saved the route, FINDER recognises the change, and
recalculates the driving instructions according to the latest available map information.

41

• FINDER deletes from the route any via points that you already left behind during navigation together
with the road segments used to reach it. To avoid this, if you want to save the route, you need to save it
before you start navigating.

3.13 Loading a saved route

2. Tap the route you wish to navigate.
3. In the very likely case when the start position of the saved route is different from the current GPS
position, you need to confirm whether you want to stop navigating from the current GPS position to use
the start point of the loaded route.
• If you choose this option, automatic off-route recalculation will be disabled.
• If you choose to keep the current GPS position as the start point, the route will be recalculated
starting from your current position.
4. The map appears, and you can start navigating.

42

4 Reference Guide (Advanced mode)
On the following pages you will find the description of the different menu screens of FINDER in Advanced
mode. In Simple mode, these functions work the same way, but only a few of them are available.

The Navigation menu:
FINDER starts with the Navigation menu. From there you can access the following screens:
Screen Button Description
Map The Map screen.

deleting it or parts of it) or planning a route without GPS reception.
Manage Managing user data, such as saved locations (POIs, Favourites,
Pins, and History items), Saved Routes, and Track Logs.
Settings Managing the behaviour of FINDER, for example the map layout
during navigation, the used languages or the warnings.

4.1 Map screen
FINDER is primarily intended for land navigation. That is why maps in FINDER look similar to paper road
maps. However, FINDER provides much more than regular paper maps: you can customise the look and the
content of the map.
The most important and most often used screen of FINDER is the Map screen.

During navigation, the screen shows route information and trip data (left screenshot), but when you tap the
map, additional buttons and controls appear for a few seconds (right screenshot). Most parts of the screen

4.1.1 Icons on the map
There are several status icons on the map. Most of them also function as a button. The information they
provide is as follows:

45

• GPS position quality
• Battery status
• Vehicle type used for route calculation
• Sound status (muted or enabled)
• Track log recording status
• TMC reception and processing status
• Bluetooth connection and communication status

4.1.1.1 Battery, GPS position quality and Vehicle type indicator
This area is a multiple status indicator, and also acts as a button that opens the Quick menu.
The battery part shows information about the rechargeable battery of the device.
Icon Description
The battery is charging. The device runs on external power.

The battery is not charging but it is full.

The battery is not full but it still has enough capacity.

You need to recharge the battery.

GPS reception quality shows the current accuracy of the position information.
Icon Description
FINDER has no connection to the GPS receiver: GPS navigation is not
possible.
Devices with a built-in GPS receiver are permanently connected. On such
devices, the icon does not appear in normal circumstances.

FINDER is connected to the GPS receiver, but the signal is too weak and
the receiver cannot determine the GPS position.
GPS navigation is not possible.

Only a few satellites are received. Position information is available, but

4.1.1.2 Status indicator strip
This is a multiple status indicator. It indicates the following status information on a single strip:
Icon Description
The sound output of FINDER is muted.

The sound output of FINDER is enabled.

FINDER records a Track log when GPS position is available.

Track log recording is disabled.

No TMC receiver is connected or TMC is turned off.

A TMC receiver is connected and a radio station with TMC broadcast is received.

There are new, unread Traffic events.

A part of the route is bypassed based on Traffic events.

A part of the route is mentioned in Traffic events but it has not been bypassed (for
example, even the best detour would be too long) or it could not be bypassed (for
example, the destination is on a congested street).
The Bluetooth radio is switched off.

The Bluetooth radio is turned on, but no telephone is connected.

There is an error in the Bluetooth connection.

FINDER is connected to a telephone as a handsfree set via Bluetooth.

A phone call is in progress over the Bluetooth connection.

4.1.1.3 Next two route events (Turn Preview fields)
There are two fields reserved on the Map screen to display the next two manoeuvres (route events that are
listed in the Itinerary). Both the type of the event (turn, roundabout, exiting motorway, etc.) and its distance
from the current GPS position is displayed.
Most of these icons are very intuitive and you also know them as road signs. The following table lists some of
the frequently shown route events. The same symbols are used in both fields:

47

Icon Description
Turn left.

In certain situations when route events are not important, these fields show other useful pieces of information.
They are described here: page 11.

4.1.2 Objects on the map

4.1.2.1 Streets and roads
FINDER shows the streets in a way that is similar to how the paper road maps show them. Their width and
colours correspond to their importance: you can easily tell a motorway from a small street.
Tip! If you prefer not to see street names during navigation, turn them off (page 65).

4.1.2.2 3D object types
FINDER supports the following 3D object types:

48

Type Description
3D landmarks Landmarks are 3D artistic or block representations of prominent or well-known
objects. 3D landmarks are only available in selected cities and countries.

Elevation model Hills and mountains are shown in the background of the 3D map view, and
illustrated by colour on the 2D map.
Elevated roads Complex intersections and vertically isolated roads (such as overpasses or
underground tunnels) are displayed in 3D.
3D buildings Full 3D city building data that represents actual building size and position on the
map. Building data is limited to the city centres of major cities in the US and Europe.
3D terrain 3D terrain map data shows changes in terrain, elevations or depressions in the land
when you view the map, and use it to plot the route map in 3D when you navigate.

To fine-tune 3D visualisation on the map, tap the following buttons: , , ,

.

4.1.2.3 Elements of the active route
FINDER shows the route in the following way:
Symbol Name Description
Current GPS position Your current position displayed on the map.
• In pedestrian mode it is the exact GPS position.
• If a vehicle is selected for route calculation, the
arrow is put on the nearest road.
The location selected in the Find menu, or a map point
Cursor (selected map location)
selected by tapping the map.

Start point The first point of the route.
Normally if GPS position is available, it is the start point
of the route. If there is no valid GPS position, FINDER
uses the last known GPS position as the start point.
When you are using a saved route, FINDER asks you if
you want to use your GPS position or the first point in
the saved route as the start point.
You can also modify the start point in the Cursor menu.
If you do so, automatic off-route recalculation needs to
be turned off to keep the selected point as the start
point.
If automatic off-route recalculation is disabled for any of

the above, tapping the icon in the Turn Preview
field not only initiates route recalculation from the
current GPS position, but it will re-enable the automatic
off-route recalculation as well.
A via point is an intermediate destination. You can
Via point
place as many via points as you want.

Destination (end point) The last point of the route, the final destination.

Route colour The route always stands out with its colour on the map,
both in daytime and in night colour mode. The active
leg of the route is always displayed in a brighter shade
than the inactive (upcoming) legs.
Active leg of the route The section of the route on which you are driving.
If you have not added any via points (only a
destination), the entire route is the active leg. If you
have added via points, the active leg is the part of the
route from your current location to the next route point
(the next via point, or the destination if there are no
more via points to reach).
Inactive legs of the route The future sections of the route; each of them becomes
active when you reach the via point at its beginning.
Streets and roads that are You can choose whether you want to use or avoid
excluded from the navigation certain road types (page 67). However, when FINDER
cannot avoid such roads, the route will include them
and it will show them in a colour that is different from
the route colour.

50

4.1.3 Detour menu
This screen contains quick detour possibilities during navigation. It can be opened directly from the Map

screen by tapping .
You have the following options:
• On the main part of the screen you can see the first page of Saved Search Criteria. Select any of the
criteria to quickly receive the list of nearest matching POIs, and instantly plan a new route to the
desired one, or insert it as a via point in your active route.
• In Advanced mode more buttons appear at the bottom:

• : If you want to bypass a part of the route starting from the next intersection,
tap this button, and select a distance to bypass.

• : If you have used the above function before, tap this button to clear the
restrictions from the map.

4.1.4 Cursor menu
As soon as you select one point in the Find menu, the map appears with the Cursor menu, a menu with
possible actions for the selected point.
Alternatively when you tap the map, control buttons appear. Tap again to place the Cursor, a radiating red dot.

Now tap , and the Cursor menu opens with a list of options.
In order to show a part of the map with the Cursor menu, it contains only a few buttons first. Tap

to get all the options.
Button Description
Closes the Cursor menu, and returns to the previous screen.

Zooms in the map.

With the Cursor menu open, you can still move or scale the map, and tap
the map anywhere to place the Cursor to a new location, but when you use
this button, the Cursor jumps back to the place where it was at the time
when you opened the Cursor menu.
Displayed at the Cursor if it is at the same location with which the Cursor
menu was opened.
Displayed at the Cursor if it has been relocated since the Cursor menu was
opened.
Opens a new screen with the address and coordinate of the Cursor, and the
list of nearby POIs.
Opens the full-screen Cursor menu with all the possible options.

A new route is calculated with the Cursor as the destination. The previous
route is deleted.

51

Button Description
If the Cursor is at or near the destination, this button replaces the previous
one, and deletes the current destination from the route. The last via point is
promoted as destination, or if there are no via points, the route is deleted.
The Cursor is added to the active route as an intermediate route point, a
point to be reached before the destination. If there is already a via point in
the route, the Edit Route screen opens to let you decide where the new via
point is to appear in the route.
If the Cursor is at or near one of the via points, this button replaces the
previous one, and deletes the selected via point from the route. The route is
recalculated without the deleted point.
The Cursor is appended at the end of the route as the new destination. The
previous destination is demoted, and becomes the last via point.

This button is similar to the button, but a new screen
opens, and the route is calculated with all the possible route calculation
methods (Fast, Short, Economical and Easy). Observe the results, and
choose one of the routes to navigate.
The Cursor becomes the start point of the route. This means that the route
is not started from the current GPS position, and Automatic Off-route
Recalculation needs to be turned off to keep the selected point as the start
point.
If the Cursor is at or near the selected start point, this button replaces the
previous one and deletes the start point from the route. The current GPS
position is used again as the start point, and Automatic Off-route
Recalculation is re-enabled.
The Cursor is saved as a user POI. Select the POI group and give a name
for the POI, then select a suitable icon, enter a phone number, and
additional information if you like.
Map locations can be marked with Pins. Unlike POIs, a Pin has no name
and other details, only a colour to let you tell one from another on the map.
If the Cursor is at or near a Pin, this button replaces the previous one, and
deletes the Pin the Cursor is near to.
The Cursor is saved as the location of a Road Safety Camera (speed
camera or red light camera). A new screen appears where you can set the
type of the camera, the direction of the measured traffic, and the speed limit
checked for (if applicable).
If the Cursor is at or near a Road Safety Camera, this button replaces the
previous one, and opens a new screen where you can edit the details of the
camera.
The location of the Cursor is added to the list of frequently visited
destinations, the so called Favourites. You can give a name for the
Favourite.

4.1.5 Position menu
When you follow the recommended route on the map (the Cursor is the current GPS position), the Position
menu replaces the Cursor menu. It does not contain buttons that modify the current route, as the GPS position
is not useful as a route point.

To open the Position menu, tap .

52

4.1.6 Route Information screen

4.5.3 Route Planning options

These settings determine how routes will be calculated. Tap the following buttons: , ,

.
Button Description
Vehicle You can set the type of vehicle you will use to navigate the route.
Based upon this setting, some of the road types will be excluded from
the route (e.g. motorways for pedestrians), or some of the restrictions
may not be taken into account (e.g. emergency vehicles have only a
few restrictions).
Road Types Used for Route To let the route fit your needs, you can also set which road types are to
Planning be considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible.
Excluding a road type is a preference. It does not necessarily mean
total prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some of
the excluded road types, they will be used but only as much as
necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on the Route
Information screen, and the part of the route not matching your
preference will be displayed in a different colour on the map.
Route Calculation Method You can choose from different route types. The routing method can also
be chosen while creating the route: when the destination is selected,

tap in the Cursor menu.
Use Traffic Information When TMC messages are received, this setting tells FINDER whether
to use that information in route planning.
Recalculate to Avoid Traffic This setting determines how FINDER uses the received TMC
information in route recalculation:
• Automatic: When route recalculation becomes necessary based
on the received TMC events, FINDER recalculates the route
automatically.
• Manual: When route recalculation becomes necessary based on
the received TMC events, FINDER notifies you, but you can
decide whether to recalculate the route or not.
• Disabled: TMC events are only taken account when the route is
recalculated in an off-route situation.

Vehicle types:
• Car
• Taxi
• Bus
• Emergency vehicles

67

• Bicycle
• Pedestrian

Road Types Used for Route Planning:

Type Description
Motorways You might need to avoid motorways when you are driving a slow car or you are
towing another vehicle.
Unpaved roads FINDER excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved roads can be in a bad
condition and usually you cannot reach the speed limit on them.
Toll roads By default FINDER includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a per-use charge)
in the routes. If you disable toll roads, FINDER plans the best toll-free route.
Charge roads 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.
Permit needed You might need a permit or permission from the owners to use certain roads or to
enter certain areas.
FINDER excludes these roads from the route calculation by default.
Ferries FINDER 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.
Cross-border In some cases the route calculated according to your other navigation and route
planning preferences would lead through another country. If you wish to always stay within
the same country, turn this option off.
Carpool lanes This control appears only when navigating in the USA. You should check whether
you are allowed to use carpool lanes before enabling this road type.

Route Calculation Method types:

Option Description
Fast Gives the quickest possible route if you can travel at or near the speed limit on all
roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars.
Short Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes between the
route points. Usually practical for pedestrians, cyclists or slow vehicles.
Economical Combines the benefits of Fast and Short: FINDER calculates as if it were
calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads as well to save fuel.
Easy Results in a route with fewer turns. With this option, you can make FINDER to take,
for example, the motorway instead of series of smaller roads or streets.

68

By turning off this feature you also turn off the GPS position error
filtering. The position shown on the map will be subject to all position
errors and position fluctuations.
Off-route Recalculation This switch tells FINDER whether to automatically recalculate the route
when you deviate from it. If this feature is turned off, you need to initiate
route recalculation manually otherwise navigation will be stopped until
you return to the originally recommended route.
Setting another point than the current GPS position as the start point of
the active route will automatically disable this feature.
Restore Lock-to-Position If you have moved or rotated the map during navigation, this feature
moves the map back to your current GPS position and re-enables
automatic map rotation after the given period of inactivity.
Automatic Overview This feature switches the map view to Overview mode when the next
route event is at a distance. Overview is a zoomed out 2D view to let
you see the surrounding area. You have the following controls for
Automatic Overview:

segments. FINDER is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit.
This information may not be available for your region (ask your local
dealer), or may not be fully correct for all roads in the map. This setting
lets you decide whether you wish to receive the warnings. You can set
the relative speeding level at which the application warns you (100%
represents the current speed limit):
• In Built-up Areas: in cities and towns
• Elsewhere: at all other locations
There are two types of warnings. You can turn them on or off
independently:
• Audible Warning: A voice message is played using the selected
voice guidance profile.
• Visible Warning: A symbol with the speed limit appears in the

corner of the map (for example: ).
Speed Camera Warning This feature allows you to receive a warning when approaching a Road
Safety Camera. You must ensure on your own liability that using this
feature is legal in the country where you intend to use it. You have the
following options:
• Audible Warning: beeps can be played while you are approaching
the camera, or just alert sounds if you exceed the speed limit
while approaching one of these cameras.
• Visible Warning: the type of the camera and the monitored speed
limit appear on the Map screen while you are approaching one of
these cameras.
Warn if Too Fast for a Enable this warning to be alerted if pedestrian mode is activated and
Pedestrian you drive fast. You are asked if you want to change to car navigation
mode. This way you can be sure you will not be routed via one-way
roads in the wrong direction as a pedestrian could, for example.
Safety Mode Safety Mode disables the touch screen above 10 km/h (6 mph) to keep
your attention on the road. While driving, you will not be able to set a

5 Glossary

2D/3D GPS reception
The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and needs at least four signals to give a
three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are moving and because objects can
block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four signals. If three satellites are available, the receiver
can calculate the horizontal GPS position but the accuracy is lower and the GPS device does not give you
elevation data: only 2D reception is possible.

Active route
The currently navigated route. You can save and load routes in FINDER, but only one route can be active at
any given time, and it is always active until you delete it, reach your destination or you quit FINDER. See also:
Route.

City Centre
The City Centre is not the geometric centre of the settlement but an arbitrary point the map creators have
chosen. In towns and villages, it is usually the most important intersection; in larger cities, it is an important
intersection.

GPS accuracy
Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position and the one given by the GPS device.
For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting objects near the GPS device have a different and
varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can calculate your position.

Map
FINDER works with digital maps which are not simply the computerised versions of traditional paper maps.
Similarly to the paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps show you streets, roads, and elevation is also
shown by colours.
In 3D mode, you can see the altitude differences, for example valleys and mountains, elevated roads, and in
selected cities 3D landmarks and 3D buildings are also displayed.
You can use digital maps interactively: you can zoom in and out (increase or decrease the scale), you can tilt
them up and down, and turn them left and right. In GPS-supported navigation, digital maps facilitate route
planning.

North-up map orientation
In North-up mode the map is rotated so its top always faces North. This is the orientation in 2D map view
mode and in Overview mode. See also: Track-up map orientation.

75

Overview mode
You can instruct FINDER to automatically switch to Overview mode if the next route event is in a distance. In
Overview mode the map is shown in 2D but scaled down to a predefined zoom level. When you approach the
next route event, the previous 2D or 3D map view returns automatically.

Route
A series of destinations to be reached one after the other. A simple route contains one start point and only
one destination. Multi-point routes contain one or more via points (intermediate destinations). The last route
point is the final destination and the route is cut into different legs (from one destination to the next).

Scheme
FINDER comes with different colour schemes for the map for daytime or night use. Schemes are custom
graphic settings for the map and they can have different colours for streets, blocks or surface waters in 2D
and 3D modes, and they display shades or shadows in different ways in 3D mode.
One daytime scheme and one night scheme is always selected. FINDER uses them when it switches from
day to night and back.

Track-up map orientation
In Track-up mode the map is rotated so its top always points in the current driving direction. This is the default
orientation in 3D map view mode. See also: North-up map orientation.

Road Safety Camera
A special POI type for speed cameras and red light cameras. Different data sources are available, and you
can also mark the position of a Road Safety Camera on the map.
You can configure FINDER to warn you when you approach one of these cameras.
