Note: You can configure the content of the information box. If you are viewing a planned or loaded route, the route may be recalculated. Now your current position will be included as a starting point in the calculation. The navigation initially leads to the first specified route point.
The map opens in Navigation mode. The size of the map section you are viewing depends on the settings and on your speed. Refer to chapter "Configuring MobileNavigator 6", page 79 The map changes continuously. Some displays also only work if the respective information is available in the map material. Refer to chapter "Configuring HMobileNavigator 6" on page 79 for more information. Page 63 Tap on the of the navigation instructions.

If you are currently en route, the map doesn't change. It is always aligned so that north is at the top. Working with the Map Description Zoom out: The map section shown becomes larger, Page 66 User Manual MobileNavigator 6 1.
Tap on the point to which you wish to navigate. The destination on which you have tapped appears under the crosshair. In the Selected destination field in the lower third of the screen you are shown geographical coordinates of the destination and the respective address.

Options of the map in the Destination search mode The options of the map in the Destination search mode offer the following functions: Option Page Information About The Destination User Manual MobileNavigator 6 The majority of the functions described here can only be used practically if there is sufficient GPS reception in order to establish the current location.
You can see if there's sufficient GPS reception from the Information about the destination The navigation system's database has additional information about many of the destinations you specify.

Page Skipping A Stage Skipping a stage This function is only available if you are navigating and have at least 2 route points ahead of you. The map is opened in Navigation mode. Use this function is you wish to leave out the next route point.
This way you can find out quickly, e. You can then, for example, insert this lay-by as an interim destination in your route. Page 75 The T If the list is long, you can toggle using the Down buttons.

Select your desired settings. For information on how to determine the settings, please refer to "TMC Settings", page Note: This setting only takes effect if the route profile has been set to consider traffic jams. Page 79 In Automatic mode, the system searches for a station with good reception.
Tap the arrows in the Station field if you want to receive an alternative station. As soon as an alternative station has been found, its name and frequency will be displayed. In Hold Station mode, the TMC-receiver will try to find better reception of the station on another frequency. The M window", page Tap on the Settings option.

You can also simulate the route in almost real-time with no way to speed it up. Once navigating, the instructions are very clear and well timed however the internal speaker is no where near adequate; I recommend either an FM Transmitter or some lead or other to connect it to your car stereo.
The built in MP3 player has a separate volume to the navigation voice so you can have that loud enough to hear and still adjust the voice level accordingly.
At seemingly random times you get told to watch your speed, even with no speed cameras around. I can only presume that the mapping has data for the road speeds on certain roads and warns you if you exceed it. Approaching turns you get a diagram of the junction in the bottom left corner as well as a count-down display for that turn. Straying off route causes a nice, fast recalculation. Handy for getting past the traffic jams that the TMC fails to pick up the signals for!
The screen, although nice and clear, is also nice and reflective. Another comment on the touch screen is that while sensitivity, in general, is very good I found that the times when you need to select around something around the edge I often had to try twice; the second attempt involving using quite a bit more pressure. On to the extras, with the firmware upgraded to 1. The photo viewer and video player were added in the firmware upgrade and so there is no mention of these in the manual.
You can search by album, artist, track and can even save up to five favourite playlists. There are separate controls for earphone level, bass and treble too. The photo viewer is fairly basic but will open most picture files jpg, gif, bmp, png etc and has a few different settings for running a slide show. Unfortunately I found the video player to be unusable; playing a x WMV file was very poor. The sound was fine but the video would play for a second and then freeze for 3 or 4 making it impossible to watch.
There are also pedestrian, bicycle, and motorcycle route options, and our favorite, slow car mode. Other standard navigation features include automatic route recalculation, multi-stop trips, simulated demos, speed alerts, and of course, text- and voice-guided turn-by-turn directions.
There are slick transitions between maps and we'll mention the aesthetically pleasing icons again, as they add much value to the navigation experience. You can view maps in 2D or 3D mode, and with day or night colors. The map screen shows you plenty of data, such as the name of the street you're on, distance to next turn, estimated time of arrival, remaining distance, a compass, signal strength, and more.
Of course, if you feel the screen is too cluttered, you can always choose to hide some of these elements via the Settings menu. Another benefit of the Navigon software is its excellent points of interest POI database.
For example, McDonald's is identified by the familiar golden arches and Shell gas stations are noted with a shell. Clearly, the N doesn't offer branded POI for all businesses, but we're impressed and appreciative of this feature--nice touch. We found the database to be fairly up to date, though not perfect. The Pocket Loox N's media player is pretty basic, but gets the essential job done.
You can create playlists on the fly, and there's also a shuffle and a repeat mode. There's no equalizer, but you can adjust treble and bass through the Audio option under the Settings menu. You can play music while navigating, but it was our experience that the N didn't interrupt the song when giving a voice prompt. Instead, both were played at the same time, which didn't do any good.
The video player offers a full-screen mode and repeat function and works with WMV files. However, there is an included conversion app to convert other video formats. Finally, Fujitsu Siemens throws in a few extra utilities. You get a world clock, a calculator, and two games, one of which, much to our delight, was Pacman , although it's called Smart Pixie on this device.
We found the unit to be real sluggish at times. I consider myself a pretty patient person, but there are times when I was ready to walk away from this device. For example, it took over a minute for the Navigator app to launch. This also brings up the issue we mentioned in the Design section.
There were times when we'd hit an icon, such as the music player, and nothing would happen for a few seconds, so we were left wondering if our tap didn't register or if we had to tap it twice.
