6.3.1 Sound and Warnings

Adjust the sound volume, mute your device or change the voice guidance language. In
addition, you can enable and set up different warnings and alerts.

Button

Description

Tap this button to adjust the volume of the different sounds in the
application. A new screen shows the different sound types and their
controls. See below for details.

This  button  shows  the  current  voice  guidance  profile.  By  tapping  the
button,  you  can  select  a  new  profile  from  the  list  of  available
languages  and  speakers.  Tap  any  of  these  to  hear  a  sample  voice

prompt. Just tap

when you have selected the new

spoken language.

Different voice profiles are capable of different levels of service:

x Natural Voice: These prerecorded sounds can only tell you

basic information about turns and distances.

x TTS Voice: These computed voices can tell you complex

instructions, they can tell you the street names or read out the
system messages for you.

Tap this button to adjust the enhanced TTS features. The following
settings are available:

x You can set the feature to read out traffic messages.
x Whenever a route is calculated, the software can read out the

quick summary of the route.

x When you cross country borders, the application can read out

the information about the country you have just entered.

x All system messages can also be announced.

Street names sound correctly only if you use a native voice profile for
the country. You can decide whether the application

x  tries to read the street names in a foreign country,
x  use road numbers in your language or
x  announces the manoeuvre only.

You can also decide whether you want an announcement for distance
manoeuvres or it is enough to receive the information when the turn is
near.

MG Motor UK Ltd

100

Tap this button to set the verbosity of the voice instructions: how much
they tell and how often they speak.

Maps  may  contain  information  about  the  speed  limits  of  the  road
segments.  iGO  primo  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.

The maximum speed set in the vehicle profile is also used for this
warning. iGO primo alerts you if you exceed the preset value even if
the legal speed limit is higher.

This setting lets you decide whether you wish to receive visible and/or
audible warnings.

Adjust the slider to set the relative speed above which the application
initiates the warning.

The following alert types are available:

x Audio warning: you receive a verbal warning when you exceed

the speed limit with the given percentage.

x Visual warning: the current speed limit is shown on the map

when you exceed it.

If you prefer to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time
(normally it is shown only if your speed exceeds it), you can set it here.

MG Motor UK Ltd

101

This feature allows you to receive a warning when approaching a
Road Safety Camera or other alert points like school zones or railroad
crossings. You must ensure on your own liability that using this feature
is legal in the country where you intend to use it.

You can choose what alert point sources you want to use.

x Community alert points can be uploaded to your device in every

few minutes if you have an internet connection. This dynamic
information comes from navigation users like you. You have the
possibility in the application to report the alert points you find
during your journeys.

x Provider alert points can be updated dynamically like the

community alert points. These point are refreshed less
frequently but they are usually more accurate and reliable.

With an internet connection you can also send information about
community alert points:

x Report Alert Points: you can upload new alert points to the

community database.

x Give Feedback: you can give feedback about an alert point to

the community.

You can set the alert for the different alert point categories individually.
The following alert types are available:

x Audio warning: beeps can be played (natural voice) or the type

of the alert can be announced (TTS) while you are approaching
one of these points, and an extra alert can warn you if you
exceed the given speed limit while approaching.

x Visual warning: the type of the alert point, its distance and the

related speed limit appear on the Map screen while you are
approaching one of these cameras.

For some of the alert points, the enforced or expected speed limit is
available. For these points, the audio alert can be different if you are
below or above the given speed limit.

x Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you

exceed the given speed limit.

x When approaching: The audio alert is always played when

approaching one of these alert points. In order to draw your
attention, the alert is different when you exceed the speed limit.

Maps may contain driver alert information. Tap this button to turn on or
off these warnings and to set the distance from the hazard to receive
the warning at. These can be set individually for the different warning
types.

6.3.3 Driving time management

To calculate a better arrival time, it is necessary to include the waiting or loading times spent
at each waypoint. Driving timers allow you to be warned when you need a rest or you have
driven enough for the day. You have the following options:

Button

Description

Turn this switch on to be able to set the waiting time for all waypoints
of the route. This way the arrival time calculation can take into account
the idle times at intermediate destinations. In addition, time dependent
restrictions and statistical traffic information can also be considered for
the whole route.

Set up and use countdown timers to monitor the continuous and daily
driving times as described on page 84.

6.3.4 Traffic settings

The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Whenever suitable data
exists, traffic information can be taken into account in the route calculation.

Button

Description

Use  this  switch  to  enable  or  disable  historical  traffic  data  and  traffic
patterns.  This  locally  stored  information  can  be  very  useful  in  normal
circumstances  but  for  example  on  public  holidays  it  may  be  better  to
turn off in order not to take into account normal weekday traffic jams.

Use this switch to enable or disable the TMC receiver that can receive
real-time traffic information. The rest of the buttons below are all
related to the TMC function and are available only if the receiver is
enabled.

Use this switch to enable or disable receiving real-time traffic
information online. The rest of the buttons below are all related to this
real-time information and are available only if receiving is enabled.

You can also define whether to receive online traffic via the 3G
network or only when connected to a WiFi network.

This  setting  determines  how  iGO  primo  uses  the  received  real-time
traffic  information  in  route  calculation.  When  calculating  a  new  route,
or  when  recalculation  becomes  necessary  based  on  the  received
Traffic events, iGO primo avoids traffic events if it makes sense.

You can also set the minimum delay that triggers route recalculation,
and you can instruct the application if you want to confirm every
recalculation.

Tap this button to open the list of traffic event types, and select which
events to take into account in route calculation.

MG Motor UK Ltd

6.3.5 Route settings

These settings determine how routes will be calculated.

Button

Description

You can set the type of vehicle you will use to navigate the route.
Based upon this setting, some of the road types can be excluded from
the route, or some of the restrictions may not be taken into account in
route calculation.

You can edit the parameters of the selected vehicle profile, or you can
even create new vehicle profiles if you tap More.

On-road navigation creates a turn by turn itinerary using the road
network on the map. Switch to off-road navigation to navigate between
destinations in a straight line.

The route calculation can be optimised for different situations and
vehicle types by changing the planning method. See below for details.

To let the route fit your needs, you can also set which road types are to 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 My Route
screen, and the part of the route not matching your preference will be displayed in a different
colour on the map.

In the list of road types you can see in how many segments and what total length of the road
type is used in the current route.

Button

Description

You might need to avoid motorways 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.

iGO primo includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a per-use
charge) in the routes by default. If you disable toll roads, iGO primo
plans the best toll-free route.

iGO primo 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.

iGO primo excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved roads can be
in a bad condition and usually you cannot reach the speed limit on
them.

If the selected routing method is not Green, you can have your route
compared to the best green alternative on the screen when confirming
the route. If this alternative is much better than the selected method,
you can quickly switch to Green mode.

Route Planning Method types:

Button

Description

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 short route to minimise the distance to travel. Usually practical
for pedestrians, cyclists or slow vehicles. Searching for a short route
regardless of the speed, this route type is rarely practical for normal
vehicles.

Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel consumption
data given in Route settings (page 104). Travel cost and CO

emission

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

MG Motor UK Ltd

108

For vehicle types where Green routing is not available, this method
combines the benefits of Fast and Short: iGO primo calculates as if it
were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads as well to save
fuel.

Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult manoeuvres. With
this option, you can make iGO primo to take, for example, the
motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.

6.3.6 User profiles

If more drivers use iGO primofor navigating, their settings can be remembered by using one
of the user profiles. Rename the profiles after tapping the edit button on the right so that all
users know which profile to use and switch between profiles by tapping its name. If you select
a new profile, the application restarts so that the new settings can take effect.

6.3.7 Map settings
