Part 2 Navigation
UK English
N400i (v1.0)
1 Warnings and safety information
Navsure N400i is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected
destination. It will determine your exact location with the help of the built-in GPS
device. The position information obtained from the GPS receiver will not be
transmitted anywhere, so others will not be able to track you by the help of this
program.
If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate Navsure N400i
before beginning your journey. The driver’s attention should always be on the road.
Plan your route before departure and pull over if you need to change route
parameters. Navsure N400i has a built-in (optional) Safety Mode that will prevent
you from using the screen functions if your car is in motion. Unless a passenger will
be the only one to operate Navsure N400i, we strongly encourage you to turn on the
Safety Mode.
It is also important that you look at the display only if it is absolutely safe to do so.
You should always observe traffic signs and road geometry before you obey any
instruction from Navsure N400i. If you need to deviate from the recommended
direction, Navsure N400i will suggest a modified route according to the new
situation.
Never place the PNA where it can obstruct the view of the driver, is within the
deployment zone of airbags, or where it can cause injuries in case of an accident.
37
2 General information
Navsure N400i is a navigation system optimised for in-car use. It provides door-to-
door navigation for both single and multi-point routes using adaptable route
parameters. Navsure N400i is capable of planning routes throughout the whole
installed map set. Unlike some other products, Navsure N400i does not require that
you change maps or switch to a poorly detailed general map to navigate between
map segments or countries. You always have complete freedom to go wherever you
wish. Just select your destination and go.
You do not need a stylus to use Navsure N400i. All screen buttons and controls are
designed so that you can operate them with your fingertips.
You can access all functions of the program by using hardware and screen buttons.
With the help of these buttons you can travel through all the screens of the program.
Most of the screens (especially menu functions and settings) can be accessed from
several other screens, minimising the number of actions needed to reach the desired
function.
When using Navsure N400i, you do not need to ‘double tap’ or ‘tap & hold’ the touch
screen as these functions cannot be used reliably in a moving vehicle. A single tap
triggers most of the screen controls. The only exceptions are ‘drag & drop’ for
moving the map, or scaling it in Map mode (Page 52).
Most of the screens have a Return button in the top left corner. This arrow
returns to the previous screen or directly to one of the map screens.
Settings screens also have a Help button in the top right corner. This will
show a detailed description of the current settings screen.
38
3 Discovering the program through the screens
The best way to discover Navsure N400i is to explore each screen in detail, and to
find out how to move from one to another. Read this chapter for a guided tour.
Most parts of the program are directly accessible from here by using the buttons
described below.

The current version of Navsure N400i is primarily intended for land navigation. That
is why maps in Navsure N400i look similar to paper roadmaps (when using daytime
colours and 2D map mode). However, Navsure N400i provides much more than
regular paper maps can. The look and the contents can be changed.
40
3.3.1 2D and 3D map views
Besides the classical top down view of the map (called 2D mode), you have the
possibility to tilt the map to have a perspective view (3D mode) that gives a view
similar to that seen through the windscreen with the possibility to see far ahead.
It is easy to change between 2D and 3D modes. You have two options. You can use
the Tilt up and down buttons (Page 50) to tilt the map seamlessly between 2D and all
3D angles, or you can use the switch in the Quick menu (Page 58) to quickly switch
between the two modes.
Note: You may find that 2D mode is more useful in North-up Map mode when
looking for a certain part of the map or an object to select as destination. On the
other hand, 3D mode in Track-up Cockpit mode with Smart Zoom makes navigation
very comfortable. The description of these modes will come later in this manual.
Note: 3D view is only useful for navigation. As you zoom out, the view angle will
automatically be raised. Finally 2D view will be reached. When you zoom back in, 3D
view will gradually return.
Note: Using the Advanced settings, you can force Cockpit mode to always start in 3D
Track-up view (Page 75). You can still rotate and tilt the maps in either mode, but the
next time you enter this screen, the preset look will reappear. Similarly you can force
Map mode to always start in 2D North-up view.
41
Changing the scale of the map is very easy. You can drag and stretch the scale
(Page 52) at the bottom of the Map screen, or use the zoom icons (Page 50) on both
Map and Cockpit screens.
Note: If you need to zoom out briefly to locate your position on the map, use the
Overview mode instead of zooming out and back in. The Overview mode is a 2D
North-up view that can be started by tapping the compass button on the right (Page
52).
Note: Navsure N400i has a special Smart Zoom function for navigation that
automatically rotates, scales and tilts the map in 3D map mode to always give you
the optimal view in your current situation. 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
flat in order to let you see the road in front of you.
You can change between day and night views manually in the Quick Menu (Page
59) or let Navsure N400i do it automatically (Page 68) for you.
Tip: There are several daytime and night colour schemes included with Navsure
N400i. To select the one that suits your needs the best, make your selection in
Settings (Page 70).

Tip: To further enhance the effect of the night colour scheme, you can instruct
Navsure N400i to decrease the display backlight when the night colours are used.
Set the desired backlight levels for both daylight and night modes.
Note: The colours mentioned and screenshots included in this manual refer to the
default daytime and night colour schemes. They may not look the same in the
schemes you have chosen.
Streets and roads have names or numbers for identification. Of course, this
information can be displayed on the map. Navsure N400i uses two different ways to
show street labels. The conventional way is the same as a roadmap – it displays the
name of the street aligned with the street. The alternative is a kind of virtual signpost
stuck into the street itself.
You need not choose between the two modes. Navsure N400i will use the one best
for the current tilt and zoom level. Zoom in to have only a few streets on the map,
and start tilting up and down to see how Navsure N400i switches between the two
modes in an instant.
Note: The automatic switching is on even when using Smart Zoom. At first you may
find it odd, but later you will discover how it adjusts the displayed information to the
current view of the map. It is important, as the driver must be able to read the map at
a glance.
Tip: If you do not want to be bothered by street names during navigation, turn them
off in Map Options (Page 70).
Tip: Major roads usually have alternative names (numbering) besides the primary
name. You can choose whether to display these alternative names or not. You can
set this in Map Options (Page 70).
43
3.3.5 Other objects
To help orientate you, the map also contains objects that have no other navigating
function than to help you recognise your location on the map. These are surface-
waters, large buildings, forests, etc.
Tip: These objects are normally displayed using textured polygons that look natural
to the eye. You may wish to switch the textured display off (Page 70) to free some of
the resources of your PNA by replacing textures with plain coloured surfaces.
The direction of the arrow represents your heading. The arrow is sized and vertically
rotated with the zoom and tilt levels to always look realistic.
Navsure N400i has a built-in Lock-on-Road feature that always puts the position
arrow on the road, on the axis of the street in case of one-way streets, or on the side
of the road where you drive (e.g. on the right in Germany and on the left in the U.K.)
on two-way roads.
The location received from the GPS receiver is shown as a blue dot on the map. This
can help you locate your position if the GPS accuracy is poor, and the Lock-on-Road
system puts you on the wrong street. It is also the location saved in the track log
(Page 60).
When the GPS position is lost, the arrow turns grey, but the journey continues on the
recommended route for a short period of time with the speed last detected before the
GPS position was lost. When the next route event is reached, or after 40 seconds,
the arrow stops, and remains grey until GPS reception returns. This way short
tunnels can be crossed without losing the position.
44
3.3.7 Selected map point, also known as the Cursor
If you tap the map somewhere or select a specific item in Find, it will become the
selected point on the map, marked with a small red dot and permanently radiating
red circles to make it conspicuous at all zoom levels, even when it is in the
background of a 3D map view. You can use this point as starting point, via point, or
destination of your route, you can search for a POI near to it, mark it with a drawing-
pin, or save it as a POI. The cursor, when visible, is also the reference point for map
scaling.
Note: When your GPS position is available, and Lock-to-Position (Page 51) is active,
the cursor is the current GPS position, the blue arrow. When you select another point
by tapping the map, or using the Find menu, the new Cursor is shown on the display
with the red dot and the radiating red circles.
The colour of the Pin is automatically selected by Navsure N400i. Different colours
help you identify a Pin in the History list later. There they are shown together with
their address and GPS Coordinates.
Tip: There is a quick way to save the current GPS position as a Pin. Press the
Record button (hardware button with an audio cassette icon on it) to save the Pin
instantly..
Tip: A quick way to tell the coordinates of a location you found on the map is to Pin it,
and then look for the coordinates in the History list.This way you also save the
coordinates with the Pin for later reference. If you do not need the coordinates later,
just select the point and start Find Coordinates.
45
The GPS Data screen is a collection of information received from the GPS device
and it also serves as the entry point to the following screens:
• Time Sync.
Note: Accuracy can be affected by several factors the GPS cannot take into account.
Use this accuracy information only as estimation.
There are two icons on the left to show the status of the GPS connection and the
quality of reception.
• a fast blinking green lamp means that there is communication with the GPS
and data is being received,
46
• other colours may not appear with a built-in GPS. Should any of
these appear, this means a faulty operation of your device.
• black with a red cross means there is no connection with the GPS device.
This should never be the case if your device has a built-in GPS.
Turn on the Auto Correction switch to let Navsure N400i frequently check and correct
the internal clock of the device with the GPS time.
Below that button you will see the current values of the GPS and the device clocks.
You can check here whether any correction is needed. Tap the button to
manually synchronize the time.
Below the PNA time you have hour and minute controls to manually correct the time
with or without a valid GPS time. It also gives you the chance to correct the time after
synchronization if your PNA does not support time zones or daylight saving time.
47
3.5 Screens with map
Having explained the contents of the map, the description of the other parts of the
map screens follows. There are two map screens: the Map screen and the Cockpit
screen. The way they show the map is the same but their look and controls are
optimised for different purposes.
The Map screen is to be used mainly without a GPS, to browse the map, create user
POI items, or to plan your route based on map points. The Map screen is designed
to give you the maximum map area. This screen is usually used in 2D North-up
mode.
You can set Navsure N400i so it always opens the Map screen in 2D North-up
mode (Page 75).
The Cockpit screen is for driving purposes. Besides showing the map, it contains
some additional travel information if you are just cruising (speed, current street you
are driving in, speed limit for the current street), and some more route data if you are
navigating (e.g. next street in your route, distance to travel, type of the next route
event). This screen is typically used in 3D Track-up mode.
You can make Navsure N400i always open the Cockpit screen in 3D Track-up mode
(Page 75).
There are several controls that function in a similar fashion on the two screens. They
are described on the following pages.
Map screen contents:
48

18 (Cockpit only) Next street*** n/a
19 (Cockpit only) Approaching next turn**** n/a
**** Appears only when a route is active and the next turn is near
49
This field also serves as a button. Tap it to get to the Route menu (Page 61). The
Map screen will show a button called Route here if there is an active route. This also
leads to the Route menu.
Zoom will change the scale of the map. Zoom out shows a larger part of the map,
while Zoom in shows a smaller part of the map in more detail.
The automatic Smart Zoom function will do the necessary zooming for you when
navigating (zooms out if the next turn is at a distance to let you see far ahead and
zooms in when approaching a turn to give you a better view of the upcoming
manoeuvre). If you manually change the zoom level, Smart Zoom will no longer
scale the map by itself (automatic tilting and rotating remains active).
You need to press Enter, or tap the Follow button (Page 51) to return the zoom
control to Smart Zoom. You can also set Navsure N400i to do this automatically after
a few seconds in case of the Cockpit screen.
You need to tap the Follow button (Page 51) to return the zoom control to Smart
Zoom. You can also set Navsure N400i to do this automatically after a few seconds
in case of the Cockpit screen.
50
This function modifies the vertical viewing angle of the map in 3D mode. You can
change the angle in a wide range starting from a top down view (2D view is
seamlessly integrated) all the way to a flat view that lets you see far ahead.
The automatic Smart Zoom function will do the necessary tilting for you when
navigating (gives a flat view if the next turn is at a distance to let you see far ahead
and raises the angle when approaching a turn to give you a better view of the
upcoming manoeuvre). If you manually change the view angle, Smart Zoom will no
longer tilt the map by itself (automatic zooming and rotating remains active).
You need to tap the Follow button (Page 51) to return the tilt control to Smart Zoom.
You can also set Navsure N400i to do this automatically after a few seconds .Follow
mode - lock to GPS position and heading (No. 6)
This semi-transparent icon is displayed if GPS position is available, and the map has
been moved. It also appears when you scale or tilt the map while Smart Zoom is
enabled.
Normally Navsure N400i positions the map to keep the GPS position visible
somewhere on the map (when North-up orientation is selected), or always at the
bottom centre of the map (when Track-up orientation is selected).
If you manually move the map, it will freeze the map in the new position. To return to
the GPS position, use this Follow button.
When Smart Zoom is enabled, scaling or tilting the map also stops the automatic
zooming or automatic tilting respectively. To reactivate Smart Zoom, tap this button.
Tip: In Advanced settings you can set a delay time after which Navsure N400i
pushes the Follow button for you on the Cockpit screen automatically. This can be
turned on for re-enabling both Lock-to-Position and Smart Zoom.
51
Note: When GPS position is available, the Follow button will appear indicating that
you have disabled Lock-to-Position. Tapping the Follow button will re-enable the
position lock and move the cursor back to the current GPS position. The same
happens when Navsure N400i restores Lock-to-Position automatically on the Cockpit
screen, if it is set in Advanced setting.
You can use it in both 2D and 3D modes to scale the map. Drag and pull it right to
zoom in, or left to zoom out.
The usual map orientation for navigation is Track-up. It means Navsure N400i
rotates the map during navigation to always face the direction of your travel. In this
mode an arrow (compass) points towards North.
Tap this icon to switch to North-up mode. Now the map is fixed to keep facing North.
The icon changes to show the new rotation mode.
Tap the icon again to enter Overview mode. This mode looks similar to the North-up
mode with one difference: the zoom level in this mode has a fixed default to give you
a better look of where you are on the map. You can change the zoom level at any
time, this will not cause the Follow button to appear, but when entering Overview
mode later, the default zoom level will be restored.
52
The arrow representing your position will be fixed in the middle of the screen. When
you move the map in Overview mode, the Follow button will appear, and when
pushed, it will move the map to have your current position in the middle of the map
again.
You cannot rotate the map in Overview mode. This mode is strictly north-up.
You can set up Navsure N400i so that it will switch to Overview mode during
navigation when the next turn is far away. You can specify this distance and the fixed
zoom level of Overview in Advanced settings .
• The black satellite dish with the red exclamation mark shows there is no
connection with the GPS receiver. GPS navigation is not possible. Devices with a
built-in GPS receiver are permanently connected, so this icon may not appear
under normal circumstances.
• Red shows there is a connection, but the signal is too weak to give a
position. GPS navigation is not possible.
• Black shows there is a GPS position, and navigation is possible. When only
one arc is shown, the position is 2D (no altitude available), and position error may
be significant, yet Navsure N400i is ready to navigate.
• A black dish and two arcs represent a 3D GPS position. Navsure N400i is
ready to navigate.
• When small car symbols are displayed under the dish, TMC information is
available.
53
3.5.10 Sound muting (No. 12)
By tapping this button you can quickly mute all sounds of the PNA. This will not
modify the volume level and the enabled or disabled status of the voice guidance or
the key sounds, just mutes the sound output. When muting is enabled, the speaker
icon is crossed out.
Note: Sound can be muted in Sound settings, too. There you have a Master switch
that works together with the switch described above. There is also a Master slider on
that screen. That you can use to fully turn down the volume of the device. Setting the
volume low is different from muting, therefore it will not show up on the mute
indicator.
During track log playback a green icon will blink. Tapping this icon (in fact, tapping
the screen anywhere) stops the simulation.
54
If you do not use the Cursor menu in a few seconds, it will automatically vanish back
to the bottom of the screen, and Popup Info disappears, too. You can have them
reappear by reopening the Cursor menu using the arrow in the bottom right corner.
When you open the menu manually, it will stay on until you close it or switch to
another screen.
Tip: If you want to see the map around the Cursor, close the Cursor menu and
reopen it. When this menu is opened manually, the map is always moved to have the
cursor in the centre.
The content of the Cursor menu depends on the screen (Map or Cockpit) and it is
slightly different if there is an active route already planned. You have the following
options:
• Start: use the Cursor as the departure point for your route. This menu point is
available only in Map mode and when there is no active route. In Cockpit mode
the departure point of the route is always the GPS position or if it is not available,
the last known GPS position.
• Route To: use the Cursor as the destination of your route. This button is to start a
new route. The previous route (if it exists) will be deleted and replaced. If a multi-
point route is active, Navsure N400i will ask you whether you really want to delete
it together with all its via points.
• Add Via: by inserting the selected map point as a via, you instruct Navsure N400i
to cross this location before the destination of the route. This is the way to build a
multi-point route in reverse order (when you wish to insert a stopover ‘go to A but
first get some fuel at B’ or want to influence the direction of the route). This menu
point works only if a route is already active.
• Remove Via: removes the ‘via point’ near or at the Cursor. The route will be
recalculated immediately excluding the deleted point. This menu point replaces
Add Via and is available only if the Cursor is near or at a via point.
• Continue: add a new destination to be reached after the previous destination. The
new destination replaces the old one, which is now demoted to a via point. This is
the way to build your multi-point route in straight order (when you wish to visit
several destinations ‘go to A then to B’). This menu point is available only if a
route is already active.
• Pin: push a coloured pin in the map at the selected point for later use. This pin is
visible at all zoom levels and also appears in the History list together with its exact
position. The colour of the pin is automatically selected by Navsure N400i.
55
• Unpin: remove the pin near or at the Cursor. This menu point replaces Pin and is
available only if the selected point is near or at a pin.
• POI: opens the list of POIs near the selected point. These are the POIs shown in
the Popup Info window. This menu point is only available on the Map screen. If
you want to add a new POI at the cursor, you can do so by tapping Add POI in the
bottom left corner. You can also add a new road safety camera if you tap Add
Cam, and set the parameters (type, direction, and speed). If a camera already
exists near the cursor, this button is inactive, and you can change the parameters
of the camera by tapping it in the list.
Tip: Some roads have an alternative name (or number). This is normally shown
together with the primary name in this field. You can hide these alternative names in
Map settings (Page 70).
While cruising, the fields show the present speed, the current speed limit and the
time of day.
While navigating a route, these fields show the estimated time needed to reach the
destination (ETE), the distance to destination, and the estimated arrival time at the
destination (ETA) by default.
You can choose what to display in these three fields during navigation, by going to
Advanced settings / Display Options (Page 76). See the following list for your
options. The only restriction is that you cannot select a value that already appears in
another field. The possible field contents are:
56
• Arrival at next via point
• Arrival at destination (default value for the right field)
If you are not yet in the settlement where this next street is, Navsure N400i will
display the name of the settlement instead of the name of the road or street. A bullet
symbol will appear next to the name of settlements to help you tell them apart from
street names.
3.6 Menu
Tapping this button brings up a menu that allows you to access some of the most
frequently used functions of Navsure N400i.
57
3.6.1 Find tab
The first page of the Menu is Find. It lets you select a destination without first having
to locate it on the map.
Note: When you reach 2D view by tilting the map, Smart Zoom will tilt the map as
you press the Follow button or it disappears after the timeout (set in Advanced
settings) expires. Use the 3D Map toggle to permanently switch to 2D view.
Note: If the map is zoomed out so that the view angle is automatically raised to a top
down view, this button will have no immediate effect. When you zoom back in, the
view angle will or will not change according to the new state of the button.
58
3.6.2.2 Zoom & Tilt (switch)
When the light is on, additional transparent buttons (Page 50) appear on the left side
of the map screens for zooming and tilting without the use of hardware buttons.
The Tilt buttons appear only at higher zoom levels. If you zoom out, they disappear.
Note: Using this option turns off the Automatic Night Colours feature. You need to re-
enable it at the General settings screen (Page 67) to have the colours change
automatically again.
Tip: Tapping one of the blue Information icons behind the POI names shows the
details of the appropriate POI item.
59
3.6.2.5 Manage Track Logs
Using Navsure N400i it is also possible to save the track logs of your journeys. This
screen lets you manage all your track logs. When it comes up, it shows a list of all
track logs already saved.
The original name of a track log is the date and time when it was recorded. You can
change their name to something more meaningful if you wish.
Each track log has a colour, shown to the left of its name when the track log is visible
on the map. If the track is not visible, a horizontal line is shown here. Tapping the
line of the highlighted track log will toggle between showing and hiding that log. The
track log will be drawn on the map using the colour next to its name.
When a track log is being recorded, a new line appears in this list with a horizontal
line, as newly recorded track logs are not shown in the map normally.
Tip: If you wish to see the track log currently being recorded, highlight its line then
tap again to make it visible.
• Record: this will initiate track log recording. A new line appears in the list, and
GPS position data will be saved until you stop the recording or exit Navsure
N400i. A red icon (Page 54) is shown on the map screens to let you know that a
recording is in progress. Tapping that icon opens this Track Log screen.
60
• Stop recording: if recording is in progress, this buttons stops it.
• Info: this button opens a screen that shows the track log details, and lets you:
• change the name of the track log (Rename button),
• change the colour of the track log (Colour on the map selector),
• have it displayed on the map (Fit to screen button),
• Replay: push this button to see a simulation of the saved track log on the map. A
green icon (Page 54) will appear on the map screens to let you know it is a
simulation only.
• Delete: you can delete a track log if it is not needed any more. Navsure N400i will
ask you to confirm this action.
3.6.3.1 Recalculate
This menu point is only available if an active route exists and GPS position is
present.
It brings up a menu with four options. Using one of these functions you can modify
the current route.
61
Recalculate
This function repeats the route calculation based on the same settings as used to
calculate previously. This possibility is typically used when automatic off-route
recalculation is disabled. However you may consider using it when you travel on a
road parallel to that recommended by the route. In this case Navsure N400i may not
recalculate the route for some time, but you can force recalculation here. This is also
the button you will most frequently use when the window appears automatically,
provided that the manual route recalculation is set (Page 69).
You can modify the route to skip the next via point if you decide it is no longer
needed. For example, you may have added the via point only to influence the route
but you do not want to actually reach it; or you have already almost reached it, and
Navsure N400i still keeps on navigating towards that point. When there are no via
points left (only the destination), the name of this button turns to Delete Route, and it
cancels the navigation.
Bypass
When you run into a traffic jam or roadblock, you may want to have Navsure N400i
calculate a route that departs the original route as soon as it can. You will need to
select the minimum distance along the original route where your new route is
allowed to rejoin the original route. Select the one you feel appropriate for the traffic
difficulty you face.
Note: This function is to give you an alternative for the next section of the
recommended route. To change later parts of the route or to avoid specific streets or
turns, use the Avoid function in Itinerary instead (Page 63).
Note: When you use this feature, Navsure N400i will keep on excluding the same
part of the map from later routes until you manually delete the route (Page 63), or
restart Navsure N400i.
Cancel
This option returns directly to the map screen without recalculating the active route. If
you choose this option when manual route recalculation is configured (Page 69),
navigation stops and will be activated again when you are back on your original
route.
62
3.6.3.2 Delete
Tap Delete to erase the active route along with all its route points (start, via points
and destination). If you later decide that you need the same route again, you will
have to rebuild it from scratch. Navsure N400i will warn you before deleting route
data.
This function has a special role if you have used the Avoid feature during your
journey. When you arrive at your destination, the route line disappears on the map
and navigation stops. The route is now practically deleted, but if you plan a new
route, the roads, manoeuvres and areas excluded from your route will also be
avoided when planning the new route. Tap Delete to completely delete your previous
route together with its Avoid restrictions.
Note: When a POI item is used as a route waypoint, deleting the route will not delete
the POI item itself, just its role in the route.
3.6.3.3 Itinerary
This function opens the itinerary (route event list) of the active route. The Itinerary
has three different display modes and two functions.
Display modes
Display modes are different only in the number of events displayed in the list. List
items are always shown with all information available including pictograms of the
needed action and distance of the event from the previous list item.
The Itinerary is live and constantly updated when navigating a route. The list item
coming next in navigation is the highlighted one until you highlight another one by
tapping. After that, the highlight remains on the item you have selected.
• Detailed Instructions: this is the list displayed when Itinerary is opened. It is the
list of events in full detail. All significant junctions are shown in the list, even ones
to be passed.
• Instructions: by tapping the Mode button once you will see the list of events that
need your attention, i.e. the list of manoeuvres during the route. These are the
events shown in the Turn preview field and announced by the voice instructions.
• Route summary: tapping the Mode button again will show an overview of the
route that contains only the significant roads and intersections.
Show
63
Tap this button to see the highlighted list item on the map. This will help you identify
route events in the list.
Avoid
Tap this button to show a list of possibilities for modifying the route. They let you
recalculate the route avoiding the highlighted event and sometimes also some of the
subsequent ones.
• Manoeuvre: this option avoids the highlighted action. For example if you find a
turn too difficult during rush hour traffic, Navsure N400i will recalculate the route
excluding that turn. If the next street is important in the route, it is likely that
Navsure N400i will replace the turn with several easier ones to get to the same
street.
• Road: when you exclude a road, Navsure N400i will calculate a route that does
not use that road. It is useful when you anticipate a traffic jam in a street used in
your route, or a roadblock is announced on the radio, and you find that road in
your Itinerary.
• Distances: you can also find some distance buttons in this list. They are similar to
the ones in the Bypass list of the Recalculate menu (Page 61), but these can also
be used for distant parts of the route.
Note: You need not open Itinerary if you run into a roadblock or traffic jam. To get an
immediate alternative route use the Bypass function of Recalculate (Page 61).
Note: When you use this feature, Navsure N400i will keep on excluding the same
part of the map from later routes until you manually delete the route (Page 63), or
restart Navsure N400i.
Lifelike simulation
In this mode the simulation is run at normal speed (using the speed limit of the
streets and roads in the route), and voice instructions are also played.
64
This mode is mainly useful for demonstrating Navsure N400i, or to learn the way it
works before you start your first journey.
3.6.3.5 Edit
Tap Edit to see the list of all points used in the route. The first item in the list is the
departure point of the route without a valid GPS position, the last reached via point if
you open the list during navigation, or the point where Navsure N400i most recently
recalculated the route. This means the list is permanently updated, and via points
drop out during the journey. The last item in the list is your final destination.
Use the arrows on the right to browse through the list and tap any line to highlight it.
You can perform the following operations:
• Add: you can add a new route point (or a new final destination if the
highlighted item is the last one in the list) after the selected point. The Find menu
opens automatically to let you search for an address, POI, coordinates, one of
your favourite destinations, or select a point from the History list. As soon as you
select any of these, Navsure N400i returns to the Edit screen and your selection
appears right under the highlighted line.
• Delete: you can delete the selected point from the list. If the highlighted
item is the last one in the list, the previous via point will be promoted to be the final
destination.
• Optimise: you can optimise the order in which you will drive through the
via points, if there is no specific order you would like to keep. When tapping this
button, Navsure N400i reorders the list instantly to save you time and fuel.
Optimisation is for via points only. Your starting point and destination remain in
their positions, of course.
• Up and Down: using these buttons you can reorder the list by
moving the highlighted item up or down in the list.
3.6.3.6 Info
This screen shows information about the current route and has a few additional
options to check and modify your active route.
65
66
4 Settings
Navsure N400i provides several settings in order to let you customise the functions
of the program. The Settings screen can be accessed directly from the Main menu
screen (Page 39) and from the map screens by using the battery icon, while some of
its sub-screens are accessible from other parts of the program.
You are still able to use the hardware buttons, but you cannot set a new destination
or change the settings.
When you disable Safety Mode, Navsure N400i will warn you.
67
4.1.2 Set Favourite Destinations
You can select two of your most frequent destinations to be your favourites. You can
start navigating to either of them by only two taps on the screen. The original names
of these points are Home and Work.
You can rename them and specify their locations. To determine the location you can
use the same Find menu options as for a route destination, and depending on that
choice and the information available, the location will be shown here as a street
address, a latitude/longitude position, or both.
Note: If you tap either of your favourite destinations in the Find menu before defining
it, Navsure N400i will offer to take you to this screen to set it up.
4.1.4.1 Automatic
The route will be recalculated automatically a few seconds after you go astray.
68
4.1.4.2 Ask First
Navsure N400i can also ask your preference each time you leave the planned route.
The route will not be recalculated until you make your choice from the menu that
automatically appears .
• Recalculate: Navsure N400i will recalculate the route with the previous settings.
The result is the same as if Automatic recalculation was selected.
• Drop Next Via Point / Delete Route: Navsure N400i will remove the next via
point from the list and recalculate the route without it. If you have only one target
left, the label of the button will be Delete Route, and it will end navigation.
• Bypass: if you have deviated from the original route because of a traffic jam or
roadworks, you can instruct Navsure N400i to avoid the original route for a
specified distance.
• Cancel: you can exit without recalculating the route. Navigation stops and will be
activated again when you find your way back to the original route.
4.1.4.3 Disabled
If you stick to the original route, and you wish to get back to it on your own, you can
disable recalculation. This way guidance will stop until you return to the
recommended route on your own.

4.2.1 Daylight / Night colour profile
Navsure N400i comes with different colour schemes for both daylight and night use.
There is always one selected daytime scheme and one selected night-time scheme.
Navsure N400i uses these when switching from day to night and back.
Tap the appropriate button and select a new scheme from the list.
Note: You can only disable street names and POI icons if Navsure N400i follows
your position. As soon as you move the map and Lock-to-Position (Page 51) is
disabled, street names and icons become visible again. Tap Follow to re-enable
Lock-to-Position and have the labels and icons disappear again.
Disabling it will lead to uniform areas but better performance for old PNA devices
with a slow processor. See Page 44.

4.3.1 Method
Use the handle to set the speed of the route calculation. In the leftmost position the
route may not be optimal but the calculation will be very fast. Sliding it to the right will
result in more accurate routing in an increased amount of time.
Note: Since Navsure N400i calculates routes very quickly, the position of this slide is
only used for long routes. Short routes are always calculated to give you the optimal
result independent of the slider.
4.3.2 Route
Here you can choose from three different route types.
4.3.2.1 Short
Choosing Short will result in a route that has the smallest total distance of all
possible routes between the given points. This is usually preferred by pedestrians,
cyclists or slow vehicles.
4.3.2.2 Fast
Choosing Fast will result in the quickest possible route, given that you can travel at
or near the speed limits on all included roads. This is usually preferred for fast and
normal cars.
4.3.2.3 Economical
This setting is a wise combination of the previous two. Although basically going for
the fastest solution, if there is another route taking a bit more time but a lot less
distance compared to the fastest one, Navsure N400i will choose this one instead to
save fuel.
4.3.3 Vehicle
You can set the type of the vehicle that 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 no restrictions).
71
Furthermore, when Bus or Lorry is chosen, the program assumes that high speeds
cannot be achieved, and this information is taken into account when calculating the
route, the estimated time enroute (ETE), and the estimated time of arrival (ETA).
Available values:
• Car
• Taxi
• Bus
• Lorry
• Emergency
• Bicycle
• Pedestrian
Note: 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, Navsure N400i will use them but only as much as necessary. In this case
a warning icon will be shown on the Route Information screen, and the road not
matching your preference will be displayed in alternate colour on the map.
4.3.4.2 Motorways
When driving a slow car or towing another vehicle, you may prefer not to take
motorways.
4.3.4.3 Ferries
The accessibility of temporary ferries is not necessarily included in the map data.
Furthermore you may need to pay fare, so you may consider disabling them from the
preset enabled status.
4.3.4.4 U-turns
Although displayed amongst road types, this is a type of action. Most drivers prefer
to replace them with a few normal left and/or right turns in the next few junctions, so
it is disabled by default.
72
Turning back on dual carriageways is not considered as a u-turn.
Note: If you are not totally against u-turns, leave them on here, and add a certain
penalty (equivalent extra distance to travel) in Advanced settings Route options .
Note: Via points are handled as stopovers with regards to u-turns. It means disabling
u-turns on this page will avoid u-turns during the entire route if possible, but when
reaching a via point, the following part of the route may be planned starting in the
opposite direction.
Note: You have a few more ways to influence routing and route recalculation in
Advanced settings Route options.

4.4.2 Voice language
This button shows the current language of the voice guidance. By tapping the button
you can select from a list of available languages and speakers. Tap any of these to
hear a sample voice prompt. Just tap OK when you have selected the new spoken
language.
4.4.3 Units
You can set the distance units to be used by the program. Navsure N400i may not
support all of the listed units in some voice guidance languages. If you select a
measurement unit that is not supported by the chosen voice guidance language, you
will see a red warning message under the selector.
Tap on any button to set the corresponding parameters. They all open new windows
where you can make your desired changes.
74
4.5.1 Display options
These settings determine how Navsure N400i displays different content elements or
how it presents the screens.
Use this switch to instruct Navsure N400i to always open the Map mode in 2D with
North-up orientation for map browsing purposes.
Note: You will still have the possibility to rotate and tilt the map, but the map will
return to 2D mode whenever Map mode is started.
Use this switch to instruct Navsure N400i to always open the Cockpit mode in 3D
with Track-up orientation (automatic map rotation) for driving purposes.
Note: You will still have the possibility to switch the map to 2D view or north-up
orientation, but the map will return to 3D mode with map rotation whenever Cockpit
mode is started.
The zoom level in this case depends on the type of object you have searched for.
For example in the case of a city search, the zoom level will show you the whole
settlement or at least a significant part of it around its centre. Selecting a POI, a
75
junction or an exact address will give you a closer look with only a few streets on the
display.
Note: the coordinate display mode is independent from the coordinate input in Find
menu. You can use all three formats freely on the coordinate input screen.
