The usual map orientation for navigation is Track-up. It means MioMap 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 Lock button to appear, but when entering Overview 
mode later, the default zoom level will be restored. 

The arrow representing your position will be fixed in the middle of the screen. When 
you move the map in Overview mode, the Lock button will appear, and when 
pushed, it will move the map to have your current position in the middle of the map 
again. 

You can set up MioMap 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 (Page 81). 

An airplane icon indicates Overview mode. 

 

Tap the icon again to return to Track-up (automatic rotation) mode. 

Similarly to the icon found on the GPS Data screen (Page 35), the map screens also 
inform you about the GPS signal: 

• 

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.
