General information about map

Each navigation software has a menu page with the information about the maps including the relevant copyrights as well as a page with the information about the license and the unique license code. If there are no such information pages in the menu, or if there is a word DEMO, BETA or Worldwide in the name of the license, it means that the software product is illegal. Such products can not be updated on www.naviextras.com and are not provided with any other technical support.
Please make sure that the software is licensed before purchasing a navigation device.

When searching an address, after each character is entered the software automatically analyses all the possible word variants and highlights (keeps active) only the available keys, so that the search can be continued only among the existing names.

If you have activated a certain route in your navigation device, and then had to deviate from it (for example, because of the road works or traffic jams), it is not needed to create a new route as it will be recalculated automatically as soon as the software indicates a deviation from the route planned earlier.

The Smart Zoom will automatically change the scale of the map so as to give the best view of both turns or intersections (by enlarging the scale and making the plan of an intersection more detailed) and straight route segments (the scale becomes smaller to show the whole segment of the route up to the following turn). The scale may also be changed manually.

If your map version is older than 2013.03, please update the map to the latest version. Starting from the version 2013.03, the map of Ukraine is displayed in Russian if the Russian interface language is selected; in addition, address and POI search in Russian is added. In the earlier versions the standard iGO principle was applied, i.e. the map was displayed in the local language if this language was selected for the interface, and in the Latin alphabet (transliterated from Ukrainian) if any other UI language was selected.

Yes, iGO software supports TMC service. However, at the moment the TMC system does not work in Ukraine.

TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a technology created to keep the driver informed about the road traffic situation. The TMC signal carries specially coded information on the traffic intensity, time and place for each segment of the road network through FM transmitters, through the DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) system or through satellite radio signal transmission. These messages are decoded by special TMC-receivers connected to the navigation device. The driver will see the information on the traffic intensity on the device screen. As a rule, TMC is a paid service. However, the TMC system does not work in Ukraine yet.

In iGO 8, CarteBlanche Navigator, iGO Amigo, iGO Primo software the map file includes the coverage of the whole territory of one or another country (except the USA, where it concerns individual states). That is why the maps of individual cities or districts do not exist. These maps are included into the map of the country.
