Navigation

QuoVadis Mobile is a navigation software. Thus it allows you to easily navigate to a stored waypoint based on your current position, search for and then navigate to a particular address or town or used an existing route as defined in [QVC].

Voice output

At first we would like to point out that a specific aspect concerning an accurate voice output may be necessary for some users to take into consideration. Some producer (e.g. NOKIA©) have installed only one “system voice”, which is mostly in English language.

If so, you can find it out under “settings ⇒ speech recognition”.

“Depending on model” you are using, a female voice is used for text-to-speech output. Voice recognition and voice output is by default done in English.

In this special case the language for the speech recognition needs to be changed. Additional the same procedure is necessary if the language for the speech recognition is not insatlled. This will be indicated on a number shown under the language, e.g. English, 30 MB, which means that the speech package has to be downloaded.

This process will start automatically after the selection. We recommend an active WLAN-connection because the downloading process may take some time. Otherwise you should have ordered a “Data flat”. After downloading and installing successfully English as “Voice for text-to-speech” it is available in QVM.

Selecting your way of routing

QVM is able to calculate different routing ways.

  • E.g. by address or location which you enter,
  • or by name, which is part of an existing database,
  • or by your own phone contacts
  • or by selecting previous destinations,
  • or by your favorite destinations, which you have already marked as favorit,
  • or directly in the map to the map cursor.
location or address in existing database from your phone contacts
previous destinations own favorites

Routing by "finding"

In this case you have selecting your destination by the function “finding”, either with an address or by an exiting database, then you need to mark your destination and tip at the small flag at the lower screen. The route to your waypoint will be calculated from your location.

You have also the opportunity to define your routing preferences.

QVM provide various “calculation options”:

  • On- or offroad-routing
  • Driving or walking
  • Fastest and shortest route

Now you can see the calculated route, which is always coloured in purple in [QVC]. Additionally you will hear driving instructions. (Bild-1)

By tapping the “yellow” field you will get more options for the route:

  • Recalculation of the route (possibly with other routing preferences), (Picture-2)
  • A list view of the route
  • You can stop the navigation
  • or you can generate the route again

In the list view you have two options:

  • to return the calculated route A
  • or to display a “detailed” list of stations B & B1

Routing mit dem Curser

Wer an seinem Urlaubsort schon schnell für den Vortag eine Route planen möchte, kann dies über das Curser routing bewerkstelligen. Die so erstellte Route kann gesichert oder sofort ab der aktuellen Position berechnet werden.

Wechseln Sie in der Kartenseite zu und tippen einmal auf das Symbol. Es werden die “Routing Prferenzen” geöffnet, damit Sie die Art des Routing festlegen können. Anschließend bleibt das Symbol für weitere zu setzende Punkte “aktiv”.

Haben Sie alle Wegpunkte erstellt, kann die “Curser Route” in der aktiven DB gespeichert werden.

Tippen Sie “einmal” in der Routen Tabelle auf Ihre Curser Route und Sie gelangen zur “Routen Info”. Wischen Sie zu den RWPs um ggf. die Beschriftung der RWPs zu ändern/kürzen. Dazu tippen Sie “zweimal” kurz hintereinander auf (z.B.) das Zwischenziel und ein Fenster mit den vreschiedenen Bearbeitungs- oder Ansichtsmöglichkeiten öffnet sich. Die oberste Auswahl führt Sie zur WP Info. Hier können Sie Aussehen und Beschriftung des WP abändern.

Wenn Ihre zusammengestellte Route fertig ist, können Sie diese auch sofort berechnen lassen. Befinden Sie sich nicht am “Einstiegspunkt” der Route, wird erst dorthin berechnet. Dazu tippen Sie in gewohnter Weise auf das Symbol um die Route berechnen zu lasssen.

Export of route in GPX format from QV

You are able to predefine a route in [QVC]. This is useful for example when you would like to define or examine a route prior to actually taking it.

When you have finished your route/s, you need to export it then to GPX_11. Please note procedure. If you have exported the GPX on SkyDrive in the file “QVM_Data”, you are now able to import it into your selected database.

  1. Change the cloud under Live and “Listing file” (picture A)
  2. Start the import (picture B)
  3. The imported route will be displayed under Database with its length, duration and number of RWPs (picture C).

Now tap on the imported route to see it in the “Route window”. By marking it as “visible in map”, you can see the route planning in the map screen.

Of course the route can be calculated directly! Hereby you can also define your calculation “Präferenzen”. After the calculation the route will be shown in the map screen and you can start your trip.

The several stop overs of your route can you see as a list and delete or change if necessary. For this purpose tap “long” on the entry until the “Edit Window” opens.

Edit the RWPs

Like in [QVC] you can edit the several RWPs or the style of the RWP-line. Therefore wipe from the WP Info window to the next window and you will find the button Style of the route line.

This function allows you to choose another colour or to change the line width. (von XS bis XL)
With another wipe you will come to the several RWPs where you can select the RWPs by different options:

  • Info about a RWP,
  • Show the RWP in the map,
  • Change the order of the RWPs,
  • or delete.
