What is GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is available at any time, free of charge,
and is accurate to within 5m (15ft). GPS navigation is made possible by a
network of satellites that orbit the Earth at around 20,200km (12,552mi). Each
satellite transmits a range of signals which are utilised by GPS receivers, such as
your Mio, to determine an exact location. Although a GPS receiver can detect
signals from up to 12 satellites at any time, only four signals are required to
provide a position or “GPS fix” (latitude and longitude), for vehicle navigation
systems.
Your Mio receives GPS signals via the internal GPS antenna. To guarantee the
optimum GPS signal strength, ensure your Mio is outdoors, or in a vehicle
outdoors, and has an unobstructed view of the sky. GPS reception is not usually
affected by weather, however, very heavy rain or snow may have a negative
effect on your reception.
CAUTION:
• It is your sole responsibility to place, secure and use your Mio in a manner that will
not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. Always observe safe driving
practices.
• On main roads, the distance to an exit calculated by your Mio may be further than
the distance shown on road signs. Road signs show the distance to the start of an exit
while your Mio shows the distance to the next intersection, i.e., the end of the exit
ramp or road. To prepare to exit a road, always follow distance information on road
signs.
• Mio products are designed to be used as an aid to safer driving. Mio does not
condone speeding or any other failure to comply with your local traffic laws. It is
your responsibility to drive within the posted speed limit at all times and to drive in a
careful manner. Mio accepts NO liability whatsoever for you receiving any speeding
fines or points on your license through using this device. Mio does not guarantee the
accuracy of the data contained within this database either expressed or implied. In
the event you receive a fine or any other penalty for speeding or contravention of any
traffic law, or are involved in an accident, Mio is not responsible for any damages of
any type. In some countries the data information regarding speed limits may conflict
with local law and/or regulations. It is your responsibility to make sure that your use
of the data is in compliance with local laws and/or regulations. Usage is at your own
risk.
IPX7
The IEC 60529/IPX7 is a European system of test specification standards for
classifying the degrees of protection provided by the enclosures of electrical
equipment. An IPX7 designation means that the unit withstands immersion in
one meter (approx 3ft) of still water for up to 30 minutes. Mio guarantees this
grade provided the battery door and all jack covers are properly and securely
closed. Mio Cyclo is not IPX8 grade; water-pressure such as washing the unit
with running water may cause damage to the unit and voids warranty.
