The VIO app map view

Note: Some features may not be available in your VIO app version.

In the VIO app, the map shows your current location and many other locations such as your My Places locations and your contacts.

Your location and your saved places are also shown on the VIO device. Your contacts are not shown.

Your current location is shown as soon as your GPS location is found.

You can use the app's map view in the same way as you might look at a traditional paper map. You can move around the map and zoom in and out using gestures.

Important: Everything on the map is interactive including the route and the map symbols - try selecting something and see what it does!

Tip: To open a pop-up menu for an item on the map, for example a route or a POI, select the item to open the menu. To select a location on the map, select and hold the location until the pop-up menu opens.

If you have not planned a route the map is zoomed out to show the area around your location.

If you have planned a route, your complete route is shown on the map. You can add stops to your route directly from the map. When you start to drive, guidance is shown on your VIO device.
