Besides map position, while running, it is possible to view also the trip computer data.

Use the device key (C) to visualize the trip computer.

The trip computer is composed by a series of screens which appear alternatively by

simply touching the device display.

The data

(1)

available are:

Use “Function” to choose to see actual, total or lap values.

With “Reset” the data will be deleted from the Trip Computer and stored in History

Trip.

From Settings -> Advanced -> Trip Computer -> Interface Layout, it possible to

choose how many values display in every Trip Computer screen. From the same menu

choose “Conﬁ gure”, to select which values have to be shown in each data ﬁ eld and

on the map.

HISTORY:

VDO bike navigator powered by MyNav, keeps memory of the trip data in the history.

From My Menù -> History Trip, Logbook or Total.

Thoroughly, the Logbook enables to register the trip computer data (actual and lap)

and store them in a single ﬁ le. The archive ﬁ les are automatically generated at each

Reset of “Actual values” and “Lap”.

Every Reset in the “Total values” window will automatically generate a new archive

ﬁ le, which can be seen in “Total”.

The values visualizable may vary according to the settings chosen by the user.

After a route has been planned (Point 9), an elevation proﬁ le

of the current route can be displayed (distance/height).

In navigation, the shifting of the position on the map is

alligned to the shifting of the position on the elevation

proﬁ le graph.

The double view “map + elevations”, which enables to

see in the same screen both the elevations graph and the

position on the map can be displayed.

The proﬁ le can be viewed thanks to zoom and pan functions: select a point on the

graph to get distance, height and inclination data.

With a simple touch it is possibile to switch from a point on the map to a point on the

graph or to maintain both the visualizations.

NAVIGATE WITH ELEVATIONS:

11 ELEVATIONS

From Main Menu -> Proﬁ les -> Personal data

set personal data (gender, age, weight and HR max).

Enter My Menu -> Training,

please choose between a FREE TRAINING or to compete on a TRACK RACE.

FREE TRAINING

The free training can be carried out setting targets according to:

• HR (zone, target)

• CALORIES (kcal burning, target)

• TIME (time min, target)

• DISTANCE (distance km, target)

TRACK RACE

A track recorded as at Point 9, can be saved and loaded second time to challenge with

Track Race, from “Load”.

Track Race is a competiton on a track previuosly done, VDO bike navigator show

positive/negative values, comparing actual GPS data with the ones of the track pre-

voiusly recorded, showing on the map the position of the target with a red point.

proﬁ le represents a set of pre-deﬁ ned settings, which are characterized by different

information/functionalities dispalyed on the map and in the software.

The pre-deﬁ ned proﬁ les are:

• BIKE WITH ANT+ SENSORS (recommended for bike training which use the VDO

bike navigator combined to HR/speed/cadence sensors)

• BIKE WITH GPS INPUT (recommended for bike training which use the VDO bike

navigator without sensors)

• OUTDOOR HIKING (recommended for hiking)

• OUTDOOR HIKING WITH PULSE (recommended for hiking with HR sensor)

• STREET (recommended when the device is used as a street navigator)

The software is easily conﬁ gurable and personal proﬁ les can be created and saved

by the user. For further information on proﬁ le settings read also the software manual.

At software start up, when more maps are installed in the memory card, it will be

required which map has to be loaded before selecting the proﬁ le.
