iGO8 uses high-quality vector maps that let you see
the map at various zoom levels, always with optimised
content. It always displays street names and other text
with the same font size, never upside-
down, and you
only see the streets and objects that you need.
Map scaling has different limits in 2D and in 3D map
view modes.

map, the
button appears. Tap this button to re-
enable the automatic map rotation.
