15. Tips and tricks
Here you will find a number of tips and tricks that will help you to handle the device.
– These buttons allow you in many contexts to switch between the input view and
the list view. In the list view, you will see all of the entries which match your previous input.
This means you can find what you are looking for even faster.
Help – On any screen on which you see the
symbol, you can tap on it and you will be
guided directly to the Help chapter which relates to the corresponding theme. This ensures
that you can find an explanation of the particular function in many different contexts.
Scrolling and browsing – In list views, you can move the continuous text up and down
directly with your finger. In menus with several pages, you can scroll to the next page by
swiping your finger sideways.
Hide all – On the navigation view screen, you can hide all elements if you hold down the
menu button for a long time. Pressing on it again for a while or switching to the menu will
restore the normal view again.
Route options – With the route option "Easy" the route may be longer as gradients of over
4% are avoided. The avoidance of certain types of routes (tunnels, hiking trails etc.) also has
an influence on the route which is calculated. After the route has been calculated, you can
change the route options again if you tap on
. This allows you to compare what
difference these settings make.
Map zooming – Zooming in and out of the map helps in many situations. If you want to
move the map a large amount, first zoom out. You can then move the map over greater
distances more quickly. Zoom in on the map (e.g. in the view of the calculated route) to
identify more details.
Set rapid access – You can adapt the rapid access menu on the navigation view screen to
cater for your needs (see Chap. 6.3.10). This allows you to always quickly select the
functions which you use most frequently.
Save power – You can save power and thus increase the operating life if you switch the
device to stand-by mode when you are not actually using it. In addition, you can set the
brightness of the screen and the volume to a relatively low level to save power.
