3.7 Off-road navigation
When first started, Epsilon Linux device calculates
routes using the road network of the maps provided
with the product. If you want to disregard roads
during navigation, you can switch to off-road mode,
for example when driving in a desert.
3.7.1 Switching to off-road navigation
To switch to off-road navigation, perform the
following steps:
Most of the procedures described for on-road
navigation also apply to off-road navigation. Howev-
er, there are some that are not available in this
navigation mode. For example:
3.7.2 Selecting the destination in off-road mode
Selecting a destination (waypoint or final destina-
tion) is the same as described in the previous
sections. The only difference is that route points are
linked to form a route with straight lines regardless of
the road network and traffic regulations.
3.7.3 Navigating in off-road mode
The real difference between on-road and off-road
modes is the navigation itself. When you are on the
Navigation view with an off-road route:
*Your position and heading is not aligned to the
nearest road. There is no turn-by-turn navigation, just
a recommended direction.
*You can see an orange line drawn between your
current position and the next destination to reach.
The Turn Preview field in the top left corner shows a
compass with your bearing and the distance of the
next destination.
*You cannot open the itinerary as you have no
maneuvers just route points and straight lines
between them.
*There are no route alternatives and route
planning method.
*Vehicle settings are disabled.

4. Tap . The simulation starts from
the starting point of the route and leads you through
the whole planned route using a realistic speed.
(optional) You have the following controls during the
simulation (the control buttons disappear after a few
seconds but you can open them again if you tap the
map):
5. Tap to stop the simulation.
: Jump to the next route event (maneuver).
: Pause the simulation.
: Jump to the previous route event

simulation to 4, 8 or 16 times faster. Tap
again to return to normal speed.
