The software works with digital
maps
which are not simply the computerized versions of traditional
paper
maps. Similarly to the paper road maps, the
20
mode
of
digital maps show you streets, roads, and
elevation is also shown by colors.
In
3D
mode, you can see the altitude differences, for example valleys and mountains, elevated roads, and
in
selected cities
3D
landmarks and 3D buildings are also displayed.
You can use digital maps interactively: you can
zoom
in
and out (increase or decrease the scale), you
can tilt them up and down, and rotate them left and right. In GPS-supported navigation, digital
maps
facilitate route planning.
North-uJl
map
orientation
In North-up mode the map is rotated so its top always faces North. This is the orientation for example in
Find on Map. See also Track-up map orientation.
Road
Safety
Came,"a
Special alert points
for
speed, red light
or
bus lane cameras. Different data sources are available. You
can configure the software to warn you when you approach one of these cameras.
Detecting the location of Road Safety Cameras is prohibited
in
certain countries. It
is
the sole
responsibility of the driver to check whether this feature can be used during the trip.
The software is capable
of
showing and warning for more than
just
cameras. Various other types
of
proximity alert points like school zones and railroad crossings are also available.
Route
A sequence of route events,
Le.
maneuvers (for example, turns and traffic circles) to reach the
destination. The route contains one start point and one or more destinations. The start point is the current
(or last known) position by default.
If
you need
to
see a future route, the start point can be replaced with
any other given point.
Track-Up
map
orientation
In
Track-up mode the map is rotated so its top always points
in
the current driving direction. This is the
default orientation in 3D map view mode. See also: North-up map orientation.
Vehimarker
The current position is shown with a red arrow on the
map
by default. The direction
of
the red arrow
shows the current heading. This position marker can be replaced with different vehicle and pedestrian
symbols. You can even specify different Vehimarkers for different route types (depending on which
vehicle type is selected for route calculation).
