What’s on the screen?
What’s on the screen?
Much of the information on the main navigation
view is configurable (see the ‘Preferences’
chapter for details).
If you miss a voice instruction, tap on the turn
instruction in the bottom left hand corner to
generate a new one. And if you’d like to view the
route summary again, tap anywhere in the jour-
ney information panel in the bottom right hand
corner.
Most of the time, the voice and turn instructions
are all you need to navigate successfully, which
means never having to take your eyes off the
road. At complicated junctions, where simple
instructions aren’t adequate to describe the path
to take, the navigation view comes into its own.
A quick comparison between the screen and the
world in front of you should be all you need.
Tip: No instruction is shown or spoken at junctions which
require no action. In towns and cities especially, don’t be
concerned that you are passing side-roads and driving over
crossroads without any instruction.
Your next turn instruction.
The name of the next street to turn onto.
Configurable journey information including
arrival time, time to destination and dis-
tance to destination.
Your current GPS position.
'Zoom out' and 'Zoom in" buttons.
'Next motorway' indicator, if applicable.
See 'Name preferences' in the manual on
CD, if you want to turn this off.
A 'phone-style' signal indicator to give an
idea of how good or bad the GPS recep-
tion is in your current location. The more
bars, the better.
