GB 5 Reference Guide On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu screens of the software. 5.1 Concepts 5.1.1 Smart Zoom Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature: • While following a route: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view angle to let you easily recognise your manoeuvre at the next junction.
GB 5.1.3 Tunnel view When entering a tunnel, the map is replaced with a generic tunnel image so that surface roads and buildings cannot distract you. The top-down overview of the tunnel helps you orientate yourself. The remaining distance in the tunnel is also displayed. After leaving the tunnel, the original map view returns. This feature can be turned off in Settings (page 232). 5.1.
GB : For vehicle types where Green routing is not available, this method combines the benefits of Fast and Short: The software calculates as if it were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads as well to save fuel. • : Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult manoeuvres. With this option, you can make the software to take, for example, the motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.
GB • : • Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints (if they are applied to bicycles in the map data) are taken into account when planning a route. • Roads are used only if access for bicycles or pedestrians is allowed. • Controlled-access roads are excluded from routes. • A private road is used only if the destination is there. • Speed limits are not used in route calculation and an average cycling speed is used when calculating the estimated time of arrival.
GB • : • Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route. • Roads are used only if access for taxis is allowed. • Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes. • • Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route. • Roads are used only if access for lorries is allowed. • Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes.
GB Whenever data exist, route calculation takes into account statistical traffic data for the given day of week and time of day (page 128). The software automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary. For further information about Route settings, see page 224. 5.1.5 Green routing Route calculation is not only about finding the quickest or shortest route.
GB If the selected route planning method is not Green, and you have allowed the application to show the green alternative, the price, fuel consumption and CO2 emission differences between your selected route and the Green route are also shown on this screen: Tap the field with these details to switch the route to Green immediately. 5.1.
GB • Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you exceed the given speed limit. • When approaching: The audio alert is always played when approaching one of these alert points.

GB Route Planning Method types: Button Description Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed limit on all roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars. Gives a short route to minimise the distance to travel. Usually practical for pedestrians, cyclists or slow vehicles. Searching for a short route regardless of the speed, this route type is rarely practical for normal vehicles.
GB 5.3.5 Map settings You can fine-tune the appearance of the Map screen. Adjust the map view to your needs, choose suitable colour themes from the list for both daytime and night use, change the blue arrow to a 3D car model, show or hide 3D buildings, turn track logging on or off, and manage you Place visibility sets (which Places to show on the map). The map is always shown on the screen so that you can see the effect when you change a setting.
GB Button Description Switch the map view between a 3D perspective view and a 2D top-down view. Adjust the basic zoom and tilt levels to your needs. Three levels are available. When selected, the map zooms out to show an overview of the surrounding area if the next route event (manoeuvre) is far. When you get close to the event, the normal map view returns.
GB 5.3.6 Visual guidance settings Adjust how the software helps you navigate with different kinds of route related information on the Map screen. The data fields in the corner of the Map screen can be customised. Tap this button and select the values you want to see. The values can be different when you navigate a route from when you are just cruising without a given destination.
GB Similar to the above possibility, alternative routes can be suggested when driving on normal roads. the softwarewill select a different turn in the upcoming intersection and offers you a different route for the next section of the route. Your options are the similar as above but you cannot modify the offered detour. Parking at the destination may not be easy in city areas. As you approach the destination, the software can offer parking category Places near your destination.

Anonymous statistical information on using the navigation software is collected for later development purposes.
GB 6 Glossary 2D/3D GPS reception The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and needs at least four signals to give a three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are moving and because objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four signals.
GB GPS accuracy Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position and the one given by the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting objects near the GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can calculate your position. Map The software works with digital maps which are not simply the computerised versions of traditional paper maps.
GB Route A sequence of route events, i.e. manoeuvres (for example, turns and roundabouts) 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.
