In the Navigation menu, tap 3. Tap . 4. Tap .
7. When finished with the vehicle parameters: • tap if you have modified an existing vehicle profile or • tap if you have created a new profile. While this profile is selected, the parameters of your vehicle are taken into account when planning routes. Note that this leads to a safe route for your lorry only if map data contains the weight, height, etc. restrictions of the road network in your area. Speed limits for lorries may not be available for all roads.
6 Reference Guide On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu screens of Zenec navigation. 6.1 Concepts 6.1.1 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.
6.1.4 Route calculation and recalculation Zenec navigation calculates the route based on your preferences: • • Route planning methods: • : 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 route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes. It can be practical for slow vehicles. • : Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel consumption data given in Route settings (page 95).
• : • Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route. • Roads are used only if access for cars with a trailer is allowed. • Private roads and resident-only roads are used only if they are inevitable to reach the destination. • 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 cars is allowed.
• Road types used or avoided in route calculation: • • • • • Real-time Traffic events are also taken into account and sometimes greatly modify the route. Zenec navigation automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary or if a newly received Traffic event concerns a part of the recommended route. For further information about Route settings, see page 95. 6.1.5 Green routing Route calculation is not only about finding the quickest or shortest route.
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. 6.1.
6.1.7 Speed limit warning Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. Zenec navigation is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not be available for your region (ask your local dealer), or may not be fully correct for all roads in the map. The maximum speed set in the vehicle profile is also used for this warning. Zenec navigation alerts you if you exceed the preset value even if the legal speed limit is higher.
6.1.9 Traffic information in route planning The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Real-time traffic information can help you avoid current traffic events like temporary road closures or a traffic jam caused by an accident. The function is subject to data availability. You can display the live traffic information on the map if you browse the map and select this option from the More menu. A 2D map is displayed with road segments coloured by the severity of traffic events.
to open the Traffic Summary screen: 1. Tap 2. Tap 3. Tap the traffic category you are interested in, or tap of all events: 4. Now tap any of the list items to see its details, and to display the affected road segment in its full length on the map: to open the list of of event categories. to see the list If there are traffic events on the recommended route that the application has not Note! bypassed, the icon will open the list of significant traffic events to let you quickly check them.

6.3.4 Route settings These settings determine how routes will be calculated. Button Description You can set the type of vehicle you will use to navigate the route. Based upon this setting, some of the road types can be excluded from the route, or some of the restrictions may not be taken into account in route calculation. You can edit the parameters of the selected vehicle profile, or you can even create new vehicle profiles if you tap More.
If the selected routing method is not Green, you can have your route compared to the best green alternative on the screen when confirming the route. If this alternative is much better than the selected method, you can quickly switch to Green mode. When creating a new vehicle profile, first you need to select the vehicle type.

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. It can be practical for slow vehicles. Searching for a short route regardless of the speed, this route type is rarely practical for normal vehicles. Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel consumption data given in Route settings (page 95).
6.3.6 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.
Show or suppress the 3D elevation of the surrounding terrain. Turn on or off track log saving, that is, saving the sequence of the locations your journeys go through. Select which Places to show on the map while navigating. Too many Places make the map crowded so it is a good idea too keep as few of them on the map as possible. For this, you have the possibility to save different Place visibility sets. You have the following possibilities: • Tap the checkbox to show or hide the Place category.
When entering tunnels, the surface roads and buildings can be disturbing. This feature shows a generic picture of a tunnel instead of the map. A top-down overview of the tunnel and remaining distance are also displayed. Turn on the route progress bar to see your route ahead as a straight line on the left side of the map. The blue arrow represents your current position and moves up as you travel to the next route event (manoeuvre or destination). Traffic events are also displayed on the line.
6.3.8 Display settings Display related settings include menu animations, separate skins for daytime and night use and the brightness of the display. When animation is turned on, buttons on menus and keyboard screens appear in an animated way. Screen transitions are also animated. Select the style and colours of the application used in daytime mode. Select the style and colours of the application used in night mode. 6.3.
6.3.10 Trip monitor settings Trip logs contain useful information about your trips. Trip logs can be saved manually when you reach your destination or you can turn on the automatic saving here. You can access these logs in the Trip monitor. Trip monitor is available from the More menu. Trip monitor can record statistical data of your trips. If you need these logs later, you can let the application save them automatically for you. This is not a button.
7 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.
North-up 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. Road Safety Camera Special alert points for speed, red light or bus lane cameras. Different data sources are available. You can configure Zenec navigation to warn you when you approach one of these cameras. Detecting the location of Road Safety Cameras is prohibited in certain countries.
