Map
The navigation system works with digital maps which are not simply the computerized versions
of traditional paper maps. Similarly to paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps show you
streets, roads, and elevation 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-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
This function is not available in some countries and regions.
Special alert points for speed, red light or bus lane cameras. Different data sources are
available. You can confi gure the navigation system 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 railway crossings are also available.
Route
A sequence of maneuvers (for example, turns and roundabouts) to reach the destination. The
route contains one start point and one or more destinations.
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.
Vehicle marker
The current position is indicated by a blue arrow on the map. The direction the blue arrow is
pointed indicates the current heading.
