Present location display

Access from the Navigation menu by touching [MAP].

For further information about the Map screen, see Map screen.

Navigation displays the route as follows.

Symbol

Name

Description

Current GPS position

Your present position displayed on the map.

Cursor (selected map position)

The location selected in the Find menu, or a map point selected by touching the map.

Start point

The first point of the route.

Normally, if GPS position is available, it is used as the start point of the route. If there is no valid GPS position, Navigation uses the last known GPS position as the start point.

When you are using a saved route, Navigation asks you if you want to use your GPS position or the first point in the saved route as the start point.

You can also modify the start point in the Cursor menu. If you do so, automatic off-route recalculation needs to be turned off to keep the selected point as the start point.

If automatic off-route recalculation is disabled for any of the above, touching the icon in the Turn Preview field not only initiates route recalculation from the current GPS position, but also re-enables the automatic off-route recalculation.

Via point

The via points are intermediate destinations. You can place as many via points as you want.

Destination (end point)

The last point of the route, the final destination.

Route color

The route stands out against the map, both in daytime and night color modes. The active leg of the route is always displayed in a brighter shade than the inactive (upcoming) legs.

Active leg of the route

The section of the route on which you are driving. If no via points have been added (destination only), the entire route becomes the active leg. When via points have been added, the active leg is the section of the route from the present location to the next route point (the next via point or the final destination if there are no more via points).

Inactive leg of the route

Upcoming sections of the route. Each of these becomes active when you arrive at the corresponding via point.

Streets and roads that are excluded from the navigation

You can select whether or not to use certain road types. Route planning option However, when Navigation cannot avoid such roads, the route will include them,showing them in a different color to the route.

Cursor menu

As soon as you select a location in the Find menu, the map appears with the Cursor menu which provides possible actions for the selected point.

Alternatively, touch the map to make the control switches appear. Touch again to place the Cursor, a radiating red dot. Now touch again to open the Cursor menu with a list of options.

Since the Cursor menu only displays a portion of the map, the menu initially includes only a few switches. Touch [More Options] to open all options.

Touch switch

Description

Closes the Cursor menu, and returns to the previous screen.

Zooms out the map.

Zooms in the map.

You can move the map and zoom in and out while the Cursor menu is open. Touch anywhere on the map to place the Cursor in a new location. Use this switch to return the Cursor to the position it occupied at when the Cursor menu was opened.

Displayed at the Cursor when it is at the position it occupied when Cursor menu was opened.

Displayed at the Cursor if it has been relocated since the Cursor menu was opened.

[Info]

Opens a new screen showing the address of the Cursor and nearby POIs.

[More Options]

Opens the full-screen Cursor menu with all the available options.

[Set as Destination]

Creates a new route with the Cursor as the destination. The previous route (if one exists) is deleted.

[Remove Destination]

When the cursor is at the destination or nearby, this switch replaces the previous switch, and the present location disappears from the route. The last via point is promoted as destination, or if there are no via points, the route is deleted.

[Insert as Via]

The Cursor is added to the active route as an intermediate route point, a point to be reached before the destination. If the route already includes via points, the Edit route screen will open. This screen shows where on the route the via point will be displayed.

[Remove Via]

When the cursor is at or near one of the via points, this switch replaces the previous switch, and the selected via point disappears from the route. The route is recalculated without the deleted point.

[Continue]

Adds Cursor to the end of the route as new destination. The previous destination is demoted, and becomes the last via point.

[Routing Methods]

This switch resembles [Set as Destination]. Here, however, a new screen opens, and routes are calculated using all available calculation methods (fast, short, economical, easy). Observe the results, and choose one of the routes to navigate.

[Set as Start]

The Cursor becomes the start point of the route. This means that the route is not started from the current GPS position, and Automatic Off-route Recalculation needs to be turned off to keep the selected point as the start point.

[Remove Start]

When the cursor is at the start point or nearby, this switch replaces the previous switch and the start point disappears from the route. The current GPS position is again used as the start point, and Automatic Off-route Recalculation is re-enabled.

[Save as POI]

The Cursor is saved as a user POI. Select the POI group, name the POI, select a suitable icon, and enter a phone number and additional information as appropriate.

[Place Pin]

Map locations can be marked with Pins. Unlike POIs, Pins have no names and other details, only colors to let you tell them apart on the map.

[Remove Pin]

When the cursor is at or near a pin, this switch replaces the previous switch, and you can delete the pin.

[Add to Favorites]

Adds Cursor location to list of frequently visited destinations, or Favorites. You can name the Favorite.

[Save as Camera]

The Cursor is saved as the location of a Road Safety Camera (speed camera or red light camera). A new screen appears where you can set the type of the camera, the direction of the measured traffic, and the speed limit checked.

[Edit Camera]

If the Cursor is at or near a Road Safety Camera, this switch replaces the previous one, and opens a new screen where you can edit the details of the camera.

Position menu

When you follow the recommended route on the map (the Cursor is the current GPS position), the Position menu replaces the Cursor menu. It does not contain switches that modify the current route, as the GPS position is not useful as a route point.

To open Position, touch [Position].

Checking vicinity information

  • When saving a route, Navigation saves not only points along the route, but the entire itinerary.

  • The saved route might have been influenced by Traffic information. When a route is used at later date, it may seem to be the saved route. However, where necessary, current Traffic information is used to recalculate the new route.

  • If you updated your map since you first saved the route, Navigation recognizes the change, and recalculates the driving instructions according to the latest available map information.

  • During navigation, Navigation deletes via points that you already left behind together with the road segments used to reach it. If you wish to save the route, you need to do so before starting to navigate.

Loading saved route

This feature is available in Advanced mode only.

The procedure is explained starting from the Map screen.

  1. Touch the following switches: [Menu], [Route], [Load Route]

  1. Touch the route you wish to navigate.

  1. In the very likely case that the start position of the saved route is different from the current GPS position, you need to confirm whether you want to stop navigating from the current GPS position to use the start point of the loaded route.

  • If you choose to keep the current GPS position as the start point, the route will be recalculated starting from your present position.

  1. The map appears, and you can start navigating.

Map screen

Navigation is primarily intended for land navigation. That is why maps in Navigation look similar to paper road maps. However, Navigation provides much more than regular paper maps. You can customize the look and the content of the map. The most important and most often used screen of Navigation is the Map screen.

During navigation, the screen shows route information and trip data (left screens), but when you tap the map, additional switches and controls appear for a few seconds (right screenshot). Most parts of the screen behave as switches.

A list of route points appears with the start point at the top of the list and the final destination at the bottom. If several via points exist, you might need to scroll between pages.

Touch one of the route points in the list. You have the following options:

Touch switch

Description

The selected point moves up in the list (becomes a via point to be reached earlier). Repeatedly touching this switch will make this point the start point.

The selected point moves down in the list (becomes a via point to be reached later). Repeatedly touching this switch will make this point the final destination.

Reverses the route. The start point becomes the destination, the destination becomes the start point, and the order of the via points is reversed.

The route is optimized. The start point and the destination remain in position, but the via points are reordered to make the shortest possible route.

[Remove]

Touch this switch to remove the selected point from the route.

As soon as you leave this screen, the route is recalculated automatically, and you can start navigating right away.

Facility information, storage, and revision

A point of interest (POI) is a location that someone might find useful or interesting. Navigation comes with several thousand POIs included. You can create POIs independently in the application.

POI locations are marked on the map with special icons. POI icons are quite large so you can easily recognize the symbol. The icons are semi-transparent. They do not hide the streets and intersections behind them.

POIs are grouped into several levels of categories and subcategories. The icon of POIs that come with the map shows the symbol of the POI category. If you save your own POI, you can select an icon for it independently of the POI category you have put it in.

Saving POIs

To save a POI, place the Cursor () at the desired location, then touch the following switches: [Cursor], [More Options], [Save as POI]

Managing POIs

You can select which POI groups to show and which ones to hide on the map, and from which zoom levels POI icons are visible. At the same place, you can manage your saved POIs. A saved POI can be renamed, moved to a different POI group, its icon can be changed, or a phone number and additional information can be added to it. Touch the following switches: [Menu], [Manage], [POI]

Managing saved search criteria

You can manage the list of previously saved search criteria to easily find frequently searched POI types. Touch the following switches: [Menu], [Manage], [Saved Search Criteria]

Touch switch
