Button Description

Switch the map view between a 3D perspective view and two 2D topdown view modes.

Adjust the basic zoom and tilt levels to your needs. Three preset levels are available. There is also a manual mode when you can set the zoom and tilt levels with the buttons on the left.

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.

Switch between daytime and night colour modes or let the software switch between the two modes automatically a few minutes before sunrise and a few minutes after sunset.

Select the colour scheme used in daytime mode.

Select the colour scheme used in night mode.

Replace the default position marker to one of the 3D vehicle models.

You can select separate icons for different vehicle types selected for route planning. Separate icons can be used for car and the other vehicles.

Show or suppress 3D landmarks, 3D artistic or block representations of prominent or well-known objects.

Show or suppress 3D city models, 3D artistic or block representation of full city building data containing actual building size and position on the map.

Turn on or off track log saving, that is, saving the sequence of the locations your journeys go through.

•

Tap the checkbox to show or hide the Place category.

•

Tap the name of the Place category to open the list of its subcategories.

•

Tap to save the current Place visibility set or to load a previously saved one. Here you can also revert to the default visibility settings.
