Similar to the above possibility, alternative routes can be suggested when driving on normal roads. The software will 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. Tap the "P" button to open a top-down map with the destination and the offered parking Places. Select one and modify the route accordingly.

If you leave the recommended route and suddenly exit the motorway, the application offers different alternatives near the exit like petrol stations or restaurants. Also, if there are avoidable parts of the original route ahead (like a tunnel, a toll road or a ferry), you will find them in the list in case you want to bypass them with the help of the software.

When enabled, the device will switch back from split screen or from

Audio screen to full screen map mode during voice guidance announcements. After the voice instruction the previous screen returns.

5.3.7 Regional settings

These settings allow you to customise the application for your local language, measurement units, time and date settings and formats, as well as to choose the time zone.

Button Description

This button displays the current written language of the user interface.

By tapping the button, you can select a new language from the list of available languages. The application will restart if you change this setting; you are asked to confirm this.

You can set the distance units to be used by the program. Your software may not support all the listed units in some voice guidance languages.

Select between 12 and 24 hours time display and the various international date display formats.

You can also set other country specific units used to display different values in the application.

By default, time zone is taken from the map information and adjusted by your current location. Here you can set time zone and daylight saving manually.

5.3.8 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.

This is not a button. This line shows the current size of the trip database, the sum of all trip and track logs saved.

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.

Track logs, the sequence of the positions given by the GPS receiver, can be saved together with trip logs. They can later be displayed on the map. You can let the application save the track log whenever it saves a trip.

5.4 Trip monitor

If you save your trip logs when you arrive at some of your destinations or let the application automatically save the trip logs for you, those logs are all listed here. Tap one of the trips to see the trip statistics, speed and elevation profile.

If track log has also been saved, you can display it on the map with the selected colour. Track logs can be exported to GPX files for later use.

The Trip monitor can also be accessed from the Information menu.

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. If three satellites are available, the receiver can calculate the horizontal GPS position but the accuracy is lower and the GPS device does not give you elevation data: only 2D reception is possible.

Active route

The currently navigated route. Whenever the destination is set, the route is active until you delete it or you reach your destination. See also: Route.

City Centre

The city/town centre is not the geometric centre of the city/town but an arbitrary point the map creators have chosen. In towns and villages, it is usually the most important intersection; in larger cities, it is one of the important intersections.

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. Similarly to the paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps show you streets, roads, and elevation is also shown by colours.

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.

82

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.

Heading-up map orientation

In this 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.

Vehimarker

The current position is shown with a blue arrow on the map by default. The direction of the blue arrow shows the current heading. This position marker can be replaced with different 3D vehicle symbols. You can even specify different Vehimarkers for different route types

(depending on which vehicle type is selected for route calculation).
