Using the Map Orientation Button
There are three different ways to view the map. Whenever the cursor is

up, the Map Orientation button can be found in the bottom right corner of

the screen. Touch this button to switch among North Up, Track Up, and

3D.
North Up always shows the map with North at the top of the screen.

Track Up rotates the map so that the direction you're traveling is at the

top of the screen. 3D renders the path ahead from a position above and

behind your current position, so that the display on the map more

closely matches what you'll actually see through your windshield. Prac-

tice some with each mode, and find out which one is right for you.

Using the Location Information Button
There's one more button that appears whenever the cursor is up. The

Location Information button appears in the top right corner of the

screen. You can always use this button to bring up a screen

showing details on the location selected by the map cursor. This

could be a Point of Interest such as a restaurant or gas station, or a con-

tact that you've saved, or simply a map location that you'd like to visit.
As we mentioned, whenever you press the Location Information button,

the Location Information Screen appears. The Location Information

Screen will include as much information as possible about the location

that you've selected. If it's simply a cursor location, this may include

only the lat/lon coordinates and the distance and bearing to the loca-

tion, although a cursor location close to a road will also have the street

address. If it's a Point of Interest the information should include street

address and even the shop's phone number.

The Location Information Screen for a saved contact (shown left)

and for a restaurant POI (shown right).
