Backlight always on

You can choose to have the lights always on.

Use device settings

You can preserve the GNS8430/8435 device settings (previously set in the operating

system at Start/Settings/Backlight).

Smart powersave

You can also initiate this special feature of Uniden Navigation. When running on

battery Smart Powersave will light up the screen only when you press or tap a

button, or if Uniden Navigation has something to show you. After a few seconds the

light level decreases, and after another few seconds the backlight turns off. This

helps you achieve a longer battery life.

5.7.2.1 Brightness

5.7.3 Brightness

With this switch you can instruct Uniden Navigation to use the original settings of

the GNS8430/8435 device (previously set in the operating system at Start/Settings/

Backlight), or you can set the backlight level separately for both daylight and night

modes, thus enhancing the effect of the night colour scheme.

5.7.4 Smart Zoom

Smart zoom is a lot more than just a usual automatic zoom.

While navigating a route: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the

view angle to let you easily recognise your manoeuvre at the next junction. If the next

turn is at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to be flat in order to let

you see the road in front of you, or it can even switch to an Overview mode to let you

follow your position on the map.

While cruising: if there is no active route and you are just driving, Smart Zoom will

zoom in if you drive slowly and zoom out to the limit set here when you drive at high

speed.

These automatic features can be set up on this screen.
