Customising preferences of the navigation
• Data Fields:
The data fields in the corner of the map
screen can be customised. Touch this key
and select the values you want to see. The
values can be different when you navigate
a route from when you are just cruising
without a given destination. You can select
general trip data like your current speed or
the altitude, or route data related to your
final destination or the next waypoint on
your route.
• Offer Motorway Services:
You may need a petrol station or a
restaurant during your journey. This feature
displays a new key on the map when you
are driving on motorways. Touch this key to
open a panel with the details of the next few
exits or service stations. Touch any of them
to display it on the map and add it as a
waypoint to your route if needed.
• Facility Types:
Select the service types displayed for the
motorway exists. Choose from the POI
categories.
• Signposts:
Whenever adequate information is
available, lane information similar to the
real ones on road signs above the road is
displayed at the top of the map. You can
turn this feature on or off.
• Junction View:
If you are approaching a motorway exit or a
complex intersection and the needed
information exists, the map is replaced with
a 3D view of the junction. You can turn this
feature on or let the map be displayed for
the whole route.
• Tunnel View:
When entering tunnels, the surface roads
and buildings can be distracting. This
feature shows a generic picture of a tunnel
instead of the map. A top-down overview of
the tunnel and remaining distance are also
displayed.
• Route Progress Bar:
Turn on the route progress bar to see your
route as a straight line on the left side of the
map. The blue arrow represents your
current position and moves up as you
travel. Waypoints and traffic events are
also displayed on the line.
• Offer Congestion Detour on Highways:
When you slow down while driving on a
motorway, there is a chance that you are in
a traffic jam so this system offers you a
detour using the next exit. The message
shows you distance of the exit and the
difference in distance and estimated time
compared to the original route. You can
choose from one of the following options:
– Touch [Dismiss] or just ignore the
message if you want to keep the original
route.
– Touch [Preview] to see the overview of
the original route and the detour to make
the decision. You can accept the detour
as offered or increase the bypassed
motorway segment before accepting.
– Turn to the suggested new direction and
the route will be automatically
recalculated.
• Offer Real-time Route Alternatives:
Alternative routes can be suggested when
driving on normal roads. This system will
select a different turn in the upcoming
intersection and offers you a different route
for the next section of the route. But you
cannot modify the offered detour.
• Offer Parking Around Destination:
Parking at the destination may not be easy
in city areas. As you approach the
destination, this system can offer parking
category places near your destination.
Touch this key to open a top-down map
with the destination and the offered parking
places. Select one and modify the route
accordingly.
• Offer Hints Upon Detour:
If you leave the recommended route and
suddenly exit the motorway, this system
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 this system.
