4 Reference Guide
On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu screens of Clarion
Mobile Map.
4.1 Concepts
4.1.1 Smart Zoom
Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:
While following a route: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view angle to let
you easily recognize your maneuver at the next junction. If the next turn is at a distance, it will
zoom out and lower the view angle to be flat so you can see the road in front of you.
While driving without an active route: Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly and zoom out
when you drive at high speed.
4.1.2 Daytime and night color themes
Clarion Mobile Map uses different color themes during the day and during the night for both the map and
the menu screens.
Daytime colors are similar to paper road maps, and the menus are bright.
The night color themes use dark colors for large objects to keep the average brightness of the
screen low.
Clarion Mobile Map offers different daytime and night color profiles. It can also switch automatically
between the daytime and the night schemes based on the current time and GPS position a few minutes
before sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset, before it becomes
dark.
4.1.3 Route calculation and recalculation
Clarion Mobile Map calculates the route based on your preferences:
Route planning methods:
: Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed limit on all
roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars.
: Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes.
It can be practical for slow vehicles.
