Lock-to-Position:
When GPS position is available, Venturer GPS Navigation will automatically
keep moving the map to always have the blue (yellow when using night colors)
arrow, representing your actual position, on the screen. You can move the map
to lose this position. The Follow button will then appear on the screen and
tapping it will re-enable Lock-to-Position.
Map Orientation:
Venturer GPS Navigation is able to rotate the map for your convenience. If you
choose Track-up mode, the map will be rotated to look in the direction of your
heading. Selecting North-up, the map remains oriented to have North toward
the top. Use the left and right hardware buttons to turn your map in the direction
you wish. This will immediately turn off the automatic rotation. A small compass
in the top right section of the map screens will always show the current direction
of the map. Map orientation should not be mixed up with Screen orientation.
North-up:
A kind of map orientation having the map rotated to have North toward the top
of the screen. See also Track-up and Map Orientation.
POI:
Points of Interest. Exact map locations of important points saved in a database
together with their name, category and subcategories (e.g. Service/Fuel/
Autogas), address, phone and fax number, and other important information. Use
the versatile search system in Venturer GPS Navigation to find the appropriate
POI near you, your destination or any other given location on the map. You can
also have your favorite places saved as ‘My POI’ in Venturer GPS Navigation.
received from those GPS satellites that are currently visible at your location.
You can use this service free of charge.
Lock-on-Road:
This function of Venturer GPS Navigation will always keep the blue (yellow
when using night colors) arrow representing your actual position on the nearest
road. This automatic feature is necessary as the position given by the GPS
receiver is not perfectly accurate. Under normal circumstances Lock-on-Road
will eliminate the occasional position error. If the corridor of error is too large,
your position may be shown over a different street on the map. You can only
avoid that by using good quality GPS equipment positioned so it has a direct
view to as large a portion of the sky as possible. Normally Lock-on-Road is
always active in Venturer GPS Navigation when GPS position is available.
However for pedestrian use it can be permanently turned off in Advanced
settings.
