Maps
Although this software uses digital maps, these are not simply digital
conversions from printed maps. The 2D mode digital map represents
roads in the same way as a traditional printed map, using color
classifications to show streets, roads, and changes in altitude.
In 3D mode, you can confirm differences in altitude for mountains,
valleys, highland roads and so on, and display areas of cities using 3D
landmarks and 3D images of buildings.
The digital map can be used interactively. You can zoom in and out
(enlarge/reduce), tilt up and down, and rotate left and right. By using
navigation that supports GPS, you can easily plan your route with the
digital maps.
North Up Map Direction
North Up mode rotates the map so that North is always at the top of
the map. You can use this direction with Find On Map and so on. Also
see “Heads-up Map Direction”.
Route
The route is an ordered arrangement of the route events (the next
change in the route - right or left turns, roundabouts, and so on),
presenting them as they occur until you reach your destination. If there
is one starting point, there must be at least one destination. On startup,
the start point is the current position (or the last confirmed position). If
you need to check a route that is not currently being driven, you can
move the start point to wherever you want.
Heads-up Map Direction
Heads-up mode rotates the map so that the direction you are currently
traveling is always at the top of the map. This is the default direction in
3D map display mode. Also see “North Up Map Direction”.
