4 Off-road navigation
When first started, Alpine X009E calculates routes using the road network
of the high quality vector maps provided with the product.
You can switch the application to off-road mode in Navigation settings in
one of the following ways:
From the Navigation menu, tap
,
and then
.
From the Map screen, tap
,
and then
.
Most of the procedures described for on-road navigation also apply to off-
road navigation. However, there are some that are not available in this
navigation mode (for example you cannot open the itinerary as you have no
manoeuvres just route points and straight lines between them).
4.1 Selecting the destination of the route
Selecting the start point or a destination (waypoint or final destination) is the
same as described at on-road navigation. The only difference is that route
points are linked to form a route with straight lines regardless of the road
network and traffic regulations.
4.2 Navigating in off-road mode
The real difference between the on-road and off-road modes is the
navigation itself. When you are on the Map screen with an off-road route:
your position and heading is not aligned with the nearest road and
there is no turn by turn navigation just a recommended direction.
You see a straight line drawn between your current position and the next
destination to reach. The Turn Preview field in the top left corner shows an
arrow with your bearing and the distance of the next destination.
