5 Reference Guide
On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts
and menu screens of the software.
5.1 Concepts
5.1.1 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 recognise your manoeuvre
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.
5.1.2 Route calculation and recalculation
Your software 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.
: Gives a quick but fuel efficient route
based on the fuel consumption data given in Route settings.

emission calculations are estimations
only. They cannot take elevations, curves and traffic
conditions into account.
