.. Screens with map
Having explained the contents of the map, the description of the other parts of the map
screens follows. There are two map screens: the Map screen and the Cockpit screen. The
way they show the map is the same but their look and controls are optimised for different
purposes.
The Map screen is to be used mainly without a GPS, to browse the map, create user POI
items, or to plan your route based on map points. The Map screen is designed to give you
the maximum map area. This screen is usually used in 2D North-up mode.
You can set ASUS GO so it always opens the Map screen in 2D North-up mode (Page
73).
The Cockpit screen is for driving purposes. Besides showing the map, it contains some
additional travel information if you are just cruising (speed, current street you are driving
in, speed limit for the current street), and some more route data if you are navigating (e.g.
next street in your route, distance to travel, type of the next route event). This screen is
typically used in 3D Track-up mode.
You can make ASUS GO always open the Cockpit screen in 3D Track-up mode.
There are several controls that function in a similar fashion on the two screens. They are
described on the following pages.
