Using the Graphic Map
Understanding the Graphic Map
The Graphic Map is nRoute's main navigation tool. nRoute displays the basemap and any detailed maps you
select in MapSource. The basemap contains major cities, roads, and highways, while detailed maps contain
smaller streets, addresses, intersections, and Points of Interest.
1. The Vessel icon indicates your position and heading on the Graphic Map.
2. Waypoints are displayed by symbol and by name.
3. Points of Interest are displayed as symbols. The names of some Points of Interest are displayed on the
map in a different font than waypoint names.
4. Active routes are displayed as colored lines on the map. The beginning point of the route is green; the
ending point of the route is red.
