When you open the screen, you will see all fields contain information on reaching your final destination.
Tap any of the fields to see data on the Via points starting from the first one through the final destination
again. You can see the following options on the screen:
●
Route line
The upper part of this screen shows your planned route as a horizontal line. Its leftmost point is
the start of the route, the rightmost one is the final destination, and you can see your Via point flags
along the line, spaced in proportion to their distance.
The blue (yellow when using night colors) arrow representing your position travels from the left to
the right, giving you visual feedback of your journey.
When you reach a Via point, it becomes the starting point of the route, the past is deleted. The line
with all the other Via points are modified instantly, and the arrow jumps back to the left.
When the Travel Companion needs to recalculate the route, the arrow does not jump back to the
left as when reaching a Via point. It might drift a bit as the length of the new route may be different
from the previous one.
When the data corresponding to the entire route is displayed in the fields below, the line is colored
the same way as the road type displayed on the map. When you see data that belongs to a Via
point, the route is colored only up to that Via point. The rest of the line remains grey.
●
Destination/Via point
This field shows the exact address (or its co-ordinates if the address is not available) of the final

●
Estimated Arrival

If Via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the estimated arrival at the first, second,
etc. Via point.
