4 Reference Guide
On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu screens used
in this software.
4.1 Concepts
4.1.1 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.
4.1.2 Daytime and night colour themes
The software uses different colour themes during the day and during the night for both the map and
the menu screens.
•
Daytime colours are similar to paper road maps, and the menus are bright.
•
The night colour themes use dark colours for large objects to keep the average brightness of
the screen low.
The software offers different daytime and night colour profiles. It can also switch automatically
between the daytime and the night schemes based on the current time and GPS position a few
minutes before sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset,
before it becomes dark.
4.1.3 Colour theme in tunnels
When entering a tunnel, the colours of the map change. All buildings disappear, large objects (such
as surface waters or forests) and empty areas between roads become black.
However, roads and streets keep their original colours from the daytime or night colour theme
currently used.
After leaving the tunnel, the original colours return.
