Route guidance
To use route guidance, select
Navigation
. Start the route
guidance outdoors. If started indoors, the GPS receiver
may not receive the necessary information from the
satellites.
Route guidance uses a rotating compass on the device
display. A red ball shows the direction to the destination,
and the approximate distance to it is shown inside the
compass ring.
Route guidance is designed to show the straightest route
and the shortest distance to the destination, measured in
a straight line. Any obstacles on the route, such as
buildings and natural obstacles, are ignored. Differences
in altitude are not taken into account when calculating
the distance. Route guidance is active only when you
move.
