The exact location of the Vehimarker depends on the vehicle type used for route
calculation. The vehicle type can be selected in Route settings (page 107).
• If you choose pedestrian: The Vehimarker is at your exact GPS position. The
direction of the icon shows your current heading.
• In all other cases: The Vehimarker may not show your exact GPS position
and heading. If roads are near, it is aligned to the nearest road to suppress
GPS position errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of
the road.
2.3.2.2 Selected map location (Cursor) and selected map object
You can mark a map location in the following ways:
• Tap the map when navigating,
• Tap the map when you are asked to confirm the destination at the end of a
search, or
• Tap the map in Find on Map (page 65)
When a map location is selected, the Cursor appears at the selected point on the
map. The Cursor is displayed with a radiating red dot ( ) to make it visible at
all zoom levels.
The location of the Cursor can be used as the destination of the route, you can
search for Places around it, or you can save this location as one of your Favourite
destinations.
You can also select some of the objects on the map. If you tap the map at the icon
of a Place of Interest or an alert point, the object will be selected (you see a red
circling border around the object), and you can get information about this object or
use it as a route point.
2.3.3 Objects on the map
2.3.3.1 Streets and roads
The software shows the streets in a way that is similar to how the paper road
maps show them. Their width and colours correspond to their importance: you can
easily tell a motorway from a small street.
