You can move and zoom the map, and you can set the Cursor to a different place. The usual Cursor  

 appears, and the buttons of the Cursor menu initiate actions for this new location. 

To return to the original Cursor position, tap 

. The map jumps back to the position with which the 

Cursor menu was opened, and the 

 icon appears again. 

 
 
 
2.3.3 Daytime and night color schemes 

XSG2 uses different color schemes during the day and during the night. 

 

Daytime colors are similar to paper road maps. 

 The 

night 

color schemes use dark colors for large objects to keep the average brightness of 

the screen low. 

XSG2 offers different daytime and night color schemes. It can also switch automatically between the 
daytime and the night scheme 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. 

2.3.4 Color scheme in tunnels 

When entering a tunnel, the colors of the map change. All buildings disappear, the large objects (such 
as surface waters or forests) and the empty areas between roads become black. 
However roads and streets keep their original colors from the daytime or night color scheme currently 
used. 
After leaving the tunnel, the original colors return. 

2.3.5 Route calculation and recalculation 

XSG2 calculates the route based on your preferences:
