3.2.4 Switches
When a function can only have two values (mainly Enabled and Disabled), a switch
is used. Unlike with list selectors, the horizontal line contains the name of the
function and not the actual status. There is a lamp on the left to show whether the
function is active or not.
When the lamp is dark
, the function is not selected. When it is lit
, the function
is enabled. The whole strip works as a button. Tap anywhere to toggle between the
enabled and disabled status.
3.2.5 Switches in the Quick menu
The switches of the Quick menu (Page 42) behave as normal switches but they look
different in order to fit in with the other menu buttons.
Tap the button to toggle between the enabled and disabled states.
3.2.6 Virtual keyboards
XROAD is designed in a way that you only need to enter letters or numbers when it
is inevitable. In these cases a full screen keyboard pops up that can easily be
operated with your fingertips. You can choose between a separate ABC and numeric
keypad, or a set of QWERTY-type keyboards that contain both letters and numbers.
XROAD will remember your last choice and offer it the next time you need to enter
data.
The alphabetic keyboards in XROAD do not contain special characters, because you
do not need to enter accents when searching for a destination. Type only the base
letters (the letter most similar to the accented one) and XROAD will search for all
their combinations in the database (e.g. for the French street ‘Cité Bergère ’ you only
need to type ‘Cite Bergere’, and the rest is done by the program).
When you type in POI or track log names, XROAD will automatically turn all initials
into capitals to create names that look pleasant.
3.2.6.1 ABC-type keyboards
These keyboards contain only letters (Latin, Hebraic, Greek or Cyrillic). If you wish to
enter numbers, you need to tap the Keys button to switch to the numeric keyboard.
