There are several status icons on the map. Most of them
also function as a button. The information
they provide is as follows:
· GPS position quality
· Track log recording status
· TMC reception and processing status
This area is a multiple status indicator, and also acts as
a button that opens the GPS Data screen.
A red dot ( ) is displayed in this field if a Track log is
being recorded.
GPS reception quality shows the current accuracy of the
position information.
Alpine Navigation Software is connected to the GPS
receiver, but the signal is too weak and the receiver
cannot determine the GPS position.
Only a few satellites are received. Position information is
available, but elevation (altitude) cannot be calculated.
Altitude information is available, the position is a 3D position.

Continue straight in the intersection.
Enter roundabout. The number of the exit is
shown in the circle, but only for the next turn.
Enter motorway.
Exit motorway.

Approaching the next waypoint.
Approaching the destination.
There is a field reserved on the Map screen to display the
next manoeuvre (route events that are listed in the Turn List).
Both the type of the event (turn, roundabout, exiting
motorway, etc.) and its distance from the current GPS
position is displayed. Most of these icons are very intuitive
and you also know them as road signs. The following table
lists some of the frequently shown route events:

3D landmarks
Landmarks are 3D artistic or block representations of
prominent or well-known objects. 3D landmarks are only
available in selected cities and countries.
Elevation model
Hills and mountains are shown in the background of the
3D map view, and illustrated by colour on the 2D map.
Elevated roads
Complex intersections and vertically isolated roads
(such as overpasses or bridges) are displayed in 3D.
3D buildings
Full 3D city building data that represents actual building
size and position on the map. Building data is limited to
the city centres of major cities in the US and Europe.
3D terrain
3D terrain map data shows changes in terrain, elevations
or depressions in the land when you view the map, and
use it to plot the route map in 3D when you navigate.
· If you prefer not to see street names during navigation,
turn them off.
Alpine Navigation 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 differentiate a motorway from a small street.
Alpine Navigation Software supports the following 3D
object types:
