On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu
screens of the software.
5.1 Concepts
5.1.1 Smart Zoom
Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:
While following a route:
when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view
angle to let you easily recognise your manoeuvre at the next junction. If the next turn is
at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to be flat so you can see the
road in front of you.
While driving without an active route:
Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly
and zoom out when you drive at high speed.
5.1.2 Route calculation and recalculation
Your software calculates the route based on your preferences:
Route planning methods:
: Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed
limit on all roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars.
: Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all
possible routes. It can be practical for slow vehicles.
: Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel
consumption data given in Route settings. Travel cost and CO

calculations are estimations only. They cannot take elevations, curves and
traffic conditions into account.
: Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult
manoeuvres. With this option, you can make your software to take, for example,
the motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.
Vehicle types:
When creating a new vehicle profile, select one of the below vehicle types.

Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account
when planning a route.
