2D/3D GPS reception
The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and needs at least four
signals to give a three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are
moving and because objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four
signals. If three satellites are available, the receiver can calculate the horizontal GPS position
but the accuracy is lower and the GPS device does not give you elevation data: only 2D
reception is possible.
Active route
The currently navigated route. Whenever the destination is set, the route is active until you
delete it, reach your destination or you quit Caliber. See also: Route.
City Centre
The city/town centre is not the geometric centre of the city/town but an arbitrary point the map
creators have chosen. In towns and villages, it is usually the most important intersection; in
larger cities, it is one of the important intersections.
Colour theme
Caliber comes with different colour themes for daytime or night use of the map and menu
screens. Themes are custom graphic settings and they can have different colours for streets,
blocks or surface waters in 2D and 3D modes, and they display shades or shadows in
different ways in 3D mode.
One daytime scheme and one night scheme is always selected for the map and for the
menus. Caliber uses them when it switches from day to night and back.
GPS accuracy
Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position and the one given by
the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting objects near the
GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can
calculate your position.
Map
Caliber works with digital maps which are not simply the computerised versions of traditional
paper maps. Similarly to the paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps show you streets,
roads, and elevation is also shown by colours.
In 3D mode, you can see the altitude differences, for example valleys and mountains,
elevated roads, and in selected cities 3D landmarks and 3D buildings are also displayed.
You can use digital maps interactively: you can zoom in and out (increase or decrease the
scale), you can tilt them up and down, and rotate them left and right. In GPS-supported
navigation, digital maps facilitate route planning.
