4 Off-road navigation
When first started, the software calculates routes using the road network of the
high quality vector maps provided with the product. You can switch the application
to off-road mode in Navigation settings in one of the following ways:
• From the Main menu, tap
,
,
and then
• From the Map screen, tap
,
and then
.
Most of the procedures described for on-road navigation also apply to off-road
navigation. However, there are some that are not available in this navigation mode
(for example you cannot open the itinerary as you have no manoeuvres just route
points and straight lines between them).
NOTE
Off-road navigation is a separate feature from and should not be
confused with the optional (if content is available) 4WD tracks setting in
Route settings.
4.1 Selecting the destination of the route
Selecting the start point or a destination (waypoint or final destination) is the same
as described at onroad navigation. The only difference is that route points are
linked to form a route with straight lines regardless of the road network and traffic
regulations.
4.2 Navigating in off-road mode
The real difference between the on-road and off-road modes is the navigation
itself. When you are on the Map screen with an off-road route:
• your position and heading is not aligned with the nearest road and
• there is no turn by turn navigation just a recommended direction.
