8.1.2.3 Elements of the active route
Alpine Navigation Software shows the route in the following way:
Symbol Name Description
Current GPS position
Your current position displayed on the map.
• In pedestrian mode it is the exact GPS position.
• If a vehicle is selected for route calculation and
roads are near, the symbol is put on the
nearest road.
Cursor (selected map location)
The location selected in the Destination menu, or a
map point selected by tapping the map.
Start point The first point of the route.
Normally if GPS position is available, it is the
start
point of the route. If there is no valid GPS position
,
Alpine Navigation Software uses the last known
GPS
position as the start point.
When you are using a saved route
, Alpine Navigation
Software asks you if you want to use your
GPS
position or the first point in the saved route as the
start
point.
You can also modify the start point in the
Cursor
menu. If you do so, automatic off-route recalculation
needs to be t
urned off to keep the selected point as
the start point.
If automatic off-route recalculation
is disabled for any
of the above, tapping the icon in the Turn
Preview field not only initiates route recalculation
from
the current GPS position, but it will re-
enable the
automatic off-route recalculation as well.
Waypoint
A waypoint is an intermediate destination.
You can
place as many waypoints as you want.
Destination (end point) The last point of the route, the final destination.
Route colour The route
always stands out with its colour on the
map, both in daytime and in night colour mode.
The
active leg of the route
is always displayed in a brighter
shade than the inactive (upcoming) legs.
Active leg of the route
The section of the route on which you are driving.
If you have not added any waypoints
(only a
destination), the entire route is the active leg.
If you
have added waypoints, the active leg
is the part of the
route from your current location to the next route point
(the next waypoint, or the destination
if there are no
more waypoints to reach).
Inactive legs of the route The future sections of the route
; each of them
becomes active when you reach the waypoint
at its
