2.4 Map
Program can be operated in three modes:
• the map view mode – with the GPS receiver off,
• the show position/tracking mode – with the GPS receiver on but without a mapped route,
• the navigation mode – with the GPS receiver on and a mapped route.
Map view
This is the simplest way of working with Software and it does not require a
connection with the GPS receiver. In this mode, the user can view the map,
find address points or POI. The user can also map a route between selected
points and view the route on the map.
When the user taps on any point on the map or an icon of an object
displayed on the map, a "balloon" with a description of the given location
will be displayed: the name of the street and town, building address,
description of POI or a favourite point. The description is also displayed on
the bar located at the bottom of the screen.
Map view 2
The software enables the user to find the searched location in several ways.
One of them involves the use of pen/fingers for scrolling the map and the
use of tools for changing the scale in which the map is displayed. This is a
good viewing method if the user knows in which area of the map the
searched point is located, and place names do not have to be entered in the
search window.
Another useful function is the option of magnifying a rectangular section of
the map, which can be assigned to hardware buttons. (Refer to: Advanced
features and system settings/ Settings menu/Settings: Buttons.
Map scrolling and zooming
Map scrolling allows the user to change the currently displayed section of the map. Each movement of the pen/finger on
the screen moves the map in the indicated direction. The scale in which the map is displayed is not changed.
If the user wants to see an interesting map section in greater detail, he/she can grab a rectangular area to zoom in.
By default, the Switch to map scrolling/zooming function is assigned to the screen button, which hides the
screen buttons and slider. To toggle between the enlarging and map zooming mode, press and hold this button.
The mode and button icon will change.
During map zooming it is possible to change the scale of the map to suit the user's individual requirements. The scale can
also be changed with the scale slider.
Scale Slide Rule
The scale Slide Rule is found on the right of the program screen. It is used to smoothly zoom in and out on the screen.
If the Slide Rule is moved down, the map will be enlarged to a more detailed view. When the Slide Rule is moved up, it
produces the opposite effect – the user zooms out and details disappear.
On the Slide Rule there is a scale, referring to the map width visible on the screen.
