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:
x W
hile following a route: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view angle to let
you easily recognize your maneuver 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.
x W
hile 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 Daytime and night color themes
The software uses different color themes during the day and during the night for both the map and the
menu screens.
x Daytime colors are similar to paper road maps, and the menus are bright.
x
The night color themes use dark colors for large objects to keep the average brightness of the
screen low.
The software offers different daytime and night color profiles. It can also switch automatically between the
daytime and the night schemes based on the current time and GPS position a few minutes before
sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset, before it becomes dark.
5.1.3 Route calculation and recalculation

roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars.
x
