4.1.2.3 Elements of the active route
IGO 8 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 Find 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, IGO 8 uses the last
known GPS position as the start point.
When you are using a saved route, IGO 8 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 turned 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.
Via point
A via point is an intermediate destination. You can place as
many via points 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 via points (only a destination), the
entire route is the active leg. If you have added via points, the
active leg is the part of the route from your current location to
the next route point (the next via point, or the destination if
there are no more via points to reach).
Inactive legs of the route The future sections of the route; each of them becomes
active when you reach the via point at its beginning.
Streets and roads that
are excluded from the
navigation
You can choose whether you want to use or avoid certain
road types (page 79). However, when IGO 8 cannot avoid
su
ch roads, the route will include them and it will show them
in a colour that is different from the route colour.
