What happens when I use the Turn off map display option?
When you turn off the map display, instead of seeing your position on a map
in the Driving View, you will only see information about the next instruction.
Tap the button and select an option for when the map should be turned off.
These are the options:
• Always - The map will not be shown and you will only see information
about the next instruction and arrows showing direction.
• Above a certain speed - you set the speed at which point the map will be
turned off. This option is useful for situations when the map might be
distracting, such as when you are driving fast.
• Never - the map is never turned off.
Show POI on
map
Tap this button to set which categories for the Points of Interest (POIs)
should be shown on the map.
Select the POIs that you want to see on the map from the list.
When you select a POI, it is shown on the map using the symbol you can
see next to each category in the list.
To find a POI category quickly, tap Find, then start to type the name of the
POI category. As soon as the category is shown in the list, you can select it.
For more information about POIs, see Points of Interest on page 37.
