Streets And Roads - Mio DigiWalker C310 Software Manual

You can change between day and night views manually in the Quick Menu (Page
42) or let MioMap do it automatically (Page 68) for you.
Note: The automatic day/night mode is based upon the current date and GPS
position by which MioMap calculates the exact sunrise and sunset times on the
particular day at the particular location. Using that information MioMap can
automatically switch between the color schemes a few minutes before sunrise, when
the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset before it gets dark.
Tip: There are several daytime and night color schemes included with MioMap. To
select the one that suits your needs the best, make your selection in Settings (Page
80).
Tip: To further enhance the effect of the night color scheme, you can instruct
MioMap to decrease the display backlight when the night colors are used. Set the
desired backlight levels for both daylight and night modes. Page 78.
Note: The colors mentioned and screenshots included in this manual refer to the
default daytime and night color schemes. They may not look the same in the
schemes you have chosen.
Tip: If you use MioMap after sunrise or before sunset, look for the sun in the sky in
the map background using a flat 3D view. It is displayed at its actual position to give
you another way to orientate, and also to provide some eye candy.

4.2.4 Streets and roads

The similarity of MioMap to paper roadmaps is also convenient when it comes to
streets, the most important elements of the map concerning navigation. MioMap
uses similar color codes to those you are accustomed to, and the width of the streets
also refers to their importance, so it will not be difficult to tell a highway from a small
street.
