MAIN ELEMENTS
Zoom turned off, neither does the Follow button appear, nor will the view return to its previous state
if you zoom or tilt the map.
Delay before restoring
You can set the timeout for both Restore Lock-to-Position and Restore Smart Zoom here. Shorter
delays are best if you tend to accidentally change the map display, but you may prefer a longer
delay if you often look for things around your position while driving.
Remember to only look at the display if it is absolutely safe to do so.
Note: If you push the Follow button before the automatic Lock comes into effect, Smart Zoom and
Lock-to-Position will be re-enabled instantly.
Route options
You can set the basic route parameters on the Route Parameters settings screen described. On
this screen you have some more ways to influence route planning and route recalculation.
Off-route sensitivity and Recalculation delay
Depending on the quality of your GPS device, the GPS antenna location in the car and the
environment you are driving in, route recalculation can behave differently. Binatone Carrera may
think you have departed the proposed route and perform a reca
lculation even if you have not done so.
When the GPS reception is poor (e.g. driving in an urban environment with a low sensitivity GPS),
occasional wandering (called position fluctuation) of the calculated GPS position is likely. Although
Binatone Carrera employs a sophisticated Lock-
on-Road system that will mostly suppress these position
errors by aligning your position to the recommended rout
e and the road network of the map, sometimes
the errors are too large to correct.
To reduce the effect of large errors, you can increase the recalculation tolerance two ways.
Off-route sensitivity
This is a range of relative values from 0 to 10, telling Binatone Carrera how far the GPS position should
be from the recommended route before the program decides
to recalculate. Lower values make Binatone
Carrera insensitive to position errors; higher va
lues will result in quicker reactions.
Recalculation delay
This is a setting that helps suppress the effects of position fluctuation. With a few seconds delay in
recalculation even large position jumps can be survived without a need for route recalculation.
U-turn penalty
You can fine-tune the way Binatone Carrera takes U-turns into account when planning a route. You can
tell Binatone Carrera.
