About viewing the map

You can view the map in the same way as you might look at a traditional paper map. The map
shows your current location and many other locations such as Favourites and POIs.
To view the map in this way, tap View map or View route in the Main menu.
You view different locations on the map by moving the map across the screen. To move the map,
touch the screen and drag your finger across the screen. If your device supports gestures, you can
also zoom in and out by touching the screen with your thumb and forefinger and sliding your fin-
gers in and out.
To select a location on the map, tap the location on the map. The cursor highlights the location
and displays useful information about the location in an information panel. Tap the information
panel to create a Favourite or plan a route to that location.
