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 The NVX225 Navigator 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.
4.4.4 Streets and roads
The similarity of The NVX225 Navigator to paper roadmaps is also convenient when
it comes to streets, the most important elements of the map concerning navigation.
The NVX225 Navigator 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.
Streets and roads have names or numbers for identification. Of course, this
information can be displayed on the map. The NVX225 Navigator uses two different
ways to show street labels. The conventional way is the same as a roadmap – it
displays the name of the street aligned with the street. The alternative is a kind of
virtual signpost stuck into the street itself.
You need not choose between the two modes. The NVX225 Navigator will use the
one best for the current tilt and zoom level. Zoom in to have only a few streets on the
map, and start tilting up and down to see how The NVX225 Navigator switches
between the two modes in an instant.
Note: The automatic switching is on even when using Smart Zoom. At first you may
find it odd, but later you will discover how it adjusts the displayed information to the
current view of the map. It is important, as the driver must be able to read the map at
a glance.
Tip: If you do not want to be bothered by street names during navigation, turn them
off on the Map Settings screen (5.2.4).
