4.4.10.3 The active leg of the route
The active leg is the section of the route you are currently driving. If you have not
added any via points, the whole route will be the active leg. When via points are
present, the active leg is the part leading from your location to the next via point.
The active section is displayed in light green when the sun is up, and in red during
the night. In both cases it is the most conspicuous part of the map even when in the
background of a 3D map view.
The line of the route is displayed on the driving side of the road for two-way and on
the axis in case of one-way streets. When the map is zoomed in and the line is wide
enough, small arrows show the direction of the route. This can be useful if you
preview the route before starting the journey or when entering a complex junction.
4.4.10.4 Inactive legs of the route
Future sections of a route are inactive. They are also shown on the map with the
same color but a darker tint than the active one. An inactive route section becomes
active as soon as you reach its starting via point.
4.4.10.5 Roads in the route excluded by your preferences
Although you can choose whether to include or avoid some road types in Route
parameter settings (5.4.4), sometimes they are impossible to avoid near the starting
point, via points or the destination. If so, The NVX225 Navigator will display those
segments of the route with an alternate color. They are shown in red with daylight
colors, and yellow with the night color scheme, both in active and inactive legs of the
route.
4.5 Screens with map
Having explained the contents of the map, the description of the other parts of the
map screens follows. There is two map screens: the Map screen and the Cockpit
screen. The way they show the map is the same but their look and controls are
optimized for different purposes.
The Map screen is to be used mainly without a GPS, to browse the map, create user
POI items, or to plan your route based on map points. The Map screen is designed to
give you the maximum map area. This screen is usually used in 2D North-up mode
(you can set The NVX225 Navigator so it always opens the Map screen like that –
see 5.6.1.1).
