5 Reference Guide

On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu
screens of Clarion Mobile Map.

5.1 Concepts

5.1.1 Smart Zoom

Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:
•
While following a route: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view
angle to let you easily recognise your manoeuvre at the next junction. If the next turn is
at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to be flat so you can see the
road in front of you.
•
While driving without an active route: Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly
and zoom out when you drive at high speed.

5.1.2 Daytime and night colour themes

Clarion Mobile Map uses different colour themes during the day and during the night for both
the map and the menu screens.
•
Daytime colours are similar to paper road maps, and the menus are bright.
•
The night colour themes use dark colours for large objects to keep the average
brightness of the screen low.
Clarion Mobile Map offers different daytime and night colour profiles. It can also switch
automatically between the daytime and the night schemes based on the current time and
GPS position a few minutes before sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few
minutes after sunset, before it becomes dark.
5.1.3 Tunnel view
When entering a tunnel, the map is replaced with a generic tunnel image so that surface
roads and buildings cannot distract you.
The top-down overview of the tunnel helps you orientate yourself. The remaining distance in
the tunnel is also displayed.
After leaving the tunnel, the original map view returns.
