Alpine Navigation Software uses high-quality vector maps
that let you see the map at various zoom levels, always with
optimised content. It always displays street names and
other text with the same font size, never upside down, and
you only see the streets and objects that you need.
Map scaling has different limits in 2D and in 3D map
view modes.
Tilting up and down
Changes the vertical view angle of the map in 3D mode.
Rotating left and right

or in rotated 2D mode. When GPS position is available,
Alpine Navigation Software always rotates the map so its
top faces your direction of travel (Track-Up orientation).
You can turn away from Track-Up with these buttons.
If GPS position is available and you have rotated the map,
tap to re-enable the automatic map rotation.

Lane information and Signposts

When navigating on multilane roads, it is important to take
the appropriate lane in order to follow the recommended
route. If lane informations are available in the map data,
Alpine Navigation Software displays the lanes and their
directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map.
button appears.
Arrows in yellow represent the lanes you need to take.
Where there is additional information available, signposts
substitute arrows. Signposts are always displayed at the top
of the map. The colour and style of the signposts are similar
to the real ones you can see above road or by the roadside.
They show the available destinations and the number of
the road the lane leads to. All signposts look similar when
cruising (when there is no recommended route).
When navigating a route, only that signpost is displayed in
vivid colours that points to the lane(s) to be taken; all others
are darkened out.
