Alpine Navigation Software Concepts; Auto Zoom; Daytime And Night Colour Profiles; Position Markers - Alpine INA-W900E Owner's Manual

The Cursor is added to the active route as an intermediate
route point, a point to be reached before the destination.
If there is already a waypoint in the route, the Edit Route
screen opens to let you decide where the new waypoint
is to appear in the route.
The location of the Cursor is added to the list of frequently
visited destinations, the so called Favourites. You can give
a name for the Favourite.

Alpine Navigation Software concepts

Auto Zoom

Auto Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic
zoom feature:
· While following a route calculated by Alpine Navigation
Software: 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 in Alpine Navigation
Software: Auto Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly and
zoom out when you drive at high speed.

Position markers

Current GPS position and Lock-on-Road
When your GPS position is available, Alpine Navigation
Software marks your current position with the
icon on the map.
The exact location of the position marker depends on the
vehicle type used for route calculation. The vehicle type can
be selected in Route settings
If you choose any of the vehicles, the
show your exact GPS position and heading. If roads are near,
it is aligned to the nearest road to suppress GPS position
errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction
of the road.
Returning to normal navigation
When GPS position is available, and you have moved the map
(the icon is moving or is not even visible), or you have
rotated the map in 3D or rotated 2D mode, tap
the map back to the GPS position and re-enable automatic
map rotation.
· Even if you move the map while you are driving, Alpine
Navigation Software continues navigating if there is an
active route: it plays the voice instructions and displays the
turn preview icon according to your current GPS position.

Selected location (Cursor)
If you select a location in the Destination menu, or you tap
the map when the map control buttons are visible, the Cursor
appears at the selected point on the map. Alpine Navigation
Software displays the Cursor with a large circle (
make it visible at all zoom levels, even when it is in the
background of a 3D map view.
When the Cursor is set, tap
appears and you can use the Cursor as one of the following:
· the start point of a route
· a waypoint in a route
· the destination of a route
You can also search for POIs around the Cursor.
Or you can save the location of the Cursor as:
· a Favourite
· a POI

Daytime and night colour profiles

Alpine Navigation Software uses different colour profiles
during the day and during the night.
· Daytime colours are similar to paper road maps.
· The night colour profiles use dark colours for large objects
to keep the average brightness of the screen low.
Alpine Navigation Software 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.

Colour scheme in tunnels

When entering a tunnel, the colours of the map change.
All buildings disappear, large objects (such as surface waters
or forests) and empty areas between roads become black.
However, roads and streets keep their original colours from
the daytime or night colour scheme currently used.
After leaving the tunnel, the original colours return.
