Elements Of The Active Route - Clarion NP509 User Manual

4.1.2.3 Elements of the active route

Clarion Mobile Map shows the route in the following way:
Symbol
Current GPS position
Cursor (selected map location)
Start point
Via point
Destination (end point)
Route color
Active leg of the route
Inactive legs of the route
Streets and roads that are
excluded from the navigation
Name
Your current position displayed on the map. If roads
are near, it is aligned to the nearest road.
The location selected in the Find menu, or a map
point selected by tapping the map.
The first point of the route.
Normally if GPS position is available, it is the start
point of the route. If there is no valid GPS position,
Clarion Mobile Map uses the last known GPS position
as the start point.
When you are using a saved route, Clarion Mobile
Map asks you if you want to use your GPS position or
the first point in the saved route as the start point.
You can also modify the start point in the Cursor
menu. If you do so, automatic off-route recalculation
needs to be turned off to keep the selected point as
the start point.
If automatic off-route recalculation is disabled for any
of the above, tapping the
Preview field not only initiates route recalculation from
the current GPS position, but it will re-enable the
automatic off-route recalculation as well.
A via point is an intermediate destination. You can
place as many via points as you want.
The last point of the route, the final destination.
The route always stands out with its color on the map,
both in daytime and in night color mode. The active
leg of the route is always displayed in a brighter shade
than the inactive (upcoming) legs.
The section of the route on which you are driving.
If you have not added any via points (only a
destination), the entire route is the active leg. If you
have added via points, the active leg is the part of the
route from your current location to the next route point
(the next via point, or the destination if there are no
more via points to reach).
The future sections of the route; each of them
becomes active when you reach the via point at its
beginning.
You can choose whether you want to use or avoid
certain road types (page 68). However, when Clarion
Mobile Map cannot avoid such roads, the route will
include them and it will show them in a color that is
different from the route color.
