2.2.2 Position markers

2.2.2.1 Vehimarker and Lock-on-Road

When your GPS position is available, the software marks your current
position with the Vehimarker. By default, this marker is a blue arrow, but
you can change this icon in Settings.
When on-road navigation is selected, the Vehimarker may not 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.
If you select off-road navigation: The Vehimarker is at your exact GPS
position. The direction of the icon shows your current heading.
