GLOSSARY

Active Route
The currently navigated route.
Whenever a destination is set, the route
is active until you delete it or reach
your destination.
Town Center
The town center is not the geometric
center of the town but an arbitrary point
the map creators have chosen. In
towns and villages, it is usually the most
important intersection; in larger cities,
it is one of the important intersections.
Color Scheme
The navigation system has different
color schemes for daytime and
nighttime which can be selected as
desired.
One daytime scheme and one nighttime
scheme is always selected for the map
and for the menus.
The navigation system uses them when
it switches from day to night and
back.

GPS Accuracy
Several factors have impact on the
deviation between your real position
and the one given by the GPS device.
For example, signal delay in the
ionosphere or reflecting objects near
the GPS device have a different and
varying impact on how accurately the
GPS device can calculate your position.
Map
The navigation system works with
digital maps which are not simply the
computerized versions of traditional
paper maps. Similarly to paper road
maps, the 2D mode of digital maps
show you streets, roads, and elevation
by colors.
In 3D mode, you can see the altitude
differences, for example valleys and
mountains, elevated roads, and in
selected cities 3D landmarks and 3D
buildings are also displayed.
You can use digital maps interactively:
you can zoom in and out (increase
or decrease the scale), you can tilt them
up and down, and rotate them left and
right.
In GPS-supported navigation, digital
maps facilitate route planning.
North-Up Map Orientation
In North-up mode the map is rotated so
its top always faces North. This is the
orientation for example in Find on Map.
Road Safety Camera
This function is not available in some
countries and regions.
Special alert points for speed, red light
or bus lane cameras. Different data
sources are available. You can
configure the navigation system to warn
you when you approach one of these
cameras.
Detecting the location of Road Safety
Cameras is prohibited in certain
countries.
It is the sole responsibility of the driver
to check whether this feature can be
used during the trip.
The software is capable of showing and
warning for more than just cameras.
Various other types of proximity alert
points like school zones and railway
crossings are also available.
