Cause: The digital map data may not include every single address. Solution 1: If the house number is not known or Z-EMAP50 cannot find it, select only the street name. This way, Z-EMAP50 will navigate you to the midpoint of the street, where you can find the exact address more easily.
Issue: Some keyboard buttons are greyed out and cannot be used. Cause: Z-EMAP50 has a smart keyboard for address search, which means that only those buttons are active that can be used to type a name that is available on the map.
5.6 The map is hidden behind an image of a junction Issue: The map is not visible because it is hidden behind an image of a junction. Cause: If you are approaching a motorway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction.
