5. REFERENCE
GUIDE
On the following pages you will find the
description of the different concepts and menu
screens of MMES.
Concepts
q Smart Zoom
Smart Zoom provides much more than just a
usual automatic zoom feature:
•
While following a route: when
approaching a turn, it will zoom in and
raise the view angle to let you easily
recognize your maneuver 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:
Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly
and zoom out when you drive at high
speed.
q Daytime and night color
themes
MMES uses different color themes during the
day and during the night for both the map and
the menu screens.
•
Daytime colors are similar to paper road
maps, and the menus are bright.

•
The night color themes use dark colors
for large objects to keep the average
brightness of the screen low.
MMES offers different daytime and night
color profiles. It can also switch automatically
between the daytime and the night schemes
based on the current time and position a few
minutes before sunrise, when the sky has
already turned bright, and a few minutes after
sunset, before it becomes dark.
q Tunnel view
When entering a tunnel, the map is replaced
with a generic tunnel image so that surface
roads and buildings cannot distract you.
The top-down overview of the tunnel helps
you orient yourself. The remaining distance in
the tunnel is also displayed.
After leaving the tunnel, the original map view
returns.
This feature can be turned off in Settings
(page 71).
q Route calculation and
recalculation
MMES calculates the route based on your
preferences:
•
Route planning methods:
•
: Gives a quick
route if you can travel at or near the
speed limit on all roads. Usually the
best selection for fast and normal cars.
•
: Gives a quick
but fuel-efficient route based on the
fuel consumption data given in Route
settings. Travel cost and CO
calculations are estimations only. They
cannot take elevations, curves and
traffic conditions into account.
•
: Gives a route that
has the smallest total distance of all
possible routes. It can be practical for
slow vehicles.
•
: Results in a
route with fewer turns and no difficult
maneuvers. With this option, you can
make MMES to take, for example, the
freeway instead of a series of smaller
roads or streets.
