Discovering The Program Through The Screens; The Map; And 3D Map Views - V7 NAV740 User Manual

4 Discovering the program through the screens

The best way to discover V7 Navigation is to explore each screen in detail, and to
find out how to move from one to another. Read this chapter for a guided tour.

4.1 The map

V7 Navigation starts by displaying the map. This is the most important and most
frequently used screen of V7 Navigation. The elements of the map are described
here. For the controls and special functions of the map screen see Page 24.
The current version of V7 Navigation is primarily intended for land navigation. That is
why maps in V7 Navigation look similar to paper road maps. However, V7 Navigation
provides much more than regular paper maps can. The look and the contents can be
changed.
4.1.1 2D and 3D map views
Besides the classical top down view of the map (called 2D mode), when you zoom
in, the map tilts down to have a perspective view (3D mode) that gives a view similar
to that seen through the windscreen with the possibility to see far ahead.
