Other Objects; Current Position And Lock-On-Road - V7 NAV740 User Manual

You need not choose between the two modes. V7 Navigation will use the one best
for the current tilt and zoom level. Zoom in to have only a few streets on the map,
and start tilting up and down to see how V7 Navigation switches between the two
modes in an instant.
Note: The automatic switching is on even when using Smart Zoom. At first you may
find it odd, but later you will discover how it adjusts the displayed information to the
current view of the map. It is important, as the driver must be able to read the map at
a glance.
Tip: If you do not want to be bothered by street names during navigation, turn them
off in Map settings (Page 52).
Tip: Major roads usually have alternative names (numbering) besides the primary
name. You can choose whether to display these alternative names or not. You can
set this in Map Options (Page 52).

4.1.5 Other objects

To help orientate you, the map also contains objects that have no other navigating
function than to help you recognize your location on the map. These are surface-
waters, large buildings, forests, etc.
Tip: These objects are normally displayed using textured polygons that look natural
to the eye. You may wish to switch the textured display off (Page 52) to free some of
the resources of your V7 Portable Navigation System by replacing textures with plain
colored surfaces.

4.1.6 Current position and Lock-on-Road

When your GPS position is available, a blue arrow (yellow when using night colors)
shows your location on the map.
The direction of the arrow represents your heading. The arrow is sized and vertically
rotated with the zoom levels to always look realistic.
