2D And 3D Map Views - HP 914c - iPAQ Business Messenger Smartphone Navigation Manual

and in possible controls but are optimised for different uses. The map they display is
common. The elements of the map are described here. For the controls and special
functions of the two map screens see Page 38.
The current version of HP iPAQ Trip Guide is primarily intended for land navigation.
That is why maps in HP iPAQ Trip Guide look similar to paper roadmaps (when using
daytime colours and 2D map mode). However, HP iPAQ Trip Guide provides much
more than regular paper maps can. The look and the contents can be changed.

2D and 3D map views

Besides the classical top down view of the map (called 2D mode), you have the
possibility to tilt the map 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.
It is easy to change between 2D and 3D modes. You have two options. You can use
the Tilt up and down buttons (Page 4 ) to tilt the map seamlessly between 2D and all
3D angles, or you can use the switch in the Quick menu (Page 56
between the two modes.
Note:
You may find that 2D mode is more useful in North-up Map mode when
looking for a certain part of the map or an object to select as destination. On the
other hand, 3D mode in Track-up Cockpit mode with Smart Zoom makes
navigation very comfortable. The description of these modes will come later in
this manual.
Note:
3D view is only useful for navigation. As you zoom out, the view angle will
automatically be raised. Finally 2D view will be reached. When you zoom back
in, 3D view will gradually return.
