Customizing preferences
If you are approaching a freeway exit or a
complex intersection and the needed infor-
mation exists, the map is replaced with a
3D view of the junction. You can turn this
feature on or let the map be displayed for
the whole route.
! Tunnel View:
When entering tunnels, the surface roads
and buildings can be distracting. This fea-
ture shows a generic picture of a tunnel in-
stead of the map. A top-down overview of
the tunnel and remaining distance are also
displayed.
! Route Progress Bar:
Turn on the route progress bar to see your
route as a straight line on the left side of
the map. The blue arrow represents your
current position and moves up as you tra-
vel. Waypoints and traffic events are also
displayed on the line.
! Offer Congestion Detour on Highways:
When you slow down while driving on a
freeway, there is a chance that you are in a
traffic congestion so this system offers you
a detour using the next exit. The message
shows you distance of the exit and the dif-
ference in distance and estimated time
compared to the original route. You can
choose from one of the following options:
! Touch [Dismiss] or just ignore the mes-
sage if you want to keep the original
route.
! Touch [Preview] to see the overview of
the original route and the detour to
make the decision. You can accept the
detour as offered or increase the by-
passed freeway segment before accept-
ing.
! Turn to the suggested new direction and
the route will be automatically recalcu-
lated.
! Offer Real-time Route Alternatives:
Alternative routes can be suggested when
driving on normal roads. This system will
select a different turn in the upcoming in-
tersection and offers you a different route
for the next section of the route. But you
cannot modify the offered detour.
! Offer Parking Around Destination:
Parking at the destination may not be easy
in city areas. As you approach the destina-
tion, this system can offer parking category
places near your destination. Touch this key
to open a top-down map with the destina-
tion and the offered parking places. Select
one and modify the route accordingly.
! Offer Hints Upon Detour:
If you leave the recommended route and
suddenly exit the freeway, this system offers
different alternatives near the exit like gas
stations or restaurants. Also, if there are
avoidable parts of the original route ahead
(like a tunnel, a toll road or a ferry), you will
find them in the list in case you want to by-
pass them with the help of this system.
