Colour theme
Clarion Mobile Map comes with different colour themes for daytime or night use of the map
and menu screens. Themes are custom graphic settings and they can have different colours
for streets, blocks or surface waters in 2D and 3D modes, and they display shades or
shadows in different ways in 3D mode.
One daytime scheme and one night scheme is always selected for the map and for the
menus. Clarion Mobile Map uses them when it switches from day to night and back.
GPS accuracy
Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position and the one given by
the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting objects near the
GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can
calculate your position.
Map
Clarion Mobile Map works with digital maps which are not simply the computerised versions
of traditional paper maps. Similarly to the paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps
show you streets, roads, and elevation is also shown by colours.
In 3D mode, you can see the altitude differences, for example valleys and mountains,
elevated roads, and in selected cities 3D landmarks and 3D buildings are also displayed.
You can use digital maps interactively: you can zoom in and out (increase or decrease the
scale), you can tilt them up and down, and rotate them left and right. In GPS-supported
navigation, digital maps facilitate route planning.
Road Safety Camera
Special alert points for speed, red light or bus lane cameras. Different data sources are
available. You can configure Clarion Mobile Map to warn you when you approach one of
these cameras.
Detecting the location of Road Safety Cameras is prohibited in certain countries. It is the sole
responsibility of the driver to check whether this feature can be used during the trip.
The software is capable of showing and warning for more than just cameras. Various other
types of proximity alert points like school zones and railway crossings are also available.
Route
A sequence of route events, i.e. manoeuvres (for example, turns and roundabouts) to reach
the destination. The route contains one start point and one or more destinations. The start
point is the current (or last known) position by default. If you need to see a future route, the
start point can be replaced with any other given point.
Track-up map orientation
In Track-up mode the map is rotated so its top always points in the current driving direction.
This is the default orientation in 3D map view mode.
Vehimarker
The current position is shown with a red arrow on the map by default. The direction of the red
arrow shows the current heading. This position marker can be replaced with different vehicle
and pedestrian symbols. You can even specify different Vehimarkers for different route types
(depending on which vehicle type is selected for route calculation).
