Streets and roads have names or numbers for identification. Of course, this

information can be displayed on the map. The NVX225 Navigator uses two different

ways to show street labels. The conventional way is the same as a roadmap – it

displays the name of the street aligned with the street. The alternative is a kind of

virtual signpost stuck into the street itself.

You need not choose between the two modes. The NVX225 Navigator 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 The NVX225 Navigator 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 on the Map Settings screen (5.2.4).

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 settings (5.2.3).

4.4.5 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. Should you have a slow PND, you may wish to switch the textured display

off (5.2.5) to free some of the resources of your PND by replacing textures with plain

colored surfaces.

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 and tilt levels to always look

realistic.

The NVX225 Navigator has a built-in Lock-on-Road feature that always puts the

position arrow on the road, on the axis of the street in case of one-way streets, or on

the side of the road where you drive (e.g. on the right in Germany and on the left in

the U.K.) on two-way roads.
