4.4.7 Selected map point, also known as the Cursor
If you tap the map somewhere or select a specific item in Find, it will become the
selected point on the map, marked with a small red dot and permanently radiating
red circles to make it conspicuous at all zoom levels, even when it is in the
background of a 3D map view. You can use this point as starting point, via point, or
destination of your route, you can search for a POI near to it, mark it with a drawing-
pin, or save it as a POI. The cursor, when visible, is also the reference point for map
scaling.
Note: When your GPS position is available, and Lock-to-Position is active, the cursor
is always the current GPS position. When you select another point by tapping the
map, or using Find, the new Cursor is shown on the display, Lock-to-Position
becomes disabled, and the Lock button appears on the screen. Now the Cursor is
the newly selected point. As soon as you tap the Lock button, or after the given
timeout The NVX225 Navigator restores Lock-to-Position (5.6.3.3), and the Cursor
jumps back to the current GPS position.
4.4.8 Marked map points (Pin)
The Cursor can be marked with a pin. Pins are shown as being stuck in the map. A
pin is visible at all zoom levels and remains in its position until you unpin it, or delete
all pins in advanced settings (5.6.5.3).
The NVX225 Navigator automatically selects the color of the pin. Different colors help
you identify a pin in the History list (6.3.2) later. There they are shown together with
their address and GPS coordinates.
Tip: A quick way to tell the coordinates of a location you found on the map is to pin it,
and then look for the coordinates in the History list (6.3.2). This way you also save
the coordinates with the pin for later reference. If you do not need the coordinates
later, just select the point and start Find Coordinates (6.3.3).
4.4.9 Visible POIs (Points of Interest)
The NVX225 Navigator comes with thousands of built-in POIs, and you can create
your own POI database as well. Having all of them displayed on the map would make
the map too crowded. To avoid this, The NVX225 Navigator lets you select which
POIs to show and which ones to hide (4.7.2.4) using their categories and
subcategories.
Icons on the map represent pOIs. For a built-in POI it is the icon of the subcategory
of the actual POI. For points you create, it is the icon you had chosen when you
created the POI (it can be changed later).
