You only need to confirm selections or changes if the application needs to restart, it needs to perform a major reconfiguration, or you are about to lose some of your data or settings. Otherwise, Clarion Mobile Map saves your selections and applies the new settings without confirmation as soon as you use the controls.

2.2.3.1 Streets and roads Clarion Mobile Map shows the streets in a way that is similar to how the paper road maps show them. Their width and colours correspond to their importance: you can easily tell a motorway from a small street.
When navigating on multilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the recommended route. If lane information is available in the map data, Clarion Mobile Map displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lanes and direction you need to take.
Tap any of them to display the exit area on the map. You can now easily add this exit as a waypoint to your route if needed. If you want to display other types of Places for the exits, you can change the icons in Visual Guidance settings (page 89). 16 NX404AU English...
