• 2D map orientation
o North up
In the North up mode the map is alway shown in the direction of north: in real terms, this
means that direction you are travelling in may differ from or even be the complete oppo-
site of the map orientation.
o Map in direction of travel
In the Map in direction of travel mode the map is always shown in the direction you are
currently travelling in: depending on the level of zoom, it may be that the region or land
you are currently driving in is shown on its side or upside down on the screen.
o Optimised
In the Optimised mode the map is oriented to the north or the direction of travel, depend-
ing on the map scale. In real terms this means that
o At high zoom levels (extreme enlargement of the map section), the map is displayed
in the direction of travel, thus making orientation based on the surroundings easier.
o At low zoom levels (minimal enlargement of the map section), the map is automati-
cally rotated so that it always faces north: This mode improves clarity and prevents
countries or regions from being displayed upside down.
Tip
Switching between the 2D and tilted 3D map view is only possible using the onscreen
compass symbol.
• Time format
o 24 h
All time information within the navigation software is displayed using the 24-hour clock.
o 12 h
All time information within the navigation software is displayed using the 12-hour format
(AM/PM).
• Auto zoom
o Nearby
The current map section is magnified to a high zoom level.
o Medium
When the auto zoom function is active, the current map section is enlarged to a medium
zoom level if a manoeuvre is to be performed soon.
o Far
The current map section is reduced to a low zoom level.
• Automatic dimming
This option is only relevant for the battery mode of your navigation device. It decreases the
amount of energy used by your device in order to increase operational performance.
o Standard
In Standard mode screen brightness will automatically be dimmed (day mode: Brightness
night; night mode: Reduced brightness night), if the device is not used for 30 seconds and
there is no manoeuvre pending.
If the device is used or a manouevre is pending (car/motorbike: in 5 kilometers; bicycle in
750m) screen brightness will automatically reset to Brightness day as defined by the de-
vice settings (see
Screen settings) and subsequently be dimmed again.
