What’s on the screen?

Much of the information on the main navigation view is configurable (see the ‘Preferences’

section for details). By default, you’ll see something like the illustration below.

If you miss a voice instruction, tap on the turn instruction in the bottom left hand corner (

between the screen and the world in front of you should be all you need.
