4.4.10.4 Inactive legs of the route

Future sections of a route are inactive. They are also shown on the map with the

same colour but a darker tint than the active one. An inactive route section becomes

active as soon as you reach its starting Via point.

4.4.10.5 Roads in the route excluded by your preferences

Although you can choose whether to include or avoid some road types in Route

parameter settings (Page 62), sometimes they are impossible to avoid near the

starting point, via points or the destination.

If so, Uniden Navigation will display those segments of the route with an alternate

colour.

4.5 Screens with map

Having explained the contents of the map, the description of the other parts of the

map screens follows. There are two map screens: the Map screen and the Cockpit

screen. The way they show the map is the same but their look and controls are

optimised for different purposes.

The Map screen is to be used mainly without a GPS, to browse the map, create user

POI items, or to plan your route based on map points. The Map screen is designed to

give you the maximum map area. This screen is usually used in 2D North-up mode.

You can set Uniden Navigation so it always opens the Map screen like that (Page

65).

The Cockpit screen is for driving purposes. Besides showing the map, it contains

some additional travel information if you are just cruising (speed, current street your

are driving in, speed limit for the current street), and some more route data if you are

navigating (e.g. next street in your route, distance to travel, type of the next route

event). This screen is typically used in 3D Track-up mode (you can make Uniden

Navigation always open the Cockpit screen like that).
