TIP :
If you use this Navigator after
sunrise or before sunset, look
for the sun in the sky in the map
background using a flat 3D view. It
is displayed at its actual position to
give you another way to orientate
your direction.
6.3.4 Streets and Roads
The similarity of this Navigator
to paper roadmaps is also
convenient when it comes to
streets, the most important
elements of the map concerning
navigation. This Navigator uses
similar color codes to those you
are accustomed to, and the
width of the streets also refers
to their importance, so it will not
be difficult to tell a highway from
a small street.
Streets and roads have names
or numbers for identification.
Of course, this information can
be displayed on the map. This
Navigator uses two different
ways to show street labels. The
conventional way is the same as
a roadmap - it displays the name
of the street aligned with the
street. The alternative is a kind
of virtual signpost embedded
into the street itself.
You do not need to choose
between the two modes. This
Navigator will use the one best
for the current tilt and zoom
level. Zoom in to have only a
few streets on the map, and
start tilting up and down to see
how this Navigator switches
between the two modes in an
instant.
