Arrw view In the arrw view, yu are guided by a guidance system based n arrws, independent f a map. The arrw view prvides the fllwing infrmatin: The current directin f travel is described using the arrw. When there is an upcming manœuvre, the rientatin f the arrw indicates in what directin yu will be led during the maneuvre. Depending n the manœuvre, side streets may als be displayed, but the main rute is always clearly marked. The distance t the next manœuvre is shwn using the segment chain beside the arrw: The clser the manœuvre cmes, the mre segments in the chain are filled. This allws yu t readily estimate the actual distance frm the manœuvre based n yur speed. The street n which yu are currently lcated is shwn n the upper edge f the screen, as is the rute that yu must travel n this street t the next maneuvre. A-rads and mtrways are distinguished by clur and their number. If maneuvre is imminent, the display is switched: Nw the distance t the manœuvre is shwn as well as the street/directin in which yu will be guided after the maneuvre. The infrmatin bar in the lwer prtin f the windw shws all f the ther infrmatin abut the current rute (such as speed, distance, calculated travel time etc.). Trip inf In the Trip inf view, the fllwing infrmatin is displayed abut the current navigatin: Maximum speed Average speed Rute travelled Travel time This infrmatin refers t all f the rutes travelled since the last time the Trip inf was reset (see belw). T measure infrmatin abut a specific rute, yu must reset the trip inf at the start f navigatin. T d this, activate the buttn: All values are reset t 0 and the measurement is restarted. Nte 27
The values in the Trip infs are autmatically reset t 0 if yur navigatin device has received n valid GPS data packet in tw hurs.
