4.1.2 Zoom levels

MioMap uses high quality vector maps that let you see the map at various zoom

levels, always with optimized content. Street names and other text objects are

always displayed with the same font size, never upside down, and you only see as

many streets and objects as needed to find your way around the map. Zoom in and

out to see how the map changes in either the 2D or 3D view.

Changing the scale of the map is very easy. You can drag and stretch the scale

(Page

23) at the bottom of the Map screen, or use the zoom icons (Page 21) on both

Map and Cockpit screens.

Note: If you need to zoom out briefly to locate your position on the map, use the

Overview mode instead of zooming out and back in. The Overview mode is a 2D

North-up view that can be started by tapping the compass button on the right (Page

23).

Note: MioMap has a special Smart Zoom function for navigation that automatically

rotates, scales and tilts the map in 3D map mode to always give you the optimal view

in your current situation. When approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view

angle to let you easily recognize your maneuver at the next junction. If the next turn

is at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to flat in order to let you

see the road in front of you.

4.1.3 Daylight and night color schemes

The different color schemes let you adjust MioMap to the brightness of the

environment. Use the daylight and night color schemes accordingly. Daylight colors

are similar to paper roadmaps, while the night color schemes use dark tints for large

objects to keep the average brightness of the screen low, with carefully selected

colors to still keep you informed about all the necessary information on the screen.

You can change between day and night views manually in the Quick Menu (Page

35) or let MioMap do it automatically (Page 64) for you.

Note: The automatic day/night mode is based upon the current date and GPS

position by which MioMap calculates the exact sunrise and sunset times on the

particular day at the particular location. Using that information MioMap can

automatically switch between the color schemes a few minutes before sunrise, when

the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset before it gets dark.
