Note: You may find that 2D mode is more useful in North-up Map mode when

looking for a certain part of the map or an object to select as destination. On the

other hand, 3D mode in Track-up Cockpit mode with Smart Zoom makes navigation

very comfortable. The description of these modes will come later in this manual.

Note: 3D view is only useful for navigation. As you zoom out, the view angle will

automatically be raised. Finally 2D view will be reached. When you zoom back in, 3D

view will gradually return.

4.2.2 Zoom levels

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

levels, always with optimised 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 27) at the bottom of the Map screen, or use the zoom icons 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

28).

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 recognise your manoeuvre 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.

4.2.3 Daylight and night colour schemes

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

environment. Use the daylight and night colour schemes accordingly. Daylight

colours are similar to paper roadmaps, while the night colour schemes use dark tints

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