2.4.3.6	 Elements	of	the	active	route	
The navigation system shows the route in the following way:
Symbol NameDescription
Current car position 
markerIf there is a road close by, a blue-colored 
arrow symbol moves to the road which is the 
closest.
The red mark present around a blue-colored 
arrow symbol indicates the correct GPS 
information. It may be indicated away from 
the road because there is no existing road 
information.
Waypoint 
(intermediate 
destination) An intermediate destination of the route 
before reaching the final destination. 
Destination (end 
point) 
The final destination of the route. 
Route color The route always stands out with its color on  the map, both in daytime and in nighttime 
mode.
Streets and roads 
that are excluded 
from the navigation You can choose whether you want to use or 
avoid certain road types (page 80). However, 
when the navigation system cannot avoid 
such roads, the route will include them and 
it will show them in a color that is different 
from the route color.
Streets and roads 
that are affected by 
traffic events  Road segments may be affected by traffic 
events received. These streets and roads are 
displayed in an alternate color, and small 
symbols displayed along the route show the 
type of traffic event.
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.

5	 Glossary
Active	route	
The currently navigated route. Whenever a destination is set, the route is active until 
you delete it or reach your destination. See also: Route.
City	Center
The city center is not the geometric center of the city but an arbitrary point the 
map creators have chosen. In cities and villages, it is usually the most important 
intersection; in larger cities, it is one of the important intersections. 
Color	theme	
The navigation system has different color themes for daytime and nighttime which 
can be selected as desired.
One daytime scheme and one nighttime scheme is always selected for the map and 
for the menus.
The navigation system uses them when it switches from day to night and back.
GPS	accuracy	
Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position and the one 
given by the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting 
objects near the GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately 
the GPS device can calculate your position. 
Map	
The navigation system works with digital maps which are not simply the 
computerized versions of traditional paper maps. Similarly to paper road maps, the 
2D mode of digital maps show you streets, roads, and elevation by colors.
In 3D mode, you can see the altitude differences, for example valleys and 
mountains, elevated roads, and in selected cities 3D landmarks and 3D buildings are 
also displayed. 
You can use digital maps interactively: you can zoom in and out (increase or 
decrease the scale), you can tilt them up and down, and rotate them left and right. In 
GPS-supported navigation, digital maps facilitate route planning. 
North-up
	map	orientation
In North-up mode the map is rotated so its top always faces North.  This is the 
orientation for example in Find on Map. 
Road
	Safety	Camera	
This function is not available in some countries and regions.
Special alert points for speed, red light or bus lane cameras. Dif ferent data sources 
are available. You can configure the navigation system to warn you when you 
approach one of these cameras. 
Detecting the location of Road Safety Cameras is prohibited in certain countries. 
It is the sole responsibility of the driver to check whether this feature can be used 
during the trip. 
The software is capable of showing and warning for more than just cameras.  V
arious 
other types of proximity alert points like school zones and railway crossings are also 
available. 
Route
	
A sequence of maneuvers (for example, turns and roundabouts) to reach the 
destination. The route contains one start point and one or more destinations.
T
rack-up
	map	orientation	
In Track-up mode the map is rotated so its top always points in the current driving 
direction. 
This is the default orientation in 3D map view mode. 
Vehicle
	marker
The current position is indicated by a blue arrow on the map. The direction the blue 
arrow is pointed indicates the current heading.
