2.4.2	 Position	markers	
2.4.2.1	 Selected	map	location	(Cursor)	and	selected	map	object	
You can mark a map location in the following ways: 
•
 Select the map during route guidance.
•
 Select the map when asked so that the destination can be confirmed after the 
search is completed.
•
 Select the destination from the map. (page 54)
When a map location is selected, the Cursor appears at the selected point on the 
map. A symbol 
 with a combined crosshair and red circle is displayed for easy 
visibility of any map scale size.
The location of the Cursor can be used as the destination of the route.  
You can search for a POI (point of interest), or you can save it as one of your 
Favorites destinations.
You can also select some of the objects on the map. If you select the map at the icon 
of a POI (point of interest) or a traffic event, the object will be selected.  You can 
then get information about this object or use it as a route point.
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.

	on	the	map

a small street.

2.4.3.2	 Turn
	preview	and	Next	street	
When navigating a route, the top section of the Map screen shows information about 
the next maneuver, street or city.
There is an area at the top left part of screen which indicates the next operation. 
Displays both the event type (such as turning, detouring, exiting expressways) and 
the distance from the current position.
When the next event approaches, the second event is displayed using a small icon. If 
there is no second event, only the next event is displayed.
Most of these icons are very intuitive. The same symbols are used in both fields:

Turn right. 
Turn back. 
Bear right. 
Turn sharp left. 
Keep left. 
Continue straight in the intersection.

2.4.3.3	 Lane
	information	and	Signposts	
When navigating on multilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane 
in order to follow the recommended route. If lane information is available in 
the map data, the navigation system displays the lanes and their directions using 
small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lanes and 
direction you need to take.
Lane guidance is provided constantly if there is map information. Signposts are 
displayed at the top of the map. The color and style of the signposts are similar 
to the real ones you see above road or by the roadside. They show the available 
destinations and the number of the road the lane leads to.
When navigating a route, only the signpost that points to the lane(s) to be taken is 
displayed in bright colors; all others are darker
. All signposts and lane guidance 
arrows are displayed in vivid colors while driving (when there is no recommended 
route).
If you want to hide the currently displayed signposts, touch anywhere and the 
normal Map screen returns until new signpost information is received.

, or 
the other which displays the next expressway exit only when the menu panel is
