NAVIGATION

Your navigation system is comprised of two
main features, destination mode and map
mode.

Map Mode

Map mode shows advanced viewing
comprised of 2D city maps, 3D landmarks
and 3D city models (when available). 2D city
maps show detailed outlines of buildings,
visible land use, landscape features, and
detailed railroad infrastructure for the most
essential cities around the globe.

3D landmarks appear as clear, visible objects
that are typically recognizable and have a
certain tourism value.

3D city models are complete 3D models of
entire city areas including navigable roads,
parks, rivers and rendered buildings. 3D
landmarks and city models appear in 3D map
mode only. Coverage of these varies and
improves with updated map releases.
