Escape (TM2), enUSA, First Printing MyFord Touch
™
(If Equipped)

2D city maps show detailed outlines of
buildings, visible land use and land
elements and detailed railway
infrastructure for the most essential cities
around the globe. These maps also contain
features, such as town blocks, building
footprints and railways.
3D landmarks appear as clear, visible
objects that are typically recognizable and
have a certain tourist value. The 3D
landmarks appear in 3D map mode only.
Coverage varies and improves with
updated map releases.
Change the appearance of the map display
by repeatedly pressing the arrow button in
the upper left corner of the screen. It
toggles between three different map
modes: Heading up, North up and 3D.
Heading up (2D map) always
shows the direction of forward
travel to be upward on the screen.
This view is available for map
scales up to 2.5 miles (4 kilometers). The
system remembers this setting for larger
map scales, but shows the map in North
up only. If the scale returns below this level,
the system restores Heading up. North up (2D map) always shows
the northern direction to be
upward on the screen. 3D map mode
provides an
elevated perspective of the map.
This viewing angle can be adjusted
and the map can be rotated 180
degrees by touching the map twice, and
then dragging your finger along the shaded
bar with arrows at the bottom of the map.
View

list and exit view in route guidance.
Menu

direct access to navigation settings,
View/Edit Route, SIRIUS Travel Link,

illuminates, the feature is on. The speaker
button appears on the map only when
route guidance is active. Re-center the map by pressing
this icon whenever you scroll the
map away from your vehicle
’s
current location.

then select the + or - zoom button to bring
up the zoom level and Auto buttons on the
touchscreen. When you press
Auto, Auto
Zoom turns on and Auto displays in the
bottom left corner of the screen in the map
scale. The map zoom level then
synchronizes with vehicle speed. The
slower your vehicle is traveling, the farther
the map zooms in; the faster your vehicle
is traveling, the farther the map zooms out.
To switch off the feature, just press the
+
or - button again.
In 3D mode, rotate the map view by
swiping your finger across the shaded bar
with the arrows.
