4.1.1 Smart Zoom
Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:
•
While following a route: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the
view angle to let you easily recognize your maneuver at the next junction. If the
next turn is at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to be flat so
you can see the road in front of you.
•
While driving without an active route: Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive
slowly and zoom out when you drive at high speed.
•
Off: Turns the Smart Zoom setting of

4.1.2 Route
calculation and recalculation
The navigation system calculates the route based on your preferences:
•
Route planning methods: •
: Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed limit
on all roads.
•
: Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible
routes.
•
: This method combines the merits of the Fast and Short
routes: The navigation system makes a calculation for the Fast route,
but it also includes other roads in the calculation in consideration of fuel
economy.
•
: Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult maneuvers.
With this option, you can make the navigation system take, for example,
the highway/freeway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.

Whenever data exist, route calculation takes into account historical traffic data for
the given day of week and time of day (page 78).
If the setting for Traffic Settings is valid, Real-time Traffic events are taken into
account and the route is largely modified.
The navigation system automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from
the proposed itinerary or if a newly received Traffic event concerns a part of the
recommended route.
For further information about Route Settings see page 82.
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.
