2.4.3.3 Lane informat
ion 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 displ ays the lanes and their directions using small arrows
at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lane s and direction you
need to take.
Lane guidance is provided consta ntly if there is map informatio n. Signposts are
displayed at the top of the map. The color and style of the sig nposts 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 l ane(s) to be taken is
displayed in bright colors; all others are darker. All signpost s 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 an ywhere and the normal
Map screen returns until new signpost information is received.

4.1.3 Road safety cameras and other proximity alert
points (Only some
countries and regions)
There is a special proximity warning for road safety cameras (l ike speed or red light
cameras) and other proximity alert points (like schools or railroad crossings).
The application can war n you when you approach road safety came ras like speed
cameras or dangerous ar eas like school zones or railroad crossi ngs. You can set up
the different alert types individually in Warning Settings (pag e81).
The following alert types are available:
• Audio warning: When approaching one of these points, a beep sound (regular sound) can be used or the type of warning can be announced (TTS ), and an extra
alert can warn you if you exceed t he given speed limit while approaching the point.
• Always: The type of the alert point, its distance, and the rel ated speed limit appear
on the Map screen while you are approaching one of these points .
For some of the alert points, the enforced or expected speed limit is available. For
these points, the audio alert can be different if you are below or above the given
speed limit.
Setting can be selected using Warning Settings:
• Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you ex ceed the given
speed limit.
• When approaching: The audio alert is always played when approa ching one of
these alert points. To draw you attention, the alert may differ if you exceed the
speed limit.
The warning for road s afety cameras is disabled when you are in a country where
road safety camera warn ing is prohibited. However, you must ens ure on your own
liability that using this feature is legal in the country where you intend to use it.

Map
The navigation system works with
digital maps which are not simply the
computerized versions of traditional paper maps. Similarly to p aper 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 v alleys and mountains,
elevated roads, and in selected cities 3D landmarks and 3D buil dings are also
displayed.
You can use digital maps inter actively: you can zoom in and out (increase or
decrease the scale), yo u can tilt them up and down, and rotate them left and right. In
GPS-supported navigation, digital maps facilitate route plannin g.
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. Different 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 Sa fety Cameras is prohibited in certain countries. It is
the sole responsibility of the dr iver to check whether this feature can be used during
the trip.
The software is capable of showing and warning for more than ju st cameras. Various
other types of proximity alert points like school zones and rai lway crossings are also
available.
Route
A sequence of maneuvers (for ex ample, turns and roundabouts) to reach the
destination. The route contains o ne start point and one or more destinations.
Track-up map orientation
In Track-up mode the map is rota ted 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. T he direction the blue
arrow is pointed indicat es the current heading.
