Uniden GNS8360 GPS Receiver User Manual


 
Note: Using the Advanced settings, you can force Cockpit mode to always start in 3D
Track-up view (Page ). You can still rotate and tilt the maps in either mode, but the
next time you enter this screen, the preset look will reappear.
Note: Similarly you can force Map mode to always start in 2D North-up view.
4.4.2 Zoom levels
iGO uses high quality vector maps that let you see the map at various zoom levels,
always with optimised content (the density of the map details can be independently
set for Map and Cockpit screens in Map settings (Page )). Street names and other
text objects are always displayed with the same font size, never upside down, and
you only see as many streets and objects as needed to find your way around the
map. Zoom in and out to see how the map changes in either the 2D or 3D view.

Changing the scale of the map is very easy. You can drag and stretch the scale
(Page ) at the bottom of the Map screen, or use the zoom icons (Page 31 30) on both
Map and Cockpit screens.
Note: If you need to zoom out briefly to locate your position on the map, use the
Overview mode instead of zooming out and back in. The Overview mode is a 2D
North-up view that can be started by tapping the compass button on the right (Page
32).
Note: iGO has a special Smart Zoom function for navigation that automatically
rotates, scales and tilts the map in 3D map mode to always give you the optimal view
in your current situation. When approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view
angle to let you easily recognise your manoeuvre at the next junction. If the next turn
is at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to flat in order to let you
see the road in front of you.
4.4.3 Daylight and night colour schemes
The different colour schemes let you adjust iGO to the brightness of the environment.
Use the daylight and night colour schemes accordingly. Daylight colours are similar
to paper roadmaps, while the night colour schemes use dark tints for large objects to
keep the average brightness of the screen low, with carefully selected colours to still
keep you informed about all the necessary information on the screen.
