5.6.1 Display options
These settings determine how Uniden Navigation displays different content elements
or how it presents the screens.
5.6.1.1 2D in Map mode (and North-up orientation)
The normal use of the Map mode is to browse the map and look for different places
on it. It is usually done in a top down view having north towards the top of the map. By
default Uniden Navigation uses the same look for the map in both Map and Cockpit
modes. Use this switch to instruct Uniden Navigation to always open the Map mode
in 2D with North-up orientation for map browsing purposes.
Note: You will still have the possibility to rotate and tilt the map, but the map will return
to 2D mode whenever Map mode is started.
5.6.1.2 3D in Cockpit mode (and track-up orientation)
The normal use of the Cockpit mode is cruising or navigating, when the road lying in
front of the driver is the most important part of the map. It is usually done in a 3D view
with the current direction towards the top of the map. By default Uniden Navigation
uses the same look of the map in both Map and Cockpit modes.
Use this switch to instruct Uniden Navigation to always open the Cockpit mode in 3D
with Track-up orientation (automatic map rotation) for driving purposes.
Note: You will still have the possibility to switch the map to 2D view or north-up
orientation, but the map will return to 3D mode with map rotation whenever Cockpit
mode is started.
5.6.1.3 Zoom in after nd
When this switch is turned off, Uniden Navigation will centre the map to the location
selected in Find but will not change the zoom level. If you turn this switch on, Uniden
Navigation will also zoom in to the selected point.
The zoom level in this case depends on the type of object you have searched for. For
example in the case of a city search, the zoom level will show you the whole settlement
or at least a signicant part of it around its centre. Selecting a POI, a junction or an
exact address will give you a closer look with only a few streets on the display.
