Your navigation system is comprised of two main features, destination mode and map mode.
Map Mode
Map mode shows advanced viewing comprised of 2D city maps, 3D landmarks and 3D city models when available. 2D city maps show detailed outlines of buildings, visible land use, landscape features, and detailed railroad infrastructure for the most essential cities around the globe.
3D landmarks appear as clear, visible objects that are typically recognizable and have a certain tourism value.
3D city models are complete 3D models of entire city areas including navigable roads, parks, rivers and rendered buildings. 3D landmarks and city models appear in 3D map mode only. Coverage of these varies and improves with updated map releases.

Select the zoom out icon to see a farther away view of the map. You can adjust the view in preset increments. You can also pinch to zoom in or out of the map. The information bar tells you the names of streets, cities or landmarks as you hover over them with the crosshair curser. You can change your view of the map by tapping on the location indicator icon on the right-hand side of the screen. You can choose from the following options: |
