To move on the map, drag the map. The map is oriented towards north by default.
When you have an active connection and browse the map on the display, a new map is
automatically downloaded if you scroll to an area which is not covered by maps already
downloaded. The maps are automatically saved in the device memory or on a
compatible memory card (if inserted).
To zoom in and out on the map, select + and -.
Display indicators
The GPS indicator shows the availability and strength of the satellite signal.
One bar is one satellite. When the device tries to find a satellite, the bar is yellow. When
the device receives enough data from the satellite to establish a GPS connection, the
bar turns green. The more green bars, the stronger the GPS connection.
Initially, your device must receive signals from at least four satellites to calculate the
coordinates of your location. After the initial calculation, signals from three satellites
may be enough.
The data transfer indicator
shows the internet connection used and the
amount of data transferred since the application started.
