2D and 3D Map Views

Besides the classical top down view of the map (called 2D mode), you have the pos- sibility to tilt the map to have a perspective view (3D mode) that gives a view similar to that seen through the windscreen with the possibility to see far ahead.

It is easy to change between 2D and 3D modes. You have two options. You can use the Tilt up and down buttons to tilt the map seamlessly between 2D and all 3D angles, or you can use the switch in the Quick menu to quickly switch between the two modes.

NOTE: You may find that 2D mode is more useful in North-up Map mode when looking for a certain part of the map or an object to select as destination. On the other hand, 3D mode in Track-up Cockpit mode with Smart Zoom makes navigation very com- fortable. The description of these modes will come later in this manual.

NOTE: Using the Advanced settings, you can force Cockpit mode to always start in 3D Track-up view. You can still rotate and tilt the maps in either mode, but the next time you enter this screen, the preset look will reappear. Similarly you can force Map mode to always start in 2D North-up view.

Zoom Levels

Cydle 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. Street names and other text ob- jects 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 ei- ther the 2D or 3D view.

Changing the Scale of the Map

You can drag and stretch the scale at the bottom of the Map screen, or use the zoom icons 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 tap- ping the compass button on the right.

NOTE: Cydle 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 approach- ing a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view- ing angle to let you easily recognise your maneuver 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.

Daylight and Night Color Schemes

The different color schemes let you adjust Cydle to the brightness of the environment. Use the daylight and night color schemes accordingly. Daylight colors are similar to paper roadmaps, while the night color schemes use dark tints for large objects to keep the average brightness of the screen low, with carefully selected colors to still keep you informed about all the necessary information on the screen.

You can change between day and night views manually in the Quick Menu or let Cydle do it automatically for you.

NOTE: The automatic day/night mode is based upon the current date and GPS po- sition by which Cydle calculates the exact sunrise and sunset times on the particular day at the particular location. Using that information Cydle can automatically switch between the color schemes a few minutes before sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sun- set before it gets dark.

TIP: There are several daytime and night color schemes included with Cydle. To se- lect the one that suits your needs the best, make your selection in Settings.

TIP: To further enhance the effect of the night color scheme, you can instruct Cydle
