turns grey and jumps to the last known
position, disabling Lock-on-Road (the
last position before losing the reception is
usually inaccurate, and there is a chanc e
that Lock-on-Road may choose the wrong
street).
Selected Map Point(Cur sor)
If you touch anywhere on the map or se-
lect a speciļ¬ c item in Find, it will become
the selected point on the map, marked with
a small red dot and permanently radia ting
red circles to make it obvious at all zoom
levels, even when it is in the backg round of
a 3D map view. You can use this point as
starting point, via point, or destination of
your route, you can search for a POI near to
it, mark it with a drawing-pin, or save it as
a POI. The cursor, when visible, is also the
reference point for map scaling.
NOTE: When your GPS position is available,
and Lock-to-Position is active, the cursor
is the current GPS position, the blue arr ow.
When you select another point by tapping
the map, or using the Find menu, the new
Cursor is shown on the display with the red
dot and the radiating red circles.
Marked Map Points (Pin)
The Cursor can be marked with a Pin. Pins
are shown as being stuck in the map. A Pin
is visible at all zoom levels and remains in
its position until you unpin it, or delete all
Pins in Advanced settings.
The color of the Pin is automatically se-
lected by Cydle. Different colors help you
identify a Pin in the History list late r. There
they are shown together with their address
and GPS Coordinates.
TIP: There is a quick way to save the current
GPS position as a Pin. Press the Record
button (hardware button with an audio cas-
sette icon on it) to save the Pin instantly
TIP: A quick way to tell the coordinates of
a location you found on the map is to Pin
it, and then look for the coordinates in the
History list.This way you also save the co-
ordinates with the Pin for later reference.
If you do not need the coordinates later,
just select the point and start Find C oor-
dinates.
Visible POIs (Points of I nterest)
Cydle comes with thousands of built-in
POIs, and you can create your own POI
database as well. Having all of them dis-
played on the map would make the map
too crowded. To avoid this, Cydle lets you
select which POIs to show and which ones
to hide using their categories and subc at-
egories.
POIs are represented by icons on the map.
For a built-in POI it is the icon of the sub-
category of the actual POI. For points you
create, it is the icon you had chosen when
you created the POI (it can be changed
later).
These icons are large enough to recogn ise
the symbol, and semi-transparent so a s
not to cover the streets and junctions be-
hind them.
When the map is zoomed out, the icons are
not shown. As you zoom in, small dots ap-
pear at the locations of visible POIs. Zoom -
ing in further makes the full icons app ear.
If two points are too close to each other
so that icons overlap, a multi-POI icon is
shown instead of individual ones. Zoom in
more to see them separately. (Should the
two POIs have the same icon, this icon
will be displayed instead of the multi-POI
icon.)
NOTE: When navigating, POI icons can be
disabled together with street names . If you
still need this information during your jour-
ney, just drag the map to disable Lock-to-
Position. This will restore street names a nd
POI icons immediately. Now touch Lock to
reactivate Lock-to-Position.
TIP: Touch the map on or near a POI item to
see the list of the names of the nearest POIs
in a popup list, if it is enabled. To see the
details of a particular POI in the list, tou ch
the blue āiā icon on the right. If you have too
