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 chance that Lock-on-Road may choose the wrong street).

Selected Map Point(Cursor)

If you touch anywhere on the map or se- lect a specific item in Find, it will become the selected point on the map, marked with a small red dot and permanently radiating red circles to make it obvious at all zoom levels, even when it is in the background 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 arrow. 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 later. 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 Coor- dinates.

Visible POIs (Points of Interest)

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 subcat- 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 recognise the symbol, and semi-transparent so as 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 appear.

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 and 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, touch the blue ’i’ icon on the right. If you have too
