Simulation - this feature has no navigation function, it merely provides a quick view of the route. It presents a simulation of the route showing what you might see later when navigating.
You can choose from two different kinds of simulations:
● Fly Over: The route is simulated with high speed.
● Simulate: The route is simulated with the speed identical to the speed limit on the streets and roads in the route.
Manage Track LogsUsing the Travel Companion it is also possible to save the track logs of your journeys. This screen lets you manage all your track logs. When it comes up, it shows a list of all track logs already saved.
The original name of a track log is the date and time when it was recorded. You can change the name to something more meaningful if you wish.
Each track log has a color, displayed to the left of its name, when the track log is visible on the map. If the track is not visible, a horizontal line is displayed. Tapping the line of the highlighted track log toggles between showing and hiding that log. The track log is drawn on the map using the color next to its name.
TIP: When a track log is being recorded, a new line is displayed in this list with a horizontal line, as newly recorded track logs are not displayed on the map normally.
On this screen you have the following options:
