HP 314 manual Route line

When you open the screen, you will see all fields contain information on reaching your final destination. Tap any of the fields to see data on the Via points starting from the first one through the final destination again. You can see the following options on the screen:

●Route line

The upper part of this screen shows your planned route as a horizontal line. Its leftmost point is the start of the route, the rightmost one is the final destination, and you can see your Via point flags along the line, spaced in proportion to their distance.

The blue (yellow when using night colors) arrow representing your position travels from the left to the right, giving you visual feedback of your journey.

When you reach a Via point, it becomes the starting point of the route, the past is deleted. The line with all the other Via points are modified instantly, and the arrow jumps back to the left.

When the Travel Companion needs to recalculate the route, the arrow does not jump back to the left as when reaching a Via point. It might drift a bit as the length of the new route may be different from the previous one.

When the data corresponding to the entire route is displayed in the fields below, the line is colored the same way as the road type displayed on the map. When you see data that belongs to a Via point, the route is colored only up to that Via point. The rest of the line remains grey.

●Destination/Via point

This field shows the exact address (or its co-ordinates if the address is not available) of the final destination.

If Via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the address or co-ordinates of the first, second, etc. Via point.

●Estimated Arrival

This field shows the estimated arrival time at the final destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route. The calculation cannot take into account traffic jams and other possible delays.

If Via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the estimated arrival at the first, second, etc. Via point.

●Distance Left

This is the distance you need to travel on the route before reaching your final destination.

If Via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the distance to reach the first, second, or next Via point.

●Time Left

This field shows the time needed to reach the final destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route. The calculation cannot take into account traffic jams and other possible delays.

If Via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the time needed to reach the first, second Via point.

●Method

This field shows how the route was calculated. It either displays the ‘Route’ or the ‘Vehicle’ field from the Route settings. If you have chosen Car, Taxi, Bus, or Lorry, the type of the route (Fast, Short, or Economical) is displayed here; if you have selected Bicycle, this information is displayed here.
