When entering a tunnel, the map is replaced with a generic tunnel image. See page 18.
2.3.1 Streets and roads
VX7020A shows the streets similarly to paper road maps. Their width and colorscorrespond to their
importance; you can easily tell a freeway from a small street.
2.3.2 GPS position markers
When your GPS position is available, the VX7020A marks your current position. By default, this marker
is a blue arrow. The dot near the arrow shows the GPS position as perceived by the GPS
receiver.
The exact location of the current position marker depends on the vehicle type used for route calculation
and the navigation mode. Both can be set in Route preferences (page 74).
•If you choose pedestrian and/or off-road navigation, the position marker is at your exact GPS
position. The direction of the icon shows your current heading.
14

•In all other cases, the position marker may not show your exact GPS position and heading. If roads
are near, the GPS position is locked on the road and aligned to the nearest road to suppress GPS
position errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of the road.
2.3.3 The planned route
The planned route is the currently navigated route. Whenever the destination is set, the route is active
until you delete it, reach your destination or suspend navigation. The VX7020A displays the route in the
following ways:
Symbol
Name
Description
Current GPS position
and starting point It is your current position displayed on the map.
•In pedestrian mode it is the GPS position.
•If a vehicle is selected for route calculation and roads are near,
the arrow jumps to the nearest road.
•The dot near the arrow shows the exact GPS position.
Normally, if GPS position is available, the route starts from the current
position. If there is no valid GPS position, the VX7020A uses the last
known position as the starting point.
Waypoint (intermediate
destination)
It is an intermediate destination of the route before reaching the final
destination.
Destination (end point) It is the final destination of the route.
Route color
The route always stands out with its color
on the map, both in daytime
and night color modes.
Streets and roads that
are excluded from the
navigation
You can choose whether you want to use or avoid certain road types
(page 74). However, when the VX7020A cannot avoid such roads,
the route includes them and shows them in a color that is different
from the route color.
15

2.3.4 Turn preview and next street
When navigating a route, the top section of the Navigation view shows information about the next route
event (maneuver) and the next street or the next town.
There is a field in the top left corner displaying the next maneuver. Both the type of the maneuver (turn,
traffic circle, exiting freeway, and so on) and its distance from the current position are displayed.
A smaller icon shows the type of the second next maneuver if it is near the first one. Otherwise, only the
next maneuver is displayed. Tap the icon of the actual maneuver to open the Itinerary screen.

2.3.6 Lane information and signposts
When navigating on multi-lane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the
planned route. If lane information is available in the map data, the VX7020A displays the lanes and
their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lanes and
the direction you need to take.
Where additional information is available, arrows are replaced by signposts. Signposts are displayed at
the top of the map. The color and style of the signposts are similar to the real ones you can see above
roads or by roadsides. They show the available destinations and the road numbers.
All signposts look similar when cruising (when there is no planned route). During navigation only the
signpost that points to the lane(s) to be taken is highlighted; all the others are darker.
If you want to hide the currently displayed signposts, tap any of them and the normal Navigation view
returns until new signpost information is received.
You can modify the signpost settings in (page 81).
