In navigation, the shifting of the position on the map is
alligned to the shifting of the position on the elevation
profile graph.
The double view “map + elevations”, which enables to
see in the same screen both the elevations graph and the
position on the map can be displayed.
The profile can be viewed thanks to zoom and pan functions: select a point on the
graph to get distance, height and inclination data.
With a simple touch it is possibile to switch from a point on the map to a point on the
graph or to maintain both the visualizations.
NAVIGATE WITH ELEVATIONS:

06 ON THE BIKE
YES Once turned on, the device will ask to select one of the profiles available. Each
profile represents a set of pre-defined settings, which are characterized by different
information/functionalities dispalyed on the map and in the software.
The pre-defined profiles are:
• BIKE WITH ANT+ SENSORS (recommended for bike training which use the VDO
bike navigator combined to HR/speed/cadence sensors)
• BIKE WITH GPS INPUT (recommended for bike training which use the VDO bike
navigator without sensors)
• OUTDOOR HIKING (recommended for hiking)
• OUTDOOR HIKING WITH PULSE (recommended for hiking with HR sensor)
• STREET (recommended when the device is used as a street navigator)
The software is easily configurable and personal profiles can be created and saved
by the user. For further information on profile settings read also the software manual.
At software start up, when more maps are installed in the memory card, it will be
required which map has to be loaded before selecting the profile.
