1.3 Navigation view
The navigation view is the main screen of Z-EMAP50 that shows the planned route on a map.
Z-EMAP50 works with digital maps which are not simply the computerised versions of
traditional paper maps. Similarly to paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps shows you
streets and roads. Elevation is also illustrated in colour.
The navigation view displays the following screen buttons, data fields, and route information
on the map during navigation:
Note!
Some buttons, fields, or icons may not be available in your product version.

13
Number

Tap this area to access the Tri
p Computer screen with
additional information about the current trip on a dashboard.
You can change the default values in Settings (page 71) or by
tapping and holding the area where the data fields appear.
If you have not selected a destination, you can see your

exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. See page 18.
1.3.1 Streets and roads
Z-EMAP50 shows the streets similarly to paper road maps. Their width and colours
correspond to their importance; you can easily tell a motorway from a small street.
1.3.2 GPS position markers
When your GPS position is available, Z-EMAP50 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.
When on-road navigation is selected, the current position marker may not show your exact
GPS position and heading. If roads are near, it is aligned to the nearest road to eliminate GPS
position errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of the road.
If you select off-road navigation, the current position marker is at your exact GPS position.
The direction of the icon shows your current heading.

15
1.3.3 Turn preview and next street
When navigating a route, the top section of the Navigation view shows information about the
next route event (manoeuvre) and the next street or the next town.
There is a field in the top left corner displaying the next manoeuvre. Both the type of the
manoeuvre (turn, roundabout, exiting motorway, and so on) and its distance from the current
position are displayed.
A smaller icon shows the type of the second next manoeuvre if it is near the first one.
Otherwise, only the next manoeuvre is displayed. Tap the icon of the actual manoeuvre to
open the Itinerary screen.
1.3.4 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. Z-EMAP50 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.
•If a vehicle is selected for route calculation and
roads are near, the arrow jumps to the nearest
road.
•Normally, if GPS position is available, the route
starts from the current position. If there is no valid
GPS position, Z-EMAP50 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 colour
The route always stands out with its colour on the map,
both in daytime and night colour modes.

16
Streets and roads
that are excluded
from the navigation
You can choose whether you want to use or avoid certain
road types (page 67). However, when Z-EMAP50 cannot
avoid such roads, the route includes them and shows
them in a colour that is different from the route colour.
Streets and roads
that are affected by
traffic events
Road segments may be affected by traffic events. These
streets and roads are displayed in a different colour, and
small symbols displayed along the route show the type of
the traffic event.
1.3.5 Manoeuvre icons

manoeuvre icons are intuitive. The following table lists some of the frequently shown route
events:

Approaching a waypoint on the right.
Approaching the destination.
1.3.6 Lane information
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, Z-EMAP50 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.
1.3.7 Signposts
If necessary information is available, Z-EMAP50 displays signposts at the top of the map. The
colour 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 71).

18
1.3.8 Junction view
If you are approaching a motorway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information
exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. The lanes you need to take are
displayed with arrows. At the top of the screen, road signs show you additional information.
If you want to hide the currently displayed junction and return to the Navigation view, tap the
picture.
Junction view can be turned off in . See page 71.
1.3.9 Motorway services
When you are driving on a motorway, the button appears at the top right corner of the
Navigation view. Tap it to open a panel with the details of the next few service stations (petrol
stations, restaurants).
Tap any of them to display the exit area on the map. You can now easily add this service
station as a waypoint to your route if necessary.
If you want to display other types of Places at the next few service stations, you can change
the icons in . See page 71.
1.3.10 3D object types
Z-EMAP50 supports the following 3D object types:
Type
Description
3D terrain
Z-EMAP50 displays 3D hills and mountains in the Navigation view, and
illustrates them by colouring and shading on the 2D map.

19
Elevated roads

(such as overpasses or bridges) displayed in 3D.
3D landmarks Landmarks are 3D representations of prominent or well-known objects.
3D buildings
3D buildings are block representations of full town building data containing
actual building sizes and positions on the map.
1.3.11 Traffic events
Road segments affected by traffic events are displayed in a different colour on the map.
The following icons may appear at the top right corner of the screen:
