Use the left and right hardware buttons to turn your map in the direction you wish.
This will immediately turn off the automatic rotation. A small compass in the top right
section of the map screens (Page ) will always show the current direction of the
map. Map orientation should not be mixed up with Screen orientation.

North-up: A kind of map orientation having the map rotated to have North toward
the top of the screen. See also Track-up and Map Orientation.
POI: Points Of Interest, exact map locations of important points saved in a database
together with their name, category and subcategories (e.g. Service/Fuel/Autogas),
address, phone and fax number, and other important information. Use the versatile
search system in V7 Navigation to find the appropriate POI near you, your
destination or any other given location on the map (Page ). You can also have
your favorite places saved as ‘Favorites’ in
73
V7 Navigation.
Track log: In V7 Navigation you have the possibility to record your journeys using
the position data your GPS provides in every second or every few seconds
(depending on your GPS settings). When you start the recording, position data are
saved in the database until you stop recording it. This set of sequential GPS
positions is called track log. Each set of consecutive positions has a name (originally
it is the time of recording but you can change it to any name you like) and a color in
which it can be displayed on the map. Later you can replay the journey on the screen
of V7 Navigation as if it were happening again. This is good for demonstration
purposes or for analyzing your maneuvers during the trip. See also Page . 58
Track-up: A kind of map orientation when the map is rotated to look always in the
direction of your heading. See also North-up and Map Orientation.
Via point: Routes in V7 Navigation can have several (as many as you want)
different destinations to reach in a specific order. All these points except the final
destination are called via points, as the route goes ‘via’ (through) them. Each via
point is announced by the voice instructions as you approach and when you reach it.
Should your via point serve as a stopover, navigation continues automatically as you
depart. Navigation will resume even if you turn off and on your device or restart V7
Navigation.
Zoom In and Out: The Zoom function is used to change the scale of the map. Use
Zoom In to scale down the map to see less of it but in more detail, and use Zoom
Out to scale the map up to have a broader view of that part of the map with fewer
details. See also Page . 16
