4.1 Concepts 

4.1.1 Smart Zoom 

Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature: 

• 

While following a route:

 when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view 

angle to let you easily recognize your maneuver at the next junction. If the next turn is at 
a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to be 

fl

 at so you can see the road in 

front of you.

• 

While driving without an active route:

 Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly and 

zoom out when you drive at high speed. 

4.1.2 Route calculation and recalculation 

The navigation system calculates the route based on your preferences: 

•  Route planning methods: 

• 

 : Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed limit on all 

roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars. 

• 

 : Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes. 

It can be practical for slow vehicles.  

• 

 : For vehicle types where Green routing is not available, this 

method combines the bene

fi

 ts of Fast and Short: the navigation system 

calculates as if it were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads as well 
to save fuel. 

• 

 : Results in a route with fewer turns and no dif

fi

 cult maneuvers. With this 

option, you can make the navigation system take, for example, the highway/
freeway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets. 

•  Road types used or avoided in route calculation: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Whenever data exist, route calculation takes into account statistical traf

fi

 c data for the given 

day of week and time of day (page 57). 
Real-time Traf

fi

 c events are also taken into account and sometimes greatly modify the route. 

The navigation system automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed 
itinerary or if a newly received Traf

fi

 c event concerns a part of the recommended route.
