Streets And Roads - HP 914c - iPAQ Business Messenger Smartphone Navigation Manual

Note: The colours mentioned and screenshots included in this manual refer to the
default daytime and night colour schemes. They may not look the same in the
schemes you have chosen.
Tip
: If you use HP iPAQ Trip Guide after sunrise or before sunset, look for the sun
in the sky in the map background using a flat 3D view. It is displayed at its actual
position to give you another way to orientate, and also to provide some eye
candy.

Streets and roads

The similarity of HP iPAQ Trip Guide to paper roadmaps is also convenient when it
comes to streets, the most important elements of the map concerning navigation. HP
iPAQ Trip Guide uses similar colour codes to those you are accustomed to, and the
width of the streets also refers to their importance, so it will not be difficult to tell a
highway from a small street.
Streets and roads have names or numbers for identification. Of course, this
information can be displayed on the map. HP iPAQ Trip Guide uses two different
ways to show street labels. The conventional way is the same as a roadmap – it
displays the name of the street aligned with the street. The alternative is a kind of
virtual signpost stuck into the street itself.
