And, of course, you can harness TomTom GO's computer power to search for things, such as a list of specific Points Of Interest, sorted in order of ascending distance from a given location. Here are the main elements of TomTom GO's map Note that only a 'blocky' preview map is shown while you're changing the zoom level. The moment you lift your finger, the map is drawn properly in full detail. 4. 3 The cursor The cursor is your most valuable tool in TomTom GO's map browser. Just tap on any spot on the map to place the cursor there. The nearest road segment is automatically highlighted in green and labelled, together with start and finish house numbers on each side of the road (if relevant). 4. Browsing the TomTom GO Maps You'll have noticed 'Map' buttons on each route summary screen, as well as 'Browse map' as an option on the main menu. TomTom GO's digital maps form the basis of everything the product can do and this chapter explains how to explore them, setting up destinations, locating Points Of Interest and adding favourites along the way. 4. 1 The digital map Tap on 'Browse map' now, to get started in the map browser. TomTom GO's map view is oriented in the same way as a paper map, i. e. with north 'upwards', and shows the usual cities, towns, major roads, streets, railway lines, rivers and lakes. Unlike a paper map, you can zoom in and out and vary the amount of detail shown. These will appear according to your own preferences, see section 5. 10. 4. 2 Scrolling and scaling You can scroll around a map by simply holding your finger to the display and sliding it in any direction. The part of the map around your finger is scrolled immediately; as soon as you lift your finger, the rest is filled in automatically. When a new map appears on the screen, it will usually be scaled for you, perhaps to encompass a recently-calculated route or to show details of a particular junction, but you can adjust the scale easily using the 'zoom bar'. Press your finger on the zoom bar's handle and slide it up and down slowly. The map will be continuously zoomed in (when sliding down) and out (when sliding up) around the current cursor position. If you'd like the cursor position to be reset to be the same as your calculated GPS position, tap on the GPS button . 4. 4 Cursor functions You can do things with the current cursor position by tapping on the cursor button . Tap on 'Navigate there' to plan a route from your current GPS position to the cursor position. The route summary and options are exactly the same as in section 3. 1.
