Changing the Map Display
This Help topic describes the steps necessary to change the map colors, to change the map magnification, and to
change the data zoom level at which large POI symbols display on the map.
To Change the Map Colors
Often when using a laptop computer while traveling, it is difficult to see the map display on your screen. This can be
especially true at nighttime or on a bright sunny day. Changing your default (street) map colors to high-contrast map
colors can make your map display easier to see.
Use the following steps to change the map display.
1.
Click the
Map Display
tab and then click
Display
to display the Map Display options.
2.
From the Map Colors drop-down list, select
High-Contrast Colors
to change your map display to be
darker (for improved in-vehicle visibility). Select
Default Colors
to change it back to the standard display.
To Change the Map Magnification
Use the following steps to change the map magnification.
1.
Click the
Map Display
tab and then click
Display
to display the Map Display options.
2.
Select a magnification percentage (
50%
,
75%
,
100%
,
150%
, or
200%
) from the Magnification drop-
down list.
Note
: Although the size of the image changes, the degree of geographic detail does not.
To Change the Data Zoom Level for Large POI Symbols
Use the following steps to change the data zoom level at which large POI symbols are displayed on the map.
1.
