2.4.7 Track Logs Nextar Navigation System can log the track that you drive (page 40). A Track Log is a recording of how your GPS position changed and it is independent of the route Nextar Navigation System calculated. Track Logs can be recorded, renamed, replayed, shown on the map, exported to a memory card in GPX format, and deleted. See page 69. Independently of the normal track log, you can instruct Nextar Navigation System to record the native GPS data received from the GPS device. These logs are saved as separate text files on the memory card, and they cannot be shown or replayed in Nextar Navigation System. To turn on NMEA/SIRF log saving, tap the following buttons: , , , . 2.4.8 Route demonstration A simulation drives you through the route, following the driving instructions (page 38). You can choose from a simulation at high speed or at normal driving speed. You can use it, for example, to see which bridge Nextar Navigation System planned for the route; if you do not want to take that bridge, you can avoid it. Route demonstrations can be started from the Route menu by tapping the (high speed simulation) or the (simulation at normal speed) button. 2.4.9 POI (Points of Interest) A point of interest (POI) is a location that someone might find useful or interesting. Nextar Navigation System is delivered with thousands of POIs and you can also create your own POIs in the application. POI locations are marked on the map with special icons. POI icons are quite large so you can easily recognize the symbol. The icons are also semi-transparent: they do not cover the streets and intersections behind them. POIs are grouped into several levels of categories and subcategories. The icon of a POI that comes with the map shows the symbol of the POI category. If you save your own POI, you can select an icon for it independently of the POI category you have put it in.

2.4.7 Track Logs
Nextar Navigation System can log the track that you drive (page 40).
A Track Log is a recording of how your GPS position changed and it is independent of the
route Nextar Navigation System calculated.
Track Logs can be recorded, renamed, replayed, shown on the map, exported to a memory
card in GPX format, and deleted. See page 69.
Independently of the normal track log, you can instruct Nextar Navigation System to record
the native GPS data received from the GPS device. These logs are saved as separate text
files on the memory card, and they cannot be shown or replayed in Nextar Navigation System.
To turn on NMEA/SIRF log saving, tap the following buttons:

2.4.8 Route demonstration
A simulation drives you through the route, following the driving instructions (page 38). You
can choose from a simulation at high speed or at normal driving speed.
You can use it, for example, to see which bridge Nextar Navigation System planned for the
route; if you do not want to take that bridge, you can avoid it.
Route demonstrations can be started from the Route menu by tapping the
(high speed simulation) or the
(simulation at normal speed) button.
2.4.9 POI (Points of Interest)
A point of interest (POI) is a location that someone might find useful or interesting. Nextar
Navigation System is delivered with thousands of POIs and you can also create your own
POIs in the application.
POI locations are marked on the map with special icons. POI icons are quite large so you can
easily recognize the symbol. The icons are also semi-transparent: they do not cover the
streets and intersections behind them.
POIs are grouped into several levels of categories and subcategories. The icon of a POI that
comes with the map shows the symbol of the POI category. If you save your own POI, you
can select an icon for it independently of the POI category you have put it in.
Saving POIs
To save a POI, place the Cursor (
