You need not choose between the two modes. HP iPAQ Trip Guide will use the one best for the current tilt and zoom level. Zoom in to have only a few streets on the map, and start tilting up and down to see how HP iPAQ Trip Guide switches between the two modes in an instant. Note: The automatic switching is on even when using Smart Zoom. At first you may find it odd, but later you will discover how it adjusts the displayed information to the current view of the map. It is important, as the driver must be able to read the map at a glance. Tip: If you do not want to be bothered by street names during navigation, turn them off in Map Options (Page 83). Tip: Major roads usually have alternative names (numbering) besides the primary name. You can choose whether to display these alternative names or not. You can set this in Map Options (Page 82). Other objects To help orientate you, the map also contains objects that have no other navigating function than to help you recognise your location on the map. These are surfacewaters, large buildings, forests, etc. Tip: These objects are normally displayed using textured polygons that look natural to the eye. You may wish to switch the textured display off (Page 83) to free some of the resources of your PDA by replacing textures with plain coloured surfaces. 28
