The application can be used in 4 different modes:
- Default: The default state after you launch the application. The map is locked onto your GPS position.
- Free drive: The app mode when you haven’t set any route, but your vehicle is moving above a certain speed. The map is locked onto your GPS position. The search bar and sound and zoom controls are hidden after 3 seconds of inactivity. Tap anywhere on the screen to show them again.
- Browse: Swipe the map to explore it (swipe, rotate, zoom in and out, or select places on the map). You can enter the browse mode from all the other app modes. To go back, tap Re-center or let the app lock the map view back onto your current position after several seconds of inactivity.
- Navigation: When the app is navigating you based on a calculated route. The map is locked onto your GPS position. There is a signpost panel with turn instructions, a widget with places along the route for easy access, and sometimes warnings and lane guidance may appear. The name of the current street, nearest city, or road number is below the indicator of your current position. The bottom panel provides more information about the route, such as ETA, remaining time and distance, and a progress bar.
