The guidance view

The guidance view is used to guide you along the route to your destination. The guidance view is shown when you start driving. You see your current location and details along your route, including 3D buildings in some cities.

The guidance view is normally in 3D. To show a 2D map with the map moving in your direction of travel, change the 2D and 3D default settings.

When the navigation app starts after it was turned off and you have a route planned, you are shown the map view with your planned route.
