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 or a 2D map with north always at the top of the map, change the 2D and 3D default settings.

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

You can move two fingers up and down the screen to adjust the 3D viewing angle.

Tip: When you have planned a route and the 3D guidance view is shown, select the switch view button to change to the map view and use the interactive features.
