You can also view a full turn-by-turn list for your entire route. Zoom your map view between 1/32 mile and 350 mile views to get the display that’s best for you at the time. You can also select day or night mode or have it automatically switch depending on whether your headlights are on or off, so you get the best view whether it’s day or night. Smart City Maps (available in 37 major cities) also provide landmark icons and building icons at a glance, so it’s easier for you to find specific locations. Freeway Junction allows you to zoom in to freeway interchanges. With a close up view, you can see how many exit lanes there are and determine which lane you need to use.
