The map screen is the second tile, reached by swiping left from the Main Screen.

IceNav supports two map types, selectable from Settings:

Type Preview Description
Rendered PNG tile-based map with street labels and full cartographic detail.
Vector Lightweight vector tile map, faster to render and lower in storage.

Widgets

Widget Description
Zoom level Current zoom level. Double-tap the map to show the toolbar and use the zoom buttons.
Zoom buttons + / − buttons to zoom in and out one level at a time. Appear when the toolbar is active.
North arrow Compass rose indicating north. Rotates with the GPS heading or the digital compass bearing, depending on the rotation mode selected in Settings.
Speed Current ground speed in Km/h from GPS.
Scale bar Distance scale bar for the current zoom level.
Menu Opens the main menu.

Interaction

  • Double-tap the map to toggle the toolbar (zoom buttons appear, tile swiping is disabled while the toolbar is visible).
  • Drag to pan freely. The map moves with inertia after releasing.
  • Zoom with the + / − buttons or with a two-finger pinch gesture.
  • Follow GPS — when the toolbar is dismissed, the map re-centres on the current position and resumes GPS tracking automatically.

Navigation

When a GPX route or a waypoint is loaded, navigation information is overlaid on the map. The route is drawn in blue over the map. A turn-by-turn widget shows the next manoeuvre icon and the distance to the next turn.
