1 Warnings and safety information
N.I.C.E 430 is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected
destination. It will determine your exact location with the help of an attached GPS
device. The position information obtained from the GPS receiver will not be
transmitted anywhere, so others will not be able to track you by the help of this
program.
If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate N.I.C.E 430
before beginning your journey. The driver’s attention should be on the road. Plan
your route before departure and pull over if you need to change route parameters.
N.I.C.E 430 has a built-in (optional) Safety Mode that will prevent you from using the
screen functions if your car is in motion. Unless a passenger will be the only one to
operate N.I.C.E 430, we strongly encourage you to turn on the Safety Mode.
It is also important that you look at the display only if it is absolutely safe to do so.
You should always observe traffic signs and road geometry before you obey any
instruction from N.I.C.E 430. If you need to deviate from the recommended direction,
N.I.C.E 430 will suggest a modified route according to the new situation.
Never place the PNA where it can obstruct the view of the driver, is within the
deployment zone of airbags, or where it can cause injuries in case of an accident.

2 General information
N.I.C.E 430 is a navigation system optimized for in-car use. It provides door-to-door
navigation for both single and multi-point routes using adaptable route parameters.
N.I.C.E 430 is capable of planning routes throughout the whole installed map set.
Unlike some other products, N.I.C.E 430 does not require that you change maps or
switch to a poorly detailed general map to navigate between map segments or
countries. You always have complete freedom to go wherever you wish. Just select
your destination and go.
You do not need a stylus to use N.I.C.E 430. All screen buttons and controls are
designed so that you can operate them with your fingertips.
You can access all functions of the program by using hardware and screen buttons.
With the help of these buttons you can travel through all the screens of the program.
Most of the screens (especially menu functions and settings) can be accessed from
several other screens, minimizing the number of actions needed to reach the desired
function.
When using N.I.C.E 430, you do not need to ‘double tap’ or ‘tap & hold’ the touch
screen as these functions cannot be used reliably in a moving vehicle. A single tap
triggers most of the screen controls. The only exceptions are ‘drag & drop’ for
moving the map, or scaling it in Map mode (Page 32).
Most of the screens have a Return button in the top left corner. This arrow
returns to the previous screen or directly to one of the map screens.
Settings screens also have a Help button in the top right corner. This will show
a detailed description of the current settings screen.
10
3 Operating N.I.C.E 430 (Controls)
N.I.C.E 430 is designed for easy operation. All controls are operable by fingertips.
Wherever possible, pushbuttons and lists are provided to make accessing functions
or changing settings as easy as possible.
3.1 Hardware buttons
The majority of the N.I.C.E 430 functions can be accessed using the touch screen.
The hardware buttons are the following:
3.1.1 Power on/off
Use this button to turn the power of the N.I.C.E. 430 on or off any time.
If the device power is turned off while N.I.C.E 430 is running, when you turn the
device back on, N.I.C.E 430 will continue the navigation as soon as the built-in GPS
determines the location again.
While the device is switched off, the GPS will not work, no position will be calculated,
track log will not be saved, and navigation will stop.
3.1.2 Find menu
Press this button to open the Cockpit screen with the Find menu.
3.2 Screen buttons and controls
The primary input channel of N.I.C.E 430 is the touch screen. If you read on, you will
realize that most parts of the screen are not only used to display information but also
to initiate functions by tapping. Below you will find a list of the most frequently used
controls in the program.
11
3.2.1 Direct selectors
Some of the settings can be chosen from a short list of possible values. If the values
can be described graphically, all values are available on the screen.
Tap one of the icons to set/change the value.
3.2.2 List selectors
When the values in the list need to be named, only the current value is shown
(sometimes together with a short description) in a horizontal stripe with arrows at
both ends.
The arrows are buttons. Tap to move left in the list or tap to move right.
You need not confirm your selection. As soon as you leave the screen, the selected
value becomes effective.
3.2.3 Sliders
When a feature has several different unnamed (numeric) values, N.I.C.E 430 will
show sliders that look like analogue potentiometers to set the desired value.
If the value limits are not displayed at the ends of the slider, the leftmost position
means the minimum value, while the rightmost position represents the maximum
value.
With most sliders you can check the current value on the left.
This control can be operated in two ways. Either drag the handle to move the slider
to its new position, or tap the slider where you want the handle to appear (the thumb
jumps there immediately). As with the list selectors, there is no need to confirm your
selection. As soon as you leave the screen, the selected value becomes effective.
3.2.4 Switches
When a function can only have two values (mainly Enabled and Disabled), a switch
is used. Unlike with list selectors, the horizontal line contains the name of the
12
function and not the actual status. There is a lamp on the left to show whether the
function is active or not.
When the lamp is dark , the function is not selected. When it is lit , the function
is enabled. The whole strip works as a button. Tap anywhere to toggle between the
enabled and disabled status.
3.2.5 Special switches
Some switches behave differently. Instead of being dark when not selected, the light
turns red and the lamp becomes crossed out to emphasize the prohibition of use.
Furthermore the switches used for the road types (to be included or avoided when
planning a route) on the Route Parameters screen (Page 69) cannot be changed for
some vehicle types. When such a vehicle is selected, not only the lamp but also the
whole line becomes inactive and dark.
Use these buttons the same way as you would other switches. Tap them anywhere
to toggle between the enabled and disabled states.
3.2.6 Switches in the Quick menu
The switches of the Quick menu (Page 43) behave as normal switches but they look
different in order to fit in with the other menu buttons.
Tap the button to toggle between the enabled and disabled states.
3.2.7 Virtual keyboards
N.I.C.E 430 is designed in a way that you only need to enter letters or numbers when
it is inevitable. In these cases a full screen keyboard pops up that can easily be
operated with your fingertips. You can choose between a separate ABC and numeric
keypad, or a set of QWERTY-type keyboards that contain both letters and numbers.
13
N.I.C.E 430 will remember your last choice and offer it the next time you need to
enter data.
The alphabetic keyboards in N.I.C.E 430 do not contain special characters, because
you do not need to enter accents when searching for a destination. Type only the
base letters (the letter most similar to the accented one) and N.I.C.E 430 will search
for all their combinations in the database (e.g. for the French street ‘Cité Bergère ’
you only need to type ‘Cite Bergere’, and the rest is done by the program).
When you type in POI or track log names, N.I.C.E 430 will automatically turn all
initials into capitals to create names that look pleasant.
3.2.7.1 ABC-type keyboards
These keyboards contain only letters (Latin, Hebraic, Greek or Cyrillic). If you wish to
enter numbers, you need to tap the Keys ( ) button to switch to the numeric
keyboard.
Use Backspace (arrow pointing left between Space and Keys) to delete the last letter
you have entered if you have made a mistake, tap Space to enter more words, and
hit Done to finish entering the text.
This type of keyboard has large, finger-friendly buttons.
Note: If you have chosen a program language that uses Latin letters, only the ABC
keyboard appears. If you choose the Greek language, an additional keyboard
appears with Greek letters. Similarly Hebraic and Cyrillic letters are available when
Hebrew or Russian is chosen in Setup / Languages (Page 71).
If you are used to computer keyboards, you may consider trying one of the
QWERTY-type keypads.
3.2.7.2 QWERTY-type keyboards
QWERTY-type keyboards have both letters and numbers on them. Their layout is
the same as of the standard QWERTY, QWERTZ (German) and AZERTY (French)
keyboards. To switch to your desired QWERTY-type keyboard, press the Keys
button repeatedly until the appropriate keyboard appears.
14
The special keys described in the previous section are also available here.
3.2.7.3 The numeric keyboard
The numeric keyboard only contains numbers, on huge buttons. The special keys
you find on the other keyboards (except Space) are available here as well.
Although QWERTY-type keyboards also contain number keys, when entering a
house number, the program offers the more convenient numeric keypad.
15
4 Discovering the program through the screens
The best way to discover N.I.C.E 430 is to explore each screen in detail, and to find
out how to move from one to another. Read this chapter for a guided tour.
4.1 Main menu (Navigation Menu)
N.I.C.E 430 starts by displaying the Main menu. This is the root of the screen
hierarchy, but you need to return here very rarely while using the program. Screens
are also accessible from each other to reduce the number of actions needed to
initiate a function or change a setting.
Most parts of the program are directly accessible from here by using the buttons
described below.
No. Content
1 Destination: Button to open Find menu
2 Button to open Map screen
3 Button to open Cockpit screen
4 Current position

9 Button to open About screen
10 Button to exit N.I.C.E 430 (navigation stops)
4.2 About screen
Tap About on the Main menu screen to open this screen. The About screen is not
used in normal navigation. It is there to inform you about the map licenses you have,
the creators of N.I.C.E 430 and the legal aspects of using the program.
4.3 The map
The most important and most frequently used screens of N.I.C.E 430 are the two
screens with the map (Map screen and Cockpit screen). They are similar in look and
in possible controls but are optimized for different uses. The map they display is
common. The elements of the map are described here. For the controls and special
functions of the two map screens see Page 28.
The current version of N.I.C.E 430 is primarily intended for land navigation. That is
why maps in N.I.C.E 430 look similar to paper roadmaps (when using daytime colors
and 2D map mode). However, N.I.C.E 430 provides much more than regular paper
maps can. The look and the contents can be changed.
4.3.1 2D and 3D map views
Besides the classical top down view of the map (called 2D mode), you have the
possibility to tilt the map to have a perspective view (3D mode) that gives a view
similar to that seen through the windscreen with the possibility to see far ahead.
17
It is easy to change between 2D and 3D modes. You have two options. You can use
the Tilt up and down buttons (Page 31) to tilt the map seamlessly between 2D and all
3D angles, or you can use the switch in the Quick menu (Page 43) to quickly switch
between the two modes.
Note: You may find that 2D mode is more useful in North-up Map mode when
looking for a certain part of the map or an object to select as destination. On the
other hand, 3D mode in Track-up Cockpit mode with Smart Zoom makes navigation
very comfortable. The description of these modes will come later in this manual.
Note: 3D view is only useful for navigation. As you zoom out, the view angle will
automatically be raised. Finally 2D view will be reached. When you zoom back in, 3D
view will gradually return.
Note: Using the Advanced settings, you can force Cockpit mode to always start in 3D
Track-up view (Page 72). You can still rotate and tilt the maps in either mode, but the
next time you enter this screen, the preset look will reappear. Similarly you can force
Map mode to always start in 2D North-up view.
4.3.2 Zoom levels
N.I.C.E 430 uses high quality vector maps that let you see the map at various zoom
levels, always with optimized content (the density of the map details can be
independently set for Map and Cockpit screens in Map settings (Page )). Street
names and other text objects are always displayed with the same font size, never
upside down, and you only see as many streets and objects as needed to find your
way around the map. Zoom in and out to see how the map changes in either the 2D
or 3D view.
18
Changing the scale of the map is very easy. You can drag and stretch the scale
(Page 32) at the bottom of the Map screen, or use the zoom icons (Page 31) on both
Map and Cockpit screens.
Note: If you need to zoom out briefly to locate your position on the map, use the
Overview mode instead of zooming out and back in. The Overview mode is a 2D
North-up view that can be started by tapping the compass button on the right (Page
33).
Note: N.I.C.E 430 has a special Smart Zoom function for navigation that
automatically rotates, scales and tilts the map in 3D map mode to always give you
the optimal view in your current situation. When approaching a turn, it will zoom in
and raise the view angle to let you easily recognize your maneuver at the next
junction. If the next turn is at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to
flat in order to let you see the road in front of you.
4.3.3 Daylight and night color schemes
The different color schemes let you adjust N.I.C.E 430 to the brightness of the
environment. Use the daylight and night color schemes accordingly. Daylight colors
are similar to paper roadmaps, while the night color schemes use dark tints for large
objects to keep the average brightness of the screen low, with carefully selected
colors to still keep you informed about all the necessary information on the screen.
You can change between day and night views manually in the Quick Menu (Page
44) or let N.I.C.E 430 do it automatically (Page 62) for you.
Note: The automatic day/night mode is based upon the current date and GPS
position by which N.I.C.E 430 calculates the exact sunrise and sunset times on the
particular day at the particular location. Using that information N.I.C.E 430 can
automatically switch between the color schemes a few minutes before sunrise, when
the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset before it gets dark.
Tip: There are several daytime and night color schemes included with N.I.C.E 430.
To select the one that suits your needs the best, make your selection in Settings
(Page 65).
Tip: To further enhance the effect of the night color scheme, you can instruct N.I.C.E
430 to decrease the display backlight when the night colors are used. Set the
desired backlight levels for both daylight and night modes. Page 73.
19
Note: The colors mentioned and screenshots included in this manual refer to the
default daytime and night color schemes. They may not look the same in the
schemes you have chosen.
Tip: If you use N.I.C.E 430 after sunrise or before sunset, look for the sun in the sky
in the map background using a flat 3D view. It is displayed at its actual position to
give you another way to orientate, and also to provide some eye candy.
4.3.4 Streets and roads
The similarity of N.I.C.E 430 to paper roadmaps is also convenient when it comes to
streets, the most important elements of the map concerning navigation. N.I.C.E 430
uses similar color codes to those you are accustomed to, and the width of the streets
also refers to their importance, so it will not be difficult to tell a highway from a small
street.
Streets and roads have names or numbers for identification. Of course, this
information can be displayed on the map. N.I.C.E 430 uses two different ways to
show street labels. The conventional way is the same as a roadmap – it displays the
name of the street aligned with the street. The alternative is a kind of virtual signpost
stuck into the street itself.
You need not choose between the two modes. N.I.C.E 430 will use the one best for
the current tilt and zoom level. Zoom in to have only a few streets on the map, and
start tilting up and down to see how N.I.C.E 430 switches between the two modes in
an instant.
Note: The automatic switching is on even when using Smart Zoom. At first you may
find it odd, but later you will discover how it adjusts the displayed information to the
current view of the map. It is important, as the driver must be able to read the map at
a glance.
20
Tip: If you do not want to be bothered by street names during navigation, turn them
off in Map Options (Page 66).
Tip: Major roads usually have alternative names (numbering) besides the primary
name. You can choose whether to display these alternative names or not. You can
set this in Map Options (Page 66).
4.3.5 Other objects
To help orientate you, the map also contains objects that have no other navigating
function than to help you recognize your location on the map. These are surfacewaters, large buildings, forests, etc.
Tip: These objects are normally displayed using textured polygons that look natural
to the eye. You may wish to switch the textured display off (Page 66) to free some of
the resources of your PNA by replacing textures with plain colored surfaces.
4.3.6 Current position and Lock-on-Road
When your GPS position is available, a blue arrow (yellow when using night colors)
shows your location on the map.
The direction of the arrow represents your heading. The arrow is sized and vertically
rotated with the zoom and tilt levels to always look realistic.
N.I.C.E 430 has a built-in Lock-on-Road feature that always puts the position arrow
on the road, on the axis of the street in case of one-way streets, or on the side of the
road where you drive (e.g. on the right in Germany and on the left in the U.K.) on
two-way roads.
The location received from the GPS receiver is shown as a blue dot on the map. This
can help you locate your position if the GPS accuracy is poor, and the Lock-on-Road
21
system puts you on the wrong street. It is also the location saved in the track log
(Page 48).
Note: The Lock-on-Road feature can be turned off in Advanced settings (Page 77)
for pedestrian use. When switched off, the arrow is displayed where the blue dot
would be with active Lock-on-Road.
When the GPS position is lost, the arrow turns gray, but the journey continues on the
recommended route for a short period of time with the speed last detected before the
GPS position was lost. When the next route event is reached, or after 40 seconds,
the arrow stops, and remains gray until GPS reception returns. This way short
tunnels can be crossed without losing the position.
4.3.7 Selected map point, also known as the Cursor
If you tap the map somewhere or select a specific item in Find, it will become the
selected point on the map, marked with a small red dot and permanently radiating
red circles to make it conspicuous at all zoom levels, even when it is in the
background of a 3D map view. You can use this point as starting point, via point, or
destination of your route, you can search for a POI near to it, mark it with a drawingpin, or save it as a POI. The cursor, when visible, is also the reference point for map
scaling.
Note: When your GPS position is available, and Lock-to-Position (Page 32) is active,
the cursor is the current GPS position, the blue arrow. When you select another point
by tapping the map, or using the Main menu (Using the Main menu), the new Cursor
is shown on the display with the red dot and the radiating red circles.
4.3.8 Marked map points (Pin)
The Cursor can be marked with a Pin. Pins are shown as being stuck in the map. A
Pin is visible at all zoom levels and remains in its position until you unpin it, or delete
all Pins in Advanced settings (Page 78).
The color of the Pin is automatically selected by N.I.C.E 430. Different colors help
you identify a Pin in the History list (Page 86) later. There they are shown together
with their address and GPS Coordinates.
Tip: A quick way to tell the coordinates of a location you found on the map is to Pin it,
and then look for the coordinates in the History list (Page 86).This way you also save
22
the coordinates with the Pin for later reference. If you do not need the coordinates
later, just select the point and start Find Coordinates (Page 86).
4.3.9 Visible POIs (Points of Interest)
N.I.C.E 430 comes with thousands of built-in POIs, and you can create your own POI
database as well. Having all of them displayed on the map would make the map too
crowded. To avoid this, N.I.C.E 430 lets you select which POIs to show and which
ones to hide (Page 45) using their categories and subcategories.
POIs are represented by icons on the map. For a built-in POI it is the icon of the
subcategory of the actual POI. For points you create, it is the icon you had chosen
when you created the POI (it can be changed later).
These icons are large enough to recognize the symbol, and semi-transparent so as
not to cover the streets and junctions behind them.
When the map is zoomed out, the icons are not shown. As you zoom in, small dots
appear at the locations of visible POIs. Zooming in further makes the full icons
appear.
If two points are too close to each other so that icons overlap, a multi-POI icon
shown instead of individual ones. Zoom in more to see them separately. (Should the
two POIs have the same icon, this icon will be displayed instead of the multi-POI
icon.)
is
23
Note: When navigating, POI icons can be disabled together with street names (Page
66). If you still need this information during your journey, just drag the map to disable
Lock-to-Position (Page 32). This will restore street names and POI icons
immediately. Now tap Lock to reactivate Lock-to-Position.
Tip: Tap the map on or near a POI item to see the list of the names of the nearest
POIs in a popup list, if it is enabled (Page 47). To see the details of a particular POI
in the list, tap the blue ’i’ icon on the right. If you have too may POIs nearby, this list
may not be complete. In the Cursor menu (Page 35) there is a button called POI that
leads you to the screen of all nearby POI items. There you can open them one by
one to see their details, and select any of them as a route point.
4.3.10 Road safety cameras
Road safety cameras, such as speed cameras and red light cameras are special POI
types in N.I.C.E 430. They are described in detail here: Page 57.
4.3.11 Elements of the Active Route
N.I.C.E 430 uses a multi-destination routing system in which you have a start point
(your current location if GPS position is available), a destination, the line of the active
leg of the route, and optionally via points and inactive legs. They are all shown on
the map.
4.3.11.1 The start point, via points and the destination
These points are represented by flags.
4.3.11.2 Animated turn guidance
Animated arrows represent all route events other than the above-mentioned special
points. These arrows show the direction in which you need to continue your journey.
24
4.3.11.3 The active leg of the route
The active leg is the section of the route you are currently driving. If you have not
added any Via points, the whole route will be the active leg. When Via points are
present, the active leg is the part leading from your location to the next via point.
The active section is displayed in green/red. It is always the most conspicuous part
of the map even when in the background of a 3D map view.
The line of the route is displayed on the driving side of the road for two-way and on
the axis in case of one-way streets. When the map is zoomed in and the line is wide
enough, small arrows show the direction of the route. This can be useful if you
preview the route before starting the journey or when entering a complex junction.
4.3.11.4 Inactive legs of the route
Future sections of a route are inactive. They are also shown on the map with the
same color but a darker tint than the active one. An inactive route section becomes
active as soon as you reach its starting Via point.
25
4.3.11.5 Roads in the route excluded by your preferences
Although you can choose whether to include or avoid some road types in Route
parameter settings (Page 69), sometimes they are impossible to avoid near the
starting point, via points or the destination.
If so, N.I.C.E 430 will display those segments of the route with an alternate color.
4.4 GPS Data screen
Tap the GPS button at the list of TMC messages screen to open this window.
The GPS Data screen is a collection of information received from the GPS device
and it also serves as the entry point to the following screens:
• Time Sync.
4.4.1 GPS data displayed
The virtual sky on the left represents the currently visible part of the sky above you,
with your position as the center. The satellites are shown at their current positions.
The GPS receives data from both the green and gray satellites. Signals from the
gray satellites are only received, while green ones are used by the GPS to calculate
your current location. On the right you can see the satellite signal strength bars. Grey
bars are for the gray and black bars are for the green satellites. To identify satellites
use their numbers also shown in the virtual sky. The more satellites your GPS tracks
(the green ones), the better your calculated position will be.
Additional pieces of information on this screen are: current position in
latitude/longitude format, elevation, speed, date, time and calculated accuracy.
Note: Accuracy can be affected by several factors the GPS cannot take into account.
Use this accuracy information only as estimation.
There are two icons on the left to show the status of the GPS connection and the
quality of reception.
26
4.4.2 GPS connection indicator
In the middle to the left there is a lamp similar to the ones used for switches. This
one has more colors and represents more values:
• a fast blinking green lamp means that there is communication with the GPS
and data is being received,
• other colors may not appear with a built-in GPS. Should any of
these appear, this means a faulty operation of your device.
4.4.3 GPS data quality indicator
In the top left corner there is a satellite dish to show the quality of the GPS position.
Different colors represent different signal quality:
• black with a red cross means there is no connection with the GPS device.
This should never be the case if your device has a built-in GPS.
• red means the GPS is connected but no GPS position is available,
• yellow means 2D reception. A GPS position has been acquired, N.I.C.E 430
is ready for navigation, but the GPS is using enough satellites for calculating the
horizontal position only. Elevation data is not provided, and the position error may
be significant.
•
green means 3D reception. The GPS receiver has enough satellites to
calculate altitude. Position is generally correct (yet it can still be inaccurate due to
different environmental factors). N.I.C.E 430 is ready for navigation.
4.4.4 Time synchronization
In the top right corner of the screen you have another button that leads to a new
screen where you can synchronize the clock of your PNA to the very accurate time
provided by the connected GPS.
27
Turn on the Auto Correction switch to let N.I.C.E 430 frequently check and correct
the PNA time with the GPS time.
Below that button you will see the current values of the GPS and the PNA clocks.
You can check here whether any correction is needed. Tap the button to
manually synchronize the time.
Below the PNA time you have hour and minute controls to manually correct the time
with or without a valid GPS time. It also gives you the chance to correct the time after
synchronization if your PNA does not support time zones or daylight saving time.
4.5 Screens with map
Having explained the contents of the map, the description of the other parts of the
map screens follows. There are two map screens: the Map screen and the Cockpit
screen. The way they show the map is the same but their look and controls are
optimized for different purposes.
The Map screen is to be used mainly without a GPS, to browse the map, create user
POI items, or to plan your route based on map points. The Map screen is designed
to give you the maximum map area. This screen is usually used in 2D North-up
mode.
You can set N.I.C.E 430 so it always opens the Map screen in 2D North-up mode
(Page 72).
The Cockpit screen is for driving purposes. Besides showing the map, it contains
some additional travel information if you are just cruising (speed, current street your
are driving in, speed limit for the current street), and some more route data if you are
navigating (e.g. next street in your route, distance to travel, type of the next route
event). This screen is typically used in 3D Track-up mode.
You can make N.I.C.E 430 always open the Cockpit screen in 3D Track-up mode
(Page 72).
There are several controls that function in a similar fashion on the two screens. They
are described on the following pages.

4.5.1 Turn preview (No. 1)
On the Cockpit screen this field shows a graphic illustration of the next maneuver.
For example when you approach a turn, an arrow will show whether it is a slight,
normal or sharp turn. When showing a roundabout, the number of the exit is also
given in the picture.
This field also serves as a button. Tap it to get the voice guidance repeat. The Map
screen will show a button called Route here if there is an active route, which leads to
the Route menu.

4.5.2 Zoom in and out (No. 2 & 3)
These semi-transparent buttons are only displayed if "Zoom & Tilt" is enabled in the
Quick menu (Page 44).
Zoom will change the scale of the map. Zoom out shows a larger part of the map,
while Zoom in shows a smaller part of the map in more detail.
The automatic Smart Zoom function will do the necessary zooming for you when
navigating (zooms out if the next turn is at a distance to let you see far ahead and
zooms in when approaching a turn to give you a better view of the upcoming
maneuver). If you manually change the zoom level, Smart Zoom will no longer scale
the map by itself (automatic tilting and rotating remains active).
You need to tap the Follow button (Page 32) to return the zoom control to Smart
Zoom. You can also set N.I.C.E 430 to do this automatically after a few seconds in
case of the Cockpit screen (Page 75).
4.5.3 Tilt up and down (No. 4 & 5)
These semi-transparent buttons are only displayed if "Zoom & Tilt" is enabled in the
Quick menu (Page 44).
This function modifies the vertical viewing angle of the map in 3D mode. You can
change the angle in a wide range starting from a top down view (2D view is
seamlessly integrated) all the way to a flat view that lets you see far ahead.
The automatic Smart Zoom function will do the necessary tilting for you when
navigating (gives a flat view if the next turn is at a distance to let you see far ahead
and raises the angle when approaching a turn to give you a better view of the
upcoming maneuver). If you manually change the view angle, Smart Zoom will no
longer tilt the map by itself (automatic zooming and rotating remains active).
You need to tap the Follow button (Page 32) to return the tilt control to Smart Zoom.
You can also set N.I.C.E 430 to do this automatically after a few seconds (Page 75).

4.5.4 Follow mode - lock to GPS position and heading (No. 6)
This semi-transparent icon is displayed if GPS position is available, and the map has
been moved. It also appears when you scale or tilt the map while Smart Zoom is
enabled.
This semi-transparent icon is displayed if GPS position is available, and the map has
been moved or rotated. It also appears when you scale or tilt the map while Smart
Zoom is enabled.
Normally N.I.C.E 430 positions the map to keep the GPS position visible somewhere
on the map (when North-up orientation is selected), or always at the bottom center of
the map (when Track-up orientation is selected).
If you manually move the map, it will freeze the map in the new position. To return to
the GPS position, use this Follow button.
When Smart Zoom is enabled, scaling or tilting the map also stops the automatic
zooming or automatic tilting respectively. To reactivate Smart Zoom, tap this button.
Tip: In Advanced settings you can set a delay time after which N.I.C.E 430 pushes
the Follow button for you on the Cockpit screen automatically (Page 75). This can be
turned on for re-enabling both Lock-to-Position and Smart Zoom.
4.5.5 Cursor (No. 7)
As described earlier (Page 22), if you tap the map somewhere or select one specific
item in Find, it will become the selected point on the map, marked with a small red
dot and radiating red circles to make it conspicuous. You can use this point as
starting point, via point or destination for your route, you can search for a POI near it,
mark it with a pin, or save it as a POI.
Note: When GPS position is available, the Follow button will appear indicating that
you have disabled Lock-to-Position. Tapping the Follow button will re-enable the
position lock and move the cursor back to the current GPS position. The same
happens when N.I.C.E 430 restores Lock-to-Position automatically on the Cockpit
screen, if it is set in Advanced settings (Page 75).
4.5.6 Map scale (No. 8)
The scale indicator is only available on the Map screen. In 2D map view it represents
the scale of the map. In 3D view it is the scale of the nearest part of the map only.
32
You can use it in both 2D and 3D modes to scale the map. Drag and pull it right to
zoom in, or left to zoom out.
4.5.7 Menu (No. 9)
This button opens the Menu with the Find engine, the Quick menu, the Route menu
and the exit button that takes you to the Main menu screen. The Menu will be
described in detail later: Page 43.
4.5.8 Map orientation and Overview (No. 10)
You can view the map screens in three different presentation modes. This switch will
cycle through them in the following order.
The usual map orientation for navigation is Track-up. It means N.I.C.E 430 rotates
the map during navigation to always face the direction of your travel. In this mode an
arrow (compass) points towards North.
Tap this icon to switch to North-up mode. Now the map is fixed to keep facing North.
The icon changes to show the new rotation mode.
Tap the icon again to enter Overview mode. This mode looks similar to the North-up
mode with one difference: the zoom level in this mode has a fixed default to give you
a better look of where you are on the map. You can change the zoom level at any
time, this will not cause the Follow button to appear, but when entering Overview
mode later, the default zoom level will be restored.
The arrow representing your position will be fixed in the middle of the screen. When
you move the map in Overview mode, the Follow button will appear, and when
pushed, it will move the map to have your current position in the middle of the map
again.
You cannot rotate the map in Overview mode. This mode is strictly north-up.
You can set up N.I.C.E 430 so that it will switch to Overview mode during navigation
when the next turn is far away. You can specify this distance and the fixed zoom
level of Overview in Advanced settings (Page 74).
An airplane icon indicates Overview mode.
33
Tap the icon again to return to Track-up (automatic rotation) mode.
4.5.9 GPS position quality (No. 11)
Similarly to the icon found on the GPS Data screen (Page 27), the map screens also
inform you about the GPS signal:
• The black satellite dish with the red exclamation mark shows there is no
connection with the GPS receiver. GPS navigation is not possible. Devices with a
built-in GPS receiver are permanently connected, so this icon may not appear
under normal circumstances.
• Red shows there is a connection, but the signal is too weak to give a
position. GPS navigation is not possible.
• Black shows there is a GPS position, and navigation is possible. When only
one arc is shown, the position is 2D (no altitude available), and position error may
be significant, yet N.I.C.E 430 is ready to navigate.
• A black dish and two arcs represent a 3D GPS position. N.I.C.E 430 is ready
to navigate.
• When small car symbols are displayed under the dish, TMC information is
available.
4.5.10 Battery status (No. 12)
The status of the battery is also shown by N.I.C.E 430. You can estimate the
available power reserve from the length of the bar inside. Some examples:
• The thunderbolt in the battery shows the battery is being charged.
• Battery is not charging, but it is at full capacity.
• Battery in not full, but there is sufficient reserve capacity.
• When the inside of the battery turns red, the battery needs recharging.
34
4.5.11 Sound muting (No. 13)
This icon displays the enabled or disabled status of the voice guidance and the key
sounds. When muting is enabled, the speaker icon is crossed out.
When sounds are enabled the red cross disappears.
Tap this button to open Sound settings (Page 66).
Note: Sound can be muted in Sound settings (Page 66), using the Master switch.
4.5.12 Track Log recording/playback indicator (No. 14)
When a track log is being recorded, a red icon is displayed on the map screens. This
icon also functions as a button leading to the Track Log screen (Page 48) where you
can stop the recording or make the track log visible on the map.
During track log playback a green icon will blink. Tapping this icon (in fact, tapping
the screen anywhere) stops the simulation.
4.5.13 Cursor menu (No. 15)
The Cursor is the selected point on the map (marked by a red dot and radiating red
circles around it), or the current GPS position when it is available and Lock-toPosition is enabled. When you tap the screen to place the Cursor, the Cursor menu
pops up automatically to give you the list of possible functions you can use the
Cursor for. At the same time Popup Info (street name, house number and the list of
POIs nearby) appears near the selected map point if Popup Info is enabled in the
Quick menu (Page 43).
If you do not use the Cursor menu in a few seconds, it will automatically vanish back
to the bottom of the screen, and Popup Info disappears, too. You can have them
reappear by reopening the Cursor menu using the arrow in the bottom right corner.
When you open the menu manually, it will stay on until you close it or switch to
another screen.
35
Tip: If you want to see the map around the Cursor, close the Cursor menu and
reopen it. When this menu is opened manually, the map is always moved to have the
cursor in the center.
The content of the Cursor menu depends on the screen (Map or Cockpit) and it is
slightly different if there is an active route already planned. You have the following
options:
• Start: use the Cursor as the departure point for your route. This menu point is
available only in Map mode and when there is no active route. In Cockpit mode
the departure point of the route is always the GPS position or if it is not available,
the last known GPS position.
• Route To: use the Cursor as the destination of your route. This button is to start a
new route. The previous route (if it exists) will be deleted and replaced. If a multipoint route is active, N.I.C.E 430 will ask you whether you really want to delete it
together with all its via points.
• Add Via: by inserting the selected map point as a via, you instruct N.I.C.E 430 to
cross this location before the destination of the route. This is the way to build a
multi-point route in reverse order (when you wish to insert a stopover ‘go to A but
first get some fuel at B’ or want to influence the direction of the route). This menu
point works only if a route is already active.
• Remove Via: removes the ‘via point’ near or at the Cursor. The route will be
recalculated immediately excluding the deleted point. This menu point replaces
Add Via and is available only if the Cursor is near or at a via point.
• Add Dest: add a new destination to be reached after the previous destination.
The new destination replaces the old one, which is now demoted to a via point.
This is the way to build your multi-point route in straight order (when you wish to
visit several destinations ‘go to A then to B’). This menu point is available only if a
route is already active.
• Pin: push a colored pin in the map at the selected point for later use. This pin is
visible at all zoom levels and also appears in the History list together with its exact
position. The color of the pin is automatically selected by N.I.C.E 430. This menu
point is only available on the Map screen.
• Unpin: remove the pin near or at the Cursor. This menu point replaces Pin and is
available only if the selected point is near or at a pin.
• POI: opens the list of POIs near the selected point. These are the POIs shown in
the Popup Info window. If you want to add a new POI at the cursor, you can do so
by tapping Add POI in the bottom left corner. You can also add a new road safety
36
camera if you tap Add Cam, and set the parameters (type, direction, and speed). If
a camera already exists near the cursor, this button is inactive, and you can
change the parameters of the camera by tapping it in the list.
4.5.14 Current street (No. 16)
This field of the Cockpit screen shows the name or number (as available) of the
current street or road you are driving on.
Tip: Some roads have an alternative name (or number). This is normally shown
together with the primary name in this field. You can hide these alternative names in
Map settings (Page 66).
4.5.15 Travel and Route data (No. 17)
The contents of these three fields are different when cruising (without an active
route) or navigating (following an active route).
While cruising, the fields show the present speed, the current speed limit and the
time of day.
While navigating a route, these fields show the estimated time needed to reach the
destination (ETE), the distance to destination, and the estimated arrival time at the
destination (ETA) by default.
You can choose what to display in these three fields during navigation, by going to
Advanced settings / Display Options (Page 73). See the following list for your
options. The only restriction is that you cannot select a value that already appears in
another field. The possible field contents are:
• Distance to destination (default value for the left field)
• Time to destination (estimated time en route, default value for the middle field)
• Distance to next via point
• Time to next via point
• Time to next maneuver (next route event)
• Speed
• Speed limit
