Driving

The standard CoPilot Live driving view provides a 2D or 3D perspective of the road ahead. Details about the next turn are shown on the dashboard at the bottom of the screen, with a description of the turn, a large turn arrow and the distance to the turn.

Lane assist arrows are displayed at the top of the screen when you approach a complex junction. Signpost information is displayed at major intersections that match real-life signs.
