Appearance#
Menu → Settings → Map & navigation → Appearance.
- Theme: Auto, Light or Dark. Auto follows the phone; on CarPlay it follows sunrise and sunset at your position.
- Orientation: Auto, Portrait, or landscape left or right.
- Flash map alerts: a brief flash of the map when a camera or report alerts.
- Edge alerts: point to cameras and reports from the edge of the screen instead of listing them at the top.
- Auto zoom: zooms out at highway speed and in for turns, lower speed limits and speed cameras ahead; pinch to set how far out it goes. Flat keeps the map flat; Reset map zoom puts the far limit back.
- Show upcoming speed limit: shows the next posted limit above the current one when it changes ahead on your road.
- Auto-close: close the app a while after the detector disconnects.
- Speedometer size: 1.0× to 1.5×.
- Units: mph or km/h.
- Screen flash (Accessibility): flashes the whole screen in the band's colour when an alert starts, for drivers who cannot rely on sound. Per band: X, K, Ka, Laser, Other.
