|
|
Hey,
I purchased a 970 on the weekend. and it says on the box thats its a 2D+3D view display.
after opening the box. I selected 3D, which then happen to turn out 2D!
Does anyone know is there a ways of re-selecting 3D view?
Thanks.. |

Set up a route...... select guidance. Go to MAIN menu. Select Display then 2D/3D mode and make your choice. _________________ Gee-Pee

You appear to be confusing 3D view. In TomTom, 3D means a birds eye view from above and looking ahead, where as 2D is looking straight down as if looking at a map.
It is not 3D in the sense that all contours and buildings are represented on the map. _________________ Darren Griffin |

I can access the 3d view when following a route only, not when just tracking my position. Just got the unit at Christmas so not sure if there's a way around this. |

You don't need an active route to see the 3D view. If you do not enter a route you will still see your position in 2 or 3D? _________________ Darren Griffin |

I get lost in navigating the various screens and so far have only been able to navigate to the 2D/3D option button if I have a route entered But then, I'm pretty green to this device at the moment.
At the moment I am having great trouble in trying to install the software (Content Manager) on my laptop with the Vista Home Premium OS. It just will not recognise the device. I believe that Active Synch will not work on Vista and that one has to use Win Mobile Device - am I right? I installed it on my PC with Win XP installed and there was no problem at all. _________________ Gee-Pee

You are incorrect, as the 3D mode is only available in route mode, as stated in the manual. This is one of my several complaints of the system as I normally only use 'free navigation' mode for the majority of the time, which is only available in 2D. |
