Interactive Map

The interactive map is another option for entering destinations.

In addition to horizontal and vertical navigation there is also the option of diagonal navigation. Since the CIC does not directly have a diagonal sliding option, the following solution was found.

The auxiliary line for entering the destination can also be moved diagonally by pushing, pressing and turning the controller.

Various diagonal graduations can now be selected to facilitate destination selection.

A destination location appears in the crosshairs, it is shown highlighted and now it can be selected as the destination.

NOTE: The interactive map is an excellent tool for checking the controller functions. Since the controller can be moved in all directions, it is possible to detect if there are any defects in the controller or CIC head unit.
