• Pan the map. Swipe with three fingers.
• Browse visible points of interest. Set the rotor to Points of Interest, then swipe up or down with one finger.
• Follow a road. Hold your finger down on the road, wait until you hear pause to follow, then move your finger along the road while listening to the guide tone. The pitch increases when you stray from the road.
