Figure 166: Show On The Status Bar

Some people, myself included, find the amount of information displayed by default on the status bar cluttered and difficult to read from the driver's seat. Thankfully, TomTom's software allows you to customize how much or little information you prefer to see on the status bar.

Figure 167: Show on The Status Bar, Page 2

Note that "Show lane guidance" refers to the smaller, non-3D lane guidance graphic that is displayed on the status bar, and does not refer to the 3D Advanced Lane Guidance view.

"Show leeway to arrival time" displays how early/late you will arrive at your destination (if you provided a desired arrival time).

Figure 168: Automatic Zooming

Automatic Zooming, enabled by default, causes the map to automatically zoom in to a closer street-level view when approaching turn maneuvers. Once a turn is complete, the map automatically zooms back out.

Figure 169: Show in the Quick Menu

Up to six shortcuts can be added to the "Quick menu".
