    When you drive, in an unknown city not to mention another country, in the middle of a big traffic jam, you don't have time to look at the navigation and read the streets. Even when you have a companion, there is no time for that. You have to follow the situation around you with great concentration, you can only listen.
    Before asking a question, know it's already discussed here and at 99.9% is not unique. Use search.

    Spoiler: obs
    Many questions become very arduous, a lot of time chewed deja vu...Since we have lost all the year of work and effort, many people have no will to answer the same questions again. Me neither. Use a search, please.

    Hi.

    Sorry for writing again... and also on an old post.

    But it still irritates me a lot. I always search for cities, villages, rivers, ... etc. ... with my fingers on the map (by tapping and dragging, zooming in and out)... and sometimes also street names - as mentioned in the initial question.

    I can't find my way when I want to view maps on iGO Nextgen.

    Is there really no way to set iGO to always display as many names as possible: villages, towns, streets ?

    I know that Google Maps cannot be compared with iGO, but on Google Maps I immediately saw and found out by moving the map with the mouse where a city or village is located, and which side is better to go to first if, for example, I want to visit two acquaintances at the same time.

    In the case of iGO "surfing" on the map, this is undetectable. This is because if I set the zoom to, for example, 100 meters, I see the name of city A, but I do not see the name of the next neighboring city B. But when I set the zoom to, for example, 120 meters, I see the name of city B, but the name of city A disappears (on iGO map). This is unusable.

    Also, the arguments that iGO serves to navigate the driver in the car to some single point of the route, and does not serve to "surf" in locations on the map, as it can be done in Google Maps, is ridiculous. I simply sometimes need to use the map in iGO also for the purpose of finding various landmarks (cities, towns, ...) but I can't see them on the map. Then I don't know which way to go. Simply put, I want to use iGO also for my own orientation in a small locality of the country in which I am currently located.

    Today there was a situation with a traffic accident in front of the route and I had to make a detour. All right, I entered the road detour into iGO. However, I wanted to go through another city... and then through one more city... but I couldn't judge which one was closer, because the same embarrassing situation as before was repeated... i.e. as example:

    - 50m zoom: I see the name of city XYZ, but no other city names
    - 60m zoom: No city names are displayed (not even one!)
    - 100m zoom: I can only see 2 city names, out of a total of 5 cities that I have shown on the display (on the map) at this very moment
    - 200m zoom: No city names are displayed (not even one!)
    - 500m zoom: I can only see 1 name of the city!

    Is there really no algorithm that would display the names of cities and towns (and subsequently also streets) using the same principle and algorithm as Google Maps does ?

    If it is not possible to change, set, adjust somehow, I will stop using iGO. I think that even enjoying the maps with their "view" with the eyes is a very important thing that the auto-navigation must handle.

    Thanks.
