Review of OS v.26 from MotoringFile.com:

Display:

* Much improved Antialiased display (no longer ‘blocky’ looking) with smooth scrolling
* Coloring improved (water, forests, roads, etc - better contrast & much clearer)
* Car ‘icon’ is now much clearer (white ring, with blue triangle, with shadow)
* Destination icon is now a Checkered Flag
* Points Of Interest (POI) icons are now grayscale in white boxes (much cleaner icon design)
* ‘City Center’ or ‘Suburb Center’ icons are now small grey targets which are much more subtle that before
* Use of subtle shadows (on road labels, POI icons, car icon, etc.)
* Street names are easier to read, but only show at scales of 200m or less
* Landmarks (parks, etc) have a font which looks embossed.
* When zoomed out, cities are labeled with a small square next to the name (see images).

New ‘Direction of Travel’ viewing mode:

* Car icon is fixed in its position on the monitor and the map rotates around it
* Rotation is fairly quick and smooth, particularly at lower scales
* this works even when zoomed out to 200km, above which it reverts to a ‘North Orientated’ view

Function:

* POI Icons appear at larger scales (start to be seen at 5km scale of 2km)
* POI Icons can be switched off (Function under ‘Information - General Destinations’ called ‘Disable Icons’)
* When a POI is selected as a destination its icon is replaced by the flag icon
* Route List shows list to the destination even if guidance never started and it updates on the fly.
