Bikenavi offers six different map layouts, from which the user can choose the one that best suits their needs. The options differ in terms of visuals, road network accuracy, and terrain presentation. The map layout can be easily changed in the application settings.
The vector maps used allow for smooth panning and tilting of the map view, and are lightweight and maintain their accuracy at all zoom levels.
