Camera Angle and Map Distance

#1 · 18.04.2024, 07:17

Seems like on 3.5 anything above 40% 3D camera angle limits the viewable map distance. This is especially pronounced at my preferred higher 3D camera angles, almost makes it look like your constantly driving into a fog where you can't see the route, rendering the top 25% or more of the screen useless. Seems to do this when connected on carplay too. Any suggestions? I've included a couple of examples using 60% angle and different manual zoom levels.

You can change the 3D camera angle in settings > navigation & tracking.

The reason why the default is like this is because in landscape mode you only see a tiny bit of horizon. Also depends on size of your device.

Ah sorry. I see that you already tried this.

Unfortunately I can not change this. The horizon height is directly related to the camera angle. This is done by the HERE map framework and there are no configuration option to change horizon height seperate from cam angle.
