Abstract
A mobile device associated with a road vehicle or the like, has a mapping or navigation functionality configured to determining whether the vehicle is in a forwards or backwards driving mode. When a change of driving mode is detected, the mapping functionality effectively resets so that the transition between driving modes is rendered smoothly and efficiently.
