New navigation icon after update ?

I was sitting in traffic the other day and I noticed a new (to me) icon at the bottom of the navigation screen. The compass is probably to change the view but I can't figure out the 0.5 mi and little bar graph and the "Auto" next to it. Can't find anything in the manual.

Please let me know what it's trying to tell me.

I have attached a picture.

Thanks

if you take your thumb and index finger and place it on the screen of that 0.5 mi distance, that's of what it is. it shows you how 'zoomed in/zoomed out' you are on the map. The bar graph shows you the level of zoom you are currently at. And Auto means it'll automatically zoom into/out of the navigation as you drive along. It's zoomed out when you're driving steadily but as you get closer to your destination and/or are close to the city with turns and stuff, it'll zoom in automagically.

The 0.5 over the line is your scale. The line is 1" long (maybe 1/2") so every inch on your screen is 0.5 miles. As you zoom out the number grows meaning your map scale decreases; 1"=0.5 miles, 1"=10 miles, 1"=20 miles, etc...
