Hi Itay,

It is possible that on main screen of an application many other links are available. User can navigate to them from main screen. Such links are also possible on new screens (navigated screens) & so on. In order to display the path followed by user till current screen bread crumbs are used.

They are not fixed & change according to the user link selection. They display the level.

Road map steps are used to display the steps involved in any process. They are mostly static or fixed. User can't take path other than that.

Regards,

Saket.
