MapView.setScreenVisibleArea method

Analyzing "MapSample" project from Samples I have problems to understand how setScreenVisibleArea method works. Anybody can help me understand the purpose of this method and its connection with setMapVisibleArea method?

The best way to explain this is looking at the API doc and the map sample, and trying things, but for example, I use setScreenVisibleArea to have borders around the map visible area.

Note that things don't work quite the same as on a real device when it comes to maps. The tiling and speed for one, and with gps on a real device, the track is drawn for you in a mapTrackView.
