When a destination is input, the navigation system quickly calculates a route and guides you along the route with pictorial displays and voice prompts. Waypoints 2 You specify points you wish to pass by along the way to your destination and they are indicated with the waypoint icons in the display. waypoint icon Present vehicle position The navigation system integrates the GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) signals received and the map information stored on the DVD ROM to display the position and direction of the vehicle. The system also includes a gyroscope and a speed sensor that enable it to display the present position even in locations where the GPS signal may be blocked. Present vehicle position Memory points Locations you go to frequently can be stored into memory and marked on the map. The system can store up to 200 points, including your home. You can add icons at the memory points so that the system displays the icons too on the map. Memory point mark Motorway-preference selection Map matching Since GPS navigation has an error of 100 ­ 655 feet (30 m ­ 200 m), the position of your vehicle may be displayed off the road. Map matching automatically corrects this error so that the position of your vehicle is displayed on the road. When searching for routes with the navigation system, you can switch between searching for routes that give priority to motorways and those that give priority to ordinary roads. When you specify motorway preference, the navigation system automatically searches for a route that gives priority to motorways and guides you along that route. Uncorrected Corrected Destination The point on the map that is your destination is specified and displayed with the destination icon. Destination mark Tracking The tracks indicate the roads you have driven over with blue dots. There is a limit on the amount of memory available for storing your tracks (up to 31 miles/50 km). When you exceed this memory capacity, the tracks are erased starting from the earliest portion. Track Route When a destination is input, the navigation system automatically calculates a route and displays it in blue on the map. Route (Blue) 8 Features · Automatic Route Calculation Just select the destination and your navigation system does the rest, automatically searching for the route you need. When searching for the route, you can select the route that gives priority to motorways or ordinary roads. · Traffic-Circle Turn Guidance At a traffic circle, the system guides you where to turn by indicating the road number starting with the entered road. · Map Zooming You can change the map display in 13 magnification scales (100, 200, 400, 800, 1.6K, 3.2K, 6.4K, 12K, 25K, 50K, 100K, 200K and 400K metres) to show more detailed or wider views. Preface · Real Time Voice Guide A voice guide informs you of the distance and direction until your course changes, giving advice timed to match road conditions. The VOICE button lets you call up the voice guide when needed by just pushing the button. · Direct Input of Name of Place of Interest Input only the name of a place of interest (without inputting the city name) to search for the route to the place of interest. · Alternate Route Setting Two types of route settings: 1. Quick setting of alternate routes when traffic flow is obstructed. 2. Distance for alternate roundabout route can be selected by driver (within 0.6 to 3 miles or 1 to 5 km). · Direct Input of Street Name Just input the street name (no need to input the city name) to search for the route to the street. · Sequence of Waypoints Can Be Changed (Today's Plan) Your navigation system can automatically sort the sequence of the waypoints in order of distance starting with the nearest waypoint. Or, you can manually change the sequence of the waypoints in any order as you like. · Automatic Border Point Calculation When you travel crossing the map border, the navigation system automatically chooses an appropriate border point to pass through when you set your destination. To select a destination that is located outside of the map border, select the desired country from the "country selection" menu. For details, see page 17. · Intersection Zoom As you near intersections and cross points, the map display automatically zooms in to show a more detailed view that you will need. This means there is no need to press the ZOOM buttons. · Direct Inputting of Telephone Number From the telephone number of a place of interest stored in the disk or a memory point you have stored, the system can search for the destination. · Built-in Gyroscope and Speed Sensors The gyroscope for sensing direction and the speed pulse sensor for detecting distance provide data which allows vehicle position and direction to be displayed even in locations where the GPS signal cannot be received such as between buildings or in tunnels. · Voice Guidance at an Exit or Junction on Motorways When you approach an exit or junction on the motorway, the system gives you voice guidance using the same name as shown on the road signboards. · Motorway Information Display When you travel on motorways, the basic guidance display (with an arrow) automatically shows the distances to the next fuel station/ restaurant/parking/junction (except exit). · Next Turn Guide As you approach the place where you actually have to turn, about 1000 feet (300 metres) prior to the crossroads or junction, the system informs you of which direction you have to turn with voice and picture guidance. 9 Before Using The System Before Using The System If the language has not been Rewriting operating yet (when the 2 selected the first time), system is used for the guide system programme If a different version of the map disc has been used with your navigation system, the operating system programme installed will be rewritten automatically to read this SMART MAP PRO disc. language selection menu is displayed.
