20 There are two types of areas available for
route guidance. In one type of area, pri-
marily around metropolitan centers, de-
tailed route guidance is available for the
entire area. In the other type of area, all
roads are displayed on the map but route
guidance is limited. The navigation route
might lack precision because the data (no
right turns, one way traffic, etc.) is not
complete. It is still possible to reach the
destination by following the arrow direc-
tion and distance as shown on the bottom
left of the screen. The arrow points in the
direction of the destination. The distance
shown is as measured in a straight line
from the current vehicle position to the
destination area.
In order to provide you with as accurate map
information as possible, we are always gath-
ering information such as on road repairs and
carrying out on−site investigations. However,
the names of roads, streets, facilities, and
their locations are often changed. In some
places, construction on roads may be in pro-
gress. For that reason, information on some
areas in this system might be different from
the actual location.
