Route Search/Search Again
You can search for routes to suit your preferences.
Route search methods:• (Fast):
Searches all roads for the quickest route following the speed limits of
the roads.
• (Green):
Searches for the route that conserves the most energy, taking into
account the merits of “Fast” and “Short”.
• (Short):
Searches for the shortest distan ce in all possible routes.
• (Easy):
Searches for a route that is easiest to drive, with few right and left
turns. Using this option, the program allows you to avoid
combinations of smaller roads and to take the expressway. Search for a route by using or avoiding certain road categories:
• (Highways)
• (Period Charge)
• (Per-use Toll)
• (Ferries)
•
• (Unpaved Roads)
• (Calculate Green Alternative)
The route may change drastically when real time traffic conditions are
factored in. (See Page 161.)
If you leave the route that was searched for based on your current
position, and new information is re ceived regarding traffic conditions
for the recommended route, the software automatically searches for
another route.
See “Route Settings” on Page 171 for detailed information on Route
settings.

GPS Positioning Quality Indicator
The GPS reception quality icon at the top right of the menu screen
indicates the current accuracy of positional information.
Online Road Information Saved in Route Search
This unit can provide you with even better routes, if real-time traffic
information ( TMC: Traffic Message Channel) is available.
If public traffic data is broadcast at your location, this unit automatically
takes into account the traffic data received. You do not need to set
anything in the program. The decoded information will immediately be
used in route planning. The moment unit receives traffic information
that may affect your route, the program recalculates the route, and this
unit will continue with a new route that is optimal based on the most
up-to-date traffic conditions.
Icon Explanation
The software is not connected to the GPS receiver. Cannot
perform GPS navigation.
Products with a built-in GPS receiver are always connected. This
icon is not normally disp layed for those products.
Although the software is connecte d to the GPS receiver, the signal
is too weak to measure the GPS.
Cannot perform GPS navigation.
Only a few satellites are transmitting. Positional information is
available, but altitude (elevati on above sea level) cannot be
calculated.
GPS navigation is possible, but large positional errors may occur.
Elevation above sea level is available, and measurements can be
performed in 3D.
GPS navigation is available.

Real-time traffic information (TMC)
TMC ( Traffic Message Channel) offers real-time traffic conditions. This
can help you to avoid traffic jams th at could not be anticipated due to
road closures or accidents.
TMC uses a dedicated XM satellite ra dio to broadcast real-time traffic
information.
The default settings use traffic information when searching for a route.
If traffic data normally broadcast in your region can be accessed, this
received information is automatically taken into account. This does not
need to be manually set. XM sate llite radio stations broadcasting TMC
data are searched for automatica lly, and decoded information is
immediately used to search for routes . If traffic information that might
affect the current route is received , a warning is displayed indicating
that the route will be searched for again, and navigation continues
using a new, optimal route taking into account the latest traffic
conditions.
By delaying the timing before applying a route that has been searched
again, the user can check the route and fine-tune the details creating
the optimal search results. You can se t this from Traffic settings. (See
Page 170.) When traffic information is being received, a special icon ( ) is
displayed on the map. When there is no traffic information available for
the route, this icon indicates the status of the traffic information
receiver, and when information is rece
ived, the type of upcoming traffic
information is displayed.
Road sections affected by traffic co nditions are displayed in a different
color on the map, and a small icon representing the type of traffic
condition is displayed above the road.
Touch to display the Traffic Summary screen.
