Reference Data
The following pages explain the software's various features and menu screens.
Feature
Smart Zoom
Smart zoom offers a large improvement over standard zoom functions.
• While driving the route: When approaching an intersection, the
screen is enlarged and the viewpoint raised so that you can easily
see which way to drive at the next intersection. After navigating the
intersection, the screen is reduced and the angle lowered to check
the road in front.
• When driving without route navigation: The screen is enlarged as
you slow down and reduced as you speed up.
Switching between Day and Night Screens
For the Map screen and menu screen, the colors differ between day and
night. • During daytime, the screen's colo rs are the same as those of a
printed map, and the menu is brighter.
• At night, the screen uses dark co lors for large objects and reduces
the overall brightness of the screen.
The screen's color scheme differs be tween day and night. When Link to
Day/Night View on the Settings screen is set to “Headlight” (See Page
28.), day view or night vi ew is selected based on whether the lights
(sidelights, tail lights, license plate light) are on or off, to make it easier to
view the screen. When “Time” is set (See Page 28.), the view changes at
the set time. Also, when set to “None” (See Page 29.), you can manually
switch to a day view or a night view screen at any time.

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 152.)
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 161 for detailed information on Route
settings.

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 applyi ng 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 160.) 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.
When the traffic information has be en received, the icon displayed
on the screen changes to the icon.
To check traffic conditions outside the display, touch . The Traffic
Summary screen is displayed.

the map in the color selected. You can use the path log for
other purposes by exporting it as a GPX file.
• (Help): Displays a tutorial allowing for a quick grasp of the software's
functions, and starts a demons tration showing a sample route
simulation to check the navigation functions. The About
section displays product information. Here you can view the

Glossary
2D/3D GPS reception
The GPS receiver uses signals from satellites to calculate its current
position (the user's position), but to acquire a 3D position at least four
signals are necessary, including alti tude. The GPS device may not be
able to acquire signals from four sate llites as they are constantly moving
and obstacles may block satellite signals. Although the accuracy
decreases when only three signals ca n be acquired, and altitude data
cannot be sent, the receiver can ca lculate a latitude and longitude GPS
position. Only 2D reception is possible.
Route being navigated
The route currently being navigated. When a destination is set, the
route will be continuously navigate d until the destination is deleted,
you arrive at the destination, or the software is closed. Also see “Route”.
City center
The center of the city/town is not th e geographical center of the city/
town, but a location set by the cartog rapher. In towns and villages, this
is usually the most important intersec tion, while in larger cities it is
selected from multiple important intersections.
Color design
The color design used for the map an d menu screens differs for daytime
and nighttime. Each design has a different graphic setting, with 2D and
3D each having colors for roads, bl ocks, seas, and lakes, whilst shadow
changes and shadows are displayed differently in 3D mode.
Daytime screen and nighttime scr een designs for the map and menu
are selected one at a time. The desi gn changes automatically when day
becomes night and night becomes day. GPS accuracy
Various factors can contribute to a margin of error between the user's
actual position and the position
acquired from the GPS device. For
example, signal delays in the iono sphere or reflections from objects
around the GPS equipment, can infl uence the accuracy with which the
GPS device can calculate the user's position.
Maps
Although this software uses digita l maps, these are not simply digital
conversions from printed maps. The 2D mode digital map represents
roads in the same way as a traditional printed map, using color
classifications to show streets, roads, and changes in altitude.
In 3D mode, you can confirm differ ences in altitude for mountains,
valleys, highland roads and so on, an d display areas of cities using 3D
landmarks and 3D images of buildings.
The digital map can be used intera ctively. You can zoom in and out
(enlarge/reduce), tilt up and down, an d rotate left and right. By using
navigation that supports GPS, you ca n easily plan your route with the
digital maps.
North Up Map Direction
North Up mode rotates the map so th at North is always at the top of
the map. You can use this direction with Find On Map and so on. Also
see “Heads-up Map Direction”.
