Map Screen
Navigating on the Map
In the navigation menu startup screen, the currently active map is
reduced and displayed in (Show Map).
To enlarge the map, touch (Show Map) to open the Map
screen.
This map shows the current position (shown as the vehicle marked as a
blue arrow), recommended routes (orange lines), and the immediate
surrounding area.
When GPS positioning is not active, the vehicle marker is clear. The
latest confirmed position is displayed. Colored spots are displayed on the circle around the satellite icon in the
top left corner. The more spots ther
e are on the circle, the higher the
accuracy of the GPS positioning.
When GPS positioning is active, th e vehicle marker is displayed in
full-color, and the current position is shown.

Buttons and data fields are displayed on the screen, and you can
perform navigation. During navigati on, route information is displayed
on the screen.
The data fields display differs wh en no destination is set during
navigation (no orange line is displayed). When performing navigation,
the number of the data fields displa yed on the screen is three. Up to
two data fields can be displayed when no destination is set (no orange
line is displayed). Default data fields when no de
stination is set while driving
Default data fields when performing navigation (you can change the
values in fields by using touch & hold):
Field Explanation
(Altitude) Shows the altitude of the road currently being
driven and measured by the GPS receiver.
( There may be a maximum ±50 m of differences
depending on the rece
ption status of GPS
satellites.)
(Time) Displays the current time corrected using the
time zone offset. Accurate
time is acquired from
the GPS satellite, while ti me zone information is
acquired from the map. You can also make
manual settings in Units and Formats.
(Only for the Menu screen, the current time is
shown in the bottom left corner of the screen.)
Field Explanation
(Distance)* Displays the distance on
the route to the final
destination.
(Time Left) Displays the time left un
til arrival at the final
destination based on th e information available
for the remainder of the journey. This is
calculated according to prior traffic data or
traffic patterns when ever available.
If a TMC receiver is connected to the main unit
and is receiving data, an y traffic jams along the
route are also factored into calculations.
However, the accuracy of these calculations
varies greatly.

* Time and distance to the destination cannot be displayed when your vehicle is located in the place other than roads and Highways. After the vehicle returns
to a road or Highway, time and distance are displayed.
Position Marker
■Vehicle Marker and Lock-on-Road
If GPS positioning is available, the current position is shown using the
vehicle marker. • When any vehicle is selected, the vehicle marker may not display an
accurate GPS position and direction of travel. If there is a road nearby,
the GPS positioning error is corrected based on the shortest distance
to the road to, and the direction of the icon is adjusted to match the
direction of the road.
■ Selected map location (cursor)
Use one of the following methods to mark a map location.
• Touch the map during navigation.
• Touch the map when the destinatio n you want is displayed in the
search results.
• Touch the map in “Find on Map”. (See Page 128.)
After selecting a map location, a cu rsor is displayed at the point
selected on the map. The cursor is displayed as a red point ( ) and can
be checked at all zoom levels.
You can use the cursor's position as the route's destination, search for
locations around the cursor, and save the position in the destination list.
(Arrival
Time)* Displays the estimated arrival time at the final
destination based on the information available
for the remainder of th
e journey. This is
calculated according to prior traffic data or
traffic patterns when ever available.
If a TMC receiver is conn ected to the main unit
and is receiving data, any traffic jams along the
route are also factored into calculations.
However, the accuracy of these calculations
varies greatly.
(Time) Displays the current time corrected using the
time zone offset. Accurate time is acquired from
the GPS satellite, while time zone information is
acquired from the map. You can also make
manual settings in Units and Formats.
(Only for the Menu screen, the current time is
shown in the bottom left
corner of the screen.)
(Altitude) Shows the altitude of the road currently being
driven and measured by the GPS receiver.
( There may be a maximum ±50 m of differences
depending on the reception status of GPS
satellites.)

■Direction display
If no destination is set while driving, the direction is shown on the
screen in heads-up display.
Each letter indicates a direction: N (N orth), NE (North East), E (East), SE
(South East), S (South), SW (South West), W ( West), and NW (North
West). However, this is not displa yed while driving on an expressway.
■Advanced confirmation of route changes and next road
During navigation, information on the next route event (the next
change in the route), as well as the next city or town, is displayed at the
top of the Map screen.
The next change in the route is displayed in the field at the top left
corner of the screen. Displays the type of route event (right or left turn,
roundabout, expressway interchange, and so on) and the distance from
the current position.
When the next route change approaches, the type of route change is
displayed as a small icon next to the main icon. Only the next route
change is displayed.

Most of these icons can be understood intuitively. The following table
shows the most frequently displayed route events. The symbol design is
the same in each field.■ Lane information & signs
When using route guidance on roads with two or more lanes, it is
important that you drive in the corr ect lane. When lane information is
available on the Map, the lane and direction are indicated below the
map with small arrows. The lane that you should drive in is highlighted.
When detailed information is avai lable, the arrows are removed and
signs are displayed. Signs are displayed at the top of the map. The color
and design of the signs is the same as signs actually found at the side of
the road or overhead signs. These signs show the district and the route
number for the lane direction.

All signs are displayed in the same manner even when driving without
using the navigation system. During navigation, only the sign that
shows the lane in which you should dr ive is highlighted, the other signs
are toned down.
■ Junction display
When approaching an expressway ex it or a complicated intersection,
the map switches to a 3D display if the necessary information can be
displayed. An arrow indicates the lane in which you should drive. Signs
are also displayed if the information is available.
■Types of 3D Objects
The following 3D object types are supported.
Type Explanation
3D Topography On a 2D map, the changes in topography or
undulations in the ground are displayed; and
when using 3D this data is used to create a
route map image during navigation. On a 3D
map, hills and mountains are displayed in the
background, whilst on a 2D map they are
expressed using changes in color and shading.
Elevated Roads Complicated intersections and three
dimensional road objects (such as overpasses or
overhead bridges) ar e displayed in 3D.
