• Touch (Along Route) to search along the route
being navigated, rather than around an optional point. This is
useful when you want to search for a gas station or restaurant
and so on along the route taking the smallest detour to get
there.
• (Optional) If you select (In a City), you can select a city/town displayed by the search.
• See “Entering an address” on Page 102 for information about
how to select a “Country or State/Province” or “City”.6By selecting a main category (such as accommodations),
or by touching (List All Places), the entire
list of spots around the position you selected or along
the route is displayed.
7By selecting a sub-category (such as hotels or motels)

You can set the data fields displaye d at the corner of the Map screen
to match your needs. Touch this button and select the guidance you
want to display. Values may differ when driving without having set a
destination in route navigation. You can select altitude and so on for
a standard trip data, or select route data related to the final
destination or the next waypoint on the route.

Displays service area information while driving on the expressway.
You can turn this function on and off.
• (Facility Types):
Touch this button and select the service area information display

When information is available, lane information similar to overhead
road traffic signs is displayed at th e top of the map. You can turn this
function on and off.
• (Junction View):
When approaching an expressway exit or a complicated intersection,
the map switches to a 3D display if the necessary information can be
displayed. •
(Route Progress Bar):
Turns on the route progress bar which is displayed as a straight line
to the left of the map. This show s the progress made on the current

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”.
