Glossary
Route
The route is an ordered arrangement of the route events (the next
change in the route - right or left turns, roundabouts, and so on),
presenting them as they occur until you reach your destination. If there
is one starting point, there must be at least one destination. On startup,
the start point is the current position (or the last confirmed position). If
you need to check a route that is not currently being driven, you can
move the start point to wherever you want.
Heads-up Map Direction
Heads-up mode rotates the map so that the direction you are currently
traveling is always at the top of the map. This is the default direction in
3D map display mode. Also see “North Up Map Direction”.
Glossary
To enhance your enjoyment of this pr oduct, please familiarize yourself
with the following terms. • GPS (Global Positioning System)
GPS is a system that detects the current location (latitude, longitude,
altitude) by receiving radio waves fr om 4 or more GPS satellites in
normal situations, or sometimes from 3 satellites.
These satellites are launched and managed by the US Department of
Defense mainly for military use, bu t they are also open for private
use. This unit performs navigati on using GPS information, various
sensors, and road map data.

Further Information
NOTE•Because the GPS satellite is in orbit around the earth, the reception status for
the electromagnetic waves changes depend ing on their position at that point
in time, even if your vehicle is in th e same place. Also, electromagnetic-waves
from satellites near the horizon can be easily influenced by surrounding
obstacles.
• At times, satellites under the control of the US Department of Defence will
intentionally drop positioning accuracy.
Regarding Errors in Current Position Display
The system displays the vehicle current position based on GPS
information and data from various sensors and road maps. However,
when the radiowave signals from GPS satellites are weak or when
signals are received only from two sate llites or less, errors may occur in
the position. Modifying or adjusting the system will not prevent these
errors.
• In underground buil dings and indoor
parking lots • In places with a lot of overgrown
trees and so on
• Under elevated roads • Roads at the base of cliffs and caves

Further Information
Regarding Roads and Place Name Data
Because road and place names may change after the map data has
been created, there may be times when road and place names do not
match.
When no information is available in the map data, function such as
display of road names, searching for facilities, and route guidance
cannot be used.
When maps are created, land surv eys are conducted and information
about roads improvement and opening is collected to provide the
most accurate information possible. However, modifications in roads,
place names and facilities may be carried out at any time.
Consequently, we cannot guarantee that map data contains no errors
in road positions, configuration and names, or in facility names.
The navigation system includes a func tion to read out names of roads,
intersections, and so on during guidance.
Depending on the selected language , names read out by the system
may not be exactly accurate due to missing information in map data.
Regarding Route Navigation
• It may deviate from the route
navigation when there is a turn at an
intersection etc., and a mistake in the
voice navigation. • When searching for the route, it may
take the long way around.
• The route may need you to make a U-urn during navigation. • When driving on a straight road,
information may be displayed
indicating that you should go
straight ahead. ( When the
intersection shape is not clear and so
on.)
In six tenthsof a mile,
right turm.

Further Information
•Performing a new search while tr aveling at high speeds may take
some time.
• The route may not change even af ter performing another search.
• When isolated locations or road s with no surrounding available
information are set as the current position/destination, you may not
be able to search for a route.
• A route may not be displayed when the current position is close to
the destination.
• Even if you select toll roads as a priority, the route may not guide you
through a toll road.
In a similar way, toll roads may be displayed even if you prioritize
other roads over toll roads.
( When it is possible to select a toll road or a normal road to create
the route, priority is given to the user's toll road preference - use toll
roads, or avoid toll roads.)
• The navigation may not indicate that
the road curves at an intersection. • The navigation may guide you back
to a waypoint if you search for the
route again after passing the
waypoint and are heading to your
destination.
• Many place names may be displayed when navigating a district. • Always drive by following the actual
traffic regulations.
• When searching for a route, it may not be displayed quick enough for the next
left or right turn.
