Displaying a Simulation of the Route
You can run a simulation of the route currently being
navigated. Follow the steps below to use the initial settings
screen.
1If the Map screen is displayed, touch (Menu) to
return to the navigation menu.
2Touch (My Route) on the navigation menu.
3Touch (More).
4Scroll down through the list, and then touch (Simulate Navigation). The simulation
begins from the start point and works through the entire
route at the recommended speed.
5(Optional) You can use the following buttons during the
simulation (although the control buttons disappear after
a few seconds, you can touch the map to show them
again).

Voice Control Navigation
By using the voice control system (voice input microphone
and button), you can set the destination by giving voice
commands. This enables you to use functions that are usually
inoperable while driving.
1By using the voice recognition button you can use voice
commands to operate the navigation. (See Page 288.)
2When using voice commands to operate the navigation,
a command list is displayed.
3Voice a command after the “beep”. From then on, you
can give voice commands that are displayed on the
command list to set the destination in the same manner.
• Voice control navigation can be interrupted by touching the
microphone icon on the screen. When the icon is touched, the
screen background color changes (green  blue). To resume
navigation voice control, touc h the microphone icon again.
The differences in background colors are explained below.
- Command standby screen (green): This is the voice control command standby screen. When this
screen is displayed, you ca n speak a command to perform
navigation control. You can also perform control by directly
touching the commands that ar e displayed on the screen.
- Manual mode screen (blue): This screen appears when voice control is interrupted. You can
perform control by directly touching the commands that are
displayed on the screen.
- Talkback screen (yellow): This screen appears while the talkback voice is being played
when a command is recognized.
- Command recognition failed screen (red): This screen appears when command recognition failed.

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
27.), 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 27.), the view changes at
the set time. Also, when set to “None” (See Page 28.), 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 150.)
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 159 for detailed information on Route
settings.

Reference Data
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.

Reference Data
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 158.) 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.
