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 284.)
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 Q blue). To resume
navigation voice control, touch 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 can speak a command to perform
navigation control. You can also perform control by directly
touching the commands that are 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
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 displayed for those products.
Although the software is connected 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 (elevation 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 that could not be anticipated due to
road closures or accidents.
TMC uses a dedicated XM satellite radio 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 satellite radio stations broadcasting TMC
data are searched for automatically, 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 applying 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 set 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 received, the type of upcoming traffic
information is displayed.
Road sections affected by traffic conditions 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 been 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.
