Selecting a Frequently Used Destination (Smart
History)
Destinations that have been set previously are displayed in the History
list. The two most recent destinations are displayed on the destination
menu allowing you to select them easily. Smart History uses conditions
such as the current time, date, and position, and displays a position in
response to the user's navigation habits. The more you use the
navigation system, the more accurate the anticipated destination
becomes.
1If the Map screen is displayed, touch (Menu) to
return to the navigation menu.

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.

Turns the path log save function on or off (saves in positional order
for each trip).
• (Place Markers):
Select a spot displayed on the map during navigation. We
recommend reducing the number of spots displayed as much as
possible as the map is difficult to see if there are too many spots.
Because of this, the software is designed to allow multiple spot
displays. Follow the steps below.
-Touch the check box to show or hide the spot category.
-Touch the spot category name to open a sub-category.
-Touch (More) to save the currently displayed spot position, or read

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 altitude. The GPS device may not be
able to acquire signals from four satellites as they are constantly moving
and obstacles may block satellite signals. Although the accuracy
decreases when only three signals can be acquired, and altitude data
cannot be sent, the receiver can calculate 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 navigated 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 the geographical center of the city/
town, but a location set by the cartographer. In towns and villages, this
is usually the most important intersection, while in larger cities it is
selected from multiple important intersections.
Color design
The color design used for the map and menu screens differs for daytime
and nighttime. Each design has a different graphic setting, with 2D and
3D each having colors for roads, blocks, seas, and lakes, whilst shadow
changes and shadows are displayed differently in 3D mode.
Daytime screen and nighttime screen designs for the map and menu
are selected one at a time. The design 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 ionosphere or reflections from objects
around the GPS equipment, can influence the accuracy with which the
GPS device can calculate the user's position.
Maps
Although this software uses digital 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 differences in altitude for mountains,
valleys, highland roads and so on, and display areas of cities using 3D
landmarks and 3D images of buildings.
The digital map can be used interactively. You can zoom in and out
(enlarge/reduce), tilt up and down, and rotate left and right. By using
navigation that supports GPS, you can easily plan your route with the
digital maps.
North Up Map Direction
North Up mode rotates the map so that 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”.

Audio Operations
NOTE•In some cases, it is difficult to maintain the optimum reception because the
position of the antenna on the vehicle is always changing (relative to the
station antenna), and so the strength of the received wireless signal changes
continuously. Also, obstructions such as the natural topography or the pillars
of signboards may affect the reception.
•Auto tuning may not be possible in areas where the received signal is weak.
Selecting from a preset button
1Touch a preset button saved in the memory.
• The saved preset channel is selected and the corresponding
station is received.
