Tra f f i c
Sets On/Off of traffic information display and the method to use the
received real-time traffic information on route search.
• ( Traffic Receiver):
Turns on or off the traffic information display.
• (Detour):
Set to use real-time traffic information when searching for a route.
When searching for a new route, or when it is necessary to search
again based on the traffic information received, it searches for merits
to avoiding the current traffic conditions.
Set so that confirmation is needed every time you perform another
search by delaying the timing when the search is remade.
- (Never offer detour):
When this button is touched, routes that do not satisfy traffic conditions are
not searched.
- (Offer detour if
the calculated route saves more than:):
When this button is touched, routes that satisfy traffic conditions are
searched.
Time slider:
Adjust the timing before starting another route search. (You can set 0 to 60
every 5 minutes)
- (Do you want to confirm
the offered route?):
You can turn the route confirmation display on or off for each new search.
• (Event Types):
Touch this button to open a list of types of traffic conditions, and
select the events to take into consideration when searching for a
route.

Route Settings
Sets the route search method.
• (Vehicle):
Sets various factors to take into account when performing a search,
such as fuel consumption, vehicle model, fuel costs, and maximum
speeds on normal roads and expressways.
• (Navigation Mode):
You can change between On-road and Off-road.
Set to On-road to perform normal navigation, or set to Off-road to
navigate using the straightest possible route to the destination.
• (Route Planning Method):
By changing the route search method, you can search for the
optimum route for a variety of situations and types of vehicle. See
the following items for more details.
You can set which road categories to include or to avoid in the route to
match the user's preferences.
Avoiding a road category is simply a matter of changing the priority
level. This does not mean that the selected road category will never be
used. If the navigation cannot reach the destination without using a
road category that should be avoided, the road category will be used,
but only as little as possible. If this does happen, a warning icon is
displayed on the My Route screen.In the road category list you can check the number of sections used for
each road category on the current route and the overall distance.
• (Highways):
Select whether or not to use the expressway when creating the
route.
• (Period Charge):
Select whether or not to use toll roads (Period Charge) when
creating the route.
• (Per-use Toll):
Select whether or not to use toll roads (Per-use Toll) when creating
the route.
• (Ferries):
Select whether or not to use ferries when creating the route.
(However, ferries might not always be selected for the route.)
However, information on temporary service ferries may not be
displayed on the map. There may be a fee for using the ferry.
•:
Select whether or not to use Carpool/HOV lanes when creating the
route.
• (Unpaved Roads):
Select whether or not to use unpaved roads when creating the
route.

• (Calculate Green Alternative):
Select whether or not to consider energy efficiency when creating
the route.
Type of route search method:
- (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 distance 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.
Map Settings
Fine tunes the Map screen appearance. Performs adjustments for your
selected map display, selects from a list of color designs used for
daytime and nighttime, turns the path log on or off, and manages the
spot display categories (allows you to select the type of spot displayed
on the map).
Because the map is displayed on the screen, you can check the results
as you change settings.
• ( View Mode 3D):
Select the display mode from a 3D bird's-eye view, a 2D heads-up flat
view, or a 2D North Up flat view.
• ( Viewpoint Normal):
You can adjust the standard zoom and the angle of tilt to suit your
needs. You can set the level in three stages.
• (Automatic Overview):
Automatically reduces the scale of the 2D map to display the entire
route. You can turn this function on and off.

• (Day Map Color):
Select the screen color used in daytime mode.
• (Night Map Color):
Select the screen color used in nighttime mode.• ( Track Logs):
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
spot displays saved previously. You can also restore the default display
settings.

• (Data Fields):
You can set the data fields displayed 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

to the left of the map. This shows the progress made on the current
route. When a blue arrow is used to indicate position, the arrow
continues to rise as you drive towards your destination. Waypoints
and traffic conditions are displayed on the line.

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”.
