4.1 Concepts
4.1.1 Smart Zoom
Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:
•
While following a route: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the
view angle to let you easily recognize your maneuver at the next junction. If the
next turn is at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to be flat so
you can see the road in front of you.
•
While driving without an active route: Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive
slowly and zoom out when you drive at high speed.
•
Off: Turns the Smart Zoom setting of

4.1.2 Route
calculation and recalculation
The navigation system calculates the route based on your preferences:
•
Route planning methods: •
: Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed limit
on all roads.
•
: Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible
routes.
•
: This method combines the merits of the Fast and Short
routes: The navigation system makes a calculation for the Fast route,
but it also includes other roads in the calculation in consideration of fuel
economy.
•
: Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult maneuvers.
With this option, you can make the navigation system take, for example,
the highway/freeway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.

Whenever data exist, route calculation takes into account historical traffic data for
the given day of week and time of day (page 78).
If the setting for Traffic Settings is valid, Real-time Traffic events are taken into
account and the route is largely modified.
The navigation system automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from
the proposed itinerary or if a newly received Traffic event concerns a part of the
recommended route.
For further information about Route Settings see page 82.
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.

4.1.4 Speed limit warning (Only some countries and regions)
Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the roads. The navigation
system is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not
be available for your region (ask your local dealer), or may not be fully correct for
all roads on the map.
Except
vehicles with Active Driving Display (Windshield type)
The speed warning can be set from the Warning Settings (page 80).
Setting can be selected using

Warning Settings:
•
Audio warning: You will hear a warning beep if you exceed the speed limit by a
certain percentage.
•
Visual warning (other than vehicles with Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)):
If you exceed the speed limit on a road, the speed limit for the current road is
shown on the map.
•
Visual warning (vehicles with Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)): If you
exceed the speed limit on a road, the speed limit for the current road is shown in
the active driving display

.
You can also choose to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time.

4.1.5
Traffic information in route planning (Only some countries and regions)
The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Offline
historical traffic information (historical speed information or traffic patterns) can be
taken into account in the route calculation based on the time of day and the day of
week whenever suitable data exists.
Select
after selecting on the MAP screen to display the historical traffic
information on the map. A 2D map is displayed with road segments colored by the
density of the traffic in the given period. The current information is shown when
you open the screen. Modify the day of week and the time of day to see the desired
period.
4.1.5.1 Historical traffic
If historical traffic information is available with the map data, the navigation system
can use it when planning a route. In normal cases, these statistics help you avoid
usual traffic jams on the given day of week in the given hour but in some cases like
on public holidays that fall on normal weekdays, they can be misleading. You can
disable this feature in Traffic Settings (page 81).
Select
after selecting on the MAP screen to display the historical traffic
information on the map.

4.2.3 Traffic Settings
ButtonDescription
Use this switch to enable or disable historical
traffic data and traffic patterns. This locally
stored information can be very useful in normal
circumstances but for example on public
holidays it may be better to turn off in order
not to take into account normal weekday traffic
jams.
Alternative routes are offered for detours.
An appropriate alternative route is determined
provided by the navigation system in
consideration of traffic conditions.
You can select how much time delay on the
alternative route you are willing to accept.
The alternative route is offered based on the set
time.
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.

4.2.4 Route
Settings
These settings determine how routes will be calculated.
Button
Description
The route calculation can be optimized for
different situations. See below for details.
You might need to avoid highways/freeways if
you are towing another vehicle.
Charge roads are pay roads where you can
purchase a pass or vignette to use the road for
a longer period of time. They can be enabled or
disabled separately from toll roads.
The navigation system includes toll roads (pay
roads where there is a per-use charge) in the
routes by default. If you disable toll roads, the
navigation system plans the best toll-free route.
The navigation system includes ferries in a
planned route by default. However, a map does
not necessarily contain information about the
accessibility of temporary ferries. You might
also need to pay a fare on ferries.
Setting in which routes with carpool lanes can
be created or not created.
A border crossing may be a shorter route
depending on the route. For this function, you
can select whether or not to cross a border when
planning the route.
The navigation system excludes unpaved roads
by default: unpaved roads can be in a bad
condition and usually you cannot reach the
speed limit on them.
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.

5 Glossary
Active route
The currently navigated route. Whenever a destination is set, the route is active until
you delete it or reach your destination. See also: Route.
City
Center
The city center is not the geometric center of the city but an arbitrary point the
map creators have chosen. In cities and villages, it is usually the most important
intersection; in larger cities, it is one of the important intersections.
Color
theme
The navigation system has different color themes for daytime and nighttime which
can be selected as desired.
One daytime scheme and one nighttime scheme is always selected for the map and
for the menus.
The navigation system uses them when it switches from day to night and back.
GPS
accuracy
Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position and the one
given by the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting
objects near the GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately
the GPS device can calculate your position.

the GPS device can calculate your position.
Map
The navigation system works with digital maps which are not simply the
computerized versions of traditional paper maps. Similarly to paper road maps, the
2D mode of digital maps show you streets, roads, and elevation by colors.
In 3D mode, you can see the altitude differences, for example valleys and
mountains, elevated roads, and in selected cities 3D landmarks and 3D buildings are
also displayed.
You can use digital maps interactively: you can zoom in and out (increase or
decrease the scale), you can tilt them up and down, and rotate them left and right. In
GPS-supported navigation, digital maps facilitate route planning.
North-up
map orientation
In North-up mode the map is rotated so its top always faces North. This is the
orientation for example in Find on Map.
Road
Safety Camera
This function is not available in some countries and regions.
Special alert points for speed, red light or bus lane cameras. Dif ferent data sources
are available. You can configure the navigation system to warn you when you
approach one of these cameras.
Detecting the location of Road Safety Cameras is prohibited in certain countries.
It is the sole responsibility of the driver to check whether this feature can be used
during the trip.
The software is capable of showing and warning for more than just cameras. Various
other types of proximity alert points like school zones and railway crossings are also
available.
Route

A sequence of maneuvers (for example, turns and roundabouts) to reach the
destination. The route contains one start point and one or more destinations.
Track-up
map orientation
In Track-up mode the map is rotated so its top always points in the current driving
direction. This is the default orientation in 3D map view mode.
V

ehicle
marker
The current position is indicated by a blue arrow on the map. The direction the blue
arrow is pointed indicates the current heading.
