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

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.

4.1.3 Road
safety cameras and other proximity alert points (Only some
countries and regions)
There is a special proximity warning for road safety cameras (like speed or red light
cameras) and other proximity alert points (like schools or railroad crossings).
The application can warn you when you approach road safety cameras like speed
cameras or dangerous areas like school zones or railroad crossings. You can set up
the dif

ferent alert types individually in Warning Settings (page 80).
The following alert types are available:
•
Audio warning: When approaching one of these points, a beep sound (regular
sound) can be used or the type of warning can be announced (TTS), and an extra
alert can warn you if you exceed the given speed limit while approaching the
point.
•
Always: The type of the alert point, its distance, and the related speed limit appear
on the Map screen while you are approaching one of these points.
For some of the alert points, the enforced or expected speed limit is available. For
these points, the audio alert can be different if you are below or above the given
speed limit.
Setting can be selected using W

arning Settings:
•
Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you exceed the given
speed limit.
•
When approaching: The audio alert is always played when approaching one of
these alert points. To draw you attention, the alert may dif
fer if you exceed the
speed limit.
The warning for road safety cameras is disabled when you are in a country where
road safety camera warning is prohibited. However, you must ensure on your own
liability that using this feature is legal in the country where you intend to use it.

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

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.
