Field Explanation
 (Altitude) Shows the altitude of the road currently being 
driven and measured by the GPS receiver. 
( There may be a maximum ±50 m of differences 
depending on the rece
ption status of GPS 
satellites.)
 (Time) Displays the current time corrected using the 
time zone offset. Accurate
 time is acquired from 
the GPS satellite, while ti me zone information is 
acquired form the map. You can also make 
manual settings in Units and Formats.
(Only for the Menu screen, the current time is 
shown in the bottom left corner of the screen.)
Field Explanation
 (Distance)* Displays the distance on
 the route to the final 
destination.
 (Time Left) Displays the time left un
til arrival at the final 
destination based on th e information available 
for the remainder of the journey. This is 
calculated according to  prior traffic data or 
traffic patterns when ever available.
If a TMC receiver is connected to the main unit 
and is receiving data, an y traffic jams along the 
route are also factored into calculations. 
However, the accuracy of these calculations 
varies greatly.

* Time and distance to the destination cannot be displayed when your vehicle is located in the place other than roads and Highways. After the vehicle returns 
to a road or Highway, time  and distance are displayed.
Position Marker
■Vehicle Marker and Lock-on-Road
If GPS positioning is available, the  current position is shown using the 
vehicle marker. • When any vehicle is selected, the  vehicle marker may not display an 
accurate GPS position and direction of  travel. If there is a road nearby, 
the GPS positioning error is corrected based on the shortest distance 
to the road to, and the direction of  the icon is adjusted to match the 
direction of the road.
■ Selected map location (cursor) 
Use one of the following methods to mark a map location.
• Touch the map during navigation.
• Touch the map when the destinatio n you want is displayed in the 
search results.
• Touch the map in “Find on Map”. (See Page  136.)
After selecting a map location, a cu rsor is displayed at the point 
selected on the map. The cursor is  displayed as a red point ( ) and can 
be checked at all zoom levels.
You can use the cursor's position as  the route's destination, search for 
locations around the cursor, and save  the position in the destination list.
 (Arrival 
Time)* Displays the estimated arrival time at the final 
destination based on the information available 
for the remainder of th
e journey. This is 
calculated according to prior traffic data or 
traffic patterns when ever available.
If a TMC receiver is conn ected to the main unit 
and is receiving data, any traffic jams along the 
route are also factored into calculations. 
However, the accuracy of these calculations 
varies greatly. 
 (Time) Displays the current time corrected using the

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 disp layed for those products.
Although the software is connecte d 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 (elevati on 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 th at could not be anticipated due to 
road closures or accidents.
TMC uses a dedicated XM satellite ra dio 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 sate llite radio stations broadcasting TMC 
data are searched for automatica lly, 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 se t this from Traffic settings. (See 
Page  170.) 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 rece
ived, the type of upcoming traffic 
information is displayed.
Road sections affected by traffic co nditions are displayed in a different 
color on the map, and a small icon representing the type of traffic 
condition is displayed above the road.
Touch   to display the Traffic Summary screen.

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 ca n be acquired, and altitude data 
cannot be sent, the receiver can ca lculate 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 navigate d 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 th e geographical center of the city/
town, but a location set by the cartog rapher. In towns and villages, this 
is usually the most important intersec tion, 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 diff
erent graphic setting, with 2D and 
3D each having colors for roads, bl ocks, seas, and lakes, whilst shadow 
changes and shadows are displa yed 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 iono sphere or reflections from objects 
around the GPS equipment, can infl uence the accuracy with which the 
GPS device can calculate the user's position.
