Route Search/Search Again
You can search for routes to suit your preferences.
Route search methods:•  (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 distan ce 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. Search for a route by using or avoiding certain road categories:
•  (Highways)
•  (Period Charge)
•  (Per-use Toll)
•  (Ferries)
•
•  (Unpaved Roads)
•  (Calculate Green Alternative)
The route may change drastically when  real time traffic conditions are 
factored in. (See Page  161.)
If you leave the route that was searched for based on your current 
position, and new information is re ceived regarding traffic conditions 
for the recommended route, the software automatically searches for 
another route.
See “Route Settings” on Page  171 for detailed information on Route 
settings.

GPS Positioning Quality Indicator
The GPS reception quality icon at the top right of the menu screen 
indicates the current accuracy of positional information.
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.
