1 Warnings and Safety information

The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with a connected GPS receiver. The software does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.

It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate your software before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure and stop if you need to change the route.

You must obey the traffic signs and follow the road geometry. If you deviate from the recommended route, your software changes the instructions accordingly.

6

2 Getting started

When using the navigation software for the first time, an initial setup process starts automatically. Do as follows:

1.Select the written language of the application interface. Later you can change it in Regional settings (page 81).

2.Read the End User License Agreement. Tap to continue.

3.The Configuration wizard starts. Tap to continue.

4.Select the language and speaker used for voice guidance messages. Later you can change it in Sound and Warnings settings (page 81).

5.If needed, modify the time format and unit settings. Later you can change them in Regional settings (page 81).

7

6.If needed, modify the default route planning options. Later you can change them in Route settings (page 74).

7.The initial setup is now complete. The Configuration wizard can be restarted later from the Settings menu (page 70).

After the initial setup, the Map screen appears and you can start using the software.

2.1 Buttons and other controls on the screen

When you are using the software, you usually tap buttons on the touch screen.

You only need to confirm selections or changes if the application needs to restart, it needs to perform a major reconfiguration, or you are about to lose some of your data or settings. Otherwise, the software saves your selections and applies the new settings without confirmation as soon as you use the controls.

2.2Map screen

2.2.1Navigating on the map

The Map screen is the most frequently used screen of the software.

It shows the current position (the Vehimarker, a blue arrow by default), the recommended route (an orange line), and the surrounding map area.

The application starts with a full screen map. Tap to reduce the map size to half and allow information from your Alpine unit audio system to appear on the other half. You can decide which side of the map is the navigation. Simply tap the audio part and drag it to the other side of the screen.

When there is no GPS position, the Vehimarker is transparent. It shows your last known position.

You see colored dots circling around a satellite symbol in the top left corner. The more green dots you see, the closer you are to get the valid GPS position.

11

Alpine INE-NAV-30, INE-NAV-38, INE-S920HD, INE-Z928HD User Manual

When GPS position is available, the Vehimarker is displayed in full color, now showing your current position.

There are screen buttons and data fields on the screen to help you navigate. During navigation, the screen shows route information.

Two data fields are displayed on the left.

The data fields are different when you are navigating an active route and when you have no specified destination (the orange line is not displayed).

There are no data fields without a given destination.

Default data fields when navigating a route (tap any of the fields to change its value):

Field

Description

Shows the distance you need to travel on the route before reaching your final destination.

Shows the time needed to reach the final destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route.

If your device is capable of receiving live traffic information, the calculation takes into account traffic delays affecting your route if they are received. However, this calculation is rarely accurate.

Historical traffic data can also be taken into account if data is available.

There are three map view modes. Tap the button below the data fields to change the view:

12

: 3D perspective view rotated in your direction of travel.

: 2D top-down view facing North.

: 2D top-down view rotated in your direction of travel.

13

2.2.2Position markers

2.2.2.1Vehimarker and Lock-on-Road

When your GPS position is available, the software marks your current position with the Vehimarker. By default, this marker is a blue arrow, but you can change this icon in Settings.

When on-road navigation is selected, the Vehimarker may not show your exact GPS position and heading. If roads are near, it is aligned to the nearest road to suppress GPS position errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of the road.

If you select off-road navigation: The Vehimarker is at your exact GPS position. The direction of the icon shows your current heading.

2.2.2.2 Selected map location (Cursor) and selected map object

You can mark a map location in the following ways:

Tap the map when navigating,

Tap the map when you are asked to confirm the destination at the end of a search, or

Tap the map in Find on Map (page 49)

When a map location is selected, the Cursor appears at the selected point on the map. The Cursor is

displayed with a radiating red dot () to make it visible at all zoom levels.

The location of the Cursor can be used as the destination of the route, a new alert point, you can search for Places around it, or you can save this location as one of your Favorite destinations.

You can also select some of the objects on the map. If you tap the map at the icon of a Place of Interest or an alert point, the object will be selected (you see a red circling border around the object), and you can get information about this object or use it as a route point.

2.2.3Objects on the map

2.2.3.1Streets and roads

The software shows the streets in a way that is similar to how the paper road maps show them. Their width and colors correspond to their importance: you can easily tell a freeway from a small street.

14

2.2.3.2 Turn preview and Next street

When navigating a route, the top section of the Map screen shows information about the next route event (maneuver) and the next street or the next city/town.

There is a field in the top left corner that displays the next maneuver. Both the type of the event (turn, traffic circle, exiting freeway, etc.) and its distance from the current position are displayed.

Most of these icons are very intuitive. The following table lists some of the frequently shown route events.

Tap the Next street field to open the Itinerary.

2.2.3.3 Lane information and Signposts

When navigating on multilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the recommended route. If lane information is available in the map data, the software displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the top of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lanes you need to take.

Where additional information is available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are displayed at the top of the map. The color and style of the signposts are similar to the real ones you can see above road or by the roadside. They show the available destinations and the number of the road the lane leads to.

All signposts look similar when cruising (when there is no recommended route). When navigating a route, only the signpost that points to the lane(s) to be taken is displayed in vivid colors; all others are darker.

If you want to hide the currently displayed signposts, tap any of them and the normal Map screen returns until new signpost information is received.

This feature can be turned off in Visual Guidance settings.

2.2.3.4 Junction view

If you are approaching a freeway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. The lanes you need to take are displayed with arrows. Signposts can also be present if information is available.

If you want to hide the currently displayed junction, tap the picture and the Map screen returns.

16

This feature can be turned off in Visual Guidance settings.

2.2.3.5 Freeway exit services

You may need a gas station or a restaurant during your journey. This feature displays a new button on the map when you are driving on freeways.

Tap this button to open a panel with the details of the next few exits or service stations.

Tap any of them to display it on the map and add it as a waypoint to your route if needed.

If you want to display other types of Places for the exits, you can change the icons in Visual Guidance settings (page 79).

2.2.3.6 3D object types

Your software supports the following 3D object types:

Type

Description

 

 

3D terrain

3D terrain map data shows changes in terrain, elevations or depressions in the land

 

when you view the map in 2D, and use it to plot the route map in 3D when you

 

navigate. Hills and mountains are shown in the background of the 3D map, and

 

illustrated by color and shading on the 2D map.

 

 

Elevated roads

Complex intersections and vertically isolated roads (such as overpasses or bridges)

 

 

are displayed in 3D.

 

 

3D landmarks

Landmarks are 3D artistic or block representations of prominent or well-known

 

objects.
