Precautions

PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION,
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
BEFORE USING THIS PROD­UCT.

This product is intended to safely pro­vide turn by turn instruction to get you
to a desired destination. Please read
the following precautions to ensure that
you use your navigation system cor­rectly.

LL

L This product is not a substitute for your

LL

personal judgment. Any route sugges­tions made by the navigation system
may never supersede any local traffic
regulations or your personal judgment
and/or knowledge of safe driving prac­tices. Do not follow route suggestions if
the navigation system instructs you to
perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver,
places you in an unsafe situation, or
routes you into an area which you con­sider unsafe.

LL

L Glance at the monitor screen only when

LL

necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged
viewing of the screen is necessary, stop
the vehicle in a safe and legal manner
and location.

LL

L Do not input destinations, change set-

LL

tings, or access any functions requiring a
prolonged view of the monitor and/or
remote control while you are driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal
manner and location before attempting
to access the system.

LL

L Do not use the navigation system to

LL

route you to emergency services. Not all
locations of emergency service provid­ers such as police and fire stations,
hospitals, and clinics are contained in
the database. Please use your own
judgment and your ability to ask for
directions in these situations.

LL

L The map database contained within the

LL

media (DVD ROM) in which it is stored
is the most recent map data available at
the time of production. Because of
changes in streets and neighbourhoods,
there may be situations where the navi­gation system may not be able to route
you to your desired destination. In these
cases, use your own personal judgment.

LL

L The map database is designed to provide

LL

you with route suggestions, it does not
take account of the relative safety of a
suggested route, or of factors which may
affect the time required to reach your
destination. The database does not reflect
road closures or construction, road char­acteristics (i.e. type of road surface, slope
or grade, weight or height restrictions,
etc.), traffic congestion, weather condi­tions, or any other factors which may
affect the safety or timing of your driving
experience. Use your personal judgment
if the navigation system is unable to
provide you with an alternate route.

2

LL

L There may be situations where the

LL

navigation system may display the
vehicle's location erroneously. Use your
own driving judgment in this situation,
taking into account of current driving
conditions. Please be aware that in this
situation, the navigation system should
correct the vehicle's position automati­cally; however, there may be times
where you may have to correct the
position yourself. If this is the case, stop
the vehicle in a safe and legal manner
and location before attempting opera­tion.

LL

L Make certain that the volume level of the

LL

monitor is set to a level which still allows
you to hear outside traffic and emergency
vehicles. Driving while unable to hear
outside sounds could cause an accident.

LL

L Please make certain that any other

LL

person who intends on using the naviga­tion system reads these precautions and
the following instructions carefully.

LL

L If there is anything in the manual which

LL

you do not understand, or are uncertain
about the operation of the navigation
system, please contact an authorized
Alpine representative before using the
navigation system.

Preface

Navigation terminology

Navigation

The navigation system displays and tracks the
vehicle's position and movement on a moving map
display. When a destination is input, the navigation
system quickly calculates a route and guides you
along the route with pictorial displays and voice
prompts.

Present vehicle position

The navigation system integrates the GPS (Global
Positioning Satellite) signals received and the map
information stored on the DVD ROM to display the
position and direction of the vehicle. The system
also includes a gyroscope and a speed sensor that
enable it to display the present position even in
locations where the GPS signal may be blocked.

Present vehicle
position

Map matching

Since GPS navigation has an error of 100 – 655 feet
(30 m – 200 m), the position of your vehicle may be
displayed off the road. Map matching automatically
corrects this error so that the position of your vehicle
is displayed on the road.

Waypoints

You specify points you wish
to pass by along the way to
your destination and they are
indicated with the waypoint
icons in the display.

2

waypoint icon

Memory points

Locations you go to fre­quently can be stored into
memory and marked on the
map. The system can store
up to 200 points, including
your home. You can add
icons at the memory points
so that the system displays
the icons too on the map.

Memory point mark

Motorway-preference selection

When searching for routes with the navigation
system, you can switch between searching for
routes that give priority to motorways and those that
give priority to ordinary roads. When you specify
motorway preference, the navigation system
automatically searches for a route that gives priority
to motorways and guides you along that route.

Uncorrected

Destination

The point on the map that is
your destination is specified
and displayed with the
destination icon.

Route

When a destination is input,
the navigation system
automatically calculates a
route and displays it in blue
on the map.

8

Corrected

Tracking

The tracks indicate the roads
you have driven over with
blue dots. There is a limit on
the amount of memory
available for storing your
tracks (up to 31 miles/50 km).
When you exceed this
memory capacity, the tracks
are erased starting from the
earliest portion.

Track

Features

• Automatic Route Calculation

Just select the destination and your naviga­tion system does the rest, automatically
searching for the route you need. When
searching for the route, you can select the
route that gives priority to motorways or
ordinary roads.

• Real Time Voice Guide

A voice guide informs you of the distance and
direction until your course changes, giving
advice timed to match road conditions.
The VOICE button lets you call up the voice
guide when needed by just pushing the
button.

• Alternate Route Setting

Two types of route settings:

1. Quick setting of alternate routes when

traffic flow is obstructed.

2. Distance for alternate roundabout route

can be selected by driver (within 0.6 to 3
miles or 1 to 5 km).

• Automatic Border Point Calculation

When you travel crossing the map border, the
navigation system automatically chooses an
appropriate border point to pass through
when you set your destination. To select a
destination that is located outside of the map
border, select the desired country from the
"country selection" menu. For details, see
page 17.

• Direct Inputting of Telephone
Number

From the telephone number of a place of
interest stored in the disk or a memory point
you have stored, the system can search for
the destination.

• Voice Guidance at an Exit or Junction
on Motorways

When you approach an exit or junction on the
motorway, the system gives you voice guid­ance using the same name as shown on the
road signboards.

• Next Turn Guide

As you approach the place where you actually
have to turn, about 1000 feet (300 metres)
prior to the crossroads or junction, the system
informs you of which direction you have to
turn with voice and picture guidance.

• Traffic-Circle Turn Guidance

At a traffic circle, the system guides you
where to turn by indicating the road number
starting with the entered road.

• Map Zooming

You can change the map display in 13 magni­fication scales (100, 200, 400, 800, 1.6K, 3.2K,

6.4K, 12K, 25K, 50K, 100K, 200K and 400K
metres) to show more detailed or wider views.

• Direct Input of Name of Place of
Interest

Input only the name of a place of interest
(without inputting the city name) to search for
the route to the place of interest.

• Direct Input of Street Name

Just input the street name (no need to input
the city name) to search for the route to the
street.

• Sequence of Waypoints Can Be
Changed (Today's Plan)

Your navigation system can automatically sort
the sequence of the waypoints in order of
distance starting with the nearest waypoint.
Or, you can manually change the sequence of
the waypoints in any order as you like.

• Intersection Zoom

As you near intersections and cross points,
the map display automatically zooms in to
show a more detailed view that you will need.
This means there is no need to press the
ZOOM buttons.

• Built-in Gyroscope and Speed
Sensors

The gyroscope for sensing direction and the
speed pulse sensor for detecting distance
provide data which allows vehicle position and
direction to be displayed even in locations
where the GPS signal cannot be received such
as between buildings or in tunnels.

• Motorway Information Display

When you travel on motorways, the basic
guidance display (with an arrow) automatically
shows the distances to the next fuel station/
restaurant/parking/junction (except exit).
