Preface

Address Book

Up to 300 personal locations and phone numbers can be stored in the system’s memory.

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 Indicator

The present vehicle position is indicated by an arrowhead within a circle

Present vehicle position

Map matching

Since GPS navigation has an error window of about 100 – 650 feet (30 m – 200 m), the position of your vehicle may be calculated in such a way that it is displayed incorrectly off the road. Map matching automatically corrects this error so that the position is displayed on the road.

Popular Points of Interest

Fourteen different POI icons can be displayed on the map. These icons indicate the locations and names of the nearest gas/fuel stations, restaurants, parking garages, parking lots, ATMs, banks, convenience stores, grocery stores, freeway exits with IA data, hotels & motels, bed & breakfast, post offices, hospitals and schools. All 14 icons can be displayed on the screen at one time.

• The brand icons (eight gasoline companies) of the gas stations appear on the map. For details, see page 62 of this Manual.

Destination

The destination point is represented by a bullseye icon.

a Destination icon b Route (Blue)

Features

Automatic Route Calculation

The navigation system displays and tracks your vehicle’s position and movement via a moving map display. When you input a destination, the navigation system quickly calculates a route and guides you with pictorial displays and voice prompts. When determining the route, the system can be programmed to minimize the use of toll roads and freeways. This system combines GPS signals received with map information stored on DVD-ROM to display the position and direction of the vehicle. This navigation system also includes an electronic gyro-sensor and a speed sensor that enable it to display the present vehicle position even in locations where GPS signals may be blocked.

Next Turn Guide

When an upcoming turn is approaching, the system will give maneuver instructions via arrow guides and simple voice prompts.

Real Time Voice Guide

Using voice prompts, the system will notify you of upcoming turns and highways to enter. Pressing the VOICE button on the remote control or touching [ ] on the map display allows you to access this voice guidance feature at any time with a single press.

Street Name Input

Allows you to input your destination’s street name (via Address or Intersection search) if you don’t know your destination’s city name.

Intersection Zoom (Auto Zoom Map)

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 the vehicle position and direction to be displayed even in locations where the GPS signals cannot be received such as between high buildings or in tunnels.

Three Types of Operation

The operation for the navigation system can be performed with both the supplied remote control (RUE-4140), touch button* or voice control.

* Touch button operation can be performed only when you

connect to Alpine Touch panel-compatible monitor IVAD310 or TME-M770S, etc. For details, refer to “Manual Overview” on page 10. See also the Owner’s Manual of the touch panel-compatible monitor.

Traffic Information (Optional)

If you connect the XM Data Receiver HCE-100XM (sold separately) or SIRIUS Data Receiver (sold separately), and sign up for Traffic & Weather, you can receive traffic information in real time. Traffic incidents and congestion can be displayed on the map and also be listed by distance from the vehicle. For more information, visit XM's website at www.xmradio.com., or SIRIUS' website at www.sirius.com.

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 Inputting of Phone Number

You can search for a destination place of interest by inputting the telephone number (if known).

Map Zooming

You can change the map display in nine magnification scales to get more detail or more general views (1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 5, 15, 50, 150, 350 mile zoom scales). A special 350 mile zoom scale is available when you view a very long route.

Three Languages Selectable for the Voice Guidance

Three Languages Selectable for the Voice Guidance. You can choose one of the three languages (English, French, Spanish) for the voice route guidance.

8-EN

How to Use the Disc

There are two discs available for NVD-A801: the NORTH version, and the SOUTH version. Phone number/POI (Point of Interest) information, etc., contained in the South area disc cannot be searched by the North disc, and vice versa. Places in the South area, for example, can only be found on the South disc. The North and South version discs cover the areas as shown in gray below. There are some overlap areas which are stored in both discs.

Manual Overview

If the navigation system is connected to Alpine touch panelcompatible monitor IVA-D310, IVA-D300 or TME-M770S, etc., touch operation can be performed by directly touching the monitor. If the monitor (other than Alpine touch panel-compatible monitor IVA-D310, IVA-D300 or TME-M770S, etc.) is connected, operation can be performed with the supplied remote control.

Both touch button and remote control operations are described in this manual. First, touch button operations, and then remote control operations in italics are described.
