This Supplementary Owner’s Manual describes the changes made to this updated-version of the
map disc. Please thoroughly read this Manual before starting operation.

Operating-System Program Rewriting

1) Remove the old map disc from your navigation system.

2) Insert the upgrade disc into your navigation system.

3) The new operating system loaded automatically.

4) The operating screen appears in the display.
Please confirm that the program version is changed.

NOTE

• For details, see NVD-A121 Owner’s Manual page 6.

Switching between Split Screen Display and Detailed Map Display

Once the route has been calculated and driving begins, the navigation system will guide the driver,
turn-by-turn, to the destination. Real time voice directions and map displays aid the driver
throughout the entire route.

The type of display that appears during your trip can be selected according to your preference.
The Basic Guidance Display automatically appears when the destination is selected while the
vehicle is in motion. When the Split Screen is set to ON in the Setup menu (See page 6 of this
Manual), pressing the MP/RG button on the remote control toggles the display between the Split
Screen Display and the Detailed Map Display.

PRECAUTIONS

Important information.
Please read carefully before using this product.

This product is intended to safely provide turn by turn instructions to get you to a desired destination. Please
make certain that all persons using this navigation system carefully read these precautions and the following
instructions fully.

1) This product is not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any route suggestions
made by this navigation system may never supersede any local traffic regulations or your
personal judgment and/or knowledge of safe driving practices.

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.

2) Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of
the screen is necessary, pull over in a safe and legal manner and location.

3) Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring a
prolonged view of the monitor and/or remote control while you are driving. Pull over in a
safe and legal manner and location before attempting to access the system.

4) Do not use the navigation system to route you to emergency services. Not all locations
of emergency services such as police and fire stations, hospitals and clinics are contained
in the database. Please use your own judgment and ask for directions in these situations.

Do not follow route

5) The map database used in the DVD-ROM 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 is not able to route you to your desired destination.
In these cases, use your own judgment.

6) The map database is designed to provide you with route suggestions and does not take
into account the relative safety of a suggested route or of factors which may affect the time
required to reach your destination. The system 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 own
judgment if the navigation system is unable to provide you with an alternate route.

7) There may be situations where the navigation system displays the vehicle's location
erroneously. Use your own driving judgment in this situation, taking into account 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, pull over in a safe and legal manner
and location before attempting operation.

8) Make certain that the volume level of the monitor, CVA-1003/CVA-1005/CVA-1006/IVA­C800/IVA-C801 or other audio type unit is set to a level which still allows you to hear
outside traffic and emergency vehicles.

If there is anything in the manual about the operation of the navigation system
which you are uncertain about, please contact your local Alpine authorized
navigation dealer or Alpine at 1-888-NAV-HELP (1-888-628-4357) before using the
navigation system.

PREFACE

System 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 DVD­ROM 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.

Multiple Mode Destination Selection

Desired destinations can be selected among these 9 categories:

• an address

• an intersection

• a point of interest (POI)

• a recent destination

• your personal address book

• a special feature called Today's Plan

• a location selected directly from the map display

• a phone number

• an origin of the current route

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.

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 Guidance

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

Map Zoom

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, 2, 8, 32, 128 mile zoom scales). A
special 256 mile zoom scale is available when you view a very long route.

2

System Enhancements

Overall Improved System Response Time

Faster screen transitions and route calculations.

Faster Input Using Smart Key Filtering

By displaying only the characters necessary to complete your destination input,
jumping over unnecessary letters is kept to a minimum.

Navigation Terminology

Present Vehicle Position Indicator

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

Map Matching

Since GPS has an error window of about 100 - 650 feet
(30 m - 200 m), the position of the 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 vehicle is displayed on the road.

Destination

The destination point is represented by a checkered flag.

restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and parking garages.
All seven icons can be displayed on the screen at one
time.

BEFORE USING THE SYSTEM

Installing New Navigation System Software

If a different version of the map disc has been used with your navigation system, the operating
system program installed will be rewritten automatically to read this SMART MAP PRO disc.

Remove the different version of the map disc from

1

your navigation system. Insert this SMART MAP
PRO disc.

The display shows "Please insert DVD-ROM/ map data
disk." Insert the DVD-ROM disc into the NVE-N851A/
NVE-N852A Series Navigation System. (For instructions
on inserting and removing the DVD-ROM disc, refer to
the NVE-N851A/NVE-N852A Series Hardware Manual.)

Recalibration for new vehicle or tires

The navigation system measures distance using the vehicle’s speed pulses. The vehicle’s speed pulses vary
depending on the manufacturer and tire size. Therefore, whenever you install this system into a different
vehicle or replace your tires, the distance coefficient is automatically recalibrated. This done by comparing the
speed pulse data to the GPS calculated distance. To make the recalibration speed faster, clear the current
coefficient. You can check on the screen whether or not vehicle’s speed pulses are being counted.
