1 Warnings and Safety information
The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS
receiver. Caliber does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.
If you accept it when first using the application, Caliber collects usage information and GPS
logs that may be used for improving the application and the quality and coverage of maps.
The data is processed anonymously; no one will be able to track any personal information. If
you change your mind later, you can enable or disable the log collection in Settings (page 94).
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 Caliber 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, Caliber changes the instructions accordingly.
Never place Caliber RDN902BTi where it obstructs the driver's view, where it is in the
deployment zone of an airbag or where it might cause injuries in an accident.

2.3 Map screen

The Map screen is the most frequently used screen of Caliber.
A small live map is displayed on the Navigation menu, as a part of the
button.
To enlarge this small map and open the Map screen, tap
This map shows the current position (the Vehimarker, a blue arrow by default), the
recommended route (an orange line), and the surrounding map area.
When there is no GPS position, the Vehimarker is transparent. It shows your last known
position.
You see coloured 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.
When GPS position is available, the Vehimarker is displayed in full colour, 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.

2.3.2 Position markers
2.3.2.1 Vehimarker and Lock-on-Road
When your GPS position is available, Caliber marks your current position with the
Vehimarker. This marker is a blue arrow.
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.
2.3.2.2 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 45)
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 (
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 Favourite
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.
) to make it visible at all zoom levels.
2.3.3 Objects on the map
2.3.3.1 Streets and roads
Caliber shows the streets in a way that is similar to how the paper road maps show them.
Their width and colours correspond to their importance: you can easily tell a motorway from a
small street.

When navigating a route, the top section of the Map screen shows information about the next
route event (manoeuvre) and the next street or the next city/town.
There is a field in the top left corner that displays the next manoeuvre. Both the type of the
event (turn, roundabout, exiting motorway, etc.) and its distance from the current position are
displayed.
A smaller icon shows the type of the second next manoeuvre if it is near the first one.
Otherwise, only the next manoeuvre is displayed.
Most of these icons are very intuitive. The following table lists some of the frequently shown
route events. The same symbols are used in both fields:

2.3.3.3 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, Caliber
displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom 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 colour 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
colours; 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.
16
Page 18
2.3.3.4 Junction view
If you are approaching a motorway 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.
2.3.3.5 Motorway exit services
You may need a petrol station or a restaurant during your journey. This feature displays a
new button on the map when you are driving on motorways.
Tap this button to open a panel with the details of the next few exits or service stations.
Tap any of them to display the exit area on the map. You can now easily add this exit 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 91).

3 On-road navigation
When first started, Caliber calculates routes using the road network of the high quality vector
maps provided with the product.
You can set up your route in different ways:
• If you need a route for immediate navigation, you can select the destination and start
navigating to it right away (normal navigation).
• You can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position or even without
GPS reception. To achieve this you need to set a new starting point in My Route / Edit
Route by tapping the flag icon at the current position. This will also turn off the GPS
receiver so that the route is not recalculated when a new position is received.
You can plan routes with multiple destinations. Select the first destination. Then select a
second destination and add it to your route to create a multi-point route. You can add as
many destinations to your route as you like.
You can also use Caliber for off-road navigation. For details, see page 66.
3.1 Selecting the destination of a route
Caliber offers you several ways of choosing your destination:
• Enter a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a house
number or the names of two intersecting streets (page 25).
• Enter an address with postal code (page 32). This way you do not need to select the
name of the city/town and the search for street names might be faster as well.
• Use a built-in Place of Interest as your destination (page 34).
• Select a location on the map with the Find on Map feature (page 45).
• Use a previously saved Favourite destination (page 45).
• Select a location from the History of previously used destinations (page 47).
• Enter the coordinate of the destination (page 48).
3.1.1 Entering an address or a part of the address
If you know at least a part of the address, it is the quickest way to select the destination of the
route.
Using the same screen, you can find an address by entering:
• the exact address, including house number
• the centre of a city/town
• an intersection
• the midpoint of a street
• any of the above, starting the search with the postal code (page 32)

3.1.1.6 Tips on entering addresses quickly
• When you are entering the name of a city/town or a street:
• Only those letters are offered on the keyboard that appear in possible search
results. All other characters are greyed out.
• As you are typing, the most likely result is always displayed in the input field. If
the guess is correct, just tap to select it.
• After entering a couple of letters, tap
contain the specified letters.
• You can speed up finding an intersection:
• Search first for the street with a less common or less usual name; fewer letters
are enough to find it.
• If one of the streets is shorter, search for that one first. You can then find the
second one faster.
• You can search for both the type and the name of a road. If the same word appears in
several names, for example in the name of streets, roads and avenues, you can obtain
the result faster if you enter the first letter of the street type: For example, enter 'PI A' to
obtain Pine Avenue and skip all Pine Streets and Pickwick Roads.
• You can also search in postal codes. As postal codes consist of only a few characters,
this is usually faster than entering the name of the city/town.

• From the Map screen, tap
Most of the procedures described for on-road navigation also apply to off-road navigation.
However, there are some that are not available in this navigation mode (for example you
cannot open the itinerary as you have no manoeuvres just route points and straight lines
between them).

, , and then
4.1 Selecting the destination of the route
Selecting the start point or a destination (waypoint or final destination) is the same as
described at on-road navigation. The only difference is that route points are linked to form a
route with straight lines regardless of the road network and traffic regulations.
4.2 Navigating in off-road mode
The real difference between the on-road and off-road modes is the navigation itself. When
you are on the Map screen with an off-road route:
• your position and heading is not aligned with the nearest road and
• there is no turn by turn navigation just a recommended direction.
You see a orange line drawn between your current position and the next destination to reach.
The Turn Preview field in the top left corner shows a compass with your bearing and the
distance of the next destination.
When you reach a waypoint, the orange line will show the direction to the next destination.
When you reach the final destination, navigation ends.

Page 68
5 Lorry navigation
The navigation software gives more options for lorry drivers:
• You can enter the parameters of your vehicle and Caliber calculates your routes with
taking available weight, height, etc. restrictions into account (this feature is accurate
only if restrictions are available for all roads between your position and the destination)
• Based on the dimensions and other entered parameters of your vehicle, Caliber warns
you when you are approaching a restricted road segment or such roads must be used
in your route.
• You can set a waiting (loading) time for each destination of the route. This way the
arrival time calculation can take into account the idle times at intermediate
destinations. In addition, time dependent restrictions and statistical traffic information
can also be considered for the whole route.
• When selecting lorry as the vehicle type, U-turns are disabled from routes as much as
possible.
• By using the
turning back on divided roads.
• You can use countdown timers to alert you when compulsory breaks must be taken
(timers can be set for one driver or two alternate drivers)
Warnings are both visual and audible. There are different kinds of warnings:
• When approaching a restricted road segment without a route, you are warned that
there is a restricted area ahead.
• Restricted road segments are excluded from your routes but in some cases some
restricted roads need to be used to reach the given destination. In this case you
receive a warning and you must accept that you have restricted roads in your route or
you can stop the navigation and continue without an active route.
Please note that lorry navigation is only as accurate and comprehensive as the
restrictions received with the map. Restrictions may not cover lower priority roads

6 Reference Guide
On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu
screens of Caliber.
6.1 Concepts
6.1.1 Smart Zoom
Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:
• While following a route: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view
angle to let you easily recognise your manoeuvre at the next junction. If the next turn is
at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to be flat so you can see the
road in front of you.
• While driving without an active route: Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly
and zoom out when you drive at high speed.
6.1.2 Daytime and night colour themes
Caliber uses different colour themes during the day and during the night for both the map and
the menu screens.
• Daytime colours are similar to paper road maps, and the menus are bright.
• The night colour themes use dark colours for large objects to keep the average
brightness of the screen low.
Caliber offers different daytime and night colour profiles. It can also switch autom atically
between the daytime and the night schemes based on the current time and GPS position a
few minutes before sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after
sunset, before it becomes dark.
6.1.3 Tunnel view
When entering a tunnel, the map is replaced with a generic tunnel image so that surface
roads and buildings cannot distract you.
The top-down overview of the tunnel helps you orientate yourself. The remaining distance in
the tunnel is also displayed.
72
Page 74
After leaving the tunnel, the original map view returns.
This feature can be turned off in Settings (page 91).
6.1.4 Route calculation and recalculation
Caliber calculates the route based on your preferences:
• Route planning methods:
•

• Vehicle types:
When creating a new vehicle profile, select one of the below vehicle types. Besides the
below mentioned conditions, dimension, weight and freight hazard restrictions can also
be taken into account when planning a route.
•
• Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account
when planning a route.

Whenever data exist, route calculation takes into account statistical traffic data for the given
day of week and time of day (page 78).
Real-time Traffic events are also taken into account and sometimes greatly modify the route.
Caliber automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary or if a
newly received Traffic event concerns a part of the recommended route.
For further information about Route settings, see page 85.

Page 76
6.1.5 Green routing
Route calculation is not only about finding the quickest or shortest route. For some of the
vehicle types, you can also check the fuel consumption and CO
route, and you can create cost effective routes with less effect on the environment.
In Route settings, you can edit the parameters of the selected vehicle. Enter the fuel
consumption values and the price of the fuel. You can also select whether you want to see
the difference between your route and the green route even if the selected routing method is
not Green.

6.1.6 Road safety cameras and other proximity alert points
There is a special proximity warning for road safety cameras (like speed or red light cameras)
and other proximity alert points (like schools or railroad crossings). These alert points are not
part of Caliber. You can download them from www.naviextras.com or you can upload points in
a specific text file if needed.
You can also add your own alert points or edit the previously uploaded points. See page 62
for details.
The application can warn you when you approach road safety cameras like speed cameras or
dangerous areas like railroad crossings or school zones. You can set up the different alert
types individually in Sound and Warnings settings (page 82).
The following alert types are available:
• Audio warning: beeps can be played while you are approaching one of these points, or
extra alert sounds if you exceed the given speed limit while approaching.

For some of the alert points, the enforced or expected speed limit is available. For these
points, the audio alert can be different if you are below or above the given speed limit.
• Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you exceed the given speed
limit.
• When approaching: The audio alert is always played when approaching one of these
alert points. In order to draw your attention, the alert can is different when you exceed
the speed limit.
The warning for road safety cameras is disabled when you are in a country where
road safety camera warning is prohibited. However, you must ensure on your own
Note!
liability that using this feature is legal in the country where you intend to use it.
6.1.7 Speed limit warning
Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. Caliber is able to
warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not be available for your region
(ask your local dealer), or may not be fully correct for all roads in the map.
The maximum speed set in the vehicle profile is also used for this warning. Caliber alerts you
if you exceed the preset value even if the legal speed limit is higher.
Speed warning can be fine-tuned in Sound and Warnings settings (page 82).
You can set the relative speed above which the application initiates the warning.
The following alert types are available:
• Audio warning: you receive a verbal warning when you exceed the speed limit with the
given percentage.
• Visual warning: the current speed limit is shown on the map when you exceed it (for
example:
You can also choose to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time.

6.1.8 GPS position quality indicator and current time
You can find useful information in the top corners of menu screens.
The current time is displayed in the top left corner.
In the top right corner, the GPS reception quality icon shows the current accuracy of the
position information.
Caliber has no connection to the GPS receiver: GPS navigation is not
possible.

Caliber is connected to the GPS receiver, but the signal is too weak and
the receiver cannot determine the GPS position.
GPS navigation is not possible.
Only a few satellites are received. Position information is available, but
elevation (altitude) cannot be calculated.
GPS navigation is possible, but the position error may be significant.
Altitude information is available, the position is a 3D position.
GPS navigation is possible.
6.1.9 Traffic information in route planning
The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Offline statistical traffic
information (historical speed information or traffic patterns) can be taken into account in the
route calculation based on the time of day and the day of week whenever suitable data exists.
In addition, real-time traffic information can help you avoid current traffic events like temporary
road closures or a traffic jam caused by an accident. Both functions are subject to data
availability.
You can display the historical traffic information on the map if you browse the map and select
this option from the More menu. A 2D map is displayed with road segments coloured by the
density of the traffic in the given period. The current information is shown when you open the
screen. Modify the day of week and the time of day to see the desired period.
You can display the live traffic information on the map if you browse the map and select this
option from the More menu. A 2D map is displayed with road segments coloured by the
severity of traffic events. Tap the event type icon at the road segment and then tap the
button to get information about the traffic event.
77
Page 79
6.1.9.1 Historical traffic
If statistical traffic information is stored with the map data, Caliber can take them into account
when planning a route. In normal cases, these statistics help you avoid usual traffic jams on
the given day of week in the given hour but in some cases like on public holidays that fall on
normal weekdays, they can be misleading. You can disable this feature in Traffic settings
(page 85).
You can display statistical traffic information on the map if you browse the map and select this
option from the More menu.
6.1.9.2 Real-time traffic information (TMC)
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) can provide you with the real-time status of the traffic. Route
calculation can avoid road blocks or unexpected traffic jams caused by an accident.
TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting realtime traffic and weather information.
Using traffic information is enabled by default in Caliber.
TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your country or region. Ask
Note!
your local dealer for coverage details.
Caliber RDN902BTi contains the TMC receiver that is needed to receive Traffic events.
If public Traffic data is broadcast at your location, Caliber automatically takes into account the
traffic events received. You do not need to set anything in the program. The receiver will
automatically search the FM radio stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will
immediately be used in route planning. When Caliber receives traffic information that may
affect your route, the program will warn you that it is recalculating the route, and navigation
will continue with a new route that is optimal considering the most up-to-date traffic
conditions.
To fine-tune this recalculation, you can set the minimum delay that can trigger a route
recalculation, or you can instruct Caliber to have you confirm the new recommended route
before it takes effect. You can do these in Traffic settings (page 85).

7 Glossary
2D/3D GPS reception
The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and needs at least four
signals to give a three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are
moving and because objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four
signals. If three satellites are available, the receiver can calculate the horizontal GPS position
but the accuracy is lower and the GPS device does not give you elevation data: only 2D
reception is possible.
Active route
The currently navigated route. Whenever the destination is set, the route is active until you
delete it, reach your destination or you quit Caliber. See also: Route.
City Centre
The city/town centre is not the geometric centre of the city/town but an arbitrary point the map
creators have chosen. In towns and villages, it is usually the most important intersection; in
larger cities, it is one of the important intersections.
Colour theme
Caliber comes with different colour themes for daytime or night use of the map and menu
screens. Themes are custom graphic settings and they can have different colours for streets,
blocks or surface waters in 2D and 3D modes, and they display shades or shadows in
different ways in 3D mode.
One daytime scheme and one night scheme is always selected for the map and for the
menus. Caliber uses them when it switches from day to night and back.
GPS accuracy
Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position and the one given by
the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting objects near the
GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can
calculate your position.
Map
Caliber works with digital maps which are not simply the com puterised versions of traditional
paper maps. Similarly to the paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps show you streets,
roads, and elevation is also shown by colours.
In 3D mode, you can see the altitude differences, for example valleys and mountains,
elevated roads, and in selected cities 3D landmarks and 3D buildings are also displayed.
You can use digital maps interactively: you can zoom in and out (increase or decrease the
scale), you can tilt them up and down, and rotate them left and right. In GPS-supported
navigation, digital maps facilitate route planning.

North-up map orientation
In North-up mode the map is rotated so its top always faces North. This is the orientation for
example in Find on Map.
Road Safety Camera
Special alert points for speed, red light or bus lane cameras. Different data sources are
available. You can configure Caliber to warn you when you approach one of these cameras.
Detecting the location of Road Safety Cameras is prohibited in certain countries. It is the sole
responsibility of the driver to check whether this feature can be used during the trip.
The software is capable of showing and warning for more than just cameras. Various other
types of proximity alert points like school zones and railway crossings are also available.
Route
A sequence of route events, i.e. manoeuvres (for example, turns and roundabouts) to reach
the destination. The route contains one start point and one or more destinations. The start
point is the current (or last known) position by default. If you need to see a future route, the
start point can be replaced with any other given point.
Track-up map orientation
In Track-up mode the map is rotated so its top always points in the current driving direction.
This is the default orientation in 3D map view mode.
Vehimarker
The current position is shown with a blue arrow on the map by default. The direction of the
blue arrow shows the current heading. This position marker can be replaced with different 3D
vehicle symbols. You can even specify different Vehimarkers for different route types
(depending on which vehicle type is selected for route calculation).
