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
2.3.1 Navigating on the map
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.

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.

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
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)
