For the items described in the “Notes for setting a destination (waypoints)”, select the
[Map] key to display the map, and confirm or
adjust the destination as necessary.
The destination calculated by the system
may not be at the exact location you specified. Please adjust the destination as necessary.
Notes for setting a destination
(waypoints)
A few notes for setting a destination (waypoints) are described below. Incorrect setting
can lead to incorrect route guidance.
• Be especially careful when you specify a
road in which inbound and outbound
lanes are completely separate, such as
interchanges, rest areas, etc. If an incorrect lane is set, the shortest route to your
destination may not be suggested.
In this case, adjust the destination (waypoints) by scrolling the cross pointer on
the map, while taking into consideration
the direction that you are travelling, your
destination, etc.
• If a destination is set where a toll road
crosses over or runs above an ordinary
road, only a route to a location on the toll
road near to the destination may be suggested.
In this case, scroll the cross pointer on
the map to a point on the desired ordinary

road that is near the destination until the
desired road blinks.
• If a large premises, such as an airport, a
park, etc., is set as a destination, the
route to the centre of the premises may
be suggested.
In this case, scroll the cross pointer on
the map to the desired road near the destination until the desired road blinks.
Input of letters
You have to input letters when searching a
location by the Point of Interest (POI) or
when editing an item already registered in

categories are available, select the [All]
key to display all items.
• By selecting the [Last 5 categories] key,
the last 5 categories you selected will
be displayed. This key is useful when
you select categories you often use.
2 After a list is displayed, select a preferred
location for a destination.
(1) The list scrolls upward.
(2) The list scrolls downward.

References for when you have problems
Case 1
You have arrived at the destination, but the system continues rerouting
to the destination, or an unnecessary route remains displayed on the
screen.
→Cause: This navigation system automatically deletes the displayed sug-
gested route and icons for guiding the route when the system recognizes
that the vehicle has arrived at the destination. However, depending on the
destination, there may be cases that the system cannot recognize it, and
the suggested route and icons are not deleted. In these cases, delete your
destination and all waypoints.
Measure “Minor adjustment and deletion of the destination
(waypoint)” E-20
Case 2
The vehicle icon is not aligned with the actual vehicle position.
→Cause: This navigation system displays the vehicle icon on the map by
confirming the forward direction of the vehicle with the gyro-sensor, and
by calculating the current vehicle position based on the information
received from GPS satellites, the vehicle speed, etc. Therefore, if the driving environment or reception condition from GPS satellites gets worse, the
vehicle icon on the screen can become misaligned from the actual vehicle
position.

positioning” E-30

Case 3
Cannot set a route as expected.
Even when “Use Ferry Route” is selected, the route suggested by the
system does not include the ferry route. Even when “Short” is
selected, the system does not calculate the shortest route. The system
fails in a route calculation.
→Cause 1: If "Use Time Restricted Roads" is not selected in the setting
screen for route calculation, the system suggests a route that does not
include the time restricted roads at all regardless of the time or day of the
week. Therefore, if the destination or waypoint is set near to a time
restricted road, the system may fail in the calculation or may not suggest
the shortest route.
Measure: Change the setting for route calculation. “Priorities” E-23

English
What is GPS (Global Positioning System)?
GPS is a position detecting system that uses
satellites deployed by the Pentagon. This
navigation system receives radio waves from
four or more different satellites which orbit
21,000 km above the earth in space, and
detects the position by utilizing the principle
of the triangulation. The degree of accuracy
may be changed intentionally by the Pentagon. In those cases, the system may not display the vehicle position correctly, even if the
situation is different from the items described
in “Driving environment which affects the
accuracy of the vehicle positioning”.
Confirmation of GPS reception condition
The GPS mark on the upper left corner
of the current location map screen shows the
accuracy of positioning.
NOTE
For approximately 3 or 4 minutes after starting the system, the GPS mark remains grey,
even if accurate positioning is possible.
Confirming GPS reception condition
Select the [GPS Information] key to display
latitude, longitude, altitude, position detecting condition and positions of satellites.
⇒[Navigation]⇒[GPS Information]
• The satellite with a strong signal will be
indicated in green.
• Altitude will not be displayed when the
vehicle position is being detected by the
“2 dimension” calculation method.
→Cause 2: There may be cases that the system does not display the sug-
gested route, even with the appropriate setting for route calculation,
because of the system limitations. The measure below may not be successful in some cases. Refer to page E-31, “Notes on route guidance” and
understand the limitations of the system.
Measure: Set the ferry terminal or the street that you want to use as a
waypoint.
“Waypoint” E-24
Case 4
The direction or the route suggested by the route guidance or the voice
guidance is different from the actual roads.
→Cause: The system may provide incorrect guidance for various reasons,
such as the map data used has not been updated, incorrect data is
included, the street was built after the creation of the map DVD-ROM, etc.
The information given by the navigation system is only a reference.
Always follow the actual traffic regulations when driving.
Refer to page E-31, “Notes on route guidance” and page E-33,
“Notes on voice guidance”.

Route calculation
Setting a destination
Method
1
Calculate a route by setting an already registered location as the destination.
→ Setting of “Address Book” page E-17
A location registered in the Address Book can be set as a destination, and
a route can be calculated. It is useful to register locations, if they are often
set as destinations, into the Address Book. For information about how to
register locations in the Address Book, refer to page E-27 “Registering a
location and editing the Address Book”.
→ Setting of “Previous Dest.” page E-17
A previously set destination can be set as a destination, and a route can
be calculated. A total of 10 previous destinations from the most recent one
are automatically registered in the Previous Dest. list.
Method
2
Calculate a route by setting a facility as the destination.
The location can be set by using the database in the map DVD-ROM.
→ Setting of “Point of Interest (POI)” page E-18
A destination can be set from the type of facility, and a route can be calculated. When selecting a facility as a destination, it is faster to calculate if
the country and city which the facility is located in are specified.
→ Setting of “Phone Number” page E-19
If you know the phone number of the destination facility, the destination
can be searched by entering the phone number, and a route can be calculated.
Method
3
Calculate a route by setting a friend's house or a location, which could
not be searched by method 2, as a destination.
→ Setting of “Address (City/Street)” page E-18
If you know the address of your destination, the destination location can
be searched by the address. If the data is included in the map DVD-ROM,
the house number can be input, and a location that is close to your destination can be searched.
→ Setting of “City Centre” page E-19
This is useful when you do not specify a certain location but only input a
city name to calculate a route. If only a city name is specified, the system
calculates for a route to the centre of the city as the destination.

By setting the Avoid Area, a route that avoids the Avoid Area can be calculated.
→ Setting of “Priorities” page E-23

mation Centre page E-23
Using the information from the TMC Traffic Information Centre, a route
that avoids restrictions or traffic jams can be calculated.
