1 Warnings and Safety information
The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS receiver.
Clarion Mobile Map does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.
If you accept it when first using the application, Clarion Mobile Map 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 91).
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 Clarion Mobile Map 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, Clarion Mobile Map changes the instructions accordingly.
Never place Clarion NX404AU 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.
For more information, consult the End User Licence Agreement (page 94).

2.1 Buttons and other controls on the screen
When you are using Clarion Mobile Map, you usually tap buttons on the touch screen.
You only need to confirm selections or changes if the application needs to restart, it needs to perform
a major reconfiguration, or you are about to lose some of your data or settings. Otherwise, Clarion
Mobile Map saves your selections and applies the new settings without confirmation as soon as you
use the controls.

2.2.2 Position markers
2.2.2.1 Vehimarker and Lock-on-Road
When your GPS position is available, Clarion Mobile Map marks your current position with the
Vehimarker. By default, this marker is a blue arrow, but you can change this icon in Settings.
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.
2.2.2.2 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 55)
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.

2.2.3.1 Streets and roads
Clarion Mobile Map 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.
2.2.3.2 Turn preview and Next 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 town/suburb.
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:
14 NX404AU English

Continue straight in the intersection.
Go left on the roundabout, 3rd exit (next manoeuvre).

2.2.3.3 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, Clarion Mobile Map displays the
lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent
the lanes and direction 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.
NX404AU English 15
2.2.3.4 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. At the top of the screen road signs show you additional information.
If you want to hide the currently displayed junction, tap the picture and the Map screen returns.
There are two kinds of Junction Views:
Junction Views show an generic view of the junction with focusing on the number and layout of lanes
only. The road signs are created from road shield, road number and destination information received
in the map data:
2.2.3.5 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 89).

3 On-road navigation
When first started, Clarion Mobile Map 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 Clarion Mobile Map for off-road navigation. For details, see page 76.
3.1 Selecting the destination of a route
Clarion Mobile Map 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 street number
or the names of two intersecting streets (page 33).
• Enter an address with postal code (page 41). This way you do not need to select the name of
the town/suburb and the search for street names might be faster as well.
• Use a built-in Place of Interest as your destination (page 43).
• Select a location on the map with the Find on Map feature (page 55).
• Use a previously saved Favourite destination (page 56).
• Select a location from the History of previously used destinations (page 58).
• Enter the coordinate of the destination (page 59).
3.1.1 Combined Search
There are several ways to select the destination of the route. You can find buttons in the Destination
menu that initiate a separate search for addresses, places, place categories, and favourite or recent
destinations. The fastest way to search for any of these is to use the Combined Search. In this section
you can find the full description of how this feature works. The below process shows how to carry out
the search and the following subsections will help you find specific kinds of results.

2. Tap anywhere and the hint disappears. If you successfully select a new search area, the
hint will not appear again when you open this window later but you can see it again if
you tap the information button on the right side of the input field.
3. Start entering the name of the new town/suburb using the screen keyboard. You only
need to enter a few letters to get a result. If the new search area is in a different country
or state, you can narrow the search results if you enter one space and then a few letters
of the country or state of the search area.
4. The most likely result appears below the input field as you enter new letters. Tap to
select this as your new search area. If you cannot see your preferred area after a few
letters, tap

you enter letters so this number may keep on increasing if you wait a few seconds. Keep on
entering new letters while this number is high.
