1 Warnings and safety information

The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS receiver. NX405 does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.

NX405 collects usage information and GPS logs that may be used for improving the application and the quality of maps if you accept it when first using the application. The data are processed anonymously; no one is able to track any personal information. If you change your mind later, you can enable or disable the log collection in Settings (page 83).

It is important to look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you plan and review your route before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure and stop if you need to change the route.

You must follow the traffic rules. If you deviate from the planned route, NX405 changes the instructions accordingly.

For more information, see the end-user license agreement (page 89).

2.3 Navigation view

The navigation view is the main screen of NX405 that shows the planned route on a map. NX405 works with digital maps which are not simply the computerized versions of traditional paper maps. Similarly to paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps shows you streets and roads. Elevation is also illustrated in color.

The navigation view displays the following screen buttons, data fields, and route information on the map during navigation:

Note! Some buttons, fields, or icons may not be available in your product version.

Clarion NX405 English 15

If you are approaching a freeway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. See page 19.

When entering a tunnel, the map is replaced with a generic tunnel image. See page 20.

2.3.1 Streets and roads

NX405 shows the streets similarly to paper road maps. Their width and colors correspond to their importance; you can easily tell a freeway from a small street.

2.3.2 GPS position markers

When your GPS position is available, NX405 marks your current position. By default, this marker is a blue arrow. The dot near the arrow shows the GPS position as perceived by the GPS receiver.

When on-road navigation is selected, the current position marker may not show your exact GPS position and heading. If roads are near, it is aligned to the nearest road to eliminate GPS position errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of the road.

If you select off-road navigation, the current position marker is at your exact GPS position. The direction of the icon shows your current heading.

16 Clarion NX405 English

2.3.3 The planned route

The planned route is the currently navigated route. Whenever the destination is set, the route is active until you delete it, reach your destination or suspend navigation. NX405 displays the route in the following ways:

• In pedestrian mode it is the GPS position.

 

 

 

 

• If a vehicle is selected for route calculation and roads are near,

 

 

the arrow jumps to the nearest road.

 

 

• The dot near the arrow shows the exact GPS position.

 

 

Normally, if GPS position is available, the route starts from the current

 

 

position. If there is no valid GPS position, NX405 uses the last known

 

 

position as the starting point.

includes them and shows them in a color that is different from the

 

 

route color.

2.3.4 Turn preview and next street

When navigating a route, the top section of the Navigation view shows information about the next route event (maneuver) and the next street or the next town.

There is a field in the top left corner displaying the next maneuver. Both the type of the maneuver (turn, traffic circle, exiting freeway, and so on) and its distance from the current position are displayed.

Clarion NX405 English 17

A smaller icon shows the type of the second next maneuver if it is near the first one. Otherwise, only the next maneuver is displayed. Tap the icon of the actual maneuver to open the Itinerary screen.

2.3.5 Maneuver icons

During navigation the next maneuver is displayed in the top left corner. Most of the maneuver icons are intuitive. The following table lists some of the frequently shown route events:

2.3.6 Lane information and signposts

When navigating on multi-lane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the planned route. If lane information is available in the map data, NX405 displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lanes and the direction you need to take.

Where additional information is available, arrows are replaced by signposts. Signposts are displayed at the top of the map. The color and style of the signposts are similar to the real ones you can see above roads or by roadsides. They show the available destinations and the road numbers.

All signposts look similar when cruising (when there is no planned route). During navigation only the signpost that points to the lane(s) to be taken is highlighted; all the others are darker.

If you want to hide the currently displayed signposts, tap any of them and the normal Navigation view returns until new signpost information is received.

You can modify the signpost settings in (page 79).

2.3.7 Junction view

If you are approaching a freeway 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 and return to the Navigation view, tap the picture.

Clarion NX405 English 19

Junction view can be turned off in . See page 79.

3 Using the navigation

By default, NX405 calculates routes using the road network of the maps provided with the product.

You can select the destination and start navigating to it right away (normal navigation) if you need a route for immediate navigation.

You can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position even without GPS reception. To achieve this, you need to set a new starting point in the Multipoint Route menu. It also suspends guidance so that the route is not recalculated when a new position is received. See Page 54.

You can plan routes with multiple destinations by selecting a first and a second destination and adding it to your route. You can add as many destinations to your route as you like. See Page 51.

You can also use NX405 for off-road navigation. See page 64.
