1. Warnings and Safety information
The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with a connected GPS
receiver. Clarion Mobile Map does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.
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 ac cordingly.
Never place 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 100).

2.2 Map screen
2.2.1 Navigating on the map
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 red 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.
.
12 NX503E English
By default, only one data field is displayed in the bottom right corner. Tap this field to see all
route data fields. Tap any of the data fields to suppress others and display only the selected
one.
The data fields are different when you are navigating an active route and when you have no
specified destination (the orange line is not displayed).
Default data fields when cruising without a destination (tap and hold any of the fields to
change its value):
Field Description
Shows your current speed given by the GPS receiver.
Shows the speed limit of the current road if the map contains it.
Shows the cur rent time correc ted with time z one offset. The ac curate
time comes from the GPS satellites, and the time zone information
comes from the map or it can be set manually in Regional settings.
Default data fields when navigating a route (tap and hold any of the fields to change its value):
Field Description
Shows the distance you need to travel on the route before reaching
your final destination.
Shows the time needed to reach the final destination of the route
based on information available for the remaining segments of the
route.
If Clarion NX503E is capable of receiving live traffic information, the
calculation takes into account traffic delays affecting your route if they
are received. However, this calculation is rarely accurate.

NX503E English 13
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 red 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
Tap the map in Find on Map (p a g e 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 sel ect some of the obj ec ts on the m ap. If you t ap the map at the icon of a P lace
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.
2.2.3 Objects on the map
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.
14 NX503E English
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 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, onl y the next manoeuvre is displ ay e d.
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:
Icon Description
Turn left.
Turn right.
Turn back.
Bear right.
Turn sharp left.
Keep left.
Continue straight in the intersection.
Go left on the roundabout, 3rd exit (next
manoeuvre).
Enter roundabout (second next manoeuvre).
NX503E English 15
Enter motorway.
Exit motorway.
Board ferry.
Leave ferry.
Approachin g a wa y p oint.
Approaching t he des tination.
2.2.3.3 Lane information and Signposts
When navigating on multi-lane 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 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 NX503E English
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. 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.
2.2.3.5 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 it on the map and add it 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 95).
NX503E English 17
2.2.3.6 3D object types
Clarion Mobile Map supports the following 3D object types:
Type Description
3D terrain 3D terrain map data shows changes in terrain, elevations or depressions in
the land when you view the map in 2D, and use it to plot the route map in
3D when you navigate. Hills and mountains are shown in the background of
the 3D map, and illustrated by colour and shading on the 2D map.
Elevated roads
Complex intersections and vertically isolated roads (such as overpasses or
bridges) are displayed in 3D.
3D landmarks
3D buildings
Landmarks are 3D artistic or block representations of prominent or wellknown objects.
3D block representation of full city building data containing actual building
size and position on the map.
2.2.3.7 Elements of the active route
Clarion Mob ile Map shows the route in the following way:
Symbol Name Description
Current GPS position and
Start point
Waypoint (intermediate
destination)
Destination (end point) The final destination of the route.
Route colour

18 NX503E English
You can choose whether you want to use or
avoid certain road types (page 89). However,
when Clarion Mobile Map cannot avoid such
roads, the route will include them and it will show
them in a colour that is different from the route
colour.
Road segments may be affected by traffic events
received. These streets and roads are displayed
in an alternate colour, and small symbols
displayed along the route show the type of the
traffic event.

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 house
number or the names of two intersecting streets (page 34).
Enter an address with POSTAL code (page 41). 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 43).
Select a location on the map with the Find on Map feature (page 55).
Use a previously saved Favourite destination (page 55).
Select a location from the History of previously used destinations (page 57).
Enter the coordinate of the destination (page 5 8).
Use the location where a photo was taken (page 60).

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, 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.

increasing if you wait a few seconds. Keep on entering new letters while this number is

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.

Selecting the start point or a destination (waypoint or final destination) is the same as

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 s creen with an off-road r oute:
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.
(Future legs of the route are shown with orange lines.)
When you reach the final destination, navigation ends.

5 Reference Guide
On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu
screens of Clarion Mobile Map.
5.1 Concepts
5.1.1 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.
5.1.2 Daytime and night colour themes
Clarion Mobile Map 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.
Clarion Mobile Map offers different daytime and night colour profiles. It can also switch
automatically 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.
5.1.3 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.
After leaving the tunnel, the original map view returns.
This feature can be turned off in Settings (page 95).

5.1.6 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
preloaded in Clarion Mobile Map. You can download more from www.clarion.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 preloaded or uploaded points. See page 72
for details.
The application can warn you when you approach road safety cameras like speed cameras or
dangerous areas like school zones or railroad crossings. You can set up the different alert
types individually in Sound and Warning settings (page 86).
The following alert types are available:
80 NX503E English
Audio warning: beeps can be played (natural voice) or the type of the alert can be
announced (TTS) while you are approaching one of these points, and an extra alert
can warn you if you exceed the given speed limit while approaching.
Visual warning: the type of the alert point, its distance and the related speed limit
appear on the Map screen while you are approaching one of these cameras.
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.
Note!
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 liability that using this feature is legal in the country where you intend
to use it.
5.1.7 Speed limit warning
Maps may contai n information about the speed limits of the road segments. Clarion Mobile
Map 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 pr ofile is also used for t his warning. Clarion Mob ile
Map 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 Warning settings (page 86).
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 perce ntage.
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.

5.1.8 Traffic information in route planning
The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Real-time traffic
information can help you avoid current traffic events like temporary road closures or a traffic
jam caused by an accident. The function is subject to data availability.
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.
5.1.8.1 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 Clarion Mobile Map.
Note!
Clarion NX503E contains the TMC receiver that is needed to receive Traffic events.
If public Traf fic data is bro ad cast at you r loc at ion, Clar ion Mo bil e Map autom at ic ally tak es int o
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 Clarion Mobile Map receives
traffic inf ormatio n that may aff ect your ro ute, the pr ogram will warn you th at it is recalc ulatin g
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 Clarion Mobile Map to have you confirm the new
recommended route before it takes effect. You can do these in Traffic settings (page 88).

5.3.4 Route settings
These settings determine how routes will be calculated.
Button Description
You can set the type of vehicle you will use to navigate the route.
Based upon this setting, some of the road types can be excluded from
the route, or some of the restrictions may not be taken into account in
route calculation.
You can edit the parameters of the selected vehicle profile, or you can
even create new vehicle profiles if you tap More.
On-road navigation creates a turn by turn itinerary using the road
network on the map. Switch to off-road navigation to navigate between
destinations in a straight line.
The route calculation can be optimised for different situations and
vehicle types by changing the planning method. See below for details.
If the selected routing method is not Green, you can have your route
compared to the best green alternative on the screen when confirming
the route. If this alternative is much better than the selected method,
you can quickly switch to Green mode.
To let the route fit your needs, you can also set which road types are to be considered for or
to be excluded from the route if possible.
Excluding a road type is a pref erence. It does not necessarily mean total prohi bition. If your
destination can only be accessed using some of the excluded road types, they will be used
but only as much as necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on the My Route
screen, and the part of the route not matching your preference will be displayed in a different
colour on the map.

by your current location. Here you can set time zone and daylight
saving manually.
5.3.10 Trip monitor settings
Trip logs contain useful information about your trips. Trip logs can be saved manually when
you reach your destination or you can turn on the automatic saving here. You can access
these logs in the Trip monitor. Trip monitor is available from the More menu.
Trip monitor can record statistical data of your trips. If you need these
logs later, you can let the application save them automatically for you.
This is not a button. This line shows the current size of the trip
database, t he s u m of al l tr i p and track logs saved.
Track logs, the sequence of the positions given by the GPS receiver,
can be saved together with trip logs. They can later be displayed on
the map. You can let the application save the track log whenever it
saves a trip.

6 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 Clarion Mobile Map. 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
Clarion Mobile Map 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. Clarion Mobile Map 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 yo ur position.
Map
Clarion Mobile Map works with digital maps which are not simply the computerised 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 Clarion Mobile Map 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 red arrow on the map by default. The direction of the red
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).
