1 Warnings and Safety information
Clarion Mobile Map is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your destination with its 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 something in the route.
Clarion Mobile Map has a Safety Mode: if you turn on Safety Mode, you cannot change anything in
Clarion Mobile Map while the vehicle is moving at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or higher. Unless only
passengers operate Clarion Mobile Map, we strongly encourage you to turn on Safety Mode.
You must obey the traffic signs and follow the road geometry. If you deviate from the route that Clarion
Mobile Map recommended, Clarion Mobile Map changes the instructions accordingly.
Never place any part of the navigation system 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 License Agreement (page 88).

2 Getting started with Clarion Mobile Map
Clarion Mobile Map is optimized for in-car use. You can use it easily by tapping the screen buttons and
the map with your fingertips.

select your destination in the following ways (not all of them are available in Simple mode):
x Use the selected location on the map (the Cursor) (page 31).
x 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 32).
x Enter an address with ZIP code (page 38). This way you do not need to select the name of the city
and the search for street names might be faster as well.
x Use a coordinate (page 42)
x Use a saved location:
x a Favorite (page 40)
x
a POI (page 40)

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 either at the bottom or at the top of the map (the position of
these arrows can be modified in Map Screen settings). Arrows in yellow represent the lanes you need to
take.
Where there is additional information available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are always
displayed at the top of the map. The color 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 that signpost is displayed in vivid colors that points to the lane(s) to be taken; all others are darkened
out.

2.4 Clarion Mobile Map concepts
2.4.1 Smart Zoom
Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:
x While following a route calculated by Clarion Mobile Map: when approaching a turn, it will
zoom in and raise the view angle to let you easily recognize your maneuver 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.
x While driving without an active route in Clarion Mobile Map: Smart Zoom will zoom in if you
drive slowly and zoom out when you drive at high speed.

2.4.3 Daytime and night color profiles
Clarion Mobile Map uses different color profiles during the day and during the night.
x Daytime colors are similar to paper road maps.
x The night color profiles use dark colors for large objects to keep the average brightness of the
screen low.
Clarion Mobile Map offers different daytime and night color profiles. It can also switch automatically
between the daytime and the night schemes depending on the illumination setting.
2.4.4 Color scheme in tunnels
When entering a tunnel, the colors of the map change. All buildings disappear, large objects (such as
surface waters or forests) and empty areas between roads become black.
However, roads and streets keep their original colors from the daytime or night color scheme currently
used.
After leaving the tunnel, the original colors return.
2.4.5 Route calculation and recalculation
Clarion Mobile Map calculates the route based on your preferences:
x Route calculation method:
x Fast
x Short
x Economical
x Easy
x Vehicle types :
x Car
x Taxi
x Bus
x Emergency vehicles
x Road types
x Unpaved Roads
x Permit Needed
x Freeways
x Toll Roads
x Charge Roads
24
x Ferries
x Cross-border Planning
x Carpool (appears only when used in the USA)
Clarion Mobile Map automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary.
For further information about Route Planning options, see page 79.
2.4.6 Itinerary
The Itinerary is the list of the route events, that is, the driving instructions.
When you are on the Map screen, you can display the Itinerary in one of the following ways:
x Tap the area between the Turn preview and the Travel data fields where the symbol of the second

selected maneuver.
2.4.7 Track Logs
Clarion Mobile Map can log the track that you drive (page 47).
A Track Log is a recording of how your GPS position changed and it is independent of the route Clarion
Mobile Map calculated.
Track Logs can be recorded, renamed, replayed, shown on the map, exported to a memory card in GPX
format, and deleted. See page 71.
ndently of the normal track log, you can instruct Clarion Mobile Map to record the native GPS data
Indepe
received from the GPS device. These logs are saved as separate text files on the memory card, and they
cannot be shown or replayed in Clarion Mobile Map.
To turn on NMEA/SIRF log saving, tap the following buttons:

2.4.8 Route demonstration
A simulation drives you through the route, following the driving instructions (page 45). You can choose
from a simulation at high speed or at normal driving speed.
You can use it, for example, to see which bridge Clarion Mobile Map planned for the route; if you do not
want to take that bridge, you can avoid it.
Route demonstrations can be started from the Route menu by tapping the
speed simulation) or the
(simulation at normal speed) button.

2.4.9 POI (Points of Interest)
A point of interest (POI) is a location that someone might find useful or interesting. Clarion Mobile Map is
delivered with thousands of POIs and you can also create your own POIs in the application.
POI locations are marked on the map with special icons. POI icons are quite large so you can easily
recognize the symbol. The icons are semi-transparent: they do not cover the streets and intersections
behind them.
POIs are grouped into several levels of categories and subcategories. The icon of a POI that comes with
the map shows the symbol of the POI category. If you save your own POI, you can select an icon for it
independently of the POI category you have put it in.
Saving POIs
To save a POI, place the Cursor ( ) at the desired location, then tap the following buttons: ,
, .
Managing POIs
You can select which POI groups to show and which ones to hide on the map, and from which zoom
levels POI icons are visible. At the same place you can manage your saved POIs. A saved POI can be
renamed, moved to a different POI group, its icon can be changed, or a phone number and additional
information can be added to it. Tap the following buttons:
, , .
2.4.10 Road Safety Cameras
The location of a Road Safety Camera is a special POI. These cannot be searched like other POIs, and
there is a special proximity warning only for cameras.
