1 Warnings and Safety information
The navigation system guides you to your destination using the GNSS
(GPS+GLONASS) receiver. The navigation system does not transmit your GPS
position and you cannot be tracked.
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 the navigation system before you start your journey. Plan
the route before your departure and stop if you need to change the
route.
Drive the vehicle according to the road signs and the road shape. If you
deviate from the recommended route, the navigation system changes the
instructions accordingly.
For more information, consult the End-User Terms (page 78).

2 Getting started
The location of the SD card slot diers
depending on the vehicle model.
2.1 Before using the navigation system
To use the navigation system, the SD card containing the map information
needs to be inserted in the SD card slot.

When inserting the SD card, never move the slider on the side of the SD card
to the LOCK position. If the slider is set to LOCK, the SD card cannot be read
and the navigation system will not operate.
This SD card is valid for use in only one vehicle. Never use it in another
vehicle. If the SD card is used first in one vehicle and then in another, the
navigation system for either one of the vehicles may become inoperable.
SD card/map updates
Map and data stored on the SD card can only be modified using the special
Mazda Toolbox application. All details concerning the Mazda Toolbox
application and the method for updating the maps can be found on your
local Mazda website. We strongly recommend that you make a backup copy
of the SD card data using the Mazda Toolbox application before starting
the map updating process. If a problem occurs while updating the SD card
update, it could result in the loss of all the content on the card (such as map
data, software, additional services).
The only way to restore lost data is to use the Mazda Toolbox application and
the copy of the SD card made beforehand.
Insert and remove the SD card with the ignition switched o.

2.4.1 Navigating on the map
The data fields are dierent when you are navigating an active route and
when you have no specified destination (the burgundy line is not displayed).
Field Description
Shows the speed limit of the current road if the
map contains it.
* On some vehicles,
the speed limit of the
current road is not
indicated in the center
display, only the active
driving display.
Shows the distance you need to travel on the
route before reaching your final destination.
Shows the estimated arrival time at the final
destination of the route.
If the navigation system is capable of receiving
live trac information, the calculation takes into
account trac delays aecting your route.
This estimation can be inaccurate at times.
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and
regions.

You can mark a map location in the following ways:
• Select the map during route guidance.
• Select the map when asked so that the destination can be confirmed after
the search is completed.
• Select the destination from the map. (page 42)
When a map location is selected, the Cursor appears at the selected point on
the map. A symbol
for easy visibility of any map scale size.
The location of the Cursor can be used as the destination of the route.
You can search for a POI (point of interest), or you can save it as one of your
Favorites destinations.
You can also select some of the objects on the map. You can then get
information about this object or use it as a route point.
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and
regions.
2.4.3 Objects on the map

The navigation system shows the roads in dierent widths and colors so
that they can be easily identified. A highway/freeway will be thicker and a
dierent color than a small street.

2.4.3.2 Turn preview and Next street
When navigating a route, the top section of the Map screen shows
information about the next maneuver, street or city.
There is an area at the top left part of screen which indicates the next
operation. Displays both the event type (such as turning, detouring, exiting
expressways) and the distance from the current position.
When the next event approaches, the second event is displayed using a small
icon. If there is no second event, only the next event is displayed.
Most of these icons are very intuitive. The same symbols are used in both
fields:
Icon Description

2.4.3.3 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, the navigation system 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.
Lane guidance is provided constantly if there is map information. Signposts
are displayed at the top of the map. The color and style of the signposts are
similar to the real ones you see above road or by the roadside. They show the
available destinations and the number of the road the lane leads to.
When navigating a route, only the signpost that points to the lane(s) to be
taken is displayed in bright colors; all others are darker. All signposts and lane
guidance arrows are displayed in vivid colors while driving (when there is no
recommended route).
16
2.4.3.4 Junction view
If you are approaching a highway/freeway exit or a complex intersection and
the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the
junction. The optimum driving lane is indicated by an arrow, and road signs
are displayed as additional information at the top of the screen.

2.4.3.5 Highway exit information
You may need a gasoline station or a restaurant during your journey. This
function displays on the side panel when driving on a highway.
Select 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.
There are two types of settings for displaying the next expressway exit; one
which constantly displays the next expressway exit while traveling on an
expressway, or the other which displays the next expressway exit only when
the menu panel is open.
You can change the settings in Visual Guidance settings (page 75).

include them and it will show them in a
color that is dierent from the route color.
Road segments may be aected by trac

Convenient operating tips for using the voice recognition function
Examples of eective voice commands in various categories are displayed on
the voice recognition top screen.
It would be convenient to know these usable voice commands in advance.
• The voice commands indicated in this manual are some examples of
usable voice commands.
• When the Barge-In setting is on, voice commands can be made even
while the voice guidance is being announced.
For details on Barge-In, refer to the Settings section in the Mazda
Connect Owner’s Manual.
To prevent mistaken voice recognition, be aware of the following points:
• Speaking in a slightly louder voice will improve voice recognition, but an
excessively loud voice is unnecessary. Try to speak in a slightly louder voice
than when talking to other passengers in the vehicle.
• You do not need to speak slowly. Speak at a normal speed.
• Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.
• Voice commands other than those specified, cannot be recognized. Speak
in the wording specified by the voice commands.
• It is not necessary to face the microphone or approach it. Speak the voice
commands while maintaining a safe driving position.
• Make sure that the air flow from the air conditioner is not blowing on the
microphone.

• When making voice commands during a voice guidance, speak in a slightly
louder voice. But, an excessively loud voice is unnecessary.
• If the voice recognition is poor with the guidance volume set to high, set
