To Users Updating the Application Program

You need an AV Head Unit or Display with touch panel capability to use this software. Make sure to use a display suitable for this system.

Please read the cautions on the next page before using the CNDV-50MT [CNDV50MTP] disc as there is a possible risk that the stored user-registered data may lost upon completion of the update. Please be aware that the manufacturer cannot take any

responsibility for lost data in the event the data is lost. Upgrading to the newer version ➞ page 57

Notice to all users:

This software requires that the navigation unit be properly connected to your vehicle’s parking brake. If not properly connected and depending on your vehicle, additional installation may be required. For more information, please contact your Authorized Pioneer Electronics retailer or call us at (800)421-1404.

Cautions on Updating the Application Program of the Navigation System:

• Stop the vehicle in a safe location. While the program update is in progress, ensure that the power supply of the Navigation System is not turned off.

• When the update procedure is complete, the Navigation System will be restarted.After the system has started up again, make sure not to turn off the power supply for the Navigation System until the map of your surroundings appears.

• During the update process, there is the possible risk of the “Address Book”(*) data and the “Destination History” data being lost. It is highly recommended to use a PC Card (PCMCIA TYPE II <5 V>) to back up Address Book data. (Since the “Destination History” cannot be stored on a PC Card directly, to keep the “Destination History” data, first store it in the Address Book, then onto the PC Card.) *“Address Book” data includes “Return Home” and “Go to” contents.

•Any existing calculated routes will be canceled.

•Personalized settings will return to their factory settings.

Application Program Update Procedure

Refer to the update procedure in the “Installing the Program” section (P.57) of this manual.

The screen shown in the example may differ from the actual screen. The actual screen may be changed without notice for performance and function improvements.

Important Safety Information

Before using your Navigation System, be sure to read and fully understand the following safety information:

❒ Read the entire manual before operating this

Navigation System.

❒ The navigation features are intended solely as

an aid to you in the operation of your vehicle. It is not a substitute for your attentiveness, judgment, and care when driving.

❒ Do not operate this Navigation System if

doing so in any way will divert your attention from the safe operation of your vehicle. Always observe safe driving rules and follow all existing traffic regulations. If you experience difficulty in operating the system of reading the display, park your vehicle in a safe location and apply the parking brake before making the necessary adjustments.

❒ Never allow others to use the system unless

they have read and understood the operating instructions.

❒ Never use this Navigation System to route to

hospitals, police stations, or similar facilities in an emergency. Please call 911.

❒ Route and guidance information displayed by

this equipment is for reference purposes only. It may not accurately reflect the latest permissible routes, road conditions, one way streets, road closures, or traffic restrictions.

❒ Traffic restrictions and advisories currently in

force should always take precedence over guidance given by the navigation system. Always obey current traffic restrictions, even if the navigation system provides contrary advice.

❒ Failure to input correct information about the

local time may result in the navigation system providing improper routing and guidance instructions.

❒ Never set the volume of your Navigation Sys-

tem so high that you cannot hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles.

❒ To promote safety, certain functions are dis-

abled unless the parking brake is applied.

❒ The data encoded in the disc is the intellec-

tual property of the provider, and the provider is responsible for such content.

❒ Keep this manual handy as a reference for

operating procedures and safety information.

❒ Pay close attention to all warnings in this

manual and follow the instructions carefully.

❒ Do not install the display where it may (i)

Using the most current map DVDs will allow for most accurate destination mapping. Upgrade DVDs are available for purchase through your local Pioneer dealer.

Before viewing the DVD video using the navigation unit’s built-in DVD player, first stop the vehicle in a safe place and apply the parking brake. The display is controlled in combination with the brake to prevent the display of the video unless the parking brake is applied.

To watch a DVD or TV, park your vehicle in a safe place and apply the parking brake.

When pressing the reset button of AV Head Unit or AV System Display while Navigation System and AV Head Unit or AV System Display are combined, make sure that ACC (ignition) is tuned OFF. If the reset button is pressed while ACC (ignition) is ON, it may not work properly.

Touch Panel Operation When Using NAVI Source

When the system is combined with the Pioneer AV Head Unit or AV System Display, if you use

the built-in DVD player to play a DVD-Video or CD when using the NAVI Source, the operation buttons are displayed on the screen and a few limited operations can be performed.

The accuracy of the GPS information depends on how good the reception is. When the signals are strong and reception is good, GPS can determine latitude, longitude, and altitude for accurate positioning in three dimensions. But if signal quality is poor, only two dimensions, latitude and longitude, can be obtained and positioning errors are somewhat greater.

Cautions when connecting a Rear Display to the Front Display

The map screen navigation images output to the rear display differ from standard NTSC format images. Therefore, their quality will be inferior to the images that appear on the front display.

➲ Switching the rear display ➞ the manual for

the display you are combining.

Positioning Technology

The Navigation System accurately measures your current location by combining the positioning by GPS and by Dead Reckoning.

Positioning by GPS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses a network of satellites orbiting the Earth. Each of the satellites, which orbit at a height of 68,900,000 feet (21,000 km), continually broadcasts radio signals giving time and position information. This ensures that signals from at least three can be picked up from any open area on the earth’s surface.

Positioning by dead reckoning

The 3D Hybrid Sensor in the main unit also calculates your position. The current location is measured by detecting driving distance with the speed pulse, the turning direction with the Gyrosensor, and inclination of the road with the G sensor.

The 3D Hybrid Sensor can even calculate changes of altitude, and corrects for discrepancies in the distance traveled caused by driving along winding roads or up slopes. Also, the Navigation System learns the driving conditions and stores information in the memory; thus, as you drive more, the precision of the positioning becomes more accurate.

The method of positioning changes as follows depending on whether the speed pulse of your vehicle is detected or not:

3D hybrid mode

This is active when the speed pulse is detected. Inclination of a road can be detected.

Appendix

Simple hybrid mode

When the speed pulse is not detected, positioning is performed in this mode. Only horizontal movement is detected, so it becomes less accurate. Also, when the positioning by GPS is not available, such as when your vehicle enters a long tunnel, the discrepancy between your actual and calculated position may become bigger.

❒ The speed pulse data comes from the speed

sensing circuit. The location of this speed sensing circuit depends on your vehicle model. In some cases, it is impossible to make a connection to it, and in such a case we recommend that the ND-PG1 speed pulse generator (sold separately) be used.

How do GPS and dead reckoning work together?

For maximum accuracy, your Navigation System continually compares GPS data with your estimated position as calculated from the data of 3D Hybrid Sensor. However, if only the data from the 3D Hybrid Sensor is available for a long period, positioning errors are gradually compounded until the estimated position becomes unreliable. For this reason, whenever GPS signals are available, they are matched with the data of the 3D Hybrid Sensor and used to correct it for improved

Appendix

accuracy.

❒ If the ND-PG1 is used or if your vehicle is oper-

ating in Simple hybrid mode, the distance calculation value cannot be replaced automatically.

Map matching

As mentioned, the GPS and dead reckoning systems used by this Navigation System are susceptible to certain errors. Their calculations may, on occasion, place you in a location on the map where no road exists. In this situation, the processing system understands that vehicles travel only on roads, and can correct your position by adjusting it to a nearby road. This is called map matching.

With map matching

To ensure maximum accuracy, the dead reckoning system learns with experience. By comparing the position it estimates with your actual position as obtained using GPS, it can correct for various types of error, such as tire wear and the rolling motion of your vehicle. As you drive, the dead reckoning system gradually gathers more data, learns more, and the accuracy of its estimates gradually increases. So, after you have driven some distance, you can expect your position as shown on the map to show fewer errors.

❒ If you use chains on your wheels for winter

driving, or if you put on the spare wheel, the errors may appear to suddenly increase because of the increased wheel diameter. The system detects the fact that the tire diameter has changed, and automatically replaces the value for calculating distance.

Without map matching

Handling Large Errors

Positioning errors are kept to a minimum by combining GPS, Dead Reckoning, and map matching. However, in some situations, these functions may not work properly, and the error may become bigger.

When the positioning by GPS is impossible

• If signals cannot be received from more than two GPS satellites, GPS positioning does not take place.

• In some driving conditions, signals from GPS satellites may not reach your vehicle. In this

case, it is impossible for the system to use GPS positioning.

In tunnels or enclosed parking garages

Under elevated roads or similar

Vehicles that Cannot Obtain Speed Pulse Data

❒ The speed pulse data comes from the speed

Conditions Likely to Cause Noticeable Positioning Errors

For various reasons such as the state of the road you are traveling on and the state of reception of the GPS signal, the actual position of your vehicle may differ from the position displayed on the map screen.

• If you make a shallow turn.

When driving among high buildings

When driving through a dense forest or tall trees

• If a vehicle phone or cellular phone is used near the GPS antenna, GPS reception may be lost temporarily.

• Do not cover the GPS antenna with spray paint or vehicle wax, because this may block the reception of GPS signals. Snow buildup can also degrade the signals, so keep the antenna clear.

❒ If, for any reason, GPS signals cannot be

received, learning and error correction are not possible. If GPS positioning has been operating for only a short time, your vehicle’s actual position and the current location mark on the map may diverge considerably. Once GPS reception is restored, accuracy will be recovered.

Appendix

• If there is a parallel road.

• If there is another road very nearby, such as in the case of an elevated freeway.

• If you take a recently opened road that is not on the map.

• If you drive in zig-zags.

• If you are driving on a long, straight road or a gently curving road.

• If you are on a steep mountain road with many height changes.

• If the road has connected hairpin bends.

Appendix

• When driving with Guide View, Route View or Driver’s View, upon entering an unrecorded area the display automatically switches to Map View. (When the vehicle re-enters an area stored on the disc, the display returns to the previous map mode except for Driver’s

View.)

Destination search

• You cannot search a destination in an unrecorded area using Address Search, POI Search, or Telephone Search. (In case of the POI search, only “City Center” search is possible.)

• If you cannot search in a currently selected zone, the system may forcibly switch to the zone selection screen.

•A Freeway Search covers all areas, regard- less of the disc on which the information is recorded.

• If a Vicinity Search is performed on the border of an unrecorded area, the system will not necessarily select the nearest facility. (The search will take place only within the range of areas recorded on the disc.)

Appendix

Guidance

• When your vehicle approaches an unrecorded area, you will be notified three times: when the distance to the unrecorded area is 12 mi (20 km), 6 mi (10 km) and 3 mi (5 km) respectively. When your vehicle enters the unrecorded area, a caution is given.

• In the unrecorded area, only guidance for reaching the destination is provided. No other guidance is given.

• If a route calculation is operated within an unrecorded area, the route might not be set from the streets you are currently driving. Also, if you set the destination in an unrecorded area of the disc, the system may not be able to set the route up to the destination.

• If the vehicle deviates from the set route in an unrecorded area, the Auto Reroute function will not work.

• Even if “Close-up of Junction” is “On”, the display will not switch to an enlarged map of the intersection.

• The arrow indicating the traveling direction will not be displayed in the Audio screen.

Route information

• If the set route goes through an unrecorded area, no route profile for the unrecorded area will be displayed. (If the set route traverses both an unrecorded area and area stored on

the disc, only the route profile within the recorded area will be displayed.)

• Route scrolling for an unrecorded area is possible only with a map scale of 0.5 mi or above.

Other function limitations

Overlay POI

• Overlay POI is not available in an unrecorded area.

Avoid area

• An area not stored on the disc cannot be set as an Area to Avoid.

❒ A set Area to Avoid may be deleted when the

software is updated. If this happens, the system will automatically try to recover the deleted information, but data can be recovered only for areas stored on the disc. For items that could not be recovered, a recovery process will begin when you set another disc.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems operating your Navigation System, refer to this section. The most common problems are listed below, along with likely causes and solutions. While this list is not comprehensive, it should answer your most common problems. If a solution to your problem cannot be found here, contact your dealer or the nearest authorized Pioneer service facility.

The fuse is blown. Rectify the reason for the fuse blow-

The quality of signals from the GPS satellites is poor, causing reduced positioning accuracy. Such a loss of signal quality may happen for the following reasons:

•The GPS antenna is in an unsuitable location.

•Obstacles are blocking signals from the satellites.

•The position of satellites relative to your vehicle is bad.

•Signals from the GPS satellites have been modified to reduce accuracy. (GPS satellites are operated by the US Department of Defense, and the US government reserves the right to distort positioning data for military reasons. This may lead to greater positioning errors.)

•If a vehicle phone or cellular phone is used near the GPS antenna, GPS reception may be lost temporarily.

•Do not cover the GPS antenna with spray paint or vehicle wax, because this may block the reception of GPS signals. Snow buildup can also degrade the signals.

Appendix

Route Setting Information

Route search specifications

Your Navigation System sets a route to your destination by applying certain built-in rules to the map data. This section provides some useful information about how a route is set.

• When a route is calculated, the route and voice guidance for the route is automatically set. Also, for day or time traffic regulations, only information about traffic regulations at the time when the route was calculated is shown. One-way streets and street closures may not be taken into consideration. For example, if a street is open during the morning only, but you arrive later, it would be against the traffic regulations so you cannot drive along the set route. When driving, please follow the actual traffic signs. Also, the system may not know some traffic regulations.

• Update Navigation DVDs are available for purchase from your local Pioneer dealer that includes the most current map and point of interest information. Contact your local Pioneer dealer for details.

About the route condition

When the calculation of only one route is set, you can search a route option by combining the following conditions.

➲ How to set the calculation conditions ➞

Page 32

For example, when “Fastest” and “Avoid Free- way” (“On”) are combined, the route, which avoids freeway, and has the shortest travel time, will be calculated and displayed on the screen.

Condition 1 :whether to put priority on the distance, or time

Shortest :

Calculate a route with the shortest distance to your destination as a priority.

Fastest :

Calculate a route with the shortest travel time to your destination as a priority.

Condition 2 :whether to use freeway or not

Avoid Freeway :

Calculate a route that avoids freeway. (A route using the freeway may be set if your destination is far away.)

• The system assumes the driver deviated either intentionally or inadvertently from the route and searches for another route (intelligent rerouting). Depending on the situation, the system may search a new route that does not return to the original one.

• The calculated route is one example of the route to your destination decided by the Navigation System whilst taking the type of streets or traffic regulations into account. It is not necessarily an optimum route. (In some cases, you may not be able to set the streets you want to pass. If you want to pass a certain street, set the way point on that street.)

• The route set by your Navigation System is based on the assumption that the driver does not know the area. Thus, the streets known to local drivers, such as small streets or special roads, may not be used for the set route.

• Some route options may become the same route. If visiting points are set, or the route is set by voice operation, only one route is calculated.

• Route setting is limited to the range of the disc in use.

• When the destination is too far, there may be instances where the route cannot be set. (If you want to set a long-distance route going across several areas, set way points along the way.)

• During voice guidance, turns and junctions from the freeway are announced. However, if you pass junctions, turns, and other guide points in rapid succession, some may not be announced.

• It is possible that guidance may direct you off a freeway and then back on again.

• In some cases, the set route may require you to travel in the opposite direction to your current heading. In such cases, you are instructed to turn around, so please turn around safely by following the actual traffic rules.

Appendix

• In some cases, guidance may direct you past your destination and then indicate a U-turn to get back to it.

• In some cases, a route may begin on the opposite side of a railway or river from your actual current location. If this happens, drive towards your destination for a while, and try route calculation again.

• In the following cases, the route that passes through an Area to Avoid may be set:

- when your vehicle is in the Area to Avoid

- when your destination or way points are in

the Area to Avoid

- when it is not possible to avoid doing so

• If a suitable route cannot be set in compliance with the specified “Detour” distance, or your preference to avoid freeways, toll roads, ferry route, the setting or parameter may be ignored.

• There may be instances when the starting point and the destination point are not on the highlighted route.

• The number of traffic circle exits displayed on the screen may differ from the actual number of roads.

Auto Reroute

• Auto Reroute function will work when you deviate more than 0.01 mi (30 m) from your route.

Appendix

• Auto Reroute function does not work in the following cases:

- when you are too close to your destination

- when your vehicle is not on a street

- when your vehicle is on a ferry

- when driving on a road inside a facility

- when driving on a traffic circle

- when driving on the routes are described in

“Roads not Used in Calculations”

Roads not Used in Calculations

Even though displayed onscreen, the following roads are not included in route calculations.

• Stubble Road

• Walk Way

• Public vehicle only

• Non routable road

Intersection enlargement

• When “Close-up of Junction” is on, the map scale increases to show more detail as you approach an intersection.

• If the intersection is approached in a gentle curve, the map displayed may differ from the actual road layout.

Tracking

• Your Navigation System marks your course on the map in certain increments. This is called tracking. It is handy when you want to check a route traveled without guidance or if returning along a complex route.

•A maximum of about 145 miles (230 km) is marked and, as you travel beyond this limit, tracking marks are erased in order from the most distant. Tracking display shows about 100 miles tracking of your vehicle with white dots.

➲ Tracking can also be set for automatic erasing

whenever the Navigation System is switched off ➞ Page 50

Route highlighting

• Once set, the route is highlighted in bright green or light blue on the map.

• The immediate vicinity of your starting point and destination may not be highlighted, and neither will areas with particularly complex road layouts. Consequently, the route may appear to be cut off on the display, but voice guidance will continue.

Types of the Road Stored in the Disc

There are three types of roads in the map of this disc.

Roads included in the Route Guidance and roads not Included

Turn by Turn Routable Roads contain full

attribute data and can be used for full Route Guidance. Pioneer Navigation will display full route guidance, including turn-by-turn voice directions and arrow icons.

Routable Roads (The Route displayed and highlighted in Purple Color) have only basic

data and can only be used to plot a navigable route. Pioneer Navigation will only display a navigable route on the map (only the arrival guidance for the destination or a way point is available). Please review and obey all local traffic rules along the highlighted route. (For your safety.) No turn-by-turn directions or arrow icons will be displayed on these roads. When your vehicle reaches to the entrance of this road, the icon will be displayed, indicating that the guidance is not available with this type of road. The icon will be indicated for the road with which the guidance is available. The Close-up of intersection function, Auto Reroute function, Changing the view to Guide View, or Route View are not available.

Non routable roads (pink color road)

Map display is possible, but it cannot be used for the route calculation. Please review and obey all local traffic rules along this route. (For your safety.)
