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.
! CAUTION
When a route is calculated, the route and
voice guidance for the route are automatically
set. Also, for day or time traffic regulations,
only information about traffic regulations
applicable at the time when the route was
calculated is considered. 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.
• The calculated route is one example of the
route to your destination decided by the
navigation system while 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 take. If you need to take
a certain street, set a waypoint on that
street.)
• If 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 waypoints along
the way.)
• During voice guidance, turns and
intersections from the motorway are
announced. However, if you pass
intersections, turns, and other guidance
points in rapid succession, some may delay
or not be announced.
• It is possible that guidance may direct you
off a motorway and then back on again.
• In some cases, the 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.
• 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.
• When there is a traffic jam ahead, a detour
route may not be suggested if driving
through the traffic jam would still be better
than taking the detour.
• There may be instances when the starting
point, the waypoint and the destination
point are not on the highlighted route.
• The number of roundabout exits displayed
on the screen may differ from the actual
number of roads.
Route highlighting
• Once set, the route is highlighted in bright
colour 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.
Auto reroute function
• If you deviate from the set route, the system
will re-calculate the route from that point so
that you remain on track to the destination.
• This function may not work under certain
conditions.
Handling and care of discs
Some basic precautions are necessary when
handling your discs.
Built-in drive and care
• Use only conventional, fully circular discs.
Do not use shaped discs.
• Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or
otherwise damaged discs as they may
damage the built-in drive.
• When using discs that can be printed on
label surfaces, check the instructions and
