Your Navigation System sets a route to your desti-

 

 

nation 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 automati-

 

 

cally set. Also, for day or time traffic regu-

 

 

lations, 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 con-

 

 

sideration. For example, if a street is open

 

 

during the morning only, but you arrive

 

 

later, it would be against the traffic regula-

Appendix

 

actual traffic signs. Also, the system may

 

 

tions so you cannot drive along the set

 

 

route. When driving, please follow the

 

 

not know some traffic regulations.

purchase from your local Pioneer dealer

 

 

that includes the most current map and

 

 

point of interest information. Contact your

About the route condition

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

How to set the calculation conditions Page 44

For example, when “Fast” and “Avoid Freeway” (“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

Short :

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

Fast :

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 Navi- gation System whilst taking the type of streets or traffic regulations into account. It is not nec- essarily 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, only one route is calculated.

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

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 intersections from the freeway are announced. However, if you pass intersections, 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.
