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 use- ful 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 infor- mation about traffic regulations applicable 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 driv- ing, please follow the actual traffic signs. Also, the system may not know some traffic regula- tions.

!The calculated route is one example of the route to your destination decided by the na- vigation 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 in- stances where the route cannot be set.

!During voice guidance, turns and intersec- tions from the freeway are announced. However, if you pass intersections, turns, and other guidance points in rapid succes- sion, some may delay or not be announced.

!It is possible that guidance may direct you off a freeway 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 in- structed 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 congestion ahead, a detour route may not be suggested if driv- ing through the traffic congestion 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 traffic circle exits displayed on the screen may differ from the actual number of roads.

Route highlighting

!Once set, the route is highlighted in bright color on the map.

!The immediate vicinity of your starting point and destination may not be high- lighted, and neither will areas with particu- larly complex road layouts. Consequently, the route may appear to be cut off on the

display, but voice guidance will con- tinue.
