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 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 dur-

ing 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 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 pass. If you need to pass a certain street, set the waypoint on that street.)

!If the destination is too far, there may be in- stances 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 intersec- tions from the freeway are announced. However, if you pass intersections, turns, and other guide points in rapid succession, 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, if driving through the traffic congestion is better than taking the detour, a detour route may not be suggested.

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