Route Setting Information

Route search specifications

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-

tions 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.

About singular route calculation

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 ➞

For example, when “Fast” and “Avoid Motor-

way” (“On”) are combined, a route that avoids

motorways and has the shortest travel time will

be calculated and displayed on the screen.

Condition 1: whether to put priority on dis-

tance 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 motorway or not

Avoid Motorway:

Calculate a route that avoids motorways. (A route

using the motorway may be set if your destination

is far away.)

• The system assumes that the driver deviated

either intentionally or inadvertently from the

route and searches for another route (intelli-

gent rerouting). Depending on the situation,

the system may search for 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 while 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, 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 way 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 junctions

from the motorway are announced. However,

some junctions, turns, and other guide points

may not be announced if they are passed in

rapid succession.

• It is possible that guidance may direct you off a

motorway and then back on again.

• In some cases, the set route may require you to

travel in the opposite direction of your current

heading. In such cases, you are instructed to

turn around; please do so safely and in accord-

ance with local traffic rules.

• 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 oppo-

site side of a railway or river from your actual

current location. If this happens, drive towards
