Automatic Route Calculation
The navigation system displays and tracks your vehicle's position and movement
via a moving map display. When you input a destination, the navigation system
quickly calculates a route and guides you with pictorial displays and voice prompts.
When determining the route, the system can be programmed to minimize the use
of toll roads and freeways.
This system combines GPS signals received with map information stored on DVD-
ROM to display the position and direction of the vehicle. This navigation system
also includes an electronic gyro-sensor and a speed sensor that enable it to
display the present vehicle position even in locations where GPS signals may be
blocked.
Multiple Mode Destination Selection
Desired destinations can be selected among these 10 categories:
• an address
• an major intersection
• a point of interest (POI)
• a recent destination
• your personal address book
• a special feature called Today's Plan
• a location selected directly from the map display
• a phone number
• an origin of the current route
• a latitude and longitude
Street Name Input
Allows you to input your destination's street name (via Address or Intersection
search) if you don't know your destination's city name.
Next Turn Guide
When an upcoming turn is approaching, the system will give maneuver instructions
via arrow guides and simple voice prompts.
Real Time Voice Guidance
Using voice prompts, the system will notify you of upcoming turns and highways to
enter. The VOICE button on the remote control allows you to access this voice
guidance feature at any time with a single press.
Map Zoom
You can change the map display in nine magnification scales to get more detail or
more general views (1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 2, 8, 32, 128 mile zoom scales). A
special 256 mile zoom scale is available when you view a very long route.
