Introduction  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your  
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement  
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer  
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level.  
One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—  
and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of  
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard  
against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.  
To establish a safe level:  
• Start your volume control at a low setting.  
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distor-  
tion.  
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
• Set the dial and leave it there.  
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After  
all, we want you listening for a lifetime.  
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since  
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and  
the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid pro-  
longed exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Features of Your DVD Navigation System  
A “chip specifically for the positioning accuracy” and “3D Hybrid Sensor” are fitted.  
High precision navigation can thus be achieved.  
Fitting a chip specifically for positioning accuracy capable of determining the position of  
your car, has further enhanced its high precision features. In addition, 3D Hybrid Sensor  
installed in this unit calculates the distance covered by your car precisely, taking into consid-  
eration the contour of the road (hills).  
Location precision is further improved by “map matching” function.  
Location precision is further improved by the exploitation of information from several GPS  
satellites and a map matching function.  
Traffic information is reflected in route guidance in real time.  
When you connect CUE Receiver to this unit, traffic jam information can be confirmed on a  
map using CUE road traffic information. In addition, should a traffic jam occur along the  
route being taken under guidance, a new route guidance avoiding this traffic jam is possible.  
Display of various guidance screens  
Integration between navigation and audio has been implemented.  
Pioneer’s audio equipment can be used with the navigation screen, by addition of the AVH-  
P6400CD or AVH-P6400 display sold separately. Furthermore, not only is conventional voice  
operation for navigation possible, but also voice operation of AV equipment became possible.  
Background image can be changed.  
You can choose the image to display on the background of the screen during the navigation  
operation or while playing audio.You can also select from preset images for the display while  
playing audio.

Guidance to Your Destination  
Route Guidance by Your Navigation System  
After setting the route, once you start your car, route guidance by display and voice begins.  
When you arrive at your destination, a message indicating the completion of route guidance  
appears, and the normal map display returns.  
Route guidance by display and voice  
Once the route to your destination is set, the map of your surroundings automatically appears,  
and route guidance starts. On the map, a bright green line, extending from the symbol that  
denotes your car, shows the route.  
Information guided by voice  
Your Navigation System guides the following information with the timing adjusted to the  
speed of your car:  
• Distance to the next turning point  
• Traveling direction  
• Road number of the freeway  
• Way point  
Your destination  
If you did not hear the voice guidance properly, press the GUIDE button on the Remote  
Control to listen to it again.  
Display during the route guidance  
There are four types of displays available during the route guidance: “Map View”, “Driver’s  
View”, “Arrow View” and “Guide View”. You can switch the view by clicking the OK but-  
ton; the display cycles through the modes: “Map View” “Driver’s View” “Arrow  
View” “Guide View” and back to “Map View”.  
For the details of viewing the display, see “How to Use the Map” on page 37.  
When you approach an intersection, the display automatically switches to an enlarged  
map of the intersection to help you drive through it. You can change the setting so that this  
enlarged map does not appear. For details, see “Close-up of Intersection” on page 101.

If you stray from the route  
If, for any reason, you stray from the suggested route, you can automatically search the route  
to get back on track. This function is called “Auto Reroute”, and you can set it On or Off in  
the Settings menu. For details, see Chapter 5.  
If “Auto Reroute” is set “Off” and the display is in mode except “Map View”, when you stray  
from the route, the display automatically switches to “Map View” and a map of your sur-  
roundings appears. When you return to the suggested route, the display returns to each  
view, and route guidance restarts.  
If the new route requires you to travel in the opposite direction to your current heading,  
guidance informing you that you need to turn around to get back to the route is displayed.  
If you stray from the route being guided, and enter a new street not recorded in the disc,  
the Navigation System automatically switches to “Map View”.  
If you stop during the route guidance  
remembers your destination and route information. When you start your car engine again, the  
route guidance resumes from your current location.  
If you parked off the set route, the route guidance resumes when you return to the set route.  
Also the estimated time of arrival or travel time to your destination reappears when you return  
to the set route.  
When receiving traffic information ahead on the set route  
This device periodically checks the traffic information of the set route. When traffic informa-  
tion is received, a message appears on the display and is spoken by the voice guidance. In the  
default setting of the Navigation System, if “Auto Traffic Reroute ” is set ON, this device  
automatically calculates a detour route when receiving information on a traffic jam. For  
details, “Confirming Traffic Information Ahead on the Set Route” below.

Basics of Voice Operation  
Your Pioneer Navigation System comes with the latest in voice recognition technology.You can  
use voice commands to operate many of its functions. This chapter describes where you can use  
voice commands, and also what commands the system accepts.  
Flow of voice operation  
You can start voice operation any time even when the map screen is displayed or audio is  
operated.  
The basic steps of voice operation are as follows. The steps are almost the same as when  
using the Remote Control.  
1. Press the TALK button to activate voice operation.  
2. Speak a command into the microphone.  
3. When the command is recognized, it is repeated.  
4. As necessary, repeat Steps 2 and 3.  
5. The voice command is carried out.  
With the “CD-SR80” Steering Remote Control (sold separately), you can press the BAND  
button and the F button to switch on the operation mode of the Steering Remote Control.  
When the operation mode is switched on, by pressing the BAND button of the Steering  
Remote Control, you can activate voice operation, which is equivalent of pressing the TALK  
button. (“CD-SR90” and “CD-SR100” can be used as well. For the details of their operation,  
see the instruction manuals attached to them.)  
When your Navigation System starts, you can also enter the password using your voice.

Operating by only voice when the Navigation System is started  
If you set “Auto Voice Recognition” in the Settings menu “ON”, you can operate from enter-  
ing the password up to route setting by only voice after the engine of your car is started (only  
when the route is not set).  
In this case, the operation is performed as follows:  
1
2
3
4
Start the engine of your car.  
Confirm the message displayed on the screen, and sayOK” to the microphone.  
When the screen to enter password appears, say the set password.  
Select and speak a command you want from the commands you can speak (dis-  
played on the screen).  
If you press the button on the Remote Control in the middle of the operation, voice opera-  
tion mode is canceled.

If you are not used to voice operation  
While you are still learning voice operation features, and want to use voice commands, it is  
recommended that you first park your car in a safe place and look at the commands shown by  
the Voice Help menu.  
When your car is parked with the parking brake on, press the TALK button to display a list of  
available voice commands (Voice Help menu). Display of the Voice Help menu can be turned  
on /off with “Voice Recognition Help” in the Settings menu.  
When you speak one of the commands in the list; the command is carried out.  
When voice command is not accepted  
When all the voice commands cannot be shown in one screen  
To scroll through the rest of the menu, simply use the Scale Control. You can also display it  
by saying “Next Page”.  
To continue to use voice operation, speak a command.  
When you are used to voice operation features and no longer need Voice Help, you can  
switch it off. For details, see “Voice Recognition Help” on page 104.  
To cancel voice operation  
You can cancel voice operation features at any time by pressing the NAVI button or pressing  
the TALK button downwards on the Remote Control. After you cancel voice operation, the  
map is displayed.

An example of voice operation  
When using the voice command, it is important to get the timing correct. Before speaking,  
you must first wait for the “Please request command” message. After the message is played, a  
Beep tone indicates that it is now your turn to speak, and the mark showing that you can  
speak is displayed.  
In this example, you want to search for the nearest gas station. When presented with a list of  
search options, you say the number to the left of the option you want to select.  
1
Press theTALK button.  
A list of commands for voice operation appears. After the “Please request command”  
message, the beep indicates that the system is ready to accept your voice command. You  
say a command after this beep.  
If no command is made in the next 6 seconds, voice recognition is canceled and the  
Navigation System is on hold until the next operation. Press the TALK button to reacti-  
vate voice operation.  
If you want to listen to the message of the Navigation System, say “Repeat”.  
If you want to return to the previous screen, say “Back”.  
2
Say “New Destination”.  
Speak all commands towards the microphone. If the voice command is recognized, the  
command appears on the screen, and the system voice repeats it. Then, a message to  
prompt the next operation is given.  
3
SayPOI in vicinity”.  
You say the contents you want to operate. Here, selection method of your destination is  
specified. When you want to search the gas station nearest to the current location, say  
“POI in vicinity”. When you speak the command, the Navigation System displays the  
command it recognized and the system voice repeats it.  
If a command that you did not intend is recognized, press the TALK button or say “Next  
Option”. Other available commands are then shown. If you then press the TALK button  
within 3 seconds, yet more commands are shown. Repeat this until the command you  
want to use is shown.  
169

5
Say “Gas Station”.  
The map of the nearest gas station is shown. The message, “Would you like to stop by?”  
follows.  
After confirming the location, sayYes”.  
With the location shown on the map set as the destination (or way point), the route calcu-  
lation starts.  
If you want to see maps with other options, at Step 5 say “Next”.  
If you say “No”, the message “You can return to previous mode by pressing the (Back)  
button” appears. If you perform other operations instead of pressing the Back button,  
voice operation is canceled, and the map screen appears.

Tips for Voice Operation  
For your voice commands to be correctly recognized and interpreted, ensure that conditions are  
suitable for recognition.  
Reduce the volume setting on your car audio system  
The voice recognition system may have problems distinguishing your voice commands from  
background noise. Turn down your audio system: remember that voices on the radio might be  
interpreted as commands.  
If you have a Pioneer AV Head Unit (except AVH-P6400CD and AVH-P6400) with a muting  
function (one that has an Yellow/black lead), the volume will automatically be reduced  
when you give a voice command (see “Voice Recognition Mute” on page 103).  
Close the car windows  
Just as your audio system may interfere with voice operation, so can wind noise caused by  
open windows and sounds entering from outside. If you have problems with voice recogni-  
tion, try closing the car windows.  
Position the microphone carefully  
For optimum pick-up, the microphone should be fixed at a suitable distance directly in front  
of the driver. Make sure that you do not need to alter your position or look away from the road  
ahead when giving voice commands; not only is this awkward, but it can also compromise  
driving safety. Bear this in mind when choosing where to attach the microphone.  
Pause before giving a command  
After pressing the TALK button on the Remote Control, pause for a moment after the confir-  
mation beep before giving your command. Speaking too soon may cause the recognition to  
fail. If you still experience recognition problems, leave a slightly longer pause before giving a  
command.  
Pronounce your commands carefully  
Speak slowly, deliberately and clearly. Fast or mumbled commands are easily misinterpreted.  
If the microphone is properly positioned, there is no need to raise your voice when giving  
commands.

Appendix  
Positioning Technology  
The Navigation System accurately measures your current location by combining the positioning by GPS  
and by Dead Reckoning.  
Positioning by GPS  
The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses a network of satellites orbiting the Earth. Each of the satel-  
lites, which orbit at a height of xxxfeet (21,000)km, continually broadcasts radio signals giving time and  
position information. This ensures that signals from at least three can be picked up from any open area on  
the earth’s surface.  
The accuracy of the GPS information depends on how good the reception is. When the signals are strong  
and reception is good, GPS can determine latitude, longitude, and altitude for accurate positioning in  
three dimensions. But if signal quality is poor, only two dimensions, latitude and longitude, can be  
obtained and positioning errors are somewhat greater.  
Positioning by dead reckoning  
The 3D Hybrid Sensor in the main unit also calculates your position. The current location is measured by  
detecting driving distance with the speed pulse, the turning direction with the Gyrosensor, and inclina-  
tion of the road with the G sensor.  
The 3D Hybrid Sensor can even calculate changes of altitude, and corrects for discrepancies in the dis-  
tance travelled caused by driving along winding roads or up slopes. Also, the Navigation System learns  
the driving conditions and stores information in the memory; thus, as you drive more, the precision of the  
positioning becomes more accurate.  
The method of positioning changes as follows depending on whether the speed pulse of your car is  
detected or not:  
3D hybrid mode  
This is active when the speed pulse is detected. Inclination of a street can be detected.  
Simple hybrid mode  
When the speed pulse is not detected, positioning is performed in this mode. Only horizontal movement  
is detected, so it becomes less accurate. Also, when the positioning by GPS is not available, such as when  
your car enters a long tunnel, the discrepancy between your actual and calculated position may become  
bigger.  
The speed pulse data comes from the speed sensing circuit. The location of this speed  
sensing circuit depends on your car model. In some cases, it is impossible to make a con-  
nection to it, and in such a case we recommend that the ND-PG1 speed pulse generator  
(sold separately) be used.

How do GPS and dead reckoning work together?  
For maximum accuracy, your Navigation System continually compares GPS data with your estimated  
position as calculated from the data of 3D Hybrid Sensor. However, if only the data from the 3D Hybrid  
Sensor is available for a long period, positioning errors are gradually compounded until the estimated  
the data of the 3D Hybrid Sensor and used to correct it for improved accuracy.  
To ensure maximum accuracy, the dead reckoning system learns with experience. By comparing the  
position it estimates with your actual position as obtained using GPS, it can correct for various types of  
error, such as tire wear and the rolling motion of your car. As you drive, the dead reckoning system grad-  
ually gathers more data, learns more, and the accuracy of its estimates gradually increases. So, after you  
have driven some distance, you can expect your position as shown on the map to show fewer errors.  
If you use chains on your wheels for winter driving, or if you put on the spare wheel, the  
errors may appear to suddenly increase because of the increased wheel diameter. To pre-  
vent the contamination of previously acquired learning data, learning automatically stops  
when such errors suddenly appear.  
There are two learning memories, so the Navigation System can learn about and compen-  
sate for two different tire sets, such as summer and winter tires (see “Checking sensor  
learning status and driving status” on page 95 for details).  
Map matching  
As mentioned, the GPS and dead reckoning systems used by this Navigation System are susceptible to  
certain errors. Their calculations may, on occasion, place you in a location on the map where no road  
exists. In this situation, the processing system understands that cars travel only on roads, and can correct  
your position by adjusting it to a nearby road. This is called map matching.

Handling Large Errors  
Positioning errors are kept to a minimum by combining GPS, Dead Reckoning, and map matching. How-  
ever, in some situations, these functions may not work properly, and the error may become bigger.  
When the positioning by GPS is impossible  
If signals cannot be received from more than two GPS satellites, GPS positioning does not take place.  
In some driving conditions, signals from GPS satellites may not reach your car. In this case, it is  
impossible for the system to use GPS positioning.  
In tunnels or enclosed parking garages  
Under elevated roads or similar  
When driving among high buildings  
When driving through a dense forest or tall trees  
If a car phone or cellular phone is used near the GPS aerial, GPS reception may be lost temporarily.  
Do not cover the GPS aerial with spray paint or car wax, because this may block the reception of GPS  
signals. Snow buildup can also degrade the signals, so keep the aerial clear.  
If, for any reason, GPS signals cannot be received, learning and error correction are not  
possible. If GPS positioning has been operating for only a short time, your car’s actual  
position and the current location mark on the map may diverge considerably. Once GPS  
reception is restored, accuracy will be recovered.

Conditions likely to cause noticeable positioning errors  
Certain conditions are more likely to cause discrepancies between your actual position and the location  
shown on the map display.  
If you make a shallow turn  
If there is a parallel road  
If there is another road very nearby, such as in the case of an elevated freeway  
If you take a recently opened road that is not on the map  
If you drive in zig-zags  
If the road has connected hairpin bends  
If there is a loop or similar road configuration  
If you take a ferry  
If you are driving on a long, straight road or a gently curving road  
If you are on a steep mountain road with many height changes  
If you enter or exit a multi-storey parking lot or similar using a spiral ramp  
If your car is turned on a turntable or similar  
If your car’s wheels spin, such as on a gravel road or in snow  
If you put on chains, or change your tires for some of a different size  
If trees or other obstacles block the GPS signals for a considerable period  
If you drive very slowly, or in a start-and-stop manner, as in a traffic jam  
If you join the road after driving around a large parking lot  
When you pass around a traffic circle  
When starting driving immediately after starting the engine  
If you insert the disc and turn your Navigation System on while driving  
Some types of car may not output a speed signal while driving at just a few miles (kilometers) per hour.  
In such a case, the mark indicating your car’s current location may not be displayed correctly while in a  
traffic jam or in a parking lot.

Troubleshooting  
If you have problems operating your Navigation System, refer to this section. The most common problems  
are listed below, along with likely causes and solutions. While this list is not comprehensive, it should  
answer your most common problems. If a solution to your problem cannot be found here, contact your  
dealer or the nearest authorized Pioneer service facility.  
You cannot position your car on the map or the positioning error is large.  
Possible causes:  
(1) The quality of signals from the GPS satellites is poor, causing reduced positioning accuracy.  
Such a loss of signal quality may happen for the following reasons:  
The GPS aerial is in an unsuitable location.  
The position of satellites relative to your car is bad.  
Signals from the GPS satellites have been modified to reduce accuracy. (GPS satellites are oper-  
ated by the US Department of Defense, and the US government reserves the right to distort posi-  
tioning data for military reasons. This may lead to greater positioning errors.)  
(2) Signals from the car’s speed pulse are not being picked up properly.  
(3) The main unit may not be mounted securely in your car.  
(4) Your car is operating in Simple hybrid mode (see “Positioning by dead reckoning” on page 173).  
(5) Setting of Installation direction lever is wrong.  
(6) Main unit is installed with extreme angle exceeding the limitation of the installation angle.  
(7) Indication of the position of your car is misaligned after a U-turn or reversing.  
Solutions:  
(1) Check the GPS signal reception using “GPS Status” (see “Checking positioning information by sat-  
ellite” on page 94) and the position of the GPS aerial if necessary, or continue driving until reception  
improves.  
(2) Check that the cables are properly connected. If necessary, consult the dealer that installed the sys-  
tem.  
(3) Check that the main unit is securely mounted and, if necessary, consult the dealer that installed the  
system.  
(4) Connect the speed signal input (pink lead wire) of the power wire correctly, and reset the 3D Hybrid  
Sensor.  
(5) Check the attachment position of the main unit of your Navigation System and the setting of the  
Installation direction lever (see the “Installation Manual”).  
(6) Confirm the installation angle. (This unit must be installed within +30 degrees to -15 degrees of the  
horizontal, or within five degrees of your car’s direction of travel.)  
(7) Check whether or not the reverse gear signal input lead (purple) is connected properly. (The Naviga-  
tion System works properly without the lead connected, but positioning accuracy will be adversely  
affected.)  
The map continually reorients itself.  
Possible causes:  
The display is set to “Heading Up”.  
Solutions:  
Check the “Map Orientation” settings (see “Map Orientation” on page 102) and change the setting to  
“North Up”.  
Tracking marks are not displayed.  
Possible causes:  
The “Tracking Display” is turned off.  
Solutions:  
Check the “Tracking Display” settings (see “Tracking Display” on page 102) and make sure “On  
(Always)” or “On (This journey)” is selected.

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 useful information about how a route is set.  
Caution  
When a route is calculated, the route and voice guidance for the route is auto-  
matically set. Also, for day or time traffic regulations, only information about  
traffic regulations at the time when the route was calculated is shown. 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 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 Navigation System  
whilst 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 want to pass a cer-  
tain 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. Additionally, if 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 freeway are announced. However, if you pass junc-  
tions, turns, and other guide points in rapid succession, some may not be announced.  
Incorrect guidance may be given at freeway junctions if the exit lane is particularly long.  
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.  
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 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.  
In the following cases, the route that passes through an Area to Avoid may be set:  
- when your car is in the Area to Avoid  
- when your destination or way points are in the Area to Avoid  
- when it is not possible to avoid doing so  
If a suitable route cannot be set in compliance with the specified “Detour” parameter or your prefer-  
ence to avoid freeways, toll roads, or a ferry route, the setting or parameter may be ignored.  
When there is a traffic jam ahead, if driving through the traffic jam is better than taking the detour, a  
detour route may not be set.  
If your destination is a freeway junction, voice guidance may not announce the junction.  
There may be instances when the starting point and the destination point are not on the highlighted  
route.  
The number of roundabout exits displayed on the screen may differ from the actual number of roads.  
“Auto Reroute” function does not work in the following cases:  
- when your car is not on a street  
- when your car is on a ferry  
- when driving on a road inside a facility  
- when driving on a roundabout

Route highlighting  
Once set, the route is highlighted in bright green on the map.  
The immediate vicinity of your starting point and destination may not be highlighted, and neither will  
areas with particularly complex road layouts. Consequently, the route may appear to be cut off on the  
display, but voice guidance will continue.  
The route may not be highlighted as far as the checkered flag showing your destination, depending on  
the place set as your destination.  
Intersection enlargement  
When “Close-up of Intersection” is on, the map scale increases to show more detail as you approach  
an intersection.  
If the intersection is approached in a gentle curve, the map displayed may differ from the actual road  
layout.  
Tracking  
Your Navigation System marks your course on the map in certain increments. This is called tracking.  
It is handy when you want to check a route travelled without guidance or if returning along a complex  
route.  
A maximum of about 125 miles (200 km) is marked and, as you travel beyond this limit, tracking  
marks are erased in order from the most distant. Tracking can also be set for automatic erasing when-  
ever the Navigation System is switched off (see “Tracking Display” on page 102).  
About traffic information  
Because the information is updated only periodically, it may take time to collect all the information.  
Traffic information is not taken into account in calculating estimated time of arrival time or travel time  
for your destination.  
This product may not be able to receive traffic information in some areas.  
Pioneer does not bear responsibility for the accuracy of the information transmitted.  
Pioneer does not bear responsibility for changes to information services provided by broadcast-  
ing stations or by related companies, such as cancellation of the services or changing to pay-  
services. Also, we do not accept return of the product for this reason.

Map Database :  
The entire United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) and portions of Canada are contained in one  
disc. The United States map database includes the interstate freeways, state highways, country roads,  
major and general streets. The Canadian map database includes some of the highways, country roads,  
major and general streets. The Canadian map may show a higher level of detail in large populated areas  
than in less populated areas.  
Detailed Areas :  
The detailed areas are primarily located around metropolitan centers. All of the roads and the road net-  
work attributes are contained in the map database for these detailed areas. Road network attributes  
include information such as street names, street address, turn restrictions, etc. A detailed area will  
include all major highways, service roads, and residential roads. The detailed areas include points of  
interest (POI). The map database may not include data for newly constructed areas or map database cor-  
rections that are completed after the production of the disc. The Navigation System will provide full  
route guidance in the detailed map areas.

Limited Guidance Areas :  
These areas exist in the United States map database only. Any area that is not included in the detailed  
area list is a limited guidance area. These areas include the road maps but may not contain complete road  
network attribute information. Road network attributes include information such as street names, street  
address, turn restrictions, etc. Complete road network attribute information is needed to provide full  
route guidance. Due to the incomplete road network attributes, route guidance is available only on some  
of the major roads in the limited guidance areas. The surrounding streets will be displayed on the map  
display but route guidance may not be given on these streets. The navigation system will inform you  
when you are travelling into a limited guidance area where route guidance will not be available. The  
street maps displayed on the navigation system can then be used to determine the remaining route to your  
destination.  
Non-detailed Areas :  
These areas exist in the Canadian map database only. Any area that is not included in the detailed area list  
is a non-detailed area. Some of the major roads are available in the non-detailed areas and may be  
selected through the intersection and the freeway entrance/exit route planning options. The city center  
category is available in the all point of interest planning option. Residential roads, service roads, points  
of interest (except city center) and street addresses are not included in the non-detailed map areas.
