PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.

This product is intended to safely provide turn by turn instruction to get you to a desired destination. Please read the following precautions to ensure that you use your navigation system correctly.

This product is not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any route suggestions made by the navigation system may never supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment and/or knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not follow route suggestions if the navigation system instructs you to perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver, places you in an unsafe situation, or routes you into an area which you consider unsafe.
Glance at the monitor screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, pull over in a safe and legal manner and location.
Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring a prolonged view of the monitor and/or remote control while you are driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting to access the system.
Do not use the navigation system to route you to emergency services. Not all locations of emergency service providers such as police and fire stations, hospitals, and clinics are contained in the database. Please use your own judgment and your ability to ask for directions in these situations.
The map database contained within the media (CD ROM) in which it is stored is the most recent map data available at the time of production. Because of changes in streets and neighbourhoods, there may be situations where the navigation system may not be able to route you to your desired destination. In these cases, use your own personal judgment.
The map database is designed to provide you with route suggestions, it does not take account the relative safety of a suggested route, or of factors which may affect the time required to reach your destination. The database does not reflect road closures or construction, road characteristics (i.e. type of road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), traffic congestion, weather conditions, or any other factors which may affect the safety or timing of your driving experience. Use your personal judgment if the navigation system is unable to provide you with an alternate route.

There may be situations where the navigation system may display the vehicle's location erroneously. Use your own driving judgment in this situation, taking into account current driving conditions. Please be aware that in this situation, the navigation system should correct the vehicle's position automatically; however, there may be times where you may have to correct the position yourself. If this is the case, pull over in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting operation.
Make certain that the volume level of the monitor is set to a level which still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles. Driving while unable to hear outside sounds could cause an accident.
* Please make certain that any other person who intends on using the navigation system reads these precautions and the following instructions carefully.
If there is anything in the manual which you do not understand, or are uncertain about the operation of the navigation system, please contact an authorized Alpine representative before using the navigation system.

Navigation terminology

Navigation

The navigation system displays and tracks the vehicle's position and movement on a moving map display. When a destination is input, the navigation system quickly calculates a route and guides you along the route with pictorial displays and voice prompts.

Present vehicle position

The navigation system integrates the GPS signals received and the map information stored on the CD ROM to display the position and direction of the vehicle. The system also includes a gyroscope and a speed sensor that enable it to display the present position even in locations where the GPS signal may be blocked.

Present vehicle position

Map matching

Since GPS navigation has an error of 100 – 655 feet (30 m – 200 m), the position of your vehicle may be displayed off the road. Map matching automatically corrects this error so that the position of your vehicle is displayed on the road.

Uncorrected

Corrected

Destination G

The point on the map that is your destination is specified and displayed with the destination icon.

Route

When a destination is input, the navigation system automatically calculates a route and displays it in blue on the map.

Destination mark

Route

Waypoints 1

You specify points you wish to pass by along the way to your destination and they are indicated with the waypoint icons in the display.

waypoint icon

Memory points 2

Locations you go to frequently can be stored into memory and marked on the map. The system can store up to 100 points, including your home.

Memory point mark

Motorway-preference selection

When searching for routes with the navigation system, you can switch between searching for routes that give priority to motorways and those that give priority to ordinary roads. When you specify motorway preference, the navigation system automatically searches for a route that gives priority to motorways and guides you along that route.

Tracking

The tracks indicate the roads you have driven over with blue dots. There is a limit on the amount of memory available for storing your tracks (up to 31 miles/50 km). When you exceed this memory capacity, the tracks are erased starting from the earliest portion.

• Automatic Route Calculation

Just select the destination and your navigation system does the rest, automatically searching for the route you need. When searching for the route, you can select the route that gives priority to motorways or ordinary roads.

• Real Time Voice Guide

A voice guide informs you of the distance and direction until your course change, giving advice timed to match road conditions.

The VOICE button lets you call up the voice guide when needed by just pushing a button.

- Alternate Route Setting

Two types of route settings:

1. Quick setting of alternate routes when traffic flow is obstructed.
2. Distance for alternate roundabout route can be selected by driver (within 0.6 to 3 miles or 1 to 5 km).

- Automatic or Manual Border Point Setting

When you travel crossing the map border, you can select the border point on the road automatically or manually as a waypoint or a destination so as to make the route searching easier across the border.

• Facilities/Services Information Display

When you travel on motorways, the navigation system automatically displays facilities/services available in the vicinity of the vehicle such as fuel, food, parking, etc.

- Direct Input of Name of Place of Interest

Input only the name of a place of interest (without inputting the city name) to search for the route to the place of interest.

- Direct Input of Street Name

Just input the street name (no need to input the city name) to search for the route to the street.

- Sequence of Waypoints Can Be Changed (Today's Plan)

Your navigation system can automatically sort the sequence of the waypoints in order of distance starting with the nearest waypoint. Or you can manually change the sequence of the waypoints in any order as you like.

- Intersection Zoom

As you near intersections and cross points, the map display automatically zooms in to show a more detailed view that you will need. This means there is no need to press a Zoom button.

- Next Turn Guide

As you approach the place where you actually have to turn about 1000 feet (300 metres) prior to the crossroad or junction, the system informs you of which direction you have to turn with voice and picture guide.

• Built-in Gyroscope and Speed Sensors

The gyroscope for sensing direction and the speed pulse sensor for detecting distance provide data which allows vehicle position and direction to be displayed even in locations where the GPS signal cannot be received such as between buildings or in tunnels.

• Motorway Information Display

When you travel on motorways, the guidance display (with an arrow) automatically shows the distances to the next fuel station/restaurant/parking/junction (except exit).
