2. PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
- For your safety, the driver should not watch any video sources and/or operate the controls while driving. Please note that watching and operating any video sources while driving are prohibited by law in some countries. Also, while driving, keep the volume to a level at which external sounds can be heard.
- When using the navigation system, follow the precautions listed below. After reading this manual, be sure to keep it in a handy place (such as the glove box of your car).
- This navigation system should not be used to replace your own judgment. No itinerary suggested by this navigation system should ever override any highway regulations, your own judgment, or a knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not follow the navigation system's suggested itinerary if it would cause you to perform a dangerous or illegal act, place you in a dangerous situation, or take you into an area you consider unsafe.
- The advice provided by the navigation system is to be regarded as a suggestion only. There may be times when the navigation system displays the vehicle's location incorrectly, fails to suggest the shortest route, or fails to direct you to your desired destination. In such instances, rely on your own driving judgment, taking into account the driving conditions at the time.
- Do not use the navigation system to locate emergency services. The database does not contain a complete listing of emergency services such as police stations, fire halls, hospitals and walk-in clinics. Please show discretion and ask for directions in such instances.
- As the driver, you alone are responsible for your driving safety.
- In order to avoid a traffic accident, do not operate the system while driving.
- In order to avoid a traffic accident, operate the system only when the vehicle is stopped at a safe place and the parking brake is on.
- In order to avoid a traffic accident or traffic offense, remember that actual road conditions and traffic regulations take precedence over the information contained on the navigation system.
- The software may contain inaccurate or incomplete information due to the passage of time, changing circumstances, and the sources of information used. Please respect current traffic conditions and regulations at all times while driving.
- Where actual road conditions and highway regulations differ from the information contained on the navigation system, abide by the highway regulations.
- Keep the amount of time spent viewing the screen while driving to a strict minimum.
- The navigation system does not provide, nor represent in any way information on: traffic and highway regulations; technical aspects of the vehicle including weight, height, width, load and speed limits; road conditions including grade, percentage of incline and surface conditions; obstacles such as the height and width of bridges and tunnels; and other current driving or road conditions. Always rely on your own judgment when driving a car, taking into account current driving conditions.
- Do not disassemble or modify this unit. It may cause an accident, fire, or electric shock.
- Do not use this unit when a trouble exists, such as no screen content appears or no sound is audible. It may cause an accident, fire, or electric shock. For that case, consult your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion service center.
- In case of a problem, such as any material has been entered in the unit, the unit gets wet, or smoke or strange smells come out of the unit, etc., stop using this unit immediately, and consult your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion service center.
Using it in that condition may cause an accident, fire, or electric shock.
- Use a fuse with the same specification only when replacing the fuse.
Using a fuse with a different specification may causes a fire.
-
For the installation of this unit or a change in the installation, ask your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion service center for safety. Professional skills and experiences are required to do so.
-
When the inside of the car is very cold and the player is used soon after switching on the heater, moisture may form on the disc (DVD/CD) or the optical parts of the player and proper playback may not be possible. If moisture forms on the disc (DVD/ CD), wipe it off with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on the optical parts of the player, do not use the player for about one hour. The condensation will disappear naturally allowing normal operation.
- Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause severe vibration may cause the sound to skip.
- This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even in the event that trouble arises, never open the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.

WMA is an audio compression method developed by Microsoft Corporation.
These audio compression methods have penetrated into PC users and become a standard format.

In addition, if you use upper case and lower case letters (capital and small letters) mixed for file extensions, normal play may not be possible.

- Do not open the case. There are no user- serviceable parts inside. If you drop anything into the unit during installation, consult your dealer or an authorized Clarion service center.
4. Cautions on Installation
- Prepare all articles necessary for installing the source unit before starting.
- This model features an operation panel that slides forward.
On some types of cars, the operation panel may make contact with the dashboard or gearshift lever, in which cause it cannot be installed. Before installing, check that the unit will not hamper operation of the gearshift lever or obstruct your view before selecting the installation location. (Figure 2)
Figure 2
- Install the unit within 30^ of the horizontal plane. (Figure 3)
Figure 3
-
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the case. Never use a rough cloth, thinner, benzine, or alcohol etc. For tough dirt, apply a little cold or warm water to a soft cloth and wipe off the dirt gently.
-
If you have to do any work on the car body, such as drilling holes, consult your car dealer beforehand.
- Use the enclosed screws for installation. Using other screws can cause damage. (Figure 4)

- Removing the Main Unit
When the main unit is to be removed, disassemble it in the reverse of the order in "INSTALLING THE MAIN UNIT".
6. Cautions on Wiring
- Be sure to turn the power off before wiring.
- Be particularly careful where you route the wires.
Keep them well away from the engine, and exhaust pipe, etc. Heat may damage the wires.
- If the fuse should blow, check to see if the wiring is correct.
If a fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of the same amperage rating as the original (15A FUSE).
- To replace the fuse, remove the old fuse on the back of the unit and insert the new one. (Figure 8)
NOTE:
There are various types of fuse holder. Do not let the battery side touch other metal parts.
CAUTION
After the connection, fix the cord by a clamp or insulation tape for protection.

The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with a connected GPS receiver. Clarion Mobile Map does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.
It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate Clarion Mobile Map before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure and stop if you need to change the route.
You must obey the traffic signs and follow the road geometry. If you deviate from the recommended route, Clarion Mobile Map changes the instructions accordingly.
Never place NX501E/NZ501E where it obstructs the driver's view, where it is in the deployment zone of an airbag or where it might cause injuries in an accident.
For more information, consult the End User Licence Agreement (page 82).

However, this calculation is rarely accurate. |
| Arrival Time17:22 | Shows the estimated arrival time at the final destination of the route based on information available for the remaining segments of the route.If NX501E/NZ501E is capable of receiving live traffic information, the calculation takes into account traffic delays affecting your route if they are received. However, this calculation is rarely accurate. |
2.2.2 Position markers
2.2.2.1 Vehimarker and Lock-on-Road
When your GPS position is available, Clarion Mobile Map marks your current position with the Vehimarker. By default, this marker is a red arrow, but you can change this icon in Settings.
The Vehimarker may not show your exact GPS position and heading. If roads are near, it is aligned to the nearest road to suppress GPS position errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of the road.
2.2.2.2 Selected map location (Cursor) and selected map object
You can mark a map location in the following ways:
- Tap the map when navigating,
- Tap the map when you are asked to confirm the destination at the end of a search, or
- Tap the map in Find on Map (page 45)
When a map location is selected, the Cursor appears at the selected point on the map. The
Cursor is displayed with a radiating red dot ( ) to make it visible at all zoom levels.
The location of the Cursor can be used as the destination of the route, a new alert point, you can search for Places around it, or you can save this location as one of your Favourite destinations.
You can also select some of the objects on the map. If you tap the map at the icon of a Place of Interest or an alert point, the object will be selected (you see a red circling border around the object), and you can get information about this object or use it as a route point.
2.2.3 Objects on the map
2.2.3.1 Streets and roads
Clarion Mobile Map shows the streets in a way that is similar to how the paper road maps show them. Their width and colours correspond to their importance: you can easily tell a motorway from a small street.
2.2.3.2 Turn preview and Next street
When navigating a route, the top section of the Map screen shows information about the next route event (manoeuvre) and the next street or the next city/town.
There is a field in the top left corner that displays the next manoeuvre. Both the type of the event (turn, roundabout, exiting motorway, etc.) and its distance from the current position are displayed.
A smaller icon shows the type of the second next manoeuvre if it is near the first one. Otherwise, only the next manoeuvre is displayed.
Most of these icons are very intuitive. The following table lists some of the frequently shown route events. The same symbols are used in both fields:
| Icon | Description |
| Turn left. |
| Turn right. |
| Turn back. |
| Bear right. |
| Turn sharp left. |
| Keep left. |
| Continue straight in the intersection. |
| Go left on the roundabout, 3rd exit (next manoeuvre). |
| Enter roundabout (second next manoeuvre). |
| Enter motorway. |
| Exit motorway. |
| Board ferry. |
| Leave ferry. |
| Approaching a waypoint. |
| Approaching the destination. |
2.2.3.3 Lane information and Signposts
When navigating on multilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the recommended route. If lane information is available in the map data, Clarion Mobile Map displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lanes you need to take.
Where additional information is available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are displayed at the top of the map. The colour and style of the signposts are similar to the real ones you can see above road or by the roadside. They show the available destinations and the number of the road the lane leads to.
All signposts look similar when cruising (when there is no recommended route). When navigating a route, only the signpost that points to the lane(s) to be taken is displayed in vivid colours; all others are darker.
If you want to hide the currently displayed signposts, tap any of them and the normal Map screen returns until new signpost information is received.
2.2.3.4 Junction view
If you are approaching a motorway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. The lanes you need to take are displayed with arrows. Signposts can also be present if information is available.
If you want to hide the currently displayed junction, tap the picture and the Map screen returns.
2.2.3.5 3D object types
Clarion Mobile Map supports the following 3D object types:
| Type | Description |
| 3D terrain | 3D terrain map data shows changes in terrain, elevations or depressions in the land when you view the map in 2D, and use it to plot the route map in 3D when you navigate. Hills and mountains are shown in the background of the 3D map, and illustrated by colour and shading on the 2D map. |
| Elevated roads | Complex intersections and vertically isolated roads (such as overpasses or bridges) are displayed in 3D. |
| 3D landmarks | Landmarks are 3D artistic or block representations of prominent or well-known objects. |
| 3D buildings | 3D block representation of full city building data containing actual building size and position on the map. |
2.2.3.6 Elements of the active route
Clarion Mobile Map shows the route in the following way:
| Symbol | Name | Description |
| Current GPS position and Start point | Your current position displayed on the map. If roads are near, it is aligned to the nearest road. Normally if GPS position is available, the route starts from the current position. If there is no valid GPS position, Clarion Mobile Map uses the last known position as the start point. |
| Waypoint (intermediate destination) | An intermediate destination of the route before reaching the final destination. |
| Destination (end point) | The final destination of the route. |
| Route colour | The route always stands out with its colour on the map, both in daytime and in night colour mode. |
| Streets and roads that are excluded from the navigation | You can choose whether you want to use or avoid certain road types (page 73). However, when Clarion Mobile Map cannot avoid such roads, the route will include them and it will show them in a colour that is different from the route colour. |
| Streets and roads that are affected by traffic events | Road segments may be affected by traffic events received. These streets and roads are displayed in an alternate colour, and small symbols displayed along the route show the type of the traffic event. |
2.2.3.7 Traffic events
Road segments affected by traffic events are displayed with an alternate colour on the map, and small symbols above the road show the nature of the event:
Tap to open the Traffic Summary screen.

bypassed, the icon will open the list of significant traffic events to let you quickly check them.
2.2.4 Manipulating the map

3 Navigating
You can set up your route in different ways:
- If you need a route for immediate navigation, you can select the destination and start navigating to it right away (normal navigation).
- You can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position or even without GPS reception (to achieve this, you need to turn off the GPS receiver and set a new starting point in My Route / Edit Route by tapping the flag icon at the current position).
You can plan routes with multiple destinations. Select the first destination. Then select a second destination and add it to your route to create a multi-point route. You can add as many destinations to your route as you like.
3.1 Selecting the destination of a route
Clarion Mobile Map offers you several ways of choosing your destination:
- Enter a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a house number or the names of two intersecting streets (page 24).
- Enter an address with postal code (page 31). This way you do not need to select the name of the city/town and the search for street names might be faster as well.
Use a built-in Place of Interest as your destination (page 34).
- Select a location on the map with the Find on Map feature (page 45).
Use a previously saved Favourite destination (page 46).
- Select a location from the History of previously used destinations (page 48).

3.1.1.6 Tips on entering addresses quickly
to select it.
the guess is correct, tap
to list the items that
After entering a couple of letters, tap contain the specified letters.
You can speed up finding an intersection:
-
Search first for the street with a less common or less usual name; fewer letters are enough to find it.
If one of the streets is shorter, search for that one first. You can then find the second one faster.
-
You can search for both the type and the name of a road. If the same word appears in several names, for example in the name of streets, roads and avenues, you can obtain the result faster if you enter the first letter of the street type: For example, enter 'PI A' to obtain Pine Avenue and skip all Pine Streets and Pickwick Roads.
-
You can also search in postal codes. As postal codes consist of only a few characters, this is usually faster than entering the name of the city/town.
3.1.2 Selecting the destination from the Places of Interest

4 Reference Guide
On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu screens of Clarion Mobile Map.
4.1 Concepts
4.1.1 Smart Zoom
Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:
While following a route: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view angle to let you easily recognise your manoeuvre at the next junction. If the next turn is at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to be flat so you can see the road in front of you.
- While driving without an active route: Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly and zoom out when you drive at high speed.
4.1.2 Daytime and night colour themes
Clarion Mobile Map uses different colour themes during the day and during the night for both the map and the menu screens.
Daytime colours are similar to paper road maps, and the menus are bright.
- The night colour themes use dark colours for large objects to keep the average brightness of the screen low.
Clarion Mobile Map offers different daytime and night colour profiles. It can also switch automatically between the daytime and the night schemes based on the current time and GPS position a few minutes before sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset, before it becomes dark.
4.1.3 Route calculation and recalculation
Clarion Mobile Map calculates the route based on your preferences:
Fast
- Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed limit on all roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars.
Short
Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes. It can be practical for slow vehicles.
Green
Green: Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel consumption data given in Green Routing settings (page 75). Travel cost and
CO_2 emission calculations are estimations only. They cannot take elevations, curves and traffic conditions into account.
Easy
Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult manoeuvres. With this option, you can make Clarion Mobile Map to take, for example, the motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.
Vehicle types:
Car
- Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route.
Roads are used only if access for cars is allowed.
- Private roads and resident-only roads are used only if they are inevitable to reach the destination.
- Walkways are excluded from routes.
Emergency
All manoeuvres are available in intersections.
- Directional constraints are taken into account the way that opposite direction is allowed with a low speed.
- A private road is used only if the destination is there.
- Walkways are excluded from routes.
Bus
- Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route.
Roads are used only if access for buses is allowed.
- Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes.
Taxi
- Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route.
Roads are used only if access for taxis is allowed.
- Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes.
Road types used or avoided in route calculation:
Real-time Traffic events are also taken into account and sometimes greatly modify the route. Clarion Mobile Map automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary or if a newly received Traffic event concerns a part of the recommended route.
For further information about Route settings, see page 73.
4.1.4 Green routing
Route calculation is not only about finding the quickest or shortest route. For some of the vehicle types, you can also check the fuel consumption and CO_2 emission when planning a route, and you can create cost effective routes with less effect on the environment.
In Settings, select to enter the necessary parameters of your vehicle and the average fuel price. You can also select whether you want to see the difference between your route and the green route even if the selected routing method is not Green.
Green
After the above parameters are set, select as route planning method to get a fast but also fuel efficient route. Note that travel cost and CO2 emission calculations are estimations only. They cannot take elevations, turns, curves and traffic conditions into account. Also, this routing is not meant to give you the "greenest" route of all. It is still important to travel quickly so the result is a fast route with low fuel consumption and CO2 emission.
With a vehicle type where green routing is selectable, whichever route planning method is selected, the Green details are also shown when you confirm the route:
If the selected route planning method is not Green, and you have allowed the application to show the green alternative, the price, fuel consumption and CO_2 emission differences between your selected route and the Green route are also shown on this screen:
Tap the field with these details to switch the route to Green immediately.
4.1.5 Road safety cameras and other proximity alert points
There is a special proximity warning for road safety cameras (like speed or red light cameras) and other proximity alert points (like schools or railroad crossings). These alert points are preloaded in Clarion Mobile Map. You can download more from clarion.navixtras.com or you can upload points in a specific text file if needed.
You can also add your own alert points or edit the preloaded or uploaded points. See page 61 for details.
The application can warn you when you approach road safety cameras like speed cameras or dangerous areas like school zones or railroad crossings. You can set up the different alert types individually in Sound and Warning settings (page 72).
The following alert types are available:
- Audio warning: beeps or the spoken type of the alert can be played while you are approaching one of these points, or extra alert sounds if you exceed the given speed limit while approaching.
- Visual warning: the type of the alert point, its distance and the related speed limit appear on the Map screen while you are approaching one of these cameras. The distance from the camera is also displayed.
For some of the alert points, the enforced or expected speed limit is available. For these points, the audio alert can be different if you are below or above the given speed limit.
- Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you exceed the given speed limit.
- When approaching: The audio alert is always played. In order to draw your attention, the alert can be different if you exceed the speed limit.
Note!
The warning for road safety cameras is disabled when the GPS position is not yet available or if you are in certain countries where road safety camera warning is prohibited.
4.1.6 Speed limit warning
Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. Clarion Mobile Map is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not be available for your region (ask your local dealer), or may not be fully correct for all roads in the map. Speed warning can be fine-tuned in Sound and Warning settings (page 72).
You can set the relative speed above which the application initiates the warning.
The following alert types are available:
Audio warning: you receive a verbal warning when you exceed the speed limit with the given percentage.
- Visual warning: the current speed limit is shown on the map when you exceed it (for
example:
50
The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Real-time traffic information can help you avoid current traffic events like temporary road closures or a traffic jam caused by an accident. The function is subject to data availability.
You can display the live traffic information on the map if you browse the map and select this option from the More menu. A 2D map is displayed with road segments coloured by the
severity of traffic events. Tap the event type icon at the road segment and then tap the button to get information about the traffic event.
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) can provide you with the real-time status of the traffic. Route calculation can avoid road blocks or unexpected traffic jams caused by an accident.
TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information.
Using traffic information is enabled by default in Clarion Mobile Map.
Note!
TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your country or region. Ask your local dealer for coverage details.
NX501E/NZ501E contains the TMC receiver that is needed to receive Traffic events.
If public Traffic data is broadcast at your location, Clarion Mobile Map automatically takes into account the traffic events received. You do not need to set anything in the program. The receiver will automatically search the FM radio stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will immediately be used in route planning. When Clarion Mobile Map receives traffic information that may affect your route, the program will warn you that it is recalculating the route, and navigation will continue with a new route that is optimal considering the most up-to-date traffic conditions.
To fine-tune this recalculation, you can set the minimum delay that can trigger a route recalculation, or you can instruct Clarion Mobile Map to have you confirm the new recommended route before it takes effect. You can do these in Traffic settings (page 73).
A special icon (A) is displayed on the Map screen to show you whether traffic events are received. The icon shows the status of the traffic receiver when there are no traffic events on your route, otherwise it shows the type of the next traffic event on your route.
Road segments affected by traffic events are displayed with an alternate colour on the map, and small symbols above the road show the nature of the event:
Tap to open the Traffic Summary screen:
Tap
to open the list of traffic events:
Now tap any of the list items to see its details, and to display the affected road segment in its full length on the map:

| Speed Warning Settings | Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. Clarion Mobile Map is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not be available for your region (ask your local dealer), or may not be fully correct for all roads in the map. This setting lets you decide whether you wish to receive visible and/or audible warnings.
Adjust the slider to set the relative speed above which the application initiates the warning.
The following alert types are available:
· Audio warning: you receive a verbal warning when you exceed the speed limit with the given percentage.
· Visual warning: the current speed limit is shown on the map when you exceed it.
If you prefer to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time (normally it is shown only if your speed exceeds it), you can set it here. |
| Speed Camera Warning | This feature allows you to receive a warning when approaching a Road Safety Camera. You must ensure on your own liability that using this feature is legal in the country where you intend to use it.
This button is not displayed when GPS position is not available or if you are in certain countries where road safety camera warning is prohibited. Even if the button is available, you are responsible for checking whether it is legal to use this feature at your location. |
| Proximity Alerts | The application can warn you when you approach road safety cameras like speed cameras or dangerous areas like school zones or railroad crossings. Tap this button and set the different alert types individually. The following alert types are available: Audio warning: beeps or the name of the alert type can be played while you are approaching the camera, or extra alert sounds if you exceed the speed limit while approaching one of these cameras. Visual warning: the type of the alert point, its distance and the related speed limit appear on the Map screen while you are approaching one of these cameras. The distance from the camera is also displayed. For some of the alert points, the enforced or expected speed limit is available. For these points, the audio alert can be different if you are below or above the given speed limit. Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you exceed the given speed limit. When approaching: The audio alert is always played. In order to draw your attention, the alert can be different if you exceed the speed limit. Road safety cameras are not displayed in the list when GPS position is not available or if you are in certain countries where road safety camera warning is prohibited. |

4.3.3 Traffic settings
The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Whenever suitable data exists, traffic information can be taken into account in the route calculation.
| Button | Description |
| Traffic Receiver | Use this switch to enable or disable the TMC receiver that can receive real-time traffic information. The rest of the buttons below are all related to the TMC function and are available only if the receiver is enabled. |
| Detour | This setting determines how Clarion Mobile Map uses the received real-time traffic information in route calculation. When calculating a new route, or when recalibration becomes necessary based on the received Traffic events, Clarion Mobile Map avoids traffic events if it makes sense.
You can also set the minimum delay that triggers route recalibration, and you can instruct the application if you want to confirm every recalibration. |
| Event Types | Tap this button to open the list of traffic event types, and select which events to take into account in route calculation. |
| Provider List | Tap this button for the list of available TMC service providers. |
4.3.4 Route settings
These settings determine how routes will be calculated.
| Button | Description |
| Vehicle | You can set the type of vehicle you will use to navigate the route. Based upon this setting, some of the road types can be excluded from the route, or some of the restrictions may not be taken into account in route calculation. |
| Route Planning Method | The route calculation can be optimised for different situations and vehicle types by changing the planning method. See below for details. |
To let the route fit your needs, you can also set which road types are to be considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible.
Excluding a road type is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some of the excluded road types, they will be used but only as much as necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on the My Route screen, and the part of the route not matching your preference will be displayed in a different colour on the map.
In the list of road types you can see in how many segments and what total length of the road type is used in the current route.
| Button | Description |
| Motorways | You might need to avoid motorways when you are driving a slow car or you are towing another vehicle. |
| Period Charge | Charge roads are pay roads where you can purchase a pass or vignette to use the road for a longer period of time. They can be enabled or disabled separately from toll roads. |
| Per-use Toll | Clarion Mobile Map includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a per-use charge) in the routes by default. If you disable toll roads, Clarion Mobile Map plans the best toll-free route. |
| Ferries | Clarion Mobile Map includes ferries in a planned route by default. However, a map does not necessarily contain information about the accessibility of temporary ferries. You might also need to pay a fare on ferries. |
| Unpaved Roads | Clarion Mobile Map excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved roads can be in a bad condition and usually you cannot reach the speed limit on them. |
Vehicle types:
- Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route.
Roads are used only if access for cars is allowed.
- Private roads and resident-only roads are used only they are inevitable to reach the destination.
- Walkways are excluded from routes.
All manoeuvres are available in intersections.
- Directional constraints are taken into account the way that opposite direction is allowed with a low speed.
- A private road is used only if the destination is there.
- Walkways are excluded from routes.
- Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route.
Roads are used only if access for buses is allowed.
- Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes.
- Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route.
Roads are used only if access for taxis is allowed.
- Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes.
Route Planning Method types:
| Button | Description |
| Fast | Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed limit on all roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars. |
| Short | Gives a short route to minimise the distance to travel. It can be practical for slow vehicles. Searching for a short route regardless of the speed, this route type is rarely practical for normal vehicles. |
| Green | Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel consumption data given in Green Routing settings (page 75). Travel cost and CO2 emission calculations are estimations only. They cannot take elevations, curves and traffic conditions into account. |
| Easy | Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult manoeuvres. With this option, you can make Clarion Mobile Map to take, for example, the motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets. |
4.3.5 Green routing settings
These settings determine how Green routes will be calculated. They are also used to display the cost and CO_2 emission of routes.
| Button | Description |
| Fuel Consumption Urban | Enter the average consumption of your vehicle when used in built-up areas. If necessary, tap More and select Fuel Economy to change the measurement unit. |
| Fuel Consumption Rural | Enter the average consumption of your vehicle when used on highways. If necessary, tap More and select Fuel Economy to change the measurement unit. |
| Type of Engine | Select the engine and fuel type of your vehicle. This helps in estimating the CO2 emission. |
| Price of Fuel | Enter the average fuel price for travel cost calculation. If necessary, tap More and select Currency to change the currency. |
| Calculate Green Alternative | If the selected routing method is not Green, you can have your route compared to the best green alternative on the screen when confirming the route. If this alternative is much better than the selected method, you can quickly switch to Green mode. |
4.3.6 Map settings
You can fine-tune the appearance of the Map screen. Adjust the map view to your needs, choose suitable colour themes from the list for both daytime and night use, change the red arrow to a 3D car model, show or hide 3D buildings, turn track logging on or off, and manage you Place visibility sets (which Places to show on the map).

| Track Logs ON | Turn on or off track log saving, that is, saving the sequence of the locations your journeys go through. |
| Place Markers | Select which Places to show on the map while navigating. Too many Places make the map crowded so it is a good idea too keep as few of them on the map as possible. For this, you have the possibility to save different Place visibility sets. You have the following possibilities:
• Tap the checkbox to show or hide the Place category.
• Tap the name of the Place category to open the list of its subcategories.
• Tap to save the current Place visibility set or to load a previously saved one. Here you can also revert to the default visibility settings. |
4.3.7 Visual guidance settings
Settings related to guidance on the map screen can be adjusted here.
| Data Fields | The data fields in the corner of the Map screen can be customised. Tap this button and select the values you want to see. The values can be different when you navigate a route from when you are just cruising without a given destination. You can select general trip data like your current speed or the altitude, or route data related to your final destination or the next waypoint on your route. |
| Signpost | Whenever adequate information is available, lane information similar to the real ones on road signs above the road is displayed at the top of the map. You can turn this feature on or off. |
| Junction View | If you are approaching a motorway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. You can turn this feature on or let the map be displayed for the whole route. |
| Route Progress Bar | Turn on the route progress bar to see your route as a straight line on the left side of the map. The red arrow represents your current position and moves up as you travel. Waypoints and Traffic events are also displayed on the line. |

Trip logs contain useful information about your trips. Trip logs can be saved manually when you reach your destination or you can turn on the automatic saving here. You can access these logs in the Trip monitor. Trip monitor is available from the More menu.
| Enable auto-saving | Trip monitor can record statistical data of your trips. If you need these logs later, you can let the application save them automatically for you. |
| Trip database size | This is not a button. This line shows the current size of the trip database, the sum of all trip and track logs saved. |
| Save track log | Track logs, the sequence of the positions given by the GPS receiver, can be saved together with trip logs. They can later be displayed on the map. You can let the application save the track log whenever it saves a trip. |
5 Glossary
2D/3D GPS reception
The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and needs at least four signals to give a three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are moving and because objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four signals. If three satellites are available, the receiver can calculate the horizontal GPS position but the accuracy is lower and the GPS device does not give you elevation data: only 2D reception is possible.
Active route
The currently navigated route. Whenever the destination is set, the route is active until you delete it, reach your destination or you quit Clarion Mobile Map. See also: Route.
City Centre
The city/town centre is not the geometric centre of the city/town but an arbitrary point the map creators have chosen. In towns and villages, it is usually the most important intersection; in larger cities, it is one of the important intersections.
Colour theme
Clarion Mobile Map comes with different colour themes for daytime or night use of the map and menu screens. Themes are custom graphic settings and they can have different colours for streets, blocks or surface waters in 2D and 3D modes, and they display shades or shadows in different ways in 3D mode.
One daytime scheme and one night scheme is always selected for the map and for the menus. Clarion Mobile Map uses them when it switches from day to night and back.
GPS accuracy
Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position and the one given by the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting objects near the GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can calculate your position.
Map
Clarion Mobile Map works with digital maps which are not simply the computerised versions of traditional paper maps. Similarly to the paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps show you streets, roads, and elevation is also shown by colours.
In 3D mode, you can see the altitude differences, for example valleys and mountains, elevated roads, and in selected cities 3D landmarks and 3D buildings are also displayed.
You can use digital maps interactively: you can zoom in and out (increase or decrease the scale), you can tilt them up and down, and rotate them left and right. In GPS-supported navigation, digital maps facilitate route planning.
Road Safety Camera
Special alert points for speed, red light or bus lane cameras. Different data sources are available. You can configure Clarion Mobile Map to warn you when you approach one of these cameras.
Detecting the location of Road Safety Cameras is prohibited in certain countries. It is the sole responsibility of the driver to check whether this feature can be used during the trip.
The software is capable of showing and warning for more than just cameras. Various other types of proximity alert points like school zones and railway crossings are also available.
Route
A sequence of route events, i.e. manoeuvres (for example, turns and roundabouts) to reach the destination. The route contains one start point and one or more destinations. The start point is the current (or last known) position by default. If you need to see a future route, the start point can be replaced with any other given point.
Track-up map orientation
In Track-up mode the map is rotated so its top always points in the current driving direction. This is the default orientation in 3D map view mode.
Vehimarker
The current position is shown with a red arrow on the map by default. The direction of the red arrow shows the current heading. This position marker can be replaced with different vehicle symbols. You can even specify different Vehimarkers for different route types (depending on which vehicle type is selected for route calculation).
