Position Marker
■ Vehicle Marker and Lock-on-Road If GPS positioning is available, the current position is shown using the vehicle marker. • When any vehicle is selected, the vehicle marker may not display an accurate GPS position and direction of travel. If there is a road nearby, the GPS positioning error is corrected based on the shortest distance to the road to, and the direction of the icon is adjusted to match the direction of the road.

■ Lane information & signs When using route guidance on roads with two or more lanes, it is important that you drive in the correct lane. When lane information is available on the Map, the lane and direction are indicated below the map with small arrows. The lane that you should drive in is highlighted.
When detailed information is available, the arrows are removed and signs are displayed. Signs are displayed at the top of the map. The color and design of the signs is the same as signs actually found at the side of the road or overhead signs. These signs show the district and the route number for the lane direction.

■ Hints for quick address entry • When entering a city/town name or a street name:
- Only characters that can be displayed in the search results are shown on the
keyboard. Other characters are grayed out.
- While entering text, the most likely search result is always displayed in the
text entry field. If the search result is correct, touch
to select it.
- If you touch
Results
(Results) after entering two characters, items that
contain those two characters are displayed in the list.
• You can find intersections easily by using the following method.
- First, when searching for an uncommon road name, you only need to enter
the first few letters to acquire the name.
- When one street name is shorter than the other, the shorter one is searched
for first. This shortens the search time for the road with the longer name. • You can search by road category as well as road name. When the
same word is included in names such as the street, road, and main street, by entering the first character for the type of road, you can quickly bring up the search results. For example, if you are searching for “Pine Avenue” and you enter “Pi A”, roads such as “Pine Street” or “Pickwick Road” are not displayed.
• You can also search by using the ZIP Code. If the ZIP Code only
contains a few characters, you can search more quickly than when entering the city/town name.
Selecting the destination from your favorite spots (POI: Point Of Interest)
You can select your destination from the favorite spots that have already been saved in the software. You can use the same screen to find a spot using the following various methods. • Using the quick search function, you can quickly search for spots
around the name.
• Using the preset search function, you can search for the most
popular spots with a few quick touches.
• Search using spot categories. • Search using spot names. You can also search for special services from the “Where Am I?” screen.
