What Is a Mobile Navigation System?
The word "navigation" refers to the act of finding a route to a particular location. Successful
navigation depends on a number of factors, but most important are knowledge of your
destination, knowledge of the territory between you and your destination, and knowledge of
your present location. On the basis of information you supply, such as an address or the name
of a town, this system helps you locate your destination precisely. It then assists in the other
two areas; sophisticated maps stored on CD-ROM provide detailed data about the road system
you will use to get there, while a combination of satellite technology and built-in sensors enable
your vehicle’s location to be tracked at all times and compared with the maps. Using this data,
detailed directions for reaching your chosen destination are given as you drive. This
combination of technology is what we call a Mobile Navigation System.
How does it work?
This Pioneer Mobile Navigation System relies on detailed map information stored on a CDROM. Before you begin a journey, the system helps you provide information about your
destination. A suggested route is then automatically calculated and then displayed. At the same
time, using a state-of-the-art global positioning system (GPS), the built-in gyrosensor, and the
speed pulse data, the system calculates exactly where your vehicle is. Your current position is
then displayed in the centre of the map. As soon as you begin to drive, the system gives you all
the directions you need to keep to the route and reach your destination; this guidance is clearly
shown on the display, but may also be given by voice. As you drive, all your vehicle’s
movements are traced, so not only does your navigation system know where you are; it can also
tell if you are keeping to the route or if you have strayed off it for some reason.
• For more information about GPS, see "Positioning Technology" on page 129.

*HWWLQJ6WDUWHG
Your new Pioneer Mobile Navigation System relies on a combination of hardware and
software to provide you with accurate positional information and guidance. Data from global
positioning satellites and a built-in gyrosensor is processed by the software and compared with
maps stored on CD-ROM to accurately show your position on the display.
Before you can use the system, you must install the programme software (provided on a CDROM programme disc), insert the proper map disc (a separate CD-ROM), and complete a
number of settings and calibrations. This section describes the components of the system and
takes you step-by-step through this setup and calibration process. We suggest you spend a little
time reading and understanding the text that follows as an introduction to handling both the
hardware and software components of your new system.
Hardware Components
There are three main parts to the hardware: the main unit, the display, and a remote control unit
called a Navigation commander. The main unit and display should be properly installed in your
vehicle before you attempt to follow the instructions in this manual.
The Navigation commander
Once your Mobile Navigation System has been installed and set up for use, most operations are
carried out using the Navigation commander. In order to work properly, the commander must
be properly positioned with respect to the display. If you have difficulty issuing commands to
the equipment, make sure there is a clear line of sight from the commander to the display.
The commander has a joystick and a number of buttons. Their functions are explained below.
*HWWLQJ6WDUWHG
• ' (ON/OFF)button
This is the power switch for your Mobile Navigation System.
• Joystick/ - button
The joystick has eight directions of movement. Use it to make choices on the display and to
scroll the map. The joystick also acts as the -button; simply press it to select a location on the
map or choose an option displayed on the screen.
• N (NAVI) button
The N(NAVI) button is used to view the map or return to guidance mode. Its use is explained
in more detail in the relevant sections of this manual.
Press this button to repeat the last guidance message.
• K (MENU) button
The K (MENU) button is used to display a menu of options on the screen. The menu displayed
is contextual; that is, it depends on what mode the system is in. Its use is described in more
detail in the relevant sections of this manual.
• ( (RETURN) button
While using a menu, this button will cancel the present operation and take you back to the
previously displayed menu or list.
• ) button
This button is used to enlarge the scale of the displayed map, and also to cycle through multiple
items of information on the display.
• * button
This button is used to reduce the scale of the displayed map, and also to cycle backwards
through multiple items of information on the display.
• H (TALK) button
This button is used to initiate voice recognition, allowing you to give commands to the system
by voice.
• + (NEXT OPTION) button
This button is used to cycle through possible matches when a voice command is given.
• When you press a button on the Navigation commander, you will hear a confirmation "beep" from
the system speaker. You can be sure that your command has been accepted when you hear this sound.
Navigation commander batteries
The Navigation commander requires two batteries (supplied). Take note of the following
precautions when inserting or changing the batteries.
Supplied alkaline batteries

Preparing the System for Use
A certain amount of preparation is necessary before you can use your new Navigation System.
If you are using the system for the first time, read and carry out the instructions in this section.
First, the appropriate software must be installed from the programme disc. Once the software
has been successfully installed, you must insert the map disc for your area. You may then want
to register the location of your home and perhaps set a password to limit use of the system.
Finally, it is necessary to calibrate the system’s built-in gyrosensor. Calibration requires that
you are on a level stretch of open road without tall buildings or large stands of trees nearby, and
you will need to be able to drive straight forward for about 100 yards (100 m). Please choose a
quiet location with no obstacles for this purpose.

• If you choose to register a password, you will have to enter your password every time the Navigation
System is turned on. Enter the password as you did above or say your password.
Calibrating the built-in gyrosensor
Your Mobile Navigation System contains a gyrosensor as part of the positioning system.
Before it will operate correctly, however, the gyrosensor must be calibrated. To prepare for
this, stop your vehicle on an open stretch of road free of tall buildings and clumps of trees. You
will need to proceed forward for about 100 m (100 yards) to complete the calibration, so make
sure there are not likely to be any obstacles in your path.
CAUTION
• You will not normally need to recalibrate the gyrosensor again. However, if you
reinstall the unit, install it in a different vehicle, or change tyres, you will have to
repeat this process. (See "Location Status" on page 108.)
• If you are just changing tyres temporarily, such as from summer tyres to winter
tyres, you do not have to go through this process. For these types of changes, just
switch the calibration memory. (See "Selecting a calibration memory" on page 111
for details.)

proceed as follows.
•Wait for C (red) or M to appear.
•If C (red) or Mfails to appear after five minutes, then it is likely that the GPS is unable to pick up
signals. Move to more open surroundings and stop your vehicle.
• The most probable reason for C(red) or Mfailing to appear is that your vehicle is surrounded by thick

Safety-related Features
Handbrake interlock
Certain functions offered by this Mobile Navigation System could be dangerous if used while
driving. To prevent them being used while in motion, there is an interlock with your vehicle’s
handbrake. If you attempt to use these functions whilst driving, the message "You cannot use
this function while driving" will be displayed. Find a safe place to stop and apply the
handbrake.
Day and night map backgrounds
To prevent the normal display from appearing too bright and distracting you when driving after
dark or in dull conditions, the map background changes automatically to a darker colour when
you switch on your vehicle lights. You can, however, turn off this automatic switching (see
"Auto day/night background" on page 112).
Daytime display
Night display
The examples in this manual are illustrated using the daytime display. When driving at night,
the colours you see may differ from those shown.
• To use this function, the ILL lead to the Mobile Navigation Unit must be connected correctly.

%DVLF2SHUDWLRQ
When You Switch On
After your Mobile Navigation System starts up, you are presented with a cautionary message
and then asked to enter your password if one has been registered (see "Registering a password"
on page 25). What follows depends on the state of the system when it was last switched off.
• If you leave your Navigation System on when you turn off the ignition, then the next time you turn
on the ignition it will start up automatically. On the other hand, if you manually turn the system off
using the Navigation commander, you will need to switch it on manually next time.
• Using this system without starting the engine will run down your battery. Please make sure your
engine is running before you switch it on.
The first time you switch the system on, the Destination menu appears once you have dismissed
the opening screen and entered your password. You are presented with a list of options that help
you find or specify a destination in order to obtain guidance to it.
If you have used the system before and you were being guided to a destination when you last
switched it off (or turned off the ignition ), then guidance to your destination will resume as
soon as the system is switched on again. In all other cases, however, the first display you see
after dismissing the opening screen and entering your password is the Destination menu.

• Full details of how to use the Destination menu are given in “Settng a Route to Your Destination”.
• If you were being guided to a destination when you last switched off the system.
Then guidance mode will resume. This means that if you stop at a service station, for example,
when you resume your journey the system will pick up where it left off and give you onward
guidance toward your destination. If you press the K (MENU) button on the Navigation
commander while in guidance mode, the Guidance menu is displayed. This gives access to the
various functions and features you need while under guidance. You can also gain access to the
various system settings from this menu.
• Full details of Guidance menu usage are given in “Guidance to Your Destination” and “Using
Guidance Menu”.
%DVLF2SHUDWLRQ
Basic Menu Usage
The Destination menu and Guidance menu provide access to most of the important functions
of your Mobile Navigation System. There is also a Settings menu, which you use to customise
the appearance and behaviour of your system. The various options presented in these menus
are selected using the joystick on your Navigation commander.
Displaying the menus
The Destination and Guidance menus are central to the operation of this navigation system, and
you can gain quick access to them at any time using the K (MENU) button on the Navigation
commander. If no destination has been set, pressing the K (MENU) button causes the
Destination menu to appear. On the other hand, if you are already being guided to a destination,
the Guidance menu is displayed. The Settings menu, which you can use at any time to change
certain basic settings, is reached by choosing "SETTINGS" from either the Destination menu
or the Guidance menu.
• "Selecting from a menu or list" below explains how to choose an item from a menu.
Selecting from a menu or list
Selecting from a menu is a two step procedure in which you first highlight an option and then
actually select it by clicking the - button. The same procedure is also used to select from any
lists or submenus which appear as a result of making choices from these main menus. You may
already have some experience with this procedure if you chose to register your home location
or a password in “Getting Started”.

As each menu item is reached, it is highlighted in yellow. For certain items, the information
and map symbols may also appear to the left and right, respectively.
• If the menu contains more items than can be displayed on one screen, the presence of extra items is
indicated by green arrows at the top or bottom of the list. To view these items, simply scroll up or
down to them using the joystick.
• When a list is displayed, you can use the ) and * buttons to move up or down quickly.

The Text Palette
It is sometimes necessary to key information into your Pioneer Mobile Navigation System.
Generally, you can choose to do this by directly entering the text. Whenever there is a need for
text to be input, you are presented with a text palette. You will most often see this text palette
when asked to enter a password and when you wish to search for a destination. You may
already have some experience with the procedure if you have chosen to register your home
location or a password in “Getting Started”.
Understanding the text palette display
The text palette consists of a text entry box and a palette of letters, numbers, and other icons
that you can select. A cursor (a small underscore) in the text entry box marks the position at
which the next character will be input. The icons that appear in the text palette vary according
to the type of information you are expected to input.
? Delete backward (deletes the previous character)
@ Space (moves the cursor forward)
D Lists recent results. (For example, if the text palette is asking for a city name, clicking this
icon will display a list of recently searched cities.)
E Choose this icon if you can’t provide the information requested; for example when input of
a street number is called for, choosing this icon sets a route to the nearest point along the
chosen road or street.
B Provides a list of streets that intersect with the chosen road or street.
How to input text
Follow these instructions to enter text using the text palette.

The Map Display
Much of the information provided by your Pioneer Mobile Navigation System is presented in
the form of maps. It is important that you become familiar with the map display and learn what
the various symbols on the maps mean.
Understanding the map display
The display is much like a conventional map, and shows roads of various designations as well
as geographical features such as rivers, parks, and woods. Learn to recognise these features by
scrolling the map to an area you know well (see "Scrolling the map display" below).
There are also a number of symbols associated with the map display. Some form a permanent
part of the map display, while others depend on settings made elsewhere.
:LWKWKH'HVWLQDWLRQPHQXGLVSOD\HGSUHVVWKHN1$9,EXWWRQRQ\RXU
1DYLJDWLRQFRPPDQGHU
The map display appears. Your current location is shown on the map.
The meaning of the various icons on the map display is as follows.
M
The current location of your vehicle. The arrow indicates your heading, and the display
moves automatically as you drive.
, Map scale indicator. The figure gives the distance represented by the red bar.
A
Radius mark. Circle around your current location with a radius equal to the red bar on
the map scale indicator.
F
Compass mark. The red arrow indicates north.
Tracking marks indicating the route you have travelled (displayed with dots); your
previous 200 km (120 miles) are shown.
Names of roads (shown at the bottom of the display)
• If you set "MAP ORIENTATION" to "HEADING UP" in the Settings menu, your current location is
displayed slightly lower than the centre of the screen. On the other hand, if "MAP
ORIENTATION" is set to "NORTH UP", your location is displayed at the centre of the display
(see page 99). The default setting is "HEADING UP".
• The information given on the map display changes once a route has been set (see "On-screen
Guidance" on page 76).
Scrolling the map display
Whenever you switch to the map display, your current position is shown just below the centre
of the display (or in the centre if "MAP ORIENTATION" is set to "NORTH UP"; see
"Changing the Factory Settings" on page 99). However, you can scroll the map in any direction
using the joystick; simply push the joystick in the direction you wish to scroll. Eight directions
of movement are possible.
• If you hold down the - button while scrolling the map, minor roads will be suppressed from the
display. This increases the scrolling speed.
To stop scrolling, release the joystick and allow it to return to the centre position. Scrolling will
stop immediately. To return the map to a display of your current location again, press the N
(NAVI) button on your Navigation commander.

Hold the button down to zoom in or out in smaller increments.
Your First Destination
You have now learned how to interpret the information shown on the display and are ready to
begin using your Mobile Navigation System to navigate to a destination. The next step is to use
the Destination menu to tell the system about your first destination. Depending on what you
know about your intended destination, and the type of place it is, read the appropriate section
of "Setting a Route to Your Destination" as follows.
Read section "Finding a Destination by Street/City Search" on page 55 if:
• You have the full address of your destination
• Your destination is the centre of a city, town, or village
• You don’t know the exact address, but can locate your destination manually once a map of the nearest
city, town, or village is displayed on the screen.
Read section "Finding a Destination by Specific Post Code" on page 62 if:
• You know only the post code of your destination
• You want to view a particular post code area on the map and then manually choose a nearby
destination
• You know the post code, street name, and house number of your destination.
Read section "Setting a Route to a Specific Point of Interest" on page 64 if:
• You want to route to a railway station, tourist information office, or similar point of interest in a
particular city, town, or village
Read section "Finding a Destination on the Map" on page 71 if:
You want to manually search for a destination because you have no other information about it
• Setting a route using the map is most useful if your destination is nearby, or if you are familiar with
the geographical area.

The Destination menu allows you to set a route to:
• a previously visited destination
• back home or to a previously stored location (if they have been registered)
• a location identified by address, partial address, or post code
• a point of interest chosen from a list
• a specified point on the map.
• Some roads and streets have restrictions that limit access to certain types of vehicle. In order to set a
correct route, your Mobile Navigation System must know what type of vehicle you are driving. Make
sure you correctly select your vehicle type before attempting to set a route (see “Vehicle type” on
page 107).
• The “GO TO (registered location name)” item appears only after a stored location is registered. If no
stored location has been registered, it reads “ROUTE TO ...” - and you can register a location by
choosing it.
CAUTION
• Remember: do not operate your Mobile Navigation System while in motion if
doing so will divert your attention from the safe operation of your vehicle. To be
safe, pull over and come to a halt before using any of the functions in the
Destination menu. Always observe safe driving rules and follow all existing traffic
regulations.
6HWWLQJD5RXWHWR\RXU'HVWLQDWLRQ
Setting a Route Using the Destination History
The Destination history allows you to easily obtain guidance from your current location to any
previously visited location.
Using the Destination history
The Destination history is a convenient list of places that you have routed to in the past. Up to
98 previous destinations are stored in the list, and you can rename or delete particular listings
at any time. To set a route back to one of these listings, all you have to do is to select it from
the list.
• If you are using your Mobile Navigation System for the first time, the Destination history will be
empty and you cannot select your destination by this method.
CAUTION
• For safety reasons, this function is not available while your vehicle is in motion.
Stop and apply the handbrake before use.

Finding a Destination by Street/City Search
If you know the address of your destination, you can set a route to it using the “STREET/CITY
SEARCH” function. Even if you only know the city, town, or village your destination is in, or
perhaps know only the street name and an intersecting street, you can locate the intersection on
the map and then route there. Other uses of this function are to route to any city or town centre,
or to find a route to a particular road or motorway.

CAUTION
• This Mobile Navigation System is intended solely as an aid to you in the operation
of your vehicle. It is not a substitute for your attentiveness, judgment, and care
when driving. Do not use the Navigation commander or look at the display if doing
so will divert your attention from the safe operation of your vehicle. Always
observe safe driving rules and follow all existing traffic regulations.
About Screen Guidance and Voice Guidance
Your Mobile Navigation System provides you with directions as you drive toward your
destination. As well as screen instructions, you will hear voice directions.
*XLGDQFHWR<RXU'HVWLQDWLRQ
Initiating Guidance
Your Pioneer Mobile Navigation System automatically switches to guidance mode once a route
has been set. Once route setting is completed, the map appears on the display and your current
location is shown by M. The suggested route appears as a bold bright green line leading away
from your vehicle’s position as marked by M.
%HJLQGULYLQJLQWKHGLUHFWLRQLQGLFDWHGE\M
• As you drive, the Mmark showing your vehicle's position moves accordingly.
Voice Guidance
Your Mobile Navigation System provides voice directions simultaneously with on-screen
guidance. This feature allows you to concentrate on driving, eliminating the need for you to
continually monitor the display.
When do you hear voice directions?
Once under guidance, you will hear directions telling you what to do at each upcoming turn.
What if you miss an instruction?
If you want to hear a repeat of the latest guidance, simply press the N (NAVI) button on the
Navigation commander. You will hear the directions for the upcoming turn once again.
What do you hear?
As you drive in guidance mode, the system will provide you with a range of information about
upcoming turns and the streets you are passing. It also warns you when you are nearing your
destination. You will hear:
• Distance to the next turn or other instruction
• The turn direction
• Names of motorways
• Final destination
• Guidance is available using three different voices, two recorded (female or male) and the other
synthesised. You choose between them using the “GUIDANCE VOICE” setting on page 107.
*XLGDQFHWR<RXU'HVWLQDWLRQ
On-screen Guidance
Guidance is also given through on-screen instructions whenever the system is in guidance
mode. Here you will learn how to interpret the various information presented to you on the
screen, and how to customise the display of guidance information.
Guidance modes
You can obtain on-screen guidance in three different forms, or modes. “Map mode” indicates
your progress on the map with M. “Arrow mode” displays a simple representation of upcoming
intersections, indicating which way you should turn. “Split Screen mode” combines both
methods of guidance on the display.
Map mode
This is the mode that is displayed when guidance begins. In this mode, the position of your
vehicle is superimposed on the map. It provides an easily understood view of progress toward
your destination. The route is marked by a bold bright green line, and the direction in which
you are heading is clearly shown by M.
The following information is presented in this mode:
Name or designation of the next road or street on your route
(Name of motorway or motorway junction)
• If the information is too long to display in full, it is truncated with “...”
Distance to the next way point
Destination icon (if your destination is on the map)
Your route (in bright green.)
Remaining distance to your destination
Name or designation of current road or street
Way point icon
Compass icon
Origin icon (if your origin is on the map)
• As you approach a intersection, an enlarged map of the intersection is displayed. This makes it much
easier to navigate your way around complex intersections. If you scroll the map while in this enlarged
view, the normal map reappears.
• With “AUTO ROAD HIDING” turned on, minor roads are not displayed as long as you are on the
correct route and the street is a major street (see page 107).
*XLGDQFHWR<RXU'HVWLQDWLRQ
Arrow mode
This mode presents you with a simple representation of upcoming intersections on your route.
It gives a clear indication of which way to turn. Although it provides no visual clue as to your
present position on the map, in contrast with “Map mode”, it provides simple and precise
directions for each turn as you approach it.
In this mode, the following information is presented on the display:
Name or designation of the next road or street on your route
(name of motorway or motorway junction)
• If the information is too long to display in full, it is truncated with “...”
Distance to the next way point
Your route (in bright green)
Your present position and direction (displayed by M as you approach an intersection only)
Name or designation of current road or street
Compass icon
Points of interest in the vicinity of you, current location (as selected for overlay on the map,
see “Working with points of interest” on page 69)
• Point of interest icons have three background colours:
No background: point of interest nearby
Green background: along regular route
Blue background: along motorway on the route
Remaining distance to your destination
Estimated time to your destination (up to 99 hours and 59 minutes)
• The actual time required to reach your destination may differ from that displayed depending on actual
vehicle speed and traffic conditions.
• If you are not on the correct route (such as in a car park or have just left the set route), a map is
displayed.
Displaying upcoming intersections
In Arrow mode, you can also view upcoming intersections.
:KLOHLQ$UURZPRGHFOLFNXSZLWKWKHMR\VWLFN
The display divides into two sections. The usual information about the next intersection is
shown to the left. On the right is information about intersections beyond the next one.
7RUHWXUQWRWKHQRUPDO$UURZPRGHGLVSOD\SUHVVWKHN1$9,EXWWRQ
*XLGDQFHWR<RXU'HVWLQDWLRQ
Split Screen mode
In this mode, both the map and arrow guidance displays appear side by side. Although less
additional information is available on the screen, this mode is convenient because it gives
precise directions regarding upcoming turns while also allowing you to see your progress on
the map.
Switching between on-screen guidance modes
You can switch between the three guidance modes at any time without interrupting the flow of
directions.
&OLFNWKH-EXWWRQ
• As you click the - button, the mode cycles through the sequence: Map mode → Arrow mode → Split
Screen mode → Map mode.
• You can also set the guidance mode from the Guidance menu; see “Changing the Guidance Mode”
on page 91.
If You Stray from the Route
If for any reason you stray away from the suggested route, your Mobile Navigation System will
help you get back on track.
• If the “AUTO REROUTE” function is ON, it will automatically calculate a new route to your
destination within a short time of your vehicle leaving the set route.
• The “AUTO REROUTE” function can be turned off in the Settings menu; see page 102.
• If the “AUTO REROUTE” function is OFF and you are in Arrow mode or Split Screen
mode, the display automatically changes to Map mode. If you return to the set route, the
display will return to Arrow mode or Split Screen mode.
• If you fail to follow a route immediately after it has been first set, (such as if you leave in the
wrong direction when exiting a large car park, for example) the voice warning “Please
proceed to the highlighted route” will be given before rerouting takes place.
*XLGDQFHWR<RXU'HVWLQDWLRQ
If You Take a Break
While being guided to your destination, you may need to stop to fill up with fuel or simply want
a rest. This poses no problem for your Mobile Navigation System; it will remember the
destination you have chosen. When you start your car up again, it will come on and resume
guidance where it left off when you stopped.
• When you start the engine after a break, the system may rebuild the route data. This may take a few
moments. Route guidance will begin when the process is finished.
• When you start the engine after a break, route guidance will begin in the same mode as displayed
when you stopped.
Settings
You can use the Settings menu to customise certain guidance characteristics. Display the
Settings menu by pressing the K (MENU) button while in guidance mode to display the
Guidance menu (see “Using the Guidance Menu”) and selecting “SETTINGS”. Full details of
the various settings are given in “Customising the System”. The settings related to this chapter
are explained below.
AUTO REROUTE:
Allows you to choose how the system behaves if you stray off the suggested route. Auto
rerouting is on by default.
GUIDANCE VOICE:
Allows you to specify whether one of the recorded voices (female or male) or the synthesised
voice is used to give guidance. The female recorded voice is the default setting.
AUTO ROAD HIDING:
Allows you to choose whether minor roads and streets are displayed or not. The default setting
is to hide minor roads and streets.
• If you are on the correct route and the route is along a major street, a simplified map is displayed.

REROUTE: Setting a New Route to Your Destination
If you leave the set route, or for any other reason want to find a new route to your destination,
you can reroute from your present location using different parameters. The parameters you can
choose from are “SHORTEST ROUTE” and “FEWER TURNS”.
Choosing reroute parameters
REROUTE will find a new route to your destination that is either the shortest possible route or
a route with fewer turns.

• The shortest route back to the original route is calculated.
• Such settings as TIME TURN RESTRICTION and AREAS TO BE AVOIDED are ignored in finding
the way back to your original route.
DETOUR: Avoid the Road Ahead
As you follow the guidance provided by your Mobile Navigation System, you may wish to find
an alternative route that avoids a certain length of the road ahead. For example, you may hear
on the radio that the road ahead is heavily congested. In such a situation, “DETOUR” may be
able to find a route around the congestion by taking a less direct route at upcoming
intersections.
• Note that “DETOUR” cannot, in all cases, find an appropriate route, so it may not necessarily avoid
traffic congestion or other problems.
• Depending on the road layout, the detour function may not be able to begin a detour immediately.
Choosing the length of the detour
Before telling the system to plan a detour, you must decide how much of the route ahead to
detour. There are three options: 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km (1 miles, 3 miles, or 6 miles).
CAUTION
• For safety reasons, this function is not available while your vehicle is in motion.

• Use these choices to select a further destination in much the same way you set your original
destination. This menu allows you to set the following as your further destination:
* a previously visited destination
* your home or a previously stored location
* a location identified by address, partial address, or post code
* a point of interest chosen from a list
* a specified point on the map
• The “GO TO (registered location name)” item reflects the stored location only if one has been
registered. If no stored location has yet been registered, it reads “ROUTE TO...” (you can register a
stored location by selec-ting “ROUTE TO...”).
• For an explanation of these various choices, see “Settng a Route to Your Destination”. After choosing
a method, proceed to choose a further destination as described in “Settng a Route to Your
Destination”.
• The original destination cannot be set as a further destination.
• If you set further destination, a number indicating the number of consecutive destination is displayed
along with the Destination icon in Map mode (> for example).
• You can set one more destination only.
• If you set further destination, the route to the second destination only becomes highlighted after you
reach your first.
Locating Nearby Points of Interest
While travelling to your destination, you may want to locate restaurants, museums, or other
points of interest on or near your route. You can easily overlay such points of interest on the
map (if you are in Map mode or Split Screen mode). Or you can have them indicated on the
display (if you are in Arrow mode). Alternatively, if you want to view a point of interest of a
particular type, you can obtain a list of those within a certain range of your present location and
ask the system to set a route to one for you.

Changing the Factory Settings
Access the factory settings from the “SETTINGS” menu. Display the settings menu by
choosing “SETTINGS” in either the Destination menu or the Guidance menu. To illustrate the
process of changing settings, an example is given here in which “MAP ORIENTATION” is
changed from “HEADING UP” (the factory setting) to “NORTH UP”. This refers to the
orientation of the map; “HEADING UP” causes the map to rotate on the display such that your
driving direction is always toward the top of the display, whereas “NORTH UP” puts north
permanently at the top of your display.
• If you set “MAP ORIENTATION” to “HEADING UP” in the Settings menu, your current location
is displayed slightly lower than the centre of the screen. On the other hand, if “MAP
ORIENTATION” is set to “NORTH UP”, your location is displayed at the centre of the display.

User Settings
This section gives details of all the settings that can be customised. Some settings are simple
choices presented in the form of buttons; in this case just highlight the appropriate button and
click the - button. Others require text input and voice confirmation. A full explanation is
given.
Auto reroute
Your Mobile Navigation System can automatically reroute you to your destination in certain
situations. The default setting is “ON”.
• ON:
Rerouting will take place if you stray away from the route.
• OFF:
No automatic rerouting if you stray off the route. You must manually reroute (see
“REROUTE: Setting a New Route to Your Destination” on page 86) to obtain
guidance to your destination.
Time turn restriction
Certain streets and turns have restrictions that apply only at certain times of day, such as turn
restrictions and restrictions on direction. This setting allows these restrictions to be taken into
account when setting a route. The default setting is “OFF”.
• ON:
Roads and intersections with time restrictions may be considered in the route.
• OFF:
Roads and intersections with time restrictions are not considered from the route.
• The TIME TURN RESTRICTION setting will not be used if you set a route while in a car park or in
any other off-road location. (The route will be set as if TIME TURN RESTRICTION is set to OFF.)
Selecting “ON”
• The cursor moves to the clock display. The joystick can be moved up or down to make
adjustments. Set the current hour and click the - button when done. (Minutes cannot be set.)
• If the clock is not properly set, routing will not be reliable.
• Take care to adjust the clock for Daylight Savings time and for the time difference between
countries.
• Under certain conditions, time turn restrictions will not be taken into account when setting a
route. That is, roads and intersections with time turn restrictions may appear in the route.
• “AUTO REROUTE” is fixed “ON” and cannot be changed.
CAUTION
• Your route will be determined based upon the time of day at which you input your
destination and not when you actually make your turn. Always observe traffic laws
existing at the time you wish to make your turn.
Street list on route
This function displays a list of roads and streets along the route every time a route is set to a
new destination. By reading the list of streets, you can check the route. The default setting is
“OFF”.
• ON: A list of streets and roads is displayed
• OFF: No list of streets along your route is shown
• The list can include up to 20 streets.
• If the number of roads and streets along the route exceeds the limit, the top 20 are shown as ranked
by importance and distance travelled.

Selecting a calibration memory
The built-in gyrosensor incorporates a learning function (see “Positioning Technology”, page
129) and you can choose to store the learning data in one of two memories. The default is
“MEMORY-1”.
+LJKOLJKW³6(/(&7&$/,%5$7,210(025<´DQGFOLFNWKH-EXWWRQ
• MEMORY-1:
• MEMORY-2:
The gyrosensor learning results are usually stored in Memory-1. If you use
the same tyres throughout the year, you don’t need to change this setting.
The learning results can also be stored in Memory-2. You can use this when
you change to winter tyres or any other tyres of different size that you use
on occasion.
• Be sure to reset MEMORY-2 before using it for the first time. See also “Calibrating the built-in
gyrosensor” on page 27.
Resetting the calibration memory
Resetting the calibration memory clears all gyrosensor learning data from the memory
(Memory-1 or Memory-2) currently in use. See “Calibrating the built-in gyrosensor” on page
27 for details.
Tracking display
You can set the system to display tracking dots that show the route you have driven. You can
choose to show these dots for the current journey, for all routes since you last cleared the dots,
or not at all. The default setting is “ON (PERMANENTLY)” for all journeys.
• ON (PERMANENTLY):
Display tracking dots for all journeys
• ON (CURRENT JOURNEY): Display tracking dots but erase them when the Navigation
System is turned off
• OFF:
Do not display tracking dots
• When “ON (PERMANENTLY)” is selected, tracking dots for all subsequent journeys are shown.
You can reset the display by choosing “ON (CURRENT JOURNEY)”.
&XVWRPLVLQJWKH6\VWHP
Auto day/night background
The map background colour is optimised for daytime driving. Automatic switching to a slightly
darker background colour suitable for night driving is possible; the night-driving background
is then displayed whenever you turn on your vehicle’s headlights. The default setting is “ON”.
• ON: Automatic switching to night-driving background when headlights are switched on
• OFF: Always use daytime background colour
• To use this function, the ILL lead to the Mobile Navigation Unit must be connected correctly.
Cartographic language
Depending on the map disc you are using, various languages may be available for the display
of street names and other information on the map. You can choose the language you prefer. The
default setting is “AUTOMATIC”.
• When “AUTOMATIC” is selected, the text on the map is usually displayed in the same
language as used by the menus (and which is also used for voice guidance). However, if the
language used by the menus is not available on the map disc currently in use, the map disc’s
default language (which differs according to the map disc) is used for text on the map instead.
• Choosing a language from the list will cause the map text to display in that language.
However, if the language used by the menus is not available on the map disc currently in use,
the map disc’s default language (which differs according to the map disc) is used for text on
the map instead.
Short menus
Short versions of the Destination menu and Guidance menu are available. These give only the
most frequently used functions. Here, you can set these short menus to be displayed. The
default setting is “(A) AND (B) STANDARD”.
• SHORT DESTINATION MENU(A): Use the short Destination menu only
• SHORT GUIDANCE MENU(B):
Use the short Guidance menu only
• (A) AND (B) STANDARD:
Use both standard menus
• (A) AND (B) SHORT:
Use both short menus
• The short menus include a “SHOW STANDARD MENU” item. Selecting this allows you to return
to the standard menu at any time.
Operation voice instruction
You can choose to receive voice information about menu selections when available.
• ON: Voice instruction given
• OFF: No voice instruction given
Password
You can place a password in the system to prevent unauthorised use. This may be necessary if
you are driving a commercial vehicle with many drivers, but you want to restrict use of this
Mobile Navigation System to certain people. In a private vehicle, you can register a password
to prevent others gaining access to your Destination history and home location. You are given
an opportunity to register a password when you first switch on the system. If you choose not to
register one at that time, or if you want to change the password later, follow the directions in
“Registering a password”on page 25.
In order to register a new password, you must first enter the old password.
• Use one of the memo pages at the end of this manual to note down your password, then remove the
page and keep it in a safe place. Do not keep a note of your password in the vehicle.
Km/mile setting
You can choose the units used to display distances. The default setting is “AUTOMATIC”.
• AUTOMATIC: Setting changes automatically depending on local usage
• KM:
Always display in kilometres
• MILE:

You are given an opportunity to register your home location when you first switch on the
system (see “Registering your home location” on page 21). If you chose not to register it at that
time but decide to register your home location later, or if you want to make a change to the
registered location, you can do it here. Follow the instructions given in “Registering your home
location” on page 21.
• If you have already registered your home location, then upon selecting “HOME LOCATION” you
will be given a choice of “DELETE” or “REGISTER”. If you choose “DELETE”, you will be asked
to confirm that you want to delete the location. Highlight “YES” and click the - button to delete. If
you choose “REGISTER”, proceed as in “Registering your home location” on page 21.
Preferred Destination
You can register the location of one particular location for quick and easy routing. Details of
how to register a location are given in “Registering locations” on page 52.
• If you have already registered a stored location, then upon selecting “PREFERRED DESTINATION”
you will be given a choice of “DELETE” or “REGISTER”. If you choose “DELETE”, you will be
asked to confirm that you want to delete the location. Highlight “YES” and click the - button to
delete. If you choose “REGISTER”, proceed as in “Registering locations” on page 52.
Wide/normal display
You will be able to connect to a wide range of displays to this system as they become available.

Voice Operation
Voice operation allows you to concentrate on the task of driving your vehicle. Combined with
voice guidance, it means that while actually driving there is little need to use the Navigation
commander nor to continuously monitor the display. The result is greatly enhanced safety.
Most of the functions that you need while driving can be activated with voice commands.
• Routing to a previously visited location using the Destination history
• Routing home or to the stored location
• Overlaying a specific category of point of interest on the map
• Re-routing from any location while under guidance
• Stopping at a specific point of interest while under guidance
2SHUDWLQJWKH6\VWHPE\9RLFH
Successful Voice Recognition
In order for your voice commands to be correctly recognised and interpreted, you need to take
certain steps to ensure that conditions are suitable for recognition. These are outlined below.
• 5HGXFHWKHYROXPHVHWWLQJRQ\RXUFDUDXGLRV\VWHP
The voice recognition system may have problems differentiating your voice commands if
there is too much extraneous noise. Turn down your audio system and remember that voices
on the radio might be interpreted as commands.
• &ORVHWKHYHKLFOHZLQGRZV
Just as the 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
recognition, try closing the vehicle windows.
• 3RVLWLRQWKHPLFURSKRQHFDUHIXOO\
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 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.
• 3DXVHEHIRUHJLYLQJDFRPPDQG
After pressing the H (TALK) button on the Navigation commander, pause for a moment
after the confirmation “beep” before giving a voice command. Speaking too soon may cause
recognition to fail. If you experience recognition problems, leave a slightly longer interval
before giving a command.
• 3URQRXQFH\RXUFRPPDQGVFDUHIXOO\
Speak slowly and deliberately with clear annunciation. Fast or mumbled commands are
easily misinterpreted. If the microphone is properly positioned, there is no need to raise your
voice when giving commands.
• $YRLGVSHDNLQJZKLOHYRLFHGLUHFWLRQVDUHEHLQJJLYHQ
Do not give commands while voice navigation directions are being given by the system, as
these may interfere with recognition.
•
,I\RXKDYHD3LRQHHUFDUDXGLRV\VWHPZLWKDPXWLQJIXQFWLRQ (which has an MUTE lead), the

Positioning Technology
Recent advances in communications, computer technology, and engineering have made it
possible to determine a location on earth with remarkable accuracy. This Mobile Navigation
System brings together a number of these techniques to provide you with an accurate, and
constantly updated, indication of your vehicle’s position. Here, we provide an outline of the
technology used in the system.
$SSHQGL[
What is GPS?
The global positioning system, or GPS, depends on a network of artificial satellites encircling
the earth. Each of the 24 satellites, which orbit at a height of 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.
GPS signals can be freely picked up by anyone with the appropriate equipment. By applying
sophisticated signal processing techniques to the data received, it is possible to determine a
location to within a few tens of metres. Advances in electronics mean that the computing power
needed to do this signal processing is easily fitted into aircraft, boats, and now even navigation
systems for vehicles.
How is it used?
GPS is used by this system to determine the absolute location of your vehicle. This enables it
to display your location accurately on a map. The accuracy of the information obtained with
GPS depends on how good the reception is. When the signals are strong and reception is good,
it is possible to determine latitude, longitude, and altitude for accurate positioning in three
dimensions (3D). On the other hand, if signal quality is low, only two dimensions (2D), latitude
and longitude, can be obtained and positioning errors are somewhat greater.
• The GPS satellites are administered by the United States Department of Defence; on occasion, the
data broadcast by the satellites may intentionally be reduced in quality. In such a case, positioning
errors will increase.
When is it used?
GPS is used to determine your position whenever adequate signals are available. However,
there are times when this is not possible and the system has to rely on an estimated position (see
“Dead reckoning” below).
• If signals can be picked up from no more than two GPS satellites, GPS positioning does not
take place.
• Under some driving conditions, signals from GPS satellites may not reach your vehicle. In
this case, it is not possible 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 trough
dense forest or tall trees
• GPS reception may be lost temporarily if a car phone or cellular phone is used near the GPS
aerial.
Care of the GPS aerial
Do not obstruct the GPS aerial with spray paint or car wax, as this may block the reception of
GPS signals. Snow buildup may also degrade the signals, so keep the aerial clear.
$SSHQGL[
Dead reckoning
What is dead reckoning?
Unlike GPS, dead reckoning relies on sensors installed in your vehicle to gather data about your
movements. The built-in gyrosensor is able to detect the turning motion of your vehicle, and
combines this with distance information taken from speed pulse data, as used by the
speedometer, to approximately track your position.
• The speed pulse data comes from the speed sensing circuit. The location of this speed sensing circuit
depends on your vehicle model. In some cases, it is impossible to make a connection 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 gyroscopic data. However, if nothing but gyroscopic
data is available for a long period, positioning errors are gradually compounded until the
estimate of your location becomes unreliable. For this reason, whenever GPS signals are
available, they are matched with the gyroscopic data and used to correct it for improved
accuracy.
Learning function for better accuracy
To ensure maximum accuracy, the dead reckoning system incorporates a learning function. By
comparing the position it estimates with your actual position as obtained using GPS, it is able
to correct for various types of error, such as tyre wear and the rolling motion of your vehicle.
As you drive, it gradually builds up more data, or learning, and the accuracy of its estimates
gradually increases; as a result, you can expect your position as shown on the map to show
fewer errors after you have driven some distance.
Handling large errors
If you use chains on your wheels for winter driving, or if you need to use the spare wheel, the
errors may appear to suddenly increase as a result of the different wheel diameter. To prevent
corruption of learning data that has been gradually built up about your vehicle, learning
automatically stops when such errors suddenly appear.
• If for any reason GPS signals cannot be picked up, learning and error correction are not possible. If
GPS positioning has been operating for only a short time, your vehicle’s actual position and the
current location mark on the map may diverge considerably. Once GPS reception is restored,
accuracy will be recovered within about two hours.
• There are two learning memories, so the system can learn about and compensate for two different tyre
sets, such as summer and winter tyres. (See “Selecting a calibration memory” on page 111 for details.)
Map matching
As mentioned, the GPS and dead reckoning systems used by this Mobile 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 vehicles
travel only on roads, and is able to correct your position by adjusting it to a nearby road. This
is called map matching.

With no map matching
$SSHQGL[
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 slight turn
• If there is a parallel road
• If there is another road very nearby, such as in the case of an elevated motorway
• 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
$SSHQGL[
• If you enter or exit a multi-story car park lot or similar with a spiral junction
• If your vehicle is turned on a turntable or similar
• If your vehicle’s wheels spin, such as on a rough track or in snow
• If you put on chains, or change your tyres 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 car park
• When you pass around a roundabout

About CD-ROM Map Discs
Map discs covering other areas are available for your Mobile Navigation System. You can use
any map disc that is compatible with SDAL. To find out more, contact your nearest Pioneer
service facility. Before calling, you need to check the version numbers of your present
programme as described below; you may be asked for this information when you call.
7XUQWKH0RELOH1DYLJDWLRQ6\VWHPRQ
Version of SDAL standard
Pioneer programme reference code
A display similar to this is shown for a few seconds.
1RWHGRZQWKHYHUVLRQQXPEHUVIRUWKHSURJUDPPH
These are the SDAL and APL numbers on the display (SDAL V. 1 and APL:KNRNLA in the
example shown).
• The SDAL standard on the CD-ROM must match this SDAL standard.
• In the case of a CD-ROM meeting the specified version of the SDAL standards but covering an area
not authorised by Pioneer, the system may not operate correctly and could be very dangerous. Please
contact Pioneer to check which areas are authorised.
Handling and Care of CD-ROM Discs
Some basic precautions are necessary when handling CD-ROM discs.
• Do not touch the recorded surface of a CD-ROM. Carefully hold the disc by its outer edge
or by the hole in the centre, as shown.
• Do not attach sticky tape or similar to the surfaces of a CD-ROM. Avoid scratching the disc,
or damaging it in any other way.
• Keep CD-ROMs clean and free of dust. If it becomes necessary to clean a disk, use a soft,
lint-free cloth to wipe the surface from the centre outward, as shown.
• Never apply solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercial cleaners, or anti-static fluids
intended for vinyl records to your CD-ROMs.
• Keep your CD-ROMs away from direct sunlight, sources of heat, and sources of dust. Store
the discs in their protective cases to provide greater protection against warping.
Ambient conditions can affect the behaviour of discs and the operation of the system.
• Vibrations caused by driving may sometimes interrupt the reading of map data from the CDROM, causing slow screen changes.
• In cold weather, condensation may form on the optical lens used to read the CD-ROM or on
the disc itself, particularly when the vehicle initially warms up. This may render the disc
unreadable for up to an hour as the moisture evaporates naturally. You may wipe
condensation of a disc with a soft cloth (from the centre outward).
• At extremely high temperatures, a temperature cut-off protects the Navigation System by
switching it off automatically.

Route Setting Information
Route Search Specifications
Your Mobile 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
• Route-setting takes place automatically and guidance is based on the set route. The
system cannot take into account traffic restrictions and controls that depend on the
day. As you follow guidance, you must check the traffic restrictions for roads
along your route.
• The set route is not necessarily the shortest route to your destination.
• Route setting is limited to the range of the map disc in use. Additionally, if the destination is
too far, there may be instances where the route cannot be set.
• If you attempt to select a point on a motorway as a destination, a location on a nearby road
(such as below the motorway) may be chosen instead.
• During voice guidance, turns and junction from motorway are automatically announced.
(However, if you pass junctions, turns, and other guide points in quick succession, some may
not be announced.)
• Incorrect guidance may be given at motorway junctions if the exit lane is particularly long.
• If you choose a destination at a great distance from your current location, route setting may
take a long time.
How a Route Is Set
• In some cases, the set route may assume travel in the opposite direction to your current
heading.
• In some cases, a route may begin on the opposite side of a railway or river from your actual
current location. If this happens, try setting the route when closer to where you want to travel.
• Sometimes a route will unavoidably be set along roads in an area set to be avoided.
• It is possible that guidance may direct you off a motorway and then back on again.
• In some cases, guidance may direct you past your destination and then indicate a U-turn to
get back to it.
• If a route along a normal motorway passes near a motorway service area, the system may
mistake the service area for a motorway junction.
• If a suitable route cannot be set in compliance with the specified “DETOUR” parameter, an
area to be avoided, or your preference to avoid motorways, the setting or parameter may be
ignored.
• If your destination is a motorway 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.
• When performing a “RESUME ORIGINAL ROUTE”, the shortest way back to the original
route is found. It may take you along winding roads, narrow city streets, and other nonoptimal roads.
Route Highlighting
Once set, the route is highlighted in bright green on the map (except in Arrow mode).
• On major motorways and wide roads, where a road is on multiple levels, or in mountainous
areas with many hills and curves, the highlighted route may not coincide exactly with 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.
• If you set a further destination, the route to the second destination only becomes highlighted
after you reach your first destination.
$SSHQGL[
Intersection Enlargement
As you approach a intersection, the map scale is increased to show more detail.
• When the map scale increases, your vehicle direction immediately before reaching the
intersection is shown as “UP”. Thus, if you approach the intersection in a straight line, the
current location mark will come onto the map from the bottom of the display. If the road
curves into the intersection, the current location mark will enter the intersection from the
side.
• If the intersection is approached in a gentle curve, the map displayed may differ from the
actual road layout.
Current Location
Under certain conditions, map matching is unable to correct your position and your current
location may be shown incorrectly.
• If the vehicle has just been started or you turn on the Mobile Navigation System while
already in motion.
• When driving through tunnels, under motorways, among high-rise buildings, or wherever
reception of GPS signals is poor or multi-pass noise is present.
• Near a DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) station.
• When there is a road parallel to your route, such as an upper or lower level of a motorway,
and the two are displayed on the map as separate roads.
• On roads within industrial sites or on roads adjoining or in the vicinity of such sites.
• When negotiating multi-level intersection and Y intersections.
• On mountain roads with many sharp curves and numerous rises and falls.
• After a long stretch of straight or gently curving road.
• When using snow chains or if your vehicle’s wheels slip.
• After changing to tyres with different dimensions.
Other Information
Tracking
Your Mobile Navigation System marks your course on the map in certain increments (of
approximately 50 m (45 yards)). 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 200 km (124 miles) 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 whenever the Navigation System is switched off (“TRACKING DISPLAY” on page
111).

Please read
We apologize for a mistake in the “SEARCH BY” screen on Page 64 of the Owner’s Manual.
It shows only four menu items: “SEARCH BY NAME”, “SEARCH BY DISTANCE”,
“SEARCH BY CITY”, and “LIST ALL”. The actual screen also contains the “SEARCH BY
NAME/DISTANCE” item. “SEARCH BY NAME/DISTANCE” is convenient when you want
to search for POIs near your current location and by name. When you select “SEARCH BY
NAME/DISTANCE”, you enter the name, then choose the distance range. For further details,
please see “Search by name” (Page 66) and “Search by distance” (Page 67).
