Guidance point
These are important landmarks along your route, gener-
ally intersections. The next guidance point along your
route is indicated on the map by the yellow flag icon.
Home location
Your registered home location.
ID3 tag
This is a method of embedding track-related information
in a MP3 file. This embedded information can include
the track title, the artist’s name, the album title, the
music genre, the year of production, comments and
other data. The contents can be freely edited using soft-
ware with ID3 Tag editing functions. Although the tags
are restricted to the number of characters, the informa-
tion can be viewed when the track is played back.
ISO9660 format
This is the international standard for the format logic of
CD-ROM folders and files. For the ISO9660 format, there
are regulations for the following two levels.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name consists of up to
8 characters, half-byte English capital letters and half-
byte numerals and the “_” sign, with a file-extension of
three characters.)
Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 characters (including
the separation mark “.” and a file extension). Each folder
contains less than 8 hierarchies.
Extended formats
Joliet:
File names can have up to 64 characters.
Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 characters.

MP3

conventional disc.
Multi-session
Multi-session is a recording method that allows addi-
tional data to be recorded later. When recording data on
