Route Setting Information

Route search specifications

Your Navigation System sets a route to your desti-
nation by applying certain built-in rules to the
map data. This section provides some useful
information about how a route is set.

• When a route is calculated, the route and

voice guidance for the route is automati-
cally set. Also, for day or time traffic regu-
lations, only information about traffic
regulations at the time when the route was
calculated is shown. One-way streets and
street closures may not be taken into con-
sideration. For example, if a street is open
during the morning only, but you arrive
later, it would be against the traffic regula-
tions so you cannot drive along the set
route. When driving, please follow the
actual traffic signs. Also, the system may
not know some traffic regulations.

• Update Navigation DVDs are available for

purchase from your local Pioneer dealer
that includes the most current map and
point of interest information. Contact your
local Pioneer dealer for details.

About the route condition

When the calculation of only one route is set, you
can search a route option by combining the fol-
lowing conditions.

➲ How to set the calculation conditions

For example, when “Shortest” and “Avoid
Motorway
” (“On”) are combined, the route,
which avoids motorway, and has the shortest
travel time, will be calculated and displayed on
the screen.
Condition 1 :whether to put priority on the
distance, or time

Shortest :
Calculate a route with the shortest distance to
your destination as a priority.

Fastest :
Calculate a route with the shortest travel time to
your destination as a priority.

Condition 2 :whether to use motorway or not

Avoid Motorway :
Calculate a route that avoids motorway. (A route
using the motorway may be set if your destina-
tion is far away.)

• The system assumes the driver deviated either

intentionally or inadvertently from the route
and searches for another route (intelligent
rerouting). Depending on the situation, the
system may search a new route that does not
return to the original one.

• The calculated route is one example of the

route to your destination decided by the Navi-
gation System whilst taking the type of streets
or traffic regulations into account. It is not nec-
essarily an optimum route. (In some cases, you
may not be able to set the streets you want to
pass. If you want to pass a certain street, set
the way point on that street.)

• The route set by your Navigation System is

based on the assumption that the driver does
not know the area. Thus, the streets known to
local drivers, such as small streets or special
roads, may not be used for the set route.

• Some route options may become the same

route. If visiting points are set, or the route is
