1 Warnings and safety information
The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS receiver.
Clarion Navigation does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.
Clarion Navigation collects usage information and GPS logs that may be used for improving the
application and the quality of maps if you accept it when first using the application. The data are
processed anonymously; no one is able to track any personal information. If you change your mind
later, you can enable or disable the log collection in Settings (page 71).
It is important to look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we
recommend that you plan and review your route before you start your journey. Plan the route before
your departure and stop if you need to change the route.
You must follow the traffic rules. If you deviate from the planned route, Clarion Navigation changes
the instructions accordingly.

2.3 Navigation view
The navigation view is the main screen of Clarion Navigation that shows the planned route on a map.
Clarion Navigation works with digital maps which are not simply the computerised versions of
traditional paper maps. Similarly to paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps shows you streets
and roads. Elevation is also illustrated in colour.
The navigation view displays the following screen buttons, data fields, and route information on the
map during navigation:
Note!
Some buttons, fields, or icons may not be available in your product version.

the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. See page 17.
2.3.1 Streets and roads
Clarion Navigation shows the streets similarly to paper road maps. Their width and colours
correspond to their importance; you can easily tell a motorway from a small street.
2.3.2 GPS position markers
When your GPS position is available, Clarion Navigation marks your current position. By default, this
marker is a red arrow arrow. The dot near the arrow shows the GPS position as perceived by the GPS
receiver.
When on-road navigation is selected, the current position marker may not show your exact GPS
position and heading. If roads are near, it is aligned to the nearest road to eliminate GPS position
errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of the road.
If you select off-road navigation, the current position marker is at your exact GPS position. The
direction of the icon shows your current heading.
2.3.3 The planned route
The planned route is the currently navigated route. Whenever the destination is set, the route is active
until you delete it, reach your destination or suspend navigation. Clarion Navigation displays the route
in the following ways:
Symbol
Name
Description
Current GPS position
and starting point
It is your current position displayed on the map.
•In pedestrian mode it is the GPS position.
•If a vehicle is selected for route calculation and roads are
near, the arrow jumps to the nearest road.
•The dot near the arrow shows the exact GPS position.
Normally, if GPS position is available, the route starts from the
current position. If ther
e is no valid GPS position, Clarion
Navigation uses the last known position as the starting point.
Waypoint
(intermediate
destination)
It is an intermediate de
stination of the route before reaching the
final destination.

SD506AU 15
Destination (end point) It is the final destination of the route.
Route colour
The route alw
ays stands out with its colour on the map, both in
daytime and night colour modes.
Streets and roads that
are excluded from the
navigation
You can choose whether you want to use or avoid certain road
types (page 64). However, when Clarion Navigation cannot avoid
such roads, the route includes them and shows them in a colour
that is different from the route colour.
2.3.4 Turn preview and next street
When navigating a route, the top section of the Navigation view shows information about the next
route event (manoeuvre) and the next street or the next town.
There is a field in the top left corner displaying the next manoeuvre. Both the type of the manoeuvre
(turn, roundabout, exiting motorway, and so on) 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. Tap the icon of the actual manoeuvre to open the Itinerary screen.
2.3.5 Manoeuvre icons
During navigation the next manoeuvre is displayed in the top left corner. Most of the manoeuvre icons
are intuitive. The following table lists some of the frequently shown route events:

2.3.6 Lane information and signposts
When navigating on multi-lane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the
planned route. If lane information is available in the map data, Clarion Navigation displays the lanes
and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the
lanes and the direction you need to take.
Where additional information is available, arrows are replaced by signposts. 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 roads or by roadsides. They show the available destinations and the road numbers.
All signposts look similar when cruising (when there is no planned route). During navigation only the
signpost that points to the lane(s) to be taken is highlighted; all the others are darker.
If you want to hide the currently displayed signposts, tap any of them and the normal Navigation view
returns until new signpost information is received.
You can modify the signpost settings in (page 68).

SD506AU 17
2.3.7 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. At the top of the screen, road signs show you additional information.
If you want to hide the currently displayed junction and return to the Navigation view, tap the picture.
There are two kinds of Junction Views:
Provider Junction Views show a realistic view of the junction with realistic pictures of the road signs.
Where Provider Junction Views are not available but the necessary information exists, Generic
Junction Views show a generic view of the junction, focusing on the number and layout of lanes only.
The road signs are created from road shield, road number, and destination information received in the
map data.
Junction view can be turned off in . See page 68.
2.3.8 Motorway services
When you are driving on a motorway, the button appears at the top right corner of the
Navigation view. Tap it to open a panel with the details of the next few service stations (petrol
stations, restaurants).
Tap any of them to display the exit area on the map. You can now easily add this service station as a
waypoint to your route if necessary.
If you want to display other types of Places at the next few service stations, you can change the icons
in . See page 68.
