2. PRECAUTIONS
English
WARNING
• For your safety, the driver should not watch any video sources and/or operate the controls while driving. Please
Owner’s Manual
note that watching and operating any video sources while driving are prohibited by law in some countries. Also,
while driving, keep the volume to a level at which external sounds can be heard.
• When using the navigation system, follow the precautions listed below. After reading this manual, be sure to
keep it in a handy place (such as the glove box of your car).
• This navigation system should not be used to replace your own judgment. No itinerary suggested by this
navigation system should ever override any highway regulations, your own judgment, or a knowledge of safe
driving practices. Do not follow the navigation system’s suggested itinerary if it would cause you to perform a
dangerous or illegal act, place you in a dangerous situation, or take you into an area you consider unsafe.
• The advice provided by the navigation system is to be regarded as a suggestion only. There may be times when
the navigation system displays the vehicle’s location incorrectly, fails to suggest the shortest route, or fails to
direct you to your desired destination. In such instances, rely on your own driving judgment, taking into account
the driving conditions at the time.
• Do not use the navigation system to locate emergency services. The database does not contain a complete
listing of emergency services such as police stations, fire halls, hospitals and walk-in clinics. Please show
discretion and ask for directions in such instances.
• As the driver, you alone are responsible for your driving safety.
• In order to avoid a traffic accident, do not operate the system while driving.
• In order to avoid a traffic accident, operate the system only when the vehicle is stopped at a safe place and
the parking brake is on.
• In order to avoid a traffic accident or traffic offense, remember that actual road conditions and traffic
regulations take precedence over the information contained on the navigation system.
• The software may contain inaccurate or incomplete information due to the passage of time, changing
circumstances, and the sources of information used. Please respect current traffic conditions and regulations
at all times while driving.
• Where actual road conditions and highway regulations differ from the information contained on the navigation
system, abide by the highway regulations.
• Keep the amount of time spent viewing the screen while driving to a strict minimum.
• The navigation system does not provide, nor represent in any way information on: traffic and highway
regulations; technical aspects of the vehicle including weight, height, width, load and speed limits; road
conditions including grade, percentage of incline and surface conditions; obstacles such as the height and width
of bridges and tunnels; and other current driving or road conditions. Always rely on your own judgment when
driving a car, taking into account current driving conditions.
• Do not disassemble or modify this unit. It may cause an accident, fire, or electric shock.
• Do not use this unit when a trouble exists, such as no screen content appears or no sound is audible. It may
cause an accident, fire, or electric shock. For that case, consult your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion
service center.
• In case of a problem, such as any material has been entered in the unit, the unit gets wet, or smoke or strange
smells come out of the unit, etc., stop using this unit immediately, and consult your authorized dealer or a
nearest Clarion service center.
Using it in that condition may cause an accident, fire, or electric shock.
• Use a fuse with the same specification only when replacing the fuse.
Using a fuse with a different specification may causes a fire.
• For the installation of this unit or a change in the installation, ask your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion
service center for safety. Professional skills and experiences are required to do so.

1 Warnings and Safety information
The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with a connected GPS receiver.
Clarion Mobile Map does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.
It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle,
we recommend that you operate Clarion Mobile Map before you start your journey. Plan the route before
your departure and stop if you need to change the route.
You must obey the traffic signs and follow the road geometry. If you deviate from the recommended route,
Clarion Mobile Map changes the instructions accordingly.
Never place NX501/NZ501 where it obstructs the driver's view, where it is in the deployment zone of an
airbag or where it might cause injuries in an accident.
For more information, consult the End User License Agreement (page 86).

When there is no GPS position, the Vehimarker is transparent. It shows your last known position.
You see colored dots circling around a satellite symbol in the top left corner. The more green dots you
see, the closer you are to get the valid GPS position.
When GPS position is available, the Vehimarker is displayed in full color, now showing your current
position.
There are screen buttons and data fields on the screen to help you navigate. During navigation, the
screen shows route information.
By default, only one data field is displayed in the bottom right corner. Tap this field to see all route data
fields.
Tap any of the data fields to suppress others and display only the selected one. The data fields are
different when you are navigating an active route and when you have no specified destination (the orange
line is not displayed).
Default data fields when cruising without a destination (tap and hold any of the fields to change its value):
Field Description
Shows your current speed given by the GPS receiver.
Shows the speed limit of the current road if the map contains it.
Shows the current time corrected with time zone offset. The accurate time
comes from the GPS satellites, and the time zone information comes from the
map or it can be set manually in Regional settings.
(The current time is always displayed in the top left corner of menu screens.)
Default data fields when navigating a route (tap and hold any of the fields to change its value):
Field Description
Shows the distance you need to travel on the route before reaching your final
destination.
Shows the time needed to reach the final destination of the route based on
information available for the remaining segments of the route.

information available for the remaining segments of the route.
The calculation cannot take into account traffic jams and other possible delays.
2.2.2 Position markers
2.2.2.1 Vehimarker and Lock-on-Road

When your GPS position is available, Clarion Mobile Map marks your current position with the Vehimarker.
By default, this marker is a red arrow, but you can change this icon in Settings.
The Vehimarker may not show your exact GPS position and heading. If roads are near, it is aligned to the
nearest road to suppress GPS position errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of
the road.
2.2.2.2 Selected map location (Cursor) and selected map object

You can mark a map location in the following ways:
x Tap the map when navigating,
x Tap the map when you are asked to confirm the destination at the end of a search, or
x Tap the map in Find on Map (page 51)
When a map location is selected, the Cursor appears at the selected point on the map. The Cursor is
displayed with a radiating red dot ( ) to make it visible at all zoom levels.
The location of the Cursor can be used as the destination of the route, a new alert point, you can search
for Places around it, or you can save this location as one of your Favorite destinations.
You can also select some of the objects on the map. If you tap the map at the icon of a Place of Interest
or an alert point, the object will be selected (you see a red circling border around the object), and you can
get information about this object or use it as a route point.
2.2.3 Objects on the map
2.2.3.1 Streets and roads

Clarion Mobile Map shows the streets in a way that is similar to how the paper road maps show them.
Their width and colors correspond to their importance: you can easily tell a freeway from a small street.
2.2.3.2 Turn preview and Next street

When navigating a route, the top section of the Map screen shows information about the next route event
(maneuver) and the next street or the next city.
There is a field in the top left corner that displays the next maneuver. Both the type of the event (turn,
traffic circle, exiting freeway, etc.) and its distance from the current position are displayed.
A smaller icon shows the type of the second next maneuver if it is near the first one. Otherwise, only the
next maneuver is displayed.
Most of these icons are very intuitive. The following table lists some of the frequently shown route events.
The same symbols are used in both fields:
Icon Description
Turn left.
Turn right.
Turn back.
Bear right.
Turn sharp left.
Keep left.
Continue straight in the intersection.
Go left on the traffic circle, 3rd exit (next maneuver).
Enter traffic circle (second next maneuver).
Enter freeway.
Exit freeway.
Board ferry.
Leave ferry.
Approaching a waypoint.
Approaching the destination.
2.2.3.3 Lane information and Signposts
When navigating on multilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the
recommended route. If lane information is available in the map data, Clarion Mobile Map displays the
lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the
lanes you need to take.
Where additional information is available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are displayed at the top
of the map. The color and style of the signposts are similar to the real ones you can see above road or by
the roadside. They show the available destinations and the number of the road the lane leads to.
All signposts look similar when cruising (when there is no recommended route). When navigating a route,
only the signpost that points to the lane(s) to be taken is displayed in vivid colors; all others are darker.
If you want to hide the currently displayed signposts, tap any of them and the normal Map screen returns
until new signpost information is received.
2.2.3.4 Junction view

If you are approaching a freeway 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.
Signposts can also be present if information is available.
If you want to hide the currently displayed junction, tap the picture and the Map screen returns.
2.2.3.5 3D object types

Clarion Mobile Map supports the following 3D object types:
Type Description
3D terrain 3D terrain map data shows changes in terrain, elevations or depressions in the land
when you view the map in 2D, and use it to plot the route map in 3D when you
navigate. Hills and mountains are shown in the background of the 3D map, and
illustrated by color and shading on the 2D map.
Elevated roads Complex intersections and vertically isolated roads (such as overpasses or bridges)
are displayed in 3D.
Type Description
3D landmarks Landmarks are 3D artistic or block representations of prominent or well-known
objects.
3D buildings 3D block representation of full city building data containing actual building size and
position on the map.
2.2.3.6 Elements of the active route

Clarion Mobile Map shows the route in the following way:
Symbol Name Description
Current GPS position and Start Your current position displayed on the map. If roads are
point near, it is aligned to the nearest road.
Normally if GPS position is available, the route starts
from the current position. If there is no valid GPS
position, Clarion Mobile Map uses the last known
position as the start point.
Waypoint (intermediate
An intermediate destination of the route before reaching
destination) the final destination.
Destination (end point) The final destination of the route.
Route color The route always stands out with its color on the map,
both in daytime and in night color mode.
Streets and roads that are You can choose whether you want to use or avoid
excluded from the navigation certain road types (page 77). However, when Clarion

faster.
x You can search for both the type and the name of a road. If the same word appears in several
names, for example in the name of streets, roads and avenues, you can obtain the result faster if
you enter the first letter of the street type: For example, enter 'PI A' to obtain Pine Avenue and skip
all Pine Streets and Pickwick Roads.

4 Reference Guide
On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu screens of Clarion
Mobile Map.
4.1 Concepts
4.1.1 Smart Zoom

Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature:
x While following a route: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view angle to let
you easily recognize your maneuver at the next junction. If the next turn is at a distance, it will
zoom out and lower the view angle to be flat so you can see the road in front of you.
x While driving without an active route: Smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly and zoom out
when you drive at high speed.
4.1.2 Daytime and night color themes

Clarion Mobile Map uses different color themes during the day and during the night for both the map and
the menu screens.
x Daytime colors are similar to paper road maps, and the menus are bright.
x The night color themes use dark colors for large objects to keep the average brightness of the
screen low.
Clarion Mobile Map offers different daytime and night color profiles. It can also switch automatically
between the daytime and the night schemes based on the current time and GPS position a few minutes
before sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset, before it becomes
dark.
4.1.3 Route calculation and recalculation

Clarion Mobile Map calculates the route based on your preferences:
x Route planning methods:
x : Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed limit on all
roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars.
x : Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes.
It can be practical for slow vehicles.
x : Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel consumption
data given in Green Routing settings (page 79). Travel cost and CO2 emission calculations
are estimations only. They cannot take elevations, curves and traffic conditions into account.
x : Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult maneuvers. With

this option, you can make Clarion Mobile Map to take, for example, the freeway instead of a
series of smaller roads or streets.
x Vehicle types:
x :
x Maneuver restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when
planning a route.
x Roads are used only if access for cars is allowed.
x Private roads and resident-only roads are used only if they are inevitable to reach the
destination.
x Walkways are excluded from routes.
x :
x All maneuvers are available in intersections.
x Directional constraints are taken into account the way that opposite direction is
allowed with a low speed.
x A private road is used only if the destination is there.
x :
planning a route.
x Roads are used only if access for buses is allowed.
x Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes.
x :

Clarion Mobile Map automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary.
For further information about Route settings, see page 77.
4.1.4 Green routing

Route calculation is not only about finding the quickest or shortest route. For some of the vehicle types,
you can also check the fuel consumption and CO2 emission when planning a route, and you can create
cost effective routes with less effect on the environment.
In Settings, select to enter the necessary parameters of your vehicle and the
average fuel price. You can also select whether you want to see the difference between your route and
the green route even if the selected routing method is not Green.
After the above parameters are set, select as route planning method to get a fast but
also fuel efficient route. Note that travel cost and CO2 emission calculations are estimations only. They
cannot take elevations, turns, curves and traffic conditions into account. Also, this routing is not meant to
give you the "greenest" route of all. It is still important to travel quickly so the result is a fast route with low
fuel consumption and CO2 emission.
With a vehicle type where green routing is selectable, whichever route planning method is selected, the
Green details are also shown when you confirm the route:
If the selected route planning method is not Green, and you have allowed the application to show the
green alternative, the price, fuel consumption and CO2 emission differences between your selected route
and the Green route are also shown on this screen:
Tap the field with these details to switch the route to Green immediately.
4.1.5 Road safety cameras and other proximity alert points

There is a special proximity warning for road safety cameras (like speed or red light cameras) and other
proximity alert points (like schools or railroad crossings). These alert points are preloaded in Clarion
Mobile Map. You can download more from clarion.naviextras.com or you can upload points in a specific
text file if needed.
You can also add your own alert points or edit the preloaded or uploaded points. See page 67 for details.
The application can warn you when you approach road safety cameras like speed cameras or dangerous
areas like school zones or railroad crossings. You can set up the different alert types individually in Sound
and Warning settings (page 76).
The following alert types are available:
x Audio warning: beeps or the spoken type of the alert can be played while you are approaching one
of these points, or extra alert sounds if you exceed the given speed limit while approaching.
x Visual warning: the type of the alert point, its distance and the related speed limit appear on the
Map screen while you are approaching one of these cameras. The distance from the camera is
also displayed.
For some of the alert points, the enforced or expected speed limit is available. For these points, the audio
alert can be different if you are below or above the given speed limit.
x Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you exceed the given speed limit.
x When approaching: The audio alert is always played. In order to draw your attention, the alert can
be different if you exceed the speed limit.
Note! The warning for road safety cameras is disabled when the GPS position is not yet
available or if you are in certain countries where road safety camera warning is prohibited.
4.1.6 Speed limit warning

Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. Clarion Mobile Map is able to
warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not be available for your region (ask your
local dealer), or may not be fully correct for all roads in the map. Speed warning can be fine-tuned in
Sound and Warning settings (page 76).
You can set the relative speed above which the application initiates the warning.
x Audio warning: you receive a verbal warning when you exceed the speed limit with the given
percentage.
x Visual warning: the current speed limit is shown on the map when you exceed it (for example:
).
You can also choose to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time.

building data containing actual building size and position on the map.
Turn on or off track log saving, that is, saving the sequence of the locations your
journeys go through.
Select which Places to show on the map while navigating. Too many Places
make the map crowded so it is a good idea too keep as few of them on the map
as possible. For this, you have the possibility to save different Place visibility sets.
You have the following possibilities:
x Tap the checkbox to show or hide the Place category.
x Tap the name of the Place category to open the list of its subcategories.
x Tap to save the current Place visibility set or to load a

previously saved one. Here you can also revert to the default visibility
settings.
4.3.6 Visual guidance settings

Settings related to guidance on the map screen can be adjusted here.
The data fields in the corner of the Map screen can be customized. Tap this
button and select the values you want to see. The values can be different when
you navigate a route from when you are just cruising without a given destination.
You can select general trip data like your current speed or the altitude, or route
data related to your final destination or the next waypoint on your route.
Whenever adequate information is available, lane information similar to the real

ones on road signs above the road is displayed at the top of the map. You can
turn this feature on or off.
If you are approaching a freeway exit or a complex intersection and the needed
information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. You can
turn this feature on or let the map be displayed for the whole route.
Turn on the route progress bar to see your route as a straight line on the left side
of the map. The red arrow represents your current position and moves up as you
travel. Waypoints and Traffic events are also displayed on the line.
4.3.7 Display settings

Display related settings include menu animations, separate skins for daytime and night use and the
brightness of the display.
When animation is turned on, buttons on menus and keyboard screens appear in
an animated way. Screen transitions are also animated.
4.3.8 Regional settings

These settings allow you to customize the application for your local language, measurement units, time
and date settings and formats, as well as to choose the time zone.
Button Description
This button displays the current written language of the user interface. By tapping
the button, you can select a new language from the list of available languages.
The application will restart if you change this setting; you are asked to confirm
this.
You can set the distance units to be used by the program. Clarion Mobile Map
may not support all the listed units in some voice guidance languages.
Select between 12 and 24 hours time display and the various international date
display formats.
By default, time zone is taken from the map information and adjusted by your
current location. Here you can set time zone and daylight saving manually.
4.3.9 Trip monitor settings

Trip logs contain useful information about your trips. Trip logs can be saved manually when you reach
your destination or you can turn on the automatic saving here. You can access these logs in the Trip
monitor. Trip monitor is available from the More menu.
Trip monitor can record statistical data of your trips. If you need these logs later,
you can let the application save them automatically for you.
This is not a button. This line shows the current size of the trip database, the sum
of all trip and track logs saved.
Track logs, the sequence of the positions given by the GPS receiver, can be
saved together with trip logs. They can later be displayed on the map. You can let
the application save the track log whenever it saves a trip.
5 Glossary
2D/3D GPS reception

The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and needs at least four signals to
give a three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are moving and because
objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four signals. If three satellites are
available, the receiver can calculate the horizontal GPS position but the accuracy is lower and the GPS
device does not give you elevation data: only 2D reception is possible.
Active route
The currently navigated route. Whenever the destination is set, the route is active until you delete it, reach
your destination or you quit Clarion Mobile Map. See also: Route.
City Center
The city center is not the geometric center of the city but an arbitrary point the map creators have chosen.
In towns and villages, it is usually the most important intersection; in larger cities, it is one of the important
intersections.
Color theme
Clarion Mobile Map comes with different color themes for daytime or night use of the map and menu
screens. Themes are custom graphic settings and they can have different colors for streets, blocks or
surface waters in 2D and 3D modes, and they display shades or shadows in different ways in 3D mode.
One daytime scheme and one night scheme is always selected for the map and for the menus. Clarion
Mobile Map uses them when it switches from day to night and back.
GPS accuracy
Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position and the one given by the GPS
device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting objects near the GPS device have a
different and varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can calculate your position.
Map
Clarion Mobile Map works with digital maps which are not simply the computerized versions of traditional
paper maps. Similarly to the paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps show you streets, roads, and
elevation is also shown by colors.
In 3D mode, you can see the altitude differences, for example valleys and mountains, elevated roads, and
in selected cities 3D landmarks and 3D buildings are also displayed.
You can use digital maps interactively: you can zoom in and out (increase or decrease the scale), you
can tilt them up and down, and rotate them left and right. In GPS-supported navigation, digital maps
facilitate route planning.
Road Safety Camera

Special alert points for speed, red light or bus lane cameras. Different data sources are available. You
can configure Clarion Mobile Map to warn you when you approach one of these cameras.
Detecting the location of Road Safety Cameras is prohibited in certain countries. It is the sole
responsibility of the driver to check whether this feature can be used during the trip.
The software is capable of showing and warning for more than just cameras. Various other types of
proximity alert points like school zones and railroad crossings are also available.
Route
A sequence of route events, i.e. maneuvers (for example, turns and traffic circles) to reach the destination.
The route contains one start point and one or more destinations. The start point is the current (or last
known) position by default. If you need to see a future route, the start point can be replaced with any
other given point.
Track-up map orientation

In Track-up mode the map is rotated so its top always points in the current driving direction. This is the
default orientation in 3D map view mode.
Vehimarker
The current position is shown with a red arrow on the map by default. The direction of the red arrow
shows the current heading. This position marker can be replaced with different vehicle and pedestrian
symbols. You can even specify different Vehimarkers for different route types (depending on which
vehicle type is selected for route calculation).
