5.1.4 Route calculation and recalculation Clarion Mobile Map calculates the route based on your preferences: • • Route planning methods: • : 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. • : Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes. It can be practical for slow vehicles. • : Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel consumption data given in Route settings (page 88).
• Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes. • • : • Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route. • Roads are used only if access for taxis is allowed. • Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes. Road types used or avoided in route calculation: • • • • • Real-time Traffic events are also taken into account and sometimes greatly modify the route.

• : • Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route. • Roads are used only if access for cars is allowed. • Private roads and resident-only roads are used only they are inevitable to reach the destination. • Walkways are excluded from routes. • : • All manoeuvres are available in intersections. • Directional constraints are taken into account the way that opposite direction is allowed with a low speed.
For vehicle types where Green routing is not available, this method combines the benefits of Fast and Short: Clarion Mobile Map calculates as if it were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads as well to save fuel. Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult manoeuvres. With this option, you can make Clarion Mobile Map to take, for example, the motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets. 5.3.
Button Description Switch the map view between a 3D perspective view, a 2D heading-up view and a 2D north-up view. Adjust the basic zoom and tilt levels to your needs. Three levels are available.

5.3.7 Visual guidance settings Adjust how the software helps you navigate with different kinds of route related information on the Map screen. The data fields in the corner of the Map screen can be customised. 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.
Similar to the above possibility, alternative routes can be suggested when driving on normal roads. Clarion Mobile Mapwill select a different turn in the upcoming intersection and offers you a different route for the next section of the route. Your options are the similar as above but you cannot modify the offered detour. Parking at the destination may not be easy in city areas. As you approach the destination, Clarion Mobile Map can offer parking category Places near your destination.
5.3.10 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.
6 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.
North-up map orientation In North-up mode the map is rotated so its top always faces North. This is the orientation for example in Find on Map. 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.
