1 Warnings and safety information Clarion is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected destination. It will determine your exact location with the help of an attached GPS device. The position information obtained from the GPS receiver will not be transmitted anywhere, so others will not be able to track you by the help of this program. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate Clarion before beginning your journey.
2 General information Clarion is a navigation system optimised for in-car use. It provides door-to-door navigation for both single and multi-point routes using adaptable route parameters. Clarion is capable of planning routes throughout the whole installed map set. Unlike some other products, Clarion does not require that you change maps or switch to a poorly detailed general map to navigate between map segments or countries. You always have complete freedom to go wherever you wish.
3 Operating Clarion (Controls) Clarion is designed for easy operation. All controls are operable by fingertips. Wherever possible, pushbuttons and lists are provided to make accessing functions or changing settings as easy as possible. 3.1 Hardware buttons There are only a few hardware buttons on your Map 670/770. The majority of the Clarion functions can be accessed using the touch screen. The hardware buttons are the following: 3.1.
3.2 Screen buttons and controls The primary input channel of Clarion is the touch screen. If you read on, you will realise that most parts of the screen are not only used to display information but also to initiate functions by tapping. Below you will find a list of the most frequently used controls in the program. 3.2.1 Direct selectors Some of the settings can be chosen from a short list of possible values. If the values can be described graphically, all values are available on the screen.
jumps there immediately). As with the list selectors, there is no need to confirm your selection. As soon as you leave the screen, the selected value becomes effective. 3.2.4 Switches When a function can only have two values (mainly Enabled and Disabled), a switch is used. Unlike with list selectors, the horizontal line contains the name of the function and not the actual status. There is a lamp on the left to show whether the function is active or not. , the function is not selected.
3.2.7 Virtual keyboards Clarion is designed in a way that you only need to enter letters or numbers when it is inevitable. In these cases a full screen keyboard pops up that can easily be operated with your fingertips. You can choose between a separate ABC and numeric keypad, or a set of QWERTY-type keyboards that contain both letters and numbers. Clarion will remember your last choice and offer it the next time you need to enter data.
The special keys described in the previous section are also available here. 3.2.7.3 The numeric keyboard The numeric keyboard only contains numbers, on huge buttons. The special keys you find on the other keyboards (except Space) are available here as well. Although QWERTY-type keyboards also contain number keys, when entering a house number, the program offers the more convenient numeric keypad.
4 Discovering the program through the screens The best way to discover Clarion is to explore each screen in detail, and to find out how to move from one to another. Read this chapter for a guided tour. 4.1 Main menu (Navigation Menu) Clarion starts by displaying the Main menu. This is the root of the screen hierarchy, but you need to return here very rarely while using the program.
No. Content 9 Button to open About screen 10 Button to exit Clarion (navigation stops) 4.2 About screen Tap About on the Main menu screen to open this screen. The About screen is not used in normal navigation. It is there to inform you about the map licenses you have, the creators of Clarion and the legal aspects of using the program. 4.3 The map The most important and most frequently used screens of Clarion are the two screens with the map (Map screen and Cockpit screen).
It is easy to change between 2D and 3D modes. You have two options. You can use the Tilt up and down buttons (Page 31) to tilt the map seamlessly between 2D and all 3D angles, or you can use the switch in the Quick menu (Page 43) to quickly switch between the two modes. Note: You may find that 2D mode is more useful in North-up Map mode when looking for a certain part of the map or an object to select as destination.
Changing the scale of the map is very easy. You can drag and stretch the scale (Page 32) at the bottom of the Map screen, or use the zoom icons (Page 31) on both Map and Cockpit screens. Note: If you need to zoom out briefly to locate your position on the map, use the Overview mode instead of zooming out and back in. The Overview mode is a 2D North-up view that can be started by tapping the compass button on the right (Page 33).
Tip: To further enhance the effect of the night colour scheme, you can instruct Clarion to decrease the display backlight when the night colours are used. Set the desired backlight levels for both daylight and night modes. Page 73. Note: The colours mentioned and screenshots included in this manual refer to the default daytime and night colour schemes. They may not look the same in the schemes you have chosen.
Note: The automatic switching is on even when using Smart Zoom. At first you may find it odd, but later you will discover how it adjusts the displayed information to the current view of the map. It is important, as the driver must be able to read the map at a glance. Tip: If you do not want to be bothered by street names during navigation, turn them off in Map Options (Page 66). Tip: Major roads usually have alternative names (numbering) besides the primary name.
road where you drive (e.g. on the right in Germany and on the left in the U.K.) on two-way roads. The location received from the GPS receiver is shown as a blue dot on the map. This can help you locate your position if the GPS accuracy is poor, and the Lock-on-Road system puts you on the wrong street. It is also the location saved in the track log (Page 48). Note: The Lock-on-Road feature can be turned off in Advanced settings (Page 77) for pedestrian use.
The colour of the Pin is automatically selected by Clarion. Different colours help you identify a Pin in the History list (Page 85) later. There they are shown together with their address and GPS Coordinates. Tip: A quick way to tell the coordinates of a location you found on the map is to Pin it, and then look for the coordinates in the History list (Page 85).This way you also save the coordinates with the Pin for later reference.
If two points are too close to each other so that icons overlap, a multi-POI icon is shown instead of individual ones. Zoom in more to see them separately. (Should the two POIs have the same icon, this icon will be displayed instead of the multi-POI icon.) Note: When navigating, POI icons can be disabled together with street names (Page 66). If you still need this information during your journey, just drag the map to disable Lock-to-Position (Page 32).
4.3.11.2 Animated turn guidance Animated arrows represent all route events other than the above-mentioned special points. These arrows show the direction in which you need to continue your journey. 4.3.11.3 The active leg of the route The active leg is the section of the route you are currently driving. If you have not added any Via points, the whole route will be the active leg. When Via points are present, the active leg is the part leading from your location to the next via point.
4.3.11.5 Roads in the route excluded by your preferences Although you can choose whether to include or avoid some road types in Route parameter settings (Page 69), sometimes they are impossible to avoid near the starting point, via points or the destination. If so, Clarion will display those segments of the route with an alternate colour. 4.4 GPS Data screen Tap the GPS button at the list of TMC messages screen to open this window.
Note: Accuracy can be affected by several factors the GPS cannot take into account. Use this accuracy information only as estimation. There are two icons on the left to show the status of the GPS connection and the quality of reception. 4.4.2 GPS connection indicator In the middle to the left there is a lamp similar to the ones used for switches.
Turn on the Auto Correction switch to let Clarion frequently check and correct the PNA time with the GPS time. Below that button you will see the current values of the GPS and the PNA clocks. You can check here whether any correction is needed. Tap the button to manually synchronize the time. Below the PNA time you have hour and minute controls to manually correct the time with or without a valid GPS time.
Cockpit screen contents: No.
No.
4.5.2 Zoom in and out (No. 2 & 3) These semi-transparent buttons are only displayed if "Zoom & Tilt" is enabled in the Quick menu (Page 44). Zoom will change the scale of the map. Zoom out shows a larger part of the map, while Zoom in shows a smaller part of the map in more detail.
4.5.4 Follow mode - lock to GPS position and heading (No. 6) This semi-transparent icon is displayed if GPS position is available, and the map has been moved. It also appears when you scale or tilt the map while Smart Zoom is enabled. This semi-transparent icon is displayed if GPS position is available, and the map has been moved or rotated. It also appears when you scale or tilt the map while Smart Zoom is enabled.
You can use it in both 2D and 3D modes to scale the map. Drag and pull it right to zoom in, or left to zoom out. 4.5.7 Menu (No. 9) This button opens the Menu with the Find engine, the Quick menu, the Route menu and the exit button that takes you to the Main menu screen. The Menu will be described in detail later: Page 43. 4.5.8 Map orientation and Overview (No. 10) You can view the map screens in three different presentation modes. This switch will cycle through them in the following order.
Tap the icon again to return to Track-up (automatic rotation) mode. 4.5.9 GPS position quality (No. 11) Similarly to the icon found on the GPS Data screen (Page 27), the map screens also inform you about the GPS signal: • The black satellite dish with the red exclamation mark shows there is no connection with the GPS receiver. GPS navigation is not possible. Devices with a built-in GPS receiver are permanently connected, so this icon may not appear under normal circumstances.
4.5.11 Sound muting (No. 13) This icon displays the enabled or disabled status of the voice guidance and the key sounds. When muting is enabled, the speaker icon is crossed out. When sounds are enabled the red cross disappears. Tap this button to open Sound settings (Page 66). Note: Sound can be muted in Sound settings (Page 66), using the Master switch. 4.5.12 Track Log recording/playback indicator (No. 14) When a track log is being recorded, a red icon is displayed on the map screens.
Tip: If you want to see the map around the Cursor, close the Cursor menu and reopen it. When this menu is opened manually, the map is always moved to have the cursor in the centre. The content of the Cursor menu depends on the screen (Map or Cockpit) and it is slightly different if there is an active route already planned. You have the following options: • Start: use the Cursor as the departure point for your route. This menu point is available only in Map mode and when there is no active route.
camera if you tap Add Cam, and set the parameters (type, direction, and speed). If a camera already exists near the cursor, this button is inactive, and you can change the parameters of the camera by tapping it in the list. 4.5.14 Current street (No. 16) This field of the Cockpit screen shows the name or number (as available) of the current street or road you are driving on. Tip: Some roads have an alternative name (or number). This is normally shown together with the primary name in this field.
• Arrival at next via point • Arrival at destination (default value for the right field) 4.5.16 Distance to next turn (No. 18) This field shows the distance to go before reaching the next route event (turn, roundabout, exit, etc.) This field is only displayed when navigating a route. 4.5.17 Next street / Next settlement (No. 19) This field shows the road or street that comes next in the route itinerary.
4.5.20 Bluetooth or Phone call status (No. 22) When Bluetooth is turned off, a grey Bluetooth icon is displayed here. Tap the icon to turn on the Bluetooth radio. When Bluetooth is on, the icon turns blue. If you tap the icon when it is blue, Clarion pauses, and the Phone dialer screen of the device appears. To return to Clarion and continue navigating, first tap the button in the top right corner, then on the new screen tap the Exit button in the bottom right corner.
4.6.1 Route data displayed (for destination and via points) In the top section of the screen you see information about the current route. These fields are continuously updated while you keep this screen open. When you open the screen, all fields contain information on reaching your final destination. Tap any of the fields to see data on the via points starting from the first one through the final destination again. 4.6.1.
If via points exist, tap and tap again any of the fields to see the distance to reach the first, second, etc. via point. 4.6.1.3 Method This field shows how the route was calculated. It either displays the ‘Route’ or the ‘Vehicle’ field from the Route parameter settings. If you have chosen Car, Taxi, Bus or Lorry, the type of the route (Fastest, Shortest or Economical) will be displayed here; if you have selected Emergency, Bicycle or Pedestrian, this information will be displayed here. 4.6.1.
• This icon shows that you need to pay toll on the recommended route. • This icon shows that the route contains motorways. Tap the icon to see the total length of the motorways in the recommended route. • This icon shows that toll roads are included in the recommended route. • This icon shows that you need to board a ferry along the recommended route. • This icon shows that you need to pay for the ferry.
4.6.4 Parameters This button opens the Route parameter settings screen (Page 68) otherwise opened from the Route menu (Page 50). 4.7 Menu The Menu button can be found in the bottom left corner of the map screens. Tapping this button brings up a menu that allows you to access some of the most frequently used functions of Clarion. 4.7.1 Find tab The first page of the Menu is Find. It lets you select a destination without first having to locate it on the map.
Note: When you reach 2D view by tilting the map, Smart Zoom will tilt the map as you press the Follow button or it disappears after the timeout (set in Advanced settings) expires. Use the 3D Map toggle to permanently switch to 2D view. Note: If the map is zoomed out so that the view angle is automatically raised to a top down view, this button will have no immediate effect. When you zoom back in, the view angle will or will not change according to the new state of the button. 4.7.2.
4.7.2.4 Manage POI (Points of Interest) Here you can set all the parameters of POIs that you have created and the visibility of the built-in POIs that come with the map. Manage built-in POI visibility The maps in Clarion come with a huge number of POIs. Displaying all of them would make the maps too crowded (to see how POI items are shown on the map see Page 23). In order to avoid that, you can decide which POI groups to show and which ones to hide on the map. Clarion has a multi-level POI category system.
Note: The group Unnamed only appears if you have previously saved a POI item without creating a new POI group for it. Tapping any of the group names will open a list of POIs saved in that group. This list is similar to the list of POI results in Find. The POIs are ordered based on their distance from your current position. If GPS position is not available or you have disabled Lock-to-Position by tapping the map, the POIs will be ordered by their distance from the Cursor.
• Left/right arrows: if your groups fill several pages, these buttons will let you browse through them. The green field left of these buttons shows the current page number and the number of pages. When the list of My POIs is displayed, you have the following options: • Search: you can shorten the list of matching POI items by filtering. Just like in Find, enter a few letters of the desired POI name. When the number of matching items can fit in one page, Clarion will automatically display the list.
Tip: Tapping one of the blue Information icons behind the POI names shows the details of the appropriate POI item. 4.7.2.6 Manage Track Logs Using Clarion it is also possible to save the track logs of your journeys. This screen lets you manage all your track logs. When it comes up, it shows a list of all track logs already saved. The original name of a track log is the date and time when it was recorded. You can change their name to something more meaningful if you wish.
Tip: If you wish to see the track log currently being recorded, tap on it twice to make it visible. In this screen you have the following options: • Record: this will initiate track log recording. A new line appears in the list, and GPS position data will be saved until you stop the recording or exit Clarion. A red icon (Page 35) is shown on the map screens to let you know that a recording is in progress. Tapping that icon opens this Track Log screen.
• Maximum track database size: here you can set the maximum database size if the track database size limit is enabled using the previous switch. • Create NMEA/SIRF log: independently of the normal track log, you can instruct Clarion to record the native GPS data received from the GPS device. Clarion is capable of working with GPS devices using either the NMEA or the SiRF protocol, so the saved data will be in one of these formats.
recalculation is disabled. However you may consider using it when you travel on a road parallel to that recommended by the route. In this case Clarion may not recalculate the route for some time, but you can force recalculation here. This is also the button you will most frequently use when the window appears automatically, provided that the manual route recalculation is set (Page 65).
This function has a special role if you have used the Avoid feature during your journey. When you arrive at your destination, the route line disappears on the map and navigation stops. The route is now practically deleted, but if you plan a new route, the roads, manoeuvres and areas excluded from your route will also be avoided when planning the new route. Tap Delete to completely delete your previous route together with its Avoid restrictions.
Tap this button to show a list of possibilities for modifying the route. They let you recalculate the route avoiding the highlighted event and sometimes also some of the subsequent ones. • Manoeuvre: this option avoids the highlighted action. For example if you find a turn too difficult during rush hour traffic, Clarion will recalculate the route excluding that turn.
4.7.3.5 Edit Tap Edit to see the list of all points used in the route. The first item in the list is the departure point of the route without a valid GPS position, the last reached via point if you open the list during navigation, or the point where Clarion most recently recalculated the route. This means the list is permanently updated, and via points drop out during the journey. The last item in the list is your final destination.
4.7.4 Main button The Main button at the bottom right corner leads to the Main menu screen described here: Page 16. 4.8 TMC (Traffic Message Channel) Clarion can provide you with even better routes if Traffic Message Channel (TMC) information is available. The TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information. Note: TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your country or region.
4.8.2 TMC control centre This screen shows the selected TMC source and allows you to change the TMC settings. 4.8.2.1 Selected FM radio station The name and frequency of the selected radio station will appear at the top of this window, together with signal strength information indicated by a bar similar to the GPS satellite signal strength bars on the GPS Data screen. If there aren’t any radio stations broadcasting TMC data in your area, the receiver keeps on searching.
4.8.2.6 Recalculate to avoid traffic This setting is similar to the previous one. Disabling it will not prevent the system from using TMC data for route planning, but will not trigger an automatic recalculation when the traffic conditions change during your journey. 4.9 Road safety cameras Road safety cameras, such as speed cameras and red light cameras are special POI types in Clarion. The application can warn you when you approach one of these cameras.
4.9.1.2 Mobile cameras Some cameras are operated from vehicles. The database contains some typical places of these mobile cameras. They are not always operational at the given location, and the speed limit is not specified for them. The warning is similar to fixed cameras, but as there is no speed limit given, only the proximity is announced. These cameras are displayed with the following symbol: 4.9.1.3 Built-in cameras Some cameras are built in traffic lights.
Note: In the rare case Clarion cannot register the moment you pass the second camera (e.g. it is placed at the exit of a tunnel where GPS position is not yet available) the warning will continue. Just tap the camera symbol displayed on the screen to stop the warning. These cameras are displayed with the following symbol: 4.9.1.5 Red light cameras These cameras check if you obey traffic lights or not.
4.9.4 Add a new camera or edit an existing one You can add new cameras, modify the parameters of existing ones, or delete them. Select a point on the map, then use the POI button in the Cursor menu (Page 35). This will open the list of POIs around the selected map point. To add a new camera, use the Add Cam button, and set its parameters. To edit an existing camera, find it at the end of the POI list, and tap it. A new screen will open with its details.
5 Settings Clarion provides several settings in order to let you customise the functions of the program. The Settings screen can be accessed directly from the Main menu screen (Page 16) and from the map screens by using the battery icon (Page 34), while some of its sub-screens are accessible from other parts of the program. 5.1 General settings These are the basic settings of Clarion. 5.1.1 Safety Mode Safety mode will disable the touch-screen above 10 km/h (6 mph) to keep your attention on the road.
5.1.2 Set Favourite Destinations You can select two of your most frequent destinations to be your favourites (Page 89). You can start navigating to either of them by only two taps on the screen. The original names of these points are Home and Work. You can rename them and specify their locations.
5.1.5 Warn When Speeding Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. Clarion is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not be available for your region (ask your Clarion dealer) or may not be fully correct for all roads in the map. This setting lets you decide whether you want to receive the warnings or not.
Speed limit Warning at 40 km/h 50 km/h (=40 km/h + 10 km/h) 60 km/h 70 km/h (=60 km/h + 10 km/h) 90 km/h 100 km/h (=90 km/h + 10 km/h) 100 km/h 105 km/h (=100 km/h + 5%) 120 km/h 126 km/h (=120 km/h + 5%) 160 km/h 168 km/h (=160 km/h + 5%) 5.1.6 Enable Safety Cameras Clarion can warn you when you approach known speed and red light cameras previously uploaded or copied into the device, or saved manually in the software.
5.1.7.1 Automatic The route will be recalculated automatically a few seconds after you go astray. 5.1.7.2 Ask First Clarion can also ask your preference each time you leave the planned route. The route will not be recalculated until you make your choice from the menu that automatically appears (also explained here: Page 41). Your options are: • Recalculate: Clarion will recalculate the route with the previous settings. The result is the same as if Automatic recalculation was selected.
5.2.1 Daylight / Night colour profile Clarion comes with different colour schemes for both daylight and night use. There is always one selected daytime scheme and one selected night-time scheme. Clarion uses these when switching from day to night and back. Tap the appropriate button and select a new scheme from the list. 5.2.2 Alternative Road Names Some highways have an international name or number for foreign travellers. You can decide whether to show only the local name or both. 5.2.
5.3.1 Master sound volume/switch The loudness of Clarion is independent of your PNA settings. When you run Clarion, the position of this fader determines the device volume level. When you exit the program, the device settings return. The left part of this control works as a mute button. Tap to mute all Clarion sounds. 5.3.2 Voice guidance volume/switch The switch on the left can turn on or mute Clarion's audible guidance. When turned on, the slider on the right will adjust the loudness of voice prompts.
5.3.5 Attention Tone If this is set to Disabled, the voice guidance will sound without a preceding attention tone. Setting it to Single Tone will initiate a single attention tone before the voice instructions. Setting it to Trigger Tone will initiate a trigger tone 1,5 seconds before the voice instructions. This trigger tone can be used to mute a car radio and to output the instructions via the speakers of the car radio.
5.4.2.2 Fast Choosing Fast will result in the quickest possible route, given that you can travel at or near the speed limits on all included roads. This is usually preferred for fast and normal cars. 5.4.2.3 Economical This setting is a wise combination of the previous two. Although basically going for the fastest solution, if there is another route taking a bit more time but a lot less distance compared to the fastest one, Clarion will choose this one instead to save fuel. 5.4.
Note: Excluding a route is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some of the excluded road types, Clarion will use them but only as much as necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on the Route Information screen (Page 39), and the road not matching your preference will be displayed in alternate colour on the map. 5.4.4.
Note: You have a few more ways to influence routing and route recalculation in Advanced settings Route options (Page 76). 5.5 Language & Units Here you can set the languages, measurement units, and date and time formats used by Clarion. 5.5.1 Program language This button displays the current written language of the program. By tapping the button you can select from a list of available languages. Clarion will have to be restarted if you change this setting.
5.6 Advanced settings These screens let you set a large number of different advanced settings and initiate some special functions. These settings and functions are divided into groups. Tap on any button to set the corresponding parameters. They all open new windows where you can make your desired changes. 5.6.1 Display options These settings determine how Clarion displays different content elements or how it presents the screens. 5.6.1.
5.6.1.2 3D in Cockpit mode (and track-up orientation) The normal use of the Cockpit mode is cruising or navigating, when the road lying in front of the driver is the most important part of the map. It is usually done in a 3D view with the current direction towards the top of the map. By default Clarion uses the same look of the map in both Map and Cockpit modes. Use this switch to instruct Clarion to always open the Cockpit mode in 3D with Trackup orientation (automatic map rotation) for driving purposes.
5.6.2.1 Power management At the top of the screen you can set how the backlight will behave when the screen has not been touched for a while. Backlight always on You can choose to have the lights always on. Smart powersave You can also initiate this special feature of Clarion. When running on battery Smart Powersave will light up the screen only when you press or tap a button, or if Clarion has something to show you.
5.6.3.1 Smart Zoom settings You can set how close Smart Zoom can zoom in when approaching the next turn (Zoom-in limit), and the maximum zoom level to zoom out when the next turn is further away (Zoom-out limit). The default values are set to be optimal in most cases. 5.6.3.2 Enable Overview mode You can configure how the Overview mode is triggered when the next turn is at a distance. The Route event distance will determine when Clarion switches to the Overview or back to the Navigation view.
Restore Lock-to-Position Turn this switch on if you want Clarion to return to your current GPS position after you have moved the map during navigation. This is useful if you have moved the map accidentally, or if you have moved it to quickly check something near your route. After a certain timeout set below, the Follow button disappears, and the map immediately jumps back to show your current position.
5.6.4.1 U-turn penalty You can fine-tune the way Clarion takes U-turns into account when planning a route. You can tell Clarion how much extra distance you would travel to avoid a U-turn. Note: This value is taken into account only if U-turns are enabled in Route Parameters (Page 70). 5.6.4.2 Cross-border planning By default Clarion plans routes using the border crossing points. However, if you live near the border, you can disable border crossing with this switch to remain within one country. 5.6.4.
Tip: If you wish to keep more versions of the user database, or you wish to save one particular state (e.g. saved POIs and track logs of your holiday), look for the backup file on the memory card, rename it, or save it to your PC. Tip: If you move to another PNA, and you wish to keep your data and settings, make a backup, remove the card, insert it into the other PNA, then return to this Settings page, and push the Restore Data button as described in the next section.
6 Find One of the most frequently used functions of Clarion is selecting the destination. Once you have the destination, you can start navigating. Getting to this point should be as fast as possible. Clarion provides you with a versatile search engine designed to find your chosen destination after only a few taps on the screen.
Tip: If you want the selected point shown in the centre of the map, close and reopen the menu or wait until it closes and open it again. By opening the Cursor menu manually, the map will be moved to have the selected location in the centre. 6.3 Using the Main menu The Main menu is accessible by the Destination button at the Main menu (Page 16) or by the Menu buttons of the map screens (Page 33). The Main menu gives you various possibilities for selecting a location. 6.3.
Should the settlement you are looking for appear on the list, just tap it and you will immediately jump to the Street Name Input screen with the selected city name or postcode shown at the top of the screen. If the desired settlement is not displayed, use the arrows in the bottom right corner to see more of this list. Tip: If during navigation you need to know the name of the city or the country you are currently in, just start Find/Address and read the first line of the list.
characters in the pattern. For example Bad Sauerbrunn in Germany will be found if you enter ‘Ba S’ or even ‘Sa B’ (any word order will do). You do not need to enter accents when searching for a destination. Type only the base letters (the letter most similar to the accented one) and Clarion will search for all their combinations in the database (e.g. for the French town ‘Déléage’ you only need to type ‘Deleage’, and the rest is done by the program).
Once you have selected the city, you can continue by entering the street name. If your destination is in another country, tap the Change Country button in the top right corner of the city selection screen, and select the country from the list. 6.3.1.2 Selecting a street or the centre of the settlement Once the settlement is selected, you can continue by specifying the street you are looking for.
Tip: If you are looking for an intersection, choose the street that has a rare or unusual name first. This way you need to enter fewer letters to get the list of results. You may also choose the shorter of the two streets first. This way it will be faster to choose the second one from the list of crossing streets after the first street has been selected. Tip: You can search for both the type and the name of a road.
6.3.1.4 How to select an intersection instead of a house number If you do not know the house number or it is easier to pinpoint the location with an intersection, press the Find intersection button in the top right corner and select the desired street name from the list of available intersections of the previously selected street (displayed in the top centre of the screen). The crossing of the two streets will be the selected point. 6.3.1.
Just pick any of the recent locations as your destination. Here you have no possibility to reorder the list or filter it by name, but the Next and Previous buttons let you browse through the complete list to find your preferred point. Tip: If you will need a location later but you do not want to save it as a POI, just mark it with a pin, and remember its colour to find it easily in the History list. 6.3.3 Find Coordinates Clarion also lets you enter your destination by map coordinates.
Tip: The quickest way to tell the coordinates of a point is to select it by tapping on the map or by using Find, and then come to this page and read the coordinates. Tip: If you need to reformat coordinates to the format selected in Clarion (Page 73), enter the coordinates in the format you have, press Done to show it in the map, then come back here to see the same location in the chosen coordinate display format. 6.3.
• Destination: the search will be carried out around the destination of your current route. The current selection is always shown in the green field at the top of the page. Note: The default reference point for POI search is the current GPS position, if it is available, or the Cursor, when there is no reliable GPS position.
Tip: If you want to find the nearest POIs, or if you are close to one of them but do not know exactly where it is or what its name is, tap the All button on the very first screen of POI search, and get a list of the nearest POIs. Use the Next button in the bottom right corner to turn the page if you cannot see the desired place on the first page of the list.
7 Troubleshooting guide Thank you again for purchasing our product. We hope you will enjoy every minute of using it. However you may face difficulties before you get really accustomed to Clarion. In such cases, please, refer to this table of frequently encountered problematic situations. I cannot find the blue (yellow when using night colours) arrow that would show my location. Navigation does not start.
Creating a multi-point route I have tapped the ‘Route To’ button once for each destination but only the last one appears in the list, all previous points have disappeared. The ‘Route To’ button is for starting a new route only. For a single route you tap this when the destination is selected. Multi-point routes can be created after you have established a single route. Add points to the single route by using the ‘Add Via’ and ‘Add Dest’ buttons. Applying ‘Route To’ again will delete the whole route.
8 Glossary The manual may contain many technical terms. Please look below for an explanation if you are unfamiliar with some of them. 2D/3D GPS reception: The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position. Depending on the current positions of the ever moving satellites in the sky, and the objects in your environment, the signal that your GPS device receives may be weaker or stronger.
Automatic day/night colours: Based on the time and position given by the GPS device, Clarion is able to calculate when the sun rises and sets at your current location on this particular day. Using that information Clarion can change between the day and the night colour schemes a few minutes before sunrise and a few minutes after sunset (Page 62).
Follow button appears on the screen. Tapping it will re-enable Lock-to-Position. See also Page 32. Map Orientation: Clarion is able to rotate the map for your convenience. If you choose Track-up mode, the map will be rotated to look in the direction of your heading. Selecting North-up, the map remains oriented to have North toward the top. Use the left and right hardware buttons to turn your map in the direction you wish. This will immediately turn off the automatic rotation.
