Glossary Route The route is an ordered arrangement of the route events (the next change in the route - right or left turns, roundabouts, and so on), presenting them as they occur until you reach your destination. If there is one starting point, there must be at least one destination. On startup, the start point is the current position (or the last confirmed position). If you need to check a route that is not currently being driven, you can move the start point to wherever you want. Glossary To enhance your enjoyment of this product, please familiarize yourself with the following terms. • GPS (Global Positioning System) Heads-up Map Direction Heads-up mode rotates the map so that the direction you are currently traveling is always at the top of the map. This is the default direction in 3D map display mode. Also see “North Up Map Direction”. GPS is a system that detects the current location (latitude, longitude, altitude) by receiving radio waves from 4 or more GPS satellites in normal situations, or sometimes from 3 satellites. These satellites are launched and managed by the US Department of Defense mainly for military use, but they are also open for private use. This unit performs navigation using GPS information, various sensors, and road map data. Navigation 167
