2. PRECAUTIONS

• For your safety, the driver should not watch any video sources and/or operate the controls while driving. Please

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 trafc accident, do not operate the system while driving.

• In order to avoid a trafc 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, re, 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 specication 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.

temperature range of 0˚ to 60˚ C.

• Do not allow any liquids on the set from drinks,

umbrellas etc. Doing so may damage the internal

circuitry.

• Do not disassemble or modify the set in any way.

Doing so may result in damage.

• Subjecting the operation panel to shocks may result

in breakage, deformation or other damage.

• Do not let cigarettes burn the display.

• If a problem should occur, have the set inspected at

your store of purchase.

• Do not insert objects or poke in the space between

the operation panel and the main unit when the panel

is tilted.

• The remote control unit may not work if the remote

control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight.

• In extremely cold weather, the display movement

may slow down and the display may darken, but this

• Small black and shiny spots inside the liquid crystal

panel are normal for LCD products.

For a longer service life, be sure to read the following cautions.

Cleaning

• Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth and gently wipe off the dirt. For

tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in

water to a soft cloth, wipe off the dirt gently, then

wipe again with a dry cloth.

Do not use benzene, thinner, car cleaner, etc., as

these substances may damage the cabinet or cause

the paint to peel. Also, leaving rubber or plastic

products in contact with the cabinet for long periods

of time may cause stains.

• Cleaning the liquid crystal panel

The liquid crystal panel tends to collect dust, so wipe

it off occasionally with a soft cloth. The surface is

easily scratched, so do not rub it with hard objects.

USB Port

• The USB memory stick may stick out when inserted,

so it may cause danger during driving. In such cases,

you can use a commercial USB extension cable, etc.,

but use it safely under your own judgment.

• The USB memory sticks must be recognized as “USB

mass storage class” to work properly. Some models

may not operate correctly.

When the memorized data is lost or damaged by any

chance, Clarion shall not be liable for any damage.

When using an USB memory stick, we recommend

that you backup your data stored on it before by

using a personal computer etc.

• Data les may be broken when using USB memory

sticks in the following situation:

When disconnecting the USB memory stick or

turning the power off during writing or reading data.

When affected by static electricity or electric noise.

Connect/disconnect the USB memory stick when it

is not accessed.

• Some USB memory sticks cannot be inserted to the

main unit because of their shape. In such cases, use

a commercial USB extension cable to connect them.

• Connecting with the computer is not covered.

• Music files (MP3, WMA, etc.) stored in the USB

memory stick can be played back.

Playing MP3 folders

When selected for play, files and folders (Folder

Search, File Search or Folder Select) are accessed

in the order in which they were written to the media.

As a result, the order in which they are expected to

be played may not match the order in which they are

actually played.

You may be able to set the order in which MP3/WMA

ﬁles are to be played by assigning ﬁle names beginning

with play sequence numbers such as “01” to “99”.

For example, a medium with the following folder/ ﬁle

hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search or

Folder Select.

See the diagram below.

The player will only recognize three folder levels and

does not display folders containing other folders. In

the example above, the unit will display folders 2,3, 5

and 7, but 1 and 6 since they do not contain others.

3. General Cautions

1. Do not open the case. There are no user- serviceable

parts inside. If you drop anything into the unit during

installation, consult your dealer or an authorized

Clarion service center.

2. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the case. Never use

a rough cloth, thinner, benzine, or alcohol etc. For

tough dirt, apply a little cold or warm water to a soft

cloth and wipe off the dirt gently.

4. Cauti

ons on Install

ation

1. Prepare all articles necessary for installing the

source unit before starting.

2. This model features an operation panel that slides

forward.

On some types of cars, the operation panel may

make contact with the dashboard or gearshift

lever, in which cause it cannot be installed. Before

installing, check that the unit will not hamper

operation of the gearshift lever or obstruct your view

before selecting the installation location. (Figure 2)

3. Install the unit within 30° of the horizontal plane.

(Figure 3)

4. If you have to do any work on the car body, such as

drilling holes, consult your car dealer beforehand.

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).

2.2 Map screen

2.2.1 Navigating on the map

The Map screen is the most frequently used screen of Clarion Mobile Map.

A small live map is displayed on the startup screen, the Navigation menu, as a part of the

button.

To enlarge this small map and open the Map screen, tap .

This map shows the current position (the Vehimarker, a red arrow by default), the recommended route

(an orange line), and the surrounding map area.

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.

NX501/NZ501 English 12

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.

The calculation cannot take into account traffic jams and other possible delays.

Shows the estimated arrival time at the final destination of the route based on

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.

13 NX501/NZ501 English

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:

xTap the map when navigating,

xTap the map when you are asked to confirm the destination at the end of a search, or

xTap 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.

NX501/NZ501 English 14

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.

15 NX501/NZ501 English

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.

NX501/NZ501 English 16

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

point Your current position displayed on the map. If roads are

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

destination) An intermediate destination of the route before reaching

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

excluded from the navigation

You can choose whether you want to use or avoid

certain road types (page 77). However, when Clarion

Mobile Map cannot avoid such roads, the route will

include them and it will show them in a color that is

different from the route color.

2.2.4 Manipulating the map

Tap the map anywhere to browse it during navigation. The map stops following the current position (the

Vehimarker, a red arrow by default, is not locked in a fix position on the screen any more) and control

buttons appear to help you modify the map view.

xAs you are typing, the most likely result is always displayed in the input field. If the guess is

correct, tap to select it.

xAfter entering a couple of letters, tap to list the items that contain the

specified letters.

xYou can speed up finding an intersection:

39 NX501/NZ501 English

xSearch first for the street with a less common or less usual name; fewer letters are enough

to find it.

xIf one of the streets is shorter, search for that one first. You can then find the second one

faster.

xYou 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.

xYou can also search in ZIP codes. As ZIP codes consist of only a few characters, this is usually

faster than entering the name of the city.

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:

xWhile 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.

xWhile 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.

xDaytime colors are similar to paper road maps, and the menus are bright.

xThe 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:

xRoute 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.

71 NX501/NZ501 English

x: Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel consumption

data given in Green Routing settings (page 79). Travel cost and CO

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.

xVehicle types:

xManeuver restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when

planning a route.

xRoads are used only if access for cars is allowed.

xPrivate roads and resident-only roads are used only if they are inevitable to reach the

destination.

xWalkways are excluded from routes.

xAll maneuvers are available in intersections.

xDirectional constraints are taken into account the way that opposite direction is

allowed with a low speed.

xA private road is used only if the destination is there.

xWalkways are excluded from routes.

xManeuver restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when

planning a route.

xRoads are used only if access for buses is allowed.

xPrivate roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes.

xManeuver restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when

planning a route.

xRoads are used only if access for taxis is allowed.

xPrivate roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes.

NX501/NZ501 English 72

xRoad types used or avoided in route calculation:

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 CO

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 CO

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 CO

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 CO

emission differences between your selected route

and the Green route are also shown on this screen:

73 NX501/NZ501 English

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:

xAudio 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.

xVisual 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.

xOnly when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you exceed the given speed limit.

xWhen 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.

The following alert types are available:

NX501/NZ501 English 74

xAudio warning: you receive a verbal warning when you exceed the speed limit with the given

percentage.

xVisual warning: the current speed limit is shown on the map when you exceed it (for example:

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.

83 NX501/NZ501 English

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.

5Glossary

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.

85 NX501/NZ501 English

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).
