Route Calculation
The most up-to-date road information and regulation data
possible have been used for the maps and information
used in this system. However, subsequent road changes
may cause the information to differ from the actual condi-
tions, and inappropriate guidance may be given. Be sure
to drive according to the actual traffic conditions.
Not all roads are subject to the recommended route guid-
ance.
The calculated route is only one example of a road that
reaches the destination, which the system calculated by
taking into account road types and traffic conditions. It is
not necessarily always the best route.
Not all ferry routes are necessarily stored in the data. Fur-
ther, even if ferry routes are prioritized they are not neces-
sarily used in the route.
The route selection is a comprehensive judgement based
on factors such as the road type, distance and road width,
but this does not mean that the best route is always
selected. Think of the route as only one example of many
possible routes.
The route guidance is performed for the roads subject to
the route guidance that are the nearest to the destination or
Intermediate Destination. For this reason, an inappropriate
route may be displayed if the set route includes a location
where many roads are concentrated together, such as at an
interchange. Further, if the destination or Intermediate
Destination becomes far away from the junctions of roads
subject to the route guidance, a route may be displayed
that passes the destination or Intermediate Destination.
Traffic lanes in both directions are separately input for
wide roads or roads with central dividers. If a destination
E08101000018
(Intermediate Destination) is set in this kind of position, a
route may be selected that passes and then returns to the
destination (Intermediate Destination).
The first guidance location is the road nearest to the start-
ing position (vehicle).
The final guidance location is the road nearest to the loca-
tion set as the destination.
If while driving along route seems very indirect, it is pos-
sible that a route has been set in the direction opposite to
the current vehicle direction.
The guidance route may result in the vehicle being on the
opposite side of a river or station from that which is
desired. If this happens, move the destination near to the
desired road.
Sometimes it will not be possible to avoid toll roads or
ferry routes, when there are no other suitable routes.
If three recommended routes do not exist, the same route
may be repeated.
Sometimes the enlarged junction map will not be dis-
played immediately after the route calculation, or due to
other conditions.
