Glossary

AAC
AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and
refers to an audio compression technology
standard used with MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.
Bit rate
This expresses data volume per second, or bps
units (bits per second). The higher the rate,
the more information is available to reproduce
the sound. Using the same encoding method
(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better
the sound.
CD-DA
This stands for a general music CD (commer-
cial-release audio CD). In this manual, this
word is sometime used for a distinction be-
tween data CDs (which include compressed
audio files) and general music CDs.
Current location
The present location of your vehicle; your cur-
rent location is shown on the map by a red tri-
angle mark.

These are important landmarks along your
route, generally intersections. The next gui-
dance point along your route is indicated on
the map by the yellow flag icon.
Home location

ID3 tag
This is a method of embedding track-related
information in an MP3 file. This embedded in-
formation can include the track title, the ar-
tist's name, the album title, the music genre,

data. The contents can be freely edited using
software with ID3 Tag editing functions.
Although the tags are restricted by the num-
ber of characters, the information can be
viewed when the track is played back.
