Features

Disc Compatibility: The KNA-DV4100 is compatible with DVD-ROM navigation map discs only and cannot play standard video DVDs.

Touchscreen (or Remote) Control: The KNA-DV4100 was designed to be used along with any Kenwood mobile television that has touchscreen control, including the KVT-915DVD, KVT-715DVD, and DDX7015. The KNA-DV4100's touchscreen menus operate identically on all compatible monitors. With the touchscreen interface, all controls appear as icons on the screen; you simply touch the one you want and the system responds, allowing you to concentrate on driving. With the optional KNA-RC300 remote control (item #113KNARC30), you can use the KNA-DV4100 with any mobile TV monitor.

Voice Recognition: The optional KNA-VC300 Microphone and Talk Switch (item # 113KNAVC30) allows you to control the 'DV4100 Navigation system through voice recognition. You can configure the Voice Recognition system to accept an English (U.S.) male voice, English (U.S.) female voice, English (U.K.), or a number of other languages. With Voice Recognition, you can operate the navigation system totally hands free. Voice commands are sorted into six categories: Shortcut commands, Map Operation commands, POI (Points-of-Interest) Display commands, Destination Operation commands, Guidance commands, and Display commands.

DVD Navigation Map: The navigation system includes the KNA-MP414 DVD Navigation Map of North America on two discs containing different areas (East and West). There is some overlap of the two areas with 13 Midwest states appearing on both discs. Over 6 million map miles and over 10 million points of interest are included on the discs.

Routing Options: Once you have entered a destination, the unit will calculate the route and give you a choice of three options: Normal Route, Shortest Distance, or Quickest Route.

Voice Guidance: In addition to graphical directions, the 'DV4100 Navigation system provides voice guidance and turn-by-turn directions through the connected A/V receiver. The unit has a mono audio preamp output to allow you to connect a dedicated active speaker for voice guidance, if desired. You can select any of 12 available languages for Voice Guidance, including a male or female English (U.S.) voice.

Positioning Methods: The KNA-DV4100 uses a combination of the following three methods of vehicle positioning:

• GPS (Global Positioning System): Using the supplied GPS antenna, the vehicle's position is calculated using up to 8 positioning satellites. The GPS updates the vehicle's position two times per second (while the display updates once per second).
• Wheel Pulse: The supplied wiring harness contains leads that are connected to the vehicle's speed signal circuit, the reverse detection circuit, and parking brake detection circuit. The unit receives pulse signals from the speed signal circuit to calculate the vehicle's speed to determine the distance traveled.
• Gyro Sensor: The unit's built-in Gyro Sensor helps determine the direction the vehicle is traveling. Note: The main unit must be mounted horizontally in order for the gyro sensor to operate properly.

Map Matching: Map Matching combines the vehicle position data provided by the GPS satellites, information from the map data stored on the DVD-ROM, information from the gyroscope and speed sensors with dead reckoning. (Dead reckoning uses the known course and distance traveled from the last previously known position to help determine the vehicle's current position.) Map Matching receives updated GPS information twice per second, and updated DVD map information every second, ensuring that the vehicle's location is accurately displayed.

Map Orientation: You can choose to orient the map in one of two ways. You can select to show North at the top of the screen, or show the direction in which you are heading at the top.

Map Display Scale: You can increase or decrease the scale of the display map. The scale can be changed in 13 gradual steps, or, by using the on-screen scale bar, directly select one of 5 preset map scales between 1/32 mile and 128 miles.

Destination Input: The Destination Entry Menu gives you many different ways to choose your destination. An on-screen "keyboard" appears to allow you to enter your destination from one of the following categories:

• Address: You can input your destination's address by house number, street and city.
• Memory Point: You can select a destination from any one of 100 addresses that you have stored in memory. Memory points can be selected from one of four categories: Marked Point, Personal, Business, or Entertainment.
• Home/Stored Destination: You can store one home location to allow you to calculate your route home from your current location. If a destination is stored in advance, you can select it as your current destination, in a one-touch operation.
• Point of Interest: You can select a destination from a database of 10-million locations. You can select by name or category. Note: POIs can be selected as a waypoint or a destination.
• Previous Destination: You can choose from one of your 100 most recent destinations or waypoints.
• Select from Map: You can find a location on the map that was last displayed and make it your destination.
• Freeway Entrance/Exit: You can find the name of a freeway entrance or exit and make it your destination.
• Emergency: You can set the nearest police station or hospital as a destination.
• Coordinates: Using latitude and longitude, you can enter the coordinates of the location you desire as your destination.
• Intersection: You can enter the intersection of two streets and make it your destination.
• Phone Number: You can enter the phone number of the business or residence you want as your destination.

Route Guidance: While driving along during route guidance, the directions for the next junction where you have to turn are shown as a Turn Arrow or Turn List. As you approach an upcoming turn, an enlarged diagram of the junction automatically appears on a second screen, making route guidance even clearer. During route guidance, voice guidance will inform you of distances and turning directions as you approach turning points, waypoints, or your destination.

Auto Reroute: Should you miss a turn or make a wrong turn, the high-speed Auto Reroute feature automatically recalculates the route within 2 seconds.

Route Options: During route guidance to your destination, you can change the route options, stop, or check the route. You can select from the following route options:

• Search Condition: You can reset the conditions for the route search. For example, if you are currently navigating the shortest route, you can change to the quickest route and the system will recalculate the route.
• Detour: If you have to detour off of the calculated route, you can specify the length of the detour and the navigation system will calculate an alternate route.
• Route Preferences: The navigation system will calculate a route according to the conditions you set. You can minimize time/distance, use major roads, use toll roads, and use ferries.
• Destination/Waypoint Changes: The destination or waypoints used in route calculation can be added or changed, and the new route will be calculated.
• Display Whole Route: this function allows you to display the entire route once the destination is set and the guidance route is shown. You can also display a map of the area around the destination and a list of turns along your route.
• Route Preview/Simulation Run: The navigation system can show you an automated simulation of the calculated route before you begin traveling.
