Features
Software: The
KNA-G510 comes with routing software and mapping information by Garmin,
customized for Kenwood controllers. The maps cover the US (including Alaska and
Hawaii) and Canada, they are pre-loaded and include more than 5 million points of
interest. There is also an SD memory card slot used for future updates.
Touchscreen (or Remote) Control:
The KNA-G510 is designed to be used with Kenwood touchscreen monitors, and their
corresponding remote controls.
Routing Options: Once you have
entered a destination, the unit will calculate the route and give you a choice
of three options; Fastest time, Shortest distance, or Off road. If you prefer,
set one of these as the default and you won't be asked each time.
Voice Guidance: In addition to
graphic directions, the KNA-G510 provides voice guidance and
turn-by-turn directions through the connected A/V receiver. The volume can be
adjusted to match the other sources. The voice guidance and on screen text can
be changed from English to French or Spanish. The Speech Rate, or pace, of the
voice prompts can also be adjusted. There is an Attention Tone (sounds before
voice prompts), a Touch Screen Tone (sounds when you touch a function of the
screen), and a Keypress Tone (sounds when you press a button on the monitor's
remote) that can be turned off.
Speed Adjust Volume:
The volume of the voice prompts can be increased with increases in speed to
overcome road noise.
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: The zoom in/out
commands allow you to change scale of the map display. There is also an auto
zoom you can engage that will adjust the screen for optimal viewing. The maximum
auto zoom distance can be set between 120 feet and 300 miles. The color of your
route line can be changed and the amount of map detail is adjustable (with more
detail, the map loads more slowly).
Destination Input: The
Destination Entry Menu gives you many different ways to choose your destination
or insert a point in your current route.
An on-screen keyboard appears to allow you to enter your destination
from one of the following categories:
- Address: input your
destination address by house number, street, and city
-
Home: store one home location to allow you to calculate
a route home from
any current location
-
My Locations: store a
destination as a Favorite in advance, then easily select
it as your new destination or insert it as point along your route
-
Point of Interest (POI):
select a destination from a database of nearly 6-million locations, select
by name or category, POIs can be selected as a waypoint or a
destination
- Recent
Finds: choose from one of your 50 most recent destinations or waypoints
-
Select from Map:
find a location icon on the map and make it your
destination
Custom Point of Interest:
POI databases can be downloaded from other companies
Current Location:
regardless of your proximity to a POI, your current location can be easily saved
as a Favorite.
Editing Favorites:
There are several ways to customize your favorite locations; each can be
renamed, the location of a favorite can be changed, the elevation can be added,
they can be assigned to a category, and an icon can be placed on the map in
their location.
Route Guidance:
- Map View: the direction for the next turn
is shown as a turn arrow, as you approach an upcoming turn,
an enlarged view of the intersection can automatically appear in a second box,
making route guidance even clearer, voice guidance
informs you of distances and turning directions as you approach turning points,
waypoints, or your destination
- Turn List:
a list of turns can be displayed instead of the map, you can scroll through
all the turns along your route if you like, voice guidance
informs you of distances and turning directions as you approach turning points,
waypoints, or your destination, touch a turn to see it on the map
Auto Reroute: Should you miss a
turn or make a wrong turn, the system will recalculate your route automatically.
You can silence the "off-route, recalculating" message if you like.
Trip Computer: The trip
computer shows current speed, current direction, distance to destination, total
distance traveled, average speed (including stopped time), average speed while
moving, maximum speed, total trip time, total moving time, and stopped time. You
can reset just the maximum speed or reset the entire trip computer at once.
GPS Info Page: The GPS info
page shows your current longitude and latitude, which satellite signals you're
receiving and how strong each is, your current elevation, and the date and time.
WAAS:
WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) is a system of ground reference stations
across the US that correct for GPS inaccuracies caused by orbit and clock drift,
as well as signal delays due to atmosphere and ionosphere conditions. With WAAS
engaged, the GPS positioning accuracy is improved to within approximately 10
feet. WAAS can be turned off if you prefer.
EGNOS:
The KNA-G510 also features EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay
Service), which is the European answer to WAAS. EGNOS is turned on and off along
with WAAS.
Midpoints:
You can add midpoints to a route when you create it of afterwards.
Detour: You can detour from
your current route, routing off the current road for 1/2, 2, or 5 miles. You can
also select a road on your current route to detour around.
Avoid: You can specify
particular roads or types of roads for the route calculator to avoid. You can
also avoid certain areas.
Track Log: The track log
creates a bread crumb trail (track log) of your movement. At any time the entire
track log can be displayed on the map. You can also reset the track log whenever
you like.
Mileage Log: There are four
different mileage logs, each can be named, individually activated/deactivated,
and reset at any time.
Mounting: For best operation the unit
should be mounted parallel to the ground.
NavTraffic
NavTraffic:
With the addition of an XM Smart Antenna (item number 113GXM30T) and a
NavTraffic subscription, the KNA-G510 can display real time traffic information
to help you avoid delays. Available information includes traffic flow (with
speed), accident reports, disabled vehicle reports, scheduled construction and
road closures, and weather related delays.
Note: Because the reporting of
information on traffic accidents, disabled vehicles, etc relies on human
interaction, the time span from when an incident occurs and when it is
displayed by XM NavTraffic will vary.
Detour: When a traffic delay is detected,
you can detour around the area with one touch of a button.
NAVTEQ: NAVTEQ Traffic provides the
traffic flow and incident information for the XM NavTraffic service. This data
is collected from multiple sources across the country, including leading
commercial traffic data providers, government departments of transportation,
police and emergency services, road sensors, cameras, and real-time aircraft
reports. NAVTEQ Traffic frequently performs extensive data quality processing to
provide the most complete and accurate nationwide traffic information feed.

FM Traffic Information
Optional FM Traffic Receiver: Using an optional FM Traffic Receiver
(113GTM10, sold separately) the Kenwood navigation unit can receive and use
traffic information. When a traffic message is received, you can see the event
on the map and change your route to avoid the traffic incident.
Real-Time Traffic Data: In most area, depending on the service
provider, TMC traffic broadcasts are continuous - there's no waiting for
scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. With the TMC receiver, you see
traffic developments in real-time, as they happen, so you make the right
decision sooner. The system alerts you when a traffic problem is on your route
and proposes an alternate route to avoid the incident.
Note: Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent"
FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on
your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data
transmissions.
Avoid Traffic Tie Ups: TMC data is available in a fast-growing number
of cities throughout North America and Europe (see table below) and gives
prompt, accurate notification of accidents, road construction, police, or
emergency action, etc. - so you can visually monitor traffic flow and, if
necessary, avoid traffic tie-ups.
Subscription Information: Traffic services are available only in
select cities where coverage exists. A subscription may be required to enable
traffic capability.
- Throughout most of Western Europe, basic TMC data is a free public
service, accessible through a number of providers.
- In France and the UK, premium service provide by TrafficMaster requires
a subscription.
- In the U.S., a subscription to Total Traffic Network is required.
