restricted roads.
Rerouting: If you accidentally
(or on purpose) leave the recommended route, a new alternate route will instantly
be recalculated and displayed.
Turn List: Route data can be displayed in list form on the unit's
display monitor. The Turn List divides Route data at entrances/exits of
interchanges (IC), junctions (JCT) and at the turning points of each
destination, transit and other roads. The road name and distance appear for each
piece of divided route data.
Voice Guidance: If approaching an intersection, junction point,
transit point, interchange (ramp), exit/entrance, junction (JCT) or your
destination while your calculated route is in progress, a voice will announce
the remaining distance to those points and up to 10 turning directs (straight,
right, left, slight right, slight left, sharp right, sharp left, make a legal
u-turn, keep right, or keep left). Voice guidance is performed in PCM voice
(human voice).
Added Destinations: After having set your main destination, up to five
additional destinations can be added to your route.
Intersection Guidance: When approaching a junctions intersections
(within about a mile), an enlarged intersection display screen will
automatically appear.
