4.1 Concepts 

4.1.1 Smart Zoom 

Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature: 

• 

While following a route:

 when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and 

raise the view angle to let you easily recognize your maneuver at the next 
junction. If the next turn is at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the 
view angle to be flat so you can see the road in front of you. 

• 

While driving without an active route:

 Smart Zoom will zoom in if you 

drive slowly and zoom out when you drive at high speed. 

• 

Automatic Zoom Setting Off:

 Turns the Smart Zoom off.

4.1.2 Route calculation and recalculation 

The navigation system calculates the route based on your preferences:

• 

Route planning methods: 

• 

“Fast” : Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed 
limit on all roads.

• 

“Short” : Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all 
possible routes. 

• 

“Economical” : This method combines the merits of the Fast and 
Short routes: The navigation system makes a calculation for the 
Fast route, but it also includes other roads in the calculation in 
consideration of fuel economy.

• 

“Easy” : Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult 
maneuvers. With this option, you can make the navigation system 
take, for example, the highway/freeway instead of a series of 
smaller roads or streets. 

• 

Road type used for route plan:

• 

Allow Highways

• 

Allow Toll Roads

• 

Allow Border Crossing

• 

Allow Carpool / HOV Lanes

• 

Allow Unpaved Roads

• 

Allow Ferries

• 

Allow Car Shuttle Trains

• 

Allow Roads That Need Permits

• 

Allow Seasonally Restricted Roads

Whenever data exist, route calculation takes into account historical traffic 
data for the given day of week and time of day (page 65). 
If the setting for Traffic Settings is valid, Real-time Traffic events are taken into 
account and the route is largely modified.
The navigation system automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from 
the proposed itinerary or if a newly received Traffic event concerns a part of 
the recommended route.
For further information about Route Settings, see page 71.

Some functions are not available depending on some countries and 
regions.
