1 Warnings and safety information Clarion is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected destination. It will determine your exact location with the help of an attached GPS device. The position information obtained from the GPS receiver will not be transmitted anywhere, so others will not be able to track you by the help of this program. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate Clarion before beginning your journey. The driver’s attention s

2 General information Clarion is a navigation system optimised for in-car use. It provides door-to-door navigation for both single and multi-point routes using adaptable route parameters. Clarion is capable of planning routes throughout the whole installed map set. Unlike some other products, Clarion does not require that you change maps or switch to a poorly detailed general map to navigate between map segments or countries. You always have complete freedom to go wherever you wish. Just s

3 Operating Clarion (Controls) Clarion is designed for easy operation. All controls are operable by fingertips. Wherever possible, pushbuttons and lists are provided to make accessing functions or changing settings as easy as possible. 3.1 Hardware buttons There are only a few hardware buttons on your Map 670/770. The majority of the Clarion functions can be accessed using the touch screen. The hardware buttons are the following: 3.1.1 Power on/off Use this button to turn the power of

3.2 Screen buttons and controls The primary input channel of Clarion is the touch screen. If you read on, you will realise that most parts of the screen are not only used to display information but also to initiate functions by tapping. Below you will find a list of the most frequently used controls in the program. 3.2.1 Direct selectors Some of the settings can be chosen from a short list of possible values. If the values can be described graphically, all values are available on the scre

jumps there immediately). As with the list selectors, there is no need to confirm your selection. As soon as you leave the screen, the selected value becomes effective. 3.2.4 Switches When a function can only have two values (mainly Enabled and Disabled), a switch is used. Unlike with list selectors, the horizontal line contains the name of the function and not the actual status. There is a lamp on the left to show whether the function is active or not. When the lamp is dark , the funct

3.2.7 Virtual keyboards Clarion is designed in a way that you only need to enter letters or numbers when it is inevitable. In these cases a full screen keyboard pops up that can easily be operated with your fingertips. You can choose between a separate ABC and numeric keypad, or a set of QWERTY-type keyboards that contain both letters and numbers. Clarion will remember your last choice and offer it the next time you need to enter data. The alphabetic keyboards in Clarion do not contain spe

The special keys described in the previous section are also available here. 3.2.7.3 The numeric keyboard The numeric keyboard only contains numbers, on huge buttons. The special keys you find on the other keyboards (except Space) are available here as well. Although QWERTY-type keyboards also contain number keys, when entering a house number, the program offers the more convenient numeric keypad. 15

4 Discovering the program through the screens The best way to discover Clarion is to explore each screen in detail, and to find out how to move from one to another. Read this chapter for a guided tour. 4.1 Main menu (Navigation Menu) Clarion starts by displaying the Main menu. This is the root of the screen hierarchy, but you need to return here very rarely while using the program. Screens are also accessible from each other to reduce the number of actions needed to initiate a function or

The About screen is not used in normal navigation. It is there to inform you about the map licenses you have, the creators of Clarion and the legal aspects of using the program. 4.3 The map The most important and most frequently used screens of Clarion are the two screens with the map (Map screen and Cockpit screen). They are si

It is easy to change between 2D and 3D modes. You have two options. You can use the Tilt up and down buttons (Page 31) to tilt the map seamlessly between 2D and all 3D angles, or you can use the switch in the Quick menu (Page 43) to quickly switch between the two modes. Note: You may find that 2D mode is more useful in North-up Map mode when looking for a certain part of the map or an object to select as destination. On the other hand, 3D mode in Track-up Cockpit mode with Smart Zoom mak

Changing the scale of the map is very easy. You can drag and stretch the scale (Page 32) at the bottom of the Map screen, or use the zoom icons (Page 31) on both Map and Cockpit screens. Note: If you need to zoom out briefly to locate your position on the map, use the Overview mode instead of zooming out and back in. The Overview mode is a 2D North-up view that can be started by tapping the compass button on the right (Page 33). Note: Clarion has a special Smart Zoom function for navigati

Tip: To further enhance the effect of the night colour scheme, you can instruct Clarion to decrease the display backlight when the night colours are used. Set the desired backlight levels for both daylight and night modes. Page 73. Note: The colours mentioned and screenshots included in this manual refer to the default daytime and night colour schemes. They may not look the same in the schemes you have chosen. Tip: If you use Clarion after sunrise or before sunset, look for the sun in the
