Introduction to Your Navigation System

freeway signage and over 500,000 point of interest locations in over 40
categories, ranging from tourist attractions, golf courses and government
buildings to gas stations, airports, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and automated
teller machines (ATMs).

Metro Area Coverage
Metro Area Coverage includes all defined roads within a city as well as the
area’s entire road network (interstate highways, state and county roads). In a
metro area, a typical segment of a roadway may contain up to 150 pieces of
information, such as road type (freeway, ramp, city street, to name a few), one-
way restrictions, turning restrictions, and alternate street names. It is this vast
quantity of information in a metro area that allows your navigation system to
provide accurate route planning and directional guidance. Metro Area Coverage
is not yet complete for all metro areas, though ongoing digital mapping is
continually expanding the coverage.

Intertown Coverage
Intertown Coverage is provided for more rural areas of the country to
seamlessly connect the detailed areas. The “City Center” point of interest
category is useful for routing to cities where Metro Area Coverage is not
available. This information includes all roads in the American Automobile
Association’s (AAA) state road maps.

Map and Information Database
Your NavMate Navigation System’s map and information database is
constantly being updated for completeness and accuracy. While the database
was judged to be as accurate as possible at the time of its release, a map database
can never be 100% accurate. Roadway information that is maintained in the map
databases, such as turning restrictions or road names, changes over time. In
addition, points of interests, such as restaurants, hotels, and gas stations, also
change over time. The complexity of keeping this directory current means that
some pieces of information may be missing or out-of-date at times.

Mapping and travel information for the USA is compressed into 9 Map CD’s,
together with navigation software to operate the system. Each Map CD comes
with the complete U.S. highway network called Route USA. They are:
