Operating Instructions

Basic Touch Screen Operation

The AVIC-ZH0999W features a responsive touch screen for intuitive control. You can quickly access functions and navigate menus with simple taps and swipes.

Image: This diagram illustrates the system's responsiveness to driver input. The top section shows quick transitions between different screens and functions. The bottom section demonstrates map scrolling: by continuously touching a desired location, the map moves continuously. The scrolling speed adjusts based on how far the touched point is from the center of the screen, allowing for rapid movement to distant locations. It also depicts 3D map matching and slope data analysis for precise positioning.

Navigation Features

The Cyber Navi system offers highly accurate positioning and intelligent route guidance.

• Precise Positioning: Multi-field map matching and a crystal 3D hybrid sensor accurately determine your vehicle's position, even in areas not covered by standard road data. It can precisely detect slopes and differentiate between roads with slight angle differences.
• Advanced Route Search: The system calculates optimal routes by considering various factors, including real-time traffic information and predicted travel times. It identifies candidate routes, estimates required time, and selects the most efficient path.

Image: This diagram explains the advanced route search algorithm. It shows how the system identifies candidate routes, calculates estimated travel times based on real-time traffic and predicted congestion, and then selects the optimal route. Factors like traffic jams, long waits at signals, and smooth flowing traffic are considered.
