PMD-B200P Version 2.0 Owners Manual

1 Important Information

Please Read Carefully Before Using This Product
This product is intended to safely provide turn by turn instruction to get you to a desired destination. Please read the following precautions to ensure that you use your navigation system correctly. This product is not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any route suggestions made by the navigation system may never supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment and/or knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not follow route suggestions if the navigation system instructs you to perform an unsafe or illegal manoeuvre, places you in an unsafe situation, or routes you into an area which you consider unsafe. Glance at the monitor screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner and location. Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring prolonged viewing of the monitor and/or remote control while you are driving. Stop the vehicle in safe and legal manner and location before attempting to access the system. Do not use the navigation system to route you to emergency services. Not all locations of emergency service providers such as police and fire stations, hospitals and clinics are contained in the database. Please use your own judgment and your ability to ask for directions in these situations. The map database contained within the media in which it is stored is the most recent map data available at the time of production. Because of changes in streets and neighbourhoods, there may be situations where the navigation system may not be able to route you to your desired destination. In these cases, use your own personal judgment. The map database is designed to provide you with route suggestions. It does not take account of the relative safety of a suggested route, or of factors which may affect the time required to reach your destination. The database does not reflect road closures or construction, road characteristics (i.e. type of road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), traffic congestion, weather conditions, or any other factors which may affect the safety or timing of your driving experience. Use your personal judgment if the navigation system is unable to provide you with an alternate route. There may be situations where the navigation system may display the vehicles location erroneously. Use your own driving judgment in this situation, taking into account current driving conditions. Please be aware that in this situation the navigation system should correct the vehicles position automatically; however, there may be times when you may have to correct the position yourself. If this is the case, stop the vehicle in safe and legal manner and location before attempting operation. Make certain that the volume level of the monitor is set to a level which still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles. Driving while unable to hear outside sounds could cause an accident. Please make certain that any other person who intends on using the navigation system reads these precautions and the following instructions carefully. If there is anything in the manual which you do not understand, or are uncertain about the operation of the navigation system, please contact an authorised ALPINE representative before using the navigation system.

6.2 Hardware buttons

You can use Alpine Navigation Software mostly by tapping the touch screen. The device has only a few hardware buttons. You can turn Blackbird on or off at any time with the button on the top of the device. When Blackbird is switched off, Alpine Navigation Software does not calculate your GPS position and it does not update the route or the driving instructions. When you turn Blackbird on again, Alpine Navigation Software continues navigating as soon as the GPS receiver has determined your position. The functions of the hardware buttons are the following:

6.4.2 Lane information and Signposts
When navigating on multilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the recommended route. If lane information is available in the map data, Alpine Navigation Software displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. Arrows in yellow represent the lanes you need to take. Where there is additional information available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are always displayed at the top of the map. The colour and style of the signposts are similar to the real ones you can see above road or by the roadside. They show the available destinations and the number of the road the lane leads to. All signposts look similar when cruising (when there is no recommended route). When navigating a route, only that signpost is displayed in vivid colours that points to the lane(s) to be taken; all others are darkened out.

6.4.4 Using the Cursor (the selected map location)
First, place the Cursor at the desired map location with one of the following options: Use the Destination menu to select a location. The map returns with the selected point (the Cursor) in the middle, and the Cursor menu appears with the available options. Tap the screen and tap again to place the Cursor at the desired location. Now tap to open the Cursor menu. You can perform the following actions: Button Description Creates a new route with the Cursor as the destination. The previous route (if exists) is deleted. Opens the full-screen Cursor menu with all the possible options. The location of the Cursor is saved as the Home address. The Cursor is saved as a user POI. Select the POI group and give a name for the POI, then select a suitable icon, enter a phone number, and additional information if you like. The Cursor becomes the start point of the route. This means that the route is not started from the current GPS position, and Automatic Off-route Recalculation needs to be turned off to keep the selected point as the start point.
This button is similar to the button, but a new screen opens, and the route is calculated with all the possible route calculation methods (Fast, Short, Economical and Easy). Observe the results, and choose one of the routes to navigate. The Cursor is added to the active route as an intermediate route point, a point to be reached before the destination. If there is already a waypoint in the route, the Edit Route screen opens to let you decide where the new waypoint is to appear in the route. The location of the Cursor is added to the list of frequently visited destinations, the so called Favourites. You can give a name for the Favourite.
6.5 Alpine Navigation Software concepts

6.5.1 Auto Zoom

Auto Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature: While following a route calculated by Alpine Navigation Software: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view angle to let you easily recognise your manoeuvre 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 in Alpine Navigation Software: Auto Zoom will zoom in if you drive slowly and zoom out when you drive at high speed.

7 Navigating with Alpine Navigation Software
You can set up your route in Alpine Navigation Software in several ways: if you need a simple route (a route with only one destination, without any intermediate waypoints), you can select the destination and start navigating to it right away you can plan a multi-point route you can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position or even without GPS reception
7.1 Selecting the destination of a route
Alpine Navigation Software offers you several ways of choosing your destination and waypoints (intermediate destinations): Use the selected location on the map (the Cursor) (page 31). Enter a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a house number or the names of two intersecting streets (page 32). Enter an address with postal code (page 37). This way you do not need to select the name of the settlement and the search for street names might be faster as well. Use a coordinate (page 40) Use a saved location: Tip! a Favourite (page 38) a POI (page 38)
If you are going to use a route later, save it before you start navigating. Tap the following buttons: , ,.
7.1.1 Selecting the Cursor as the destination
1. Locate your destination on the map: move and scale the map as needed (page 18).
Tap the location that you want to select as your destination. The Cursor (

tapping
, tap. The Cursor menu appears, save the selected location as a POI or put it on the list of your Favourites first. The map returns
automatically with the same point. Now you can use it as a route point.
7.1.2 Entering an address or part of an address
If you know at least a part of the address, it is the quickest way to select the destination of the route. Using the same screen, you can find an address by entering: the exact address, including house number the centre of a settlement an intersection the midpoint of a street any of the above, starting the search with the postal code (page 37)

Every time a new point is added, the route is recalculated automatically, and you can start navigating right away.

7.3 Editing the route

Tap the following buttons: , ,.
The list of route points appear with the start point at the top of the list and the final destination at the bottom. If several waypoints exist, you might need to scroll between pages. Tap one of the route points in the list. You have the following options:
The selected point moves up in the list (becomes a waypoint to be reached earlier). Tap this button repeatedly, and the point becomes the start point of the route (when routing from a given location) or the first waypoint to reach (when routing from the GPS position). The selected point moves down in the list (becomes a waypoint to be reached later). Tap this button repeatedly, and the point becomes the final destination of the route. Tap this button to optimise the route. The start point and the destination remain at their position, but the waypoints are reordered to make the shortest possible route. Tap this button to remove the selected point from the route.
As soon as you leave this screen, the route is recalculated automatically, and you can start navigating right away.

Alpine Navigation Software will automatically start recording the track log as soon as GPS position is available. This figure shows how much memory is used by the automatically saved track logs.

Navigation

Jam packed: In cities even the 7-inch screen sometimes seems overloaded.
Tucked away: The Blackbird PMD B200P sat nav transforms the Alpine IVA-W505R Moniceiver into a fully fitted system.
A plug-&-play sat nav that you can also use as a fitted system how does that work? Its quite simple. Take the Alpine IVA-W505R Moniceiver and add the portable Blackbird PMD B200P sat nav. Just like with good old VCRs, you slot it into the main unit and youre done fixed installation la Alpine. Is this NAVI-K2/W505R package worth the relatively high price of 1,399? pine you can quickly switch through the playlists without having to put up with tedious delays. However, you first need to get used to operating the iPod via the IVA-W505R, as this is rather more complicated than when using Apples music box on its own. This is firstly due to the buttons ending up too small and secondly to the fact that the menu is not uite q as clear as on the iPod itself. Videos and podcasts can also be played on the 7-inch display. All who are not iPod fans will also be delighted: there is no irritating searching of nested directory struc ures on t USB storage devices, as the Alpine IVA-W505R can read ID3 tags. The Blackbird also has a practical Bluetooth hands-free facility. We used this a lot during our test drives. Unfortunately in plug-&play mode its a bit quiet due to the smaller speakers.
Alpine IVA-W505R/PMD B200P
Short-cut wanted: You use two buttons to get to the main menu (top right) and back to the navigation view (bottom right).
Slip it in: The Alpine Moniceiver swallows up the Blackbird sat nav unit just like VCRs used to with video cassettes.
Fully fitted plug-&-play
The unusual combination of fully fitted and plug-&-play navigation has one major benefit to start with: owners of more than one car can use the fitted solution in one vehicle while sticking the Blackbird quickly to the windscreen with a suction holder in the other. They are thus saved from having to buy a second sat nav. Another practical feature: any one already owning an IVA-W505R (priced 999 on its own) or an IVAW205R (899) can buy the Blackbird as an add-on. However, that costs a mighty 499. Steep in the days of 99 sat navs! The IVAW505R/PMD B200P bundle is yours for 1,199. It has, for example, a full-speed port for connecting an iPod. This connection is justifiably called full-speed, for in contrast to many conventional iPod integration solutions, with the Al-

Talkative directions

In terms of leading you to your d estination the system provides impressively precise spoken directions, even if these have ended up a bit wordy. That can do no harm on unfamiliar routes, but is irritating in everyday use. The systems talkative nature does, however, also have a benefit: turns to be taken at the end of tunnels are pleasingly announced in good time even without a GPS signal. The friendly male voice also prompts us with the direction and the distance to the next junction. Compared to the Zenec and the Xzent, the Alpine is a bit more pre-
Just another iGo sat nav?
In sat nav mode we are greeted by the familiar iGo interface. Alpine, however, have done a bit of fine tuning, as the menu interfaces are somewhat more colourful and nicer to look at than on the iGo systems from Zenec and Xzent. Our testers would neverthelss have liked the IVA-W505Rs 7-inch screen to have a rather higher resolution as the pin-sharp picture, for example,

cise and natural. On hearing the slioghlty lisping female voice you soon feel yourself reminded of German television personality Katja Burkard. Nevertheless, orientation at major junctions or crossroads, on motorways or country roads, works really easily thanks to the use of signposts. In city centres, however, the exceptionally large number of signs sometimes akes things a little m cluttered. The TMC traffic jam report function is solved in an interesting way: if traffic has come to a standstill on your planned route, the colour changes in a little window on the edge of the map.
