A Point of Interest, or POI, is a specific location that you may find useful or interesting during your journey.

Points of Interest are places like hotels, restaurants, petrol stations, tourist venues, parking lots; even cash machines.

Our sat nav systems have a large amount of POI’s stored in memory.

Put simply, NavGate Feeds allows you to fully customise and enhance your sat nav system to your own driving requirements, allowing you to:

TMC stands for Traffic Messaging Channel.

Our system’s TMC receiver keeps you updated on current traffic events and suggest alternative routes.

In countries where real-time TMC traffic information is broadcast (see the list below), the system indicates the traffic events on a map within a range of 150 kilometres and presents you with an alternative route in order to avoid the traffic event.

A special menu function lists all the current traffic events in the area and even sorts them by distance or event.

To see which countries TMC is available in, please visit the TMC website.

A Parrot Bluetooth Module will enable the connection between your Pioneer receiver or navigation system to almost any Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone.

Find your phone's Bluetooth compatibility under the Support section of this product.

Plug in and play your iPod.

Using an optional cable or adapter (check the product features on the product page to see which one you’ll need), you can connect your iPod directly to your system.

MusicSphere is a unique iTunes plug-in that matches your music to your mood.

When installed, MusicSphere analyses your entire iPod, iPod Touch, or iPhone music library and creates specialised playlists based on various musical attributes such as:

• feeling (bright, energetic, gloomy, relaxing, calm),
• rhythm pattern,
• Beats Per Minute (BPM),
• year of the song or
• date added to the device.

Once your iPod, iPhone or iPod Touch device has been synced with the MusicSphere playlists and is connected to one of our 2010 NavGate systems, up to 40 specialised playlists can be accessed through an animated 3D sphere which can be rotated up, down, left and right with a slight touch of the screen.

RCA pre-outs enable you to easily expand your sound system. Depending on whether your NavGate unit comes with 1 or 3 RCA pre-outs, you can customise your sound system with separate amplifiers for the front speakers, the rear speakers and/or the subwoofer.

The RCA pre-outs let you create the exact sound you want, with the focus on complete flexibility.

Sonic Center Control is a listening position adjustment tool, which lets you optimally tune the audio output based on where you (or your passengers) are sitting.

By changing the position to the right (as shown in the screenshot), the sound image will move to the right. The driver’s side speaker timing is adjusted, with the result of an improved sound stage based on your listening position.

This feature takes the sound delay data used by DSPs and translates it into an analogue version using phase delays. However, in order to mimic a DSP’s sound delay, frequencies can only be altered up until midrange.
