   How to check if my Mazda is equipped with a navigation system?

   Hi,
   I have Mazda 2014. I purchased on Kijjiji the new, never used original Mazda navigation sd card but I cannot make it work.
   The display says:
   "This vehicle is not equipped with a Navigation system. However, an integrated navigation system is available through your Mazda dealer as a Genuine Mazda Accessory."
   but the dealer says my Mazda is navigation ready.
   Your thoughts please,
   /jas

   Are you sure you bought the right card for your car because the nav have changed throughout the years so you may be running a different system on your nav which can't read.the SD card

   if the SD card was inserted into a car that had more than 100km on it, it will be VIN locked to that car... in other words, if the seller was "doing you a favour" by inserting the card into his/another card to "test" it, then he turned a new card into a used card... which is no good to you any more

Using Your Navigation System Safely

It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate your navigation system before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure, obey all traffic signs, and stop if you need to change the route. If you deviate from the recommended route, your navigation system adjusts.

Map Customization

Depending on whether you are navigating an active route or driving without a destination, the fields displayed may include speed limit of the current road, distance to be traveled before reaching destination, estimated arrival time and when available, live traffic information or historical traffic data.

Map view settings:

1. Select NAVIGATION from the Home screen.
2. Select SETTINGS.
3. Select MAP SETTINGS.
4. Options include: color themes for both day and night use; selecting which places should appear on map; choice of 3D perspective or top-down view; and showing or suppressing 3D city models, 3D artistic or block representation of full city building data.

Guidance settings:

1. Select NAVIGATION from the Home screen.
2. Select SETTINGS.
3. Select GUIDANCE SETTINGS to adjust how the software uses various route-related information on the map screen.

Audio and visual warnings:

1. Select NAVIGATION from the Home screen.
2. Select SETTINGS.
3. Select WARNING SETTINGS.
4. Activate specific warnings and alerts; adjust volume; mute sound; set up warnings related to speed limit and monitoring current speed; set notifications of road safety cameras and other proximity alert points.

Traffic Information

The recommended route between two points may not always be the same because traffic can vary according to day of the week, time of day and season. Taking historical traffic data and patterns into account, when available, makes it possible for your system to calculate the most efficient route to any destination. You may choose to enable this option during normal conditions and disable it during holidays or other times when historical patterns may not apply.

Use of traffic data:

1. Select NAVIGATION from the Home screen.
2. Select SETTINGS.
3. Select TRAFFIC SETTINGS to enable or disable use of traffic or detour information.

Route Planning

Change the planning method to optimize route calculation for specific situations and vehicle types. You may also prefer to avoid certain types of routes, such as toll roads, ferries, or routes with carpool lanes. Exclude a particular road type to have the system calculate a route that avoids these roads whenever possible.

Selecting road types:

1. Select NAVIGATION from the Home screen.
2. Select SETTINGS.
3. Select ROUTE SETTINGS.
4. Choose or change road types to be used or excluded in route planning.
5. Choose or change route type; options include Fast, Short, Economical and Easy.

GPS information

The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS receiver, however, the Mazda navigation system does not transmit your GPS position and others cannot track you. When first using the application, you have the opportunity to accept collection of usage information and GPS logs that may be used for improving the application and the quality and coverage of maps. The data is processed anonymously; no one will be able to track any personal information.
