  Press “Go To” to begin your journey. An intuitive interface and smart key filtering features help you quickly narrow down and lockdown your destination.
• Any Place, Any Time.

There are multiple ways to narrow down your locations, from those that are near you, within your city, or along your route – plenty of options to find your next destination. You can choose to turn on selectable map icons, which will show you places by type – such as restaurants, airports, attractions, gas stations...you pick the place!
• Map It!
  Get a more realistic perspective by viewing streets from a 3-dimensional view. With multiple map orientation views, you can select from 3D, North-Up, and Heading-Up, whichever view works best for you. Plus, you can toggle from Arrow mode to Map Mode, whether you simply prefer three successive arrow maneuvers all the way to your destination, or a full-screen map of the area. It’s up to you.
  
• Need a Guide?
  Turn up the volume and let K3 lead the way with turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names (example: “Turn Left on Main Street”) If you’re more of a visual person, view turn-by-turn guidance arrows right from the screen to anticipate the maneuvers ahead.
• Advanced Performance
  Don’t fall behind with older, slower navigation systems. The PND-K3’s built-in speedy processor means faster route calculations, search results, map loading and zooming. Fast GPS reception lets you get on the road faster Three Advanced positioning sensors yield more accurate vehicle position so your navigation can pinpoint where you are and get you exactly where you want to go, even when driving through tunnels and around tall buildings.
• Personalization
  • Your Color
    Customize your settings and select from eight different menu and map color schemes. It’s OK to feel aqua one day and ruby the next!

  • Your Settings
    View only what you want to see on your maps, by turning map icons on/off. If all you want to see are restaurants, turn the restaurant icon on. You can also adjust the volume of the voice guidance prompts or even turn it off if you prefer just visual guidance.
