pioneer avic-d3 -- what does "dish" symbol mean?
I have a Pioneer AVIC-D3 navigator installed in a 2003 F150. (Side note, Pioneer doesn't list the 2003 F150 as a compatible truck, but it fits fine.) The meaning of most of the map icons is obvious, and many can be figured out with a little experimentation (like pie == restaurant, not pizza joint). But there are some icons that are just a mystery. Specifically, we see the "hairy dish" symbol a lot -- it looks like an old style satellite dish pointing straight up with lines above it that appear to indicate that it's transmitting. (Or it's a wok in a rain of worms, maybe.) At first we thought it represented cell sites, but we can *see* the cell towers and they don't match the position of the symbols on the map. Another guess was to indicate an area with questionable satellite reception, because the symbol often shows up in forested areas. But we don't know for sure, and the symbol doesn't appear to be in any of the unit's documentation or on the Pioneer web site. Any ideas? Thanks. Ron |

Maybe it is pointing out local brothels? i.e.: Hairy Dish. Could be a symbol
