— The route may not connect completely at
some waypoints.
— The route may require a U-turn close to some
waypoints.
Route calculation may not be completed in
the following cases.
— If there is no main road within a range of 1.5
miles (2.5 km) from the vehicle, a message
saying so will appear on the screen. Try
requesting route calculation when the vehicle
is closer to the main road.
— If there is no main road within a range of 1.5
miles (2.5 km) from the destination or way-
point, a message saying so will appear on the
screen. Try setting the location closer to the
main road.
— If the vehicle is too close to the destination or
if there are no branches of the roads to the
destination. A message saying so will appear
on the screen.
— If it is deemed impossible to reach the des-
tination or waypoints because of traffic regu-
lations, etc.
— If the only route to reach the destination or
waypoints is extremely complicated.
— If the destination, current vehicle position or
waypoint is within the avoid area.— If the setting of avoid areas covers the routes
to the destination, route calculation may not
be possible.
The following may occur when the route is
being displayed.
— If you are requesting a calculation from the
main road, the origin of the route may not
exactly match the current vehicle position.
— If you are requesting a calculation to a des-
tination on the main road, the end of the route
may not exactly match the destination.
— If you are requesting a calculation from the
main road, the system may show a route from
another main road. This may be because the
icon to show the current vehicle position
(vehicle icon) is not set accurately. In that
case, park the car in a safe place and reset
the vehicle icon, or continue driving to see if
the vehicle icon appears on the main road
before requesting route calculation again.
— There are cases in which the system shows a
detoured route to reach the destination or
waypoints, if you set them from memory or
facility information. In order to correct this,
you will have to be careful about the traffic
direction, especially when the lanes with dif-
ferent travel directions are shown separately.Such places are interchanges and service
areas.
— This system makes no distinction between
limited traffic control and total control (block-
age). It may show a detoured route even if the
road is usable.
— Even if the freeway preference is set to OFF,
the route may be set on them. To avoid this,
set a waypoint on another road type and
request calculation.
— Even if the preference is set to OFF for a ferry
line, the route may be set on it. To avoid this,
set a waypoint on a road and request calcu-
lation.
— Ferry lines, except those which accept only
pedestrians, bicycles and motorcycles, are
stored in this system. When using them, take
into consideration the travel time required
and operational condition to decide whether
to use them or not.
ABOUT THE DISPLAY ERRORThe following cases may affect the display ac-
curacy of the vehicle’s position or travel direc-
tion. The accuracy will return to normal if the
driving conditions return to normal.
— When there is a similar road nearby.
— When the vehicle is traveling on a long
