Unverified Area Routing
Allows you to receive turn-by-turn map and voice guidance in unverified areas when on route to a destination (see Map Overview
on page 6). The chart below illustrates th e routing differences with this setting ON or OFF .
Unverified Area Routing: OFF (factory default) Unverified Area Routing: ON
Decision:
Why choose
ON or OFF ?
The driver wishes to navigate manually by using the
navigation map and choosing th e streets that lead to the
destination. The driver un derstands that unverified
roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range. The driver chooses to let th
e navigation system suggest
possible routing. The driver understands that in some
cases guidance may not be appropriate. Unverified
roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range.
What you will
see...A blue dotted vector line is displayed on the map that
continually points to your destination. The driver
should stop and then use the map to select streets that
lead to the destination. A blue-pink dashed route line highlights suggested
unverified streets on the ma
p while traveling to your
destination. This is in sharp contrast to the normal blue
route line displayed in verified areas.
Cautionary
messagesThere are cautionary pop-up screens and voice
announcements, before and during the route. These
serve as reminders that you should obey all traffic
restrictions. There are cautionary pop-
up screens and voice
announcements, before and during the route. These
serve as reminders that you should exercise additional
caution, and obey all traffic restrictions.
Guidance
(map/voice)There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidan ce. Voice guidance commands end with the words “If
possible.” This is to remind the driver to verify all
traffic restrictions before making a maneuver.
Directions listA direction list is typically not available. However,
depending on your route, directions are provided to
help you reach the first available verified road. A direction list is provided showing street names and
turn symbols in pink.

Unverified Area Routing
When driving to your destination, you
have the choice of using or not using
“unverified” roads. You make this
choice in the Setup screen. The next
few pages contain an example of a route
to a destination in an unverified area
explaining the routing differences found
in unverified areas.
With Unverified Area Routing OFF ,
the system tries to use verified roads
whenever possible. In this example,
since only verified streets are used, it
created a longer rout e than necessary.
With Unverified Area Routing ON ,
the route is shorter, but consists of
unverified (light colored) streets that
may not be accurate. Because the streets
are unverified, there may be errors in
street location, name, or address range.
Additional caution is recommended in
these areas. Always obey posted traffic
restrictions. Because both routes bypass or use
unverified streets, an initial
Disclaimer
screen is provided. It is recommended
that you stop and review the map.
Unverified Area Routing “OFF” Unverified Area
Routing “ON”
NOTE:
Unverified roads are shown only when
viewing the map in the 1/20, 1/8 and 1/4
mile map scales, or the 80, 200 and 400
meter map scales.

94Navigation System
System Set-up
With Unverified Area Routing OFF ,
the driver chose to take a shortcut, and
avoid the long route. The moment you
enter an unverified street, a caution box
appears on the screen, and is read by the
voice. This lets you know that you are
about to enter an unverified area and
that you will be following a dotted
“vector line” that points to your
destination.
With Unverified Area Routing ON ,
a caution box appear s on the screen and
is read by the voice. In this case you will
be presented with a dashed blue/pink
line instead of the regular blue route
line. You cannot assume that all
guidance is appropriate. This is your
signal to pay attention to posted traffic
restrictions.
In both cases, when you actually enter
the unverified street, a short caution will
remind you. You will see and hear this
short caution message whenever you
enter unverified areas. Unverified Area Routing “OFF” Unverified Area Routing “ON”

Navigation System95
System Set-up
With Unverified Area Routing OFF ,
you are presented with a blue “vector
line” that always points to the
destination. You must manually choose
streets from the map that will lead to
your destination. No guidance is
provided, and there are no directions to
the destination.
With Unverified Area Routing ON ,
a blue/pink route line is shown for
unverified segments. Voice guidance
commands in unverified areas always
end with “if possible.” This is your
signal that you should use additional
caution, and obey all traffic restrictions.
The maneuver window “arrow” shows
any portions of unverified turns in blue/
pink dashes.
These guidance maneuvers are only a
suggestion. You should always confirm
that the maneuver is possible. A
direction list is also provided that shows
any unverified roads in a blue color,
with pink arrows pointing to the next
maneuver. Unverified Area Routing “OFF”
NOTE:
For the pop-up menu displayed when
pushing in on the
Interface Dial from
the map screen, Voice and
Directions are grayed out. With
Unverified Area Routing “OFF,” no
Direction List is provided. Unverified Area
Routing “ON”

Edit Avoid Area
This function allows you to select areas
you wish to avoid when calculating a
route to your destination. You can select
up to 5 areas to avoid. You may wish to
set up an “avoid ar ea” to route around
long term road construction, closures, or
any area you wish to avoid. If you enter
a route that takes you through or into an
“avoid area,” a pop-up box will warn
you that your route takes you into one of
these areas. However, you can still
choose destinations in an avoided area.
When you select Edit Avoid Area , the
following list screen is displayed. You can select
NEW AREA, or select
one of your existing areas to modify. If
you choose NEW AREA , the following
screen is displayed:
Say or select Edit Name, and use the
Interface Dial to enter the name on the
Enter avoid area name screen (19
characters max). Say or select DONE to
return to the previous screen. Say or select Edit Area
, to create the
area to be avoided. The following screen
appears.
Either select Address or Map Input
on the Enter avoid area by screen.
Each choice provides a slightly different
way to locate the approximate map
display for drawing the area you wish to
avoid.
