3. Rotate the Interface Dial knob to
select the type of unit you want to
convert (for exampl e, weight) and
push in on the dial to select. The
screen for that conversion type
appears (see illustrat ion in step 4). 4. Select the base unit (like pounds) that
you wish to convert to some other

lbs converts to 1600 ounces, 0.05 ton

physically impossible values.

Database Limitations
You will find that some points of
interest (POI) may be missing when you
search the database. This can be caused
if at the time the database was gathered,
the name was misspelled, the place was
improperly categorized, or the POI
change is not yet in the database. This
means you may not find places listed
that you know exist. This is also true for
police agencies and hospitals. In
outlying areas, facilities listed may not
be the closest. Always check with local
information sources if you need law
enforcement or hospital services.
Every effort has been made to verify
that the system’s database was accurate
at the time it was created. However,
businesses do fail or move to new
locations, and new businesses start in
the old locations. For this reason, you
may occasionally find “inaccurate”
information when you select and drive
to a point of interest (for example, a
restaurant is now a jewelry store). The
number of these inaccuracies increases
the longer you go without an update. The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various
points in time before production.
Accordingly, your
DVD may contain
inaccurate or inco mplete data or
information due to the passage of time,
road construction, ch anging conditions,
or other causes.
Due to ongoing software and database
improvements, navigation disc versions
may change in the middle of a
production year. The version shipped
with your vehicle was the most recent
available at the time of production, and
is considered standard equipment for
that vehicle. There is no free program to
retrofit early production vehicles with
the latest disc. For DVD ordering
information, see page117. In addition, this database does not
include, analyze, proc
ess, consider, or
reflect any of the following categories
of information:
Neighborhood quality or safety
Population density
Availability or proximity of law enforcement
Emergency, rescue, medical, or other assistance
Construction work, zones, or hazards
Road and lane closures
Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, load, height, and speed
restrictions)
Road slope or grade
Bridge height, width, weight, or other limits
Road, traffic or traffic facilities safety, or conditions
Weather conditions
Special events
Pavement characteristics or conditions
