 Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page
65)

Other Map Issues
 See the coverage section for a list of islands with coverage (see page
111)
 The map scale “traffic” indicator, shown beneath the map scale bar,
may show at vehicle start, but
disappear later. This is normal.  Freeway Exit information does not
exist in Hawaii, so if the “Freeway
Exit Info” icon is shown on the icon
bar, the button may be selected, but
there is no data for Hawaii.
Address and POI Entry Screens
When in Hawaii, the following
differences occur for map, address, and
POI selection:
 It is not possible to enter US mainland addresses or scroll the map
east to the US mainland.
 Selection of the “State” is confined to the state of Hawaii only
 Entry of a destination address or POI on an island other than your current
island may result in a screen caution
message. This is normal because
there are no “ferry” routes between
islands available in the database.
 If the “Guidance Prompts” setting on the main Setup screen is set to
normal or maximum, street names
will not be spoken in voice guidance
commands.
Setup Screen Differences
The Setup screen differences are minor,
and are listed below. See the Setup
section (page
78) for additional
information.
Routing and Guidance (Unverified
Area Routing On/Off)
This feature is unavailable. All roads
displayed on the map are verified.
Clock Adjust Screen
There is no Daylight Savings Time for
Hawaii. In the Setup Clock
adjustment screen, ensure that the
Auto Daylight Saving Time setting
is Off . To test your adjustment, use the
voice control system, and say, “What
time is it?” (see page
98) .
