Navigation System81
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 page6). The chart below illustrates the rou ting 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 navi
gate manually by using the
navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to
the destination. The driver understands that
unverified roads may not be accurate, and can contain
errors in location, naming, and address range. The driver chooses to let the na
vigation system suggest possible
routing. The driver understands th at in some cases guidance may
not be appropria te. Unverified roads ma y 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 ma p to select streets that
lead to the destination. A blue-pink dashed route line
highlights suggested unverified
streets on the map while traveling to your destination. This is in
sharp contrast to the normal blue route line displayed in verified
areas.
Cautionary
messages There 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 sc
reens and voice announcements,
before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you
should exercise additional ca ution, and obey all traffic
restrictions.
Guidance
(map/voice) There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance. Voi
ce guidance commands end with the words “If possible.”
This is to remind the driver to verify all traffi c restrictions
before making a maneuver.
Directions
list A direction list is typicall
y not available. However,
depending on your route, dire ctions 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 Setup screen (second). The
next few pages contain an example of a
route to a destinatio n 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.

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.

Navigation System83
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”

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:
There is no VOICE button shown on the
screen. With Unverified Area Routing
“Off,” no Direction List is provided.

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 five areas to avoid. You may wish
to set up an “avoid area” 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, for the setup item
“Edit Avoid Area,” the following list
screen is displayed:
You can select New Area, or select (by
touch) 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
keyboard 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 th e area you wish to
avoid. After selecting the choice, a map
screen will be displayed.
Use the ZOOM buttons to select the
map scale (available scales are 1/20, 1/
8, and 1/4 mile scales).
Use the joystick to move the crosshairs
(red circle) to the desired start point and
push in the joystick to “set” the start
point. Then move the joystick in a
straight or diagonal direction to
encompass the area to be avoided. NOTE:
The maximum size of the “Avoid area”
is 1/4 of the navigation display screen
regardless of the map scale setting.
The selected area will be displayed as a
shaded box with an orange border. Push
in on the joystick to set the end point of
the avoided area. To “re-draw” the area,
touch
Cancel and repeat the area
selection process. If your selected area
contains a freeway, the system will
prompt you with a pop-up box saying,
“Do you want to avoid freeways?” Answering “No” allo
ws you to enter a
route through an avoided area on a
freeway, and skip the “Avoid area
caution box” (see Pop-ups and
Disclaimers on page61).
Say or select Done to return to the Edit
area screen. When you return, the
“Vicinity” field is automatically filled in
by the system. Re-edit the area “Name”
if desired. Select Done on the Edit
avoid area screen to finish editing.
Your new avoided ar ea will now appear
on the “Avoid area” list screen, and be
viewable on the map screen.

Navigation System87
NOTE:
 You can select areas to avoid,
however you cannot select roads or
areas that you want the system to use
for routing.
 If you are drawing a box around a road as an area to avoid, ensure the
following: When you draw the box,
make sure that the road or portion of
a road that you encircled includes an
intersection. For instance, in the
example below, highway 213 will be
avoided, but Van Ness will not be
avoided because it lacks an
intersection in the enclosed box.Edit Waypoint Search Area
When driving on route to your
destination, you can select a temporary
destination “waypoint” (marked with a
small flag on the map) along your route
for gas, a restaurant, or other POI. When
you resume your trip from the
“waypoint,” the syst em continues the
trip to your original destination. To use
this feature, see Waypoints on page62.
This Setup item allows you to select the
distance from your highlighted route
line (on either side of your route), that
the system will search for a “waypoint.”
From the Routing & Guidance screen,
select Edit for “Edit Waypoint Search
Area,” and then choose the desired
search distance for either “On
Freeways” or “On Surface Street.” The diagram below shows how the
system handles the search for “Places
Along the Route” or “Places Around the
Destination” (see
Waypoints on
page62).

For “Places Along the Route,” the
system looks in fron t of you within a
corridor width specified by your values
for “On Freeways” or “On Surface
Street.” The system checks the
upcoming area, based on your input.
For “Places Around the Destination,”
the system searches outwards in a spiral
from the destination. In this case,
specific search values are not needed;
the matches are displayed in order of
distance from destination.
NOTE:
These settings do not affect the search
range used for the voice commands like,
“Find nearest gas station,” that are
also available wh en viewing the map
