Guidance Screen
The guidance screen offers an
alternative way to view your route
information. Many of the icons and
screen features are similar to those on
the map screen. While driving to your
destination, press the MAP/GUIDE
button to switch to the guidance
screen. The guidance screen shows
you:
Milestone to Destination – the position
of the small circular icon shows your
trip progress. As you get closer to your
destination, the indicator will approach
“DEST.”
Vehicle Heading – the white portion of
the compass symbol indicates north.
NOTE:
 The map and voice guidance in unverified areas differ from those in
verified areas.
 Current maneuvers and those within 1000 feet will show on the
Countdown bar, indicating the
distance until the next maneuver.

Navigation System51
Driving to Your Destination
Distance and Time to
Destination
When you select a destination, the
distance to the destination is the actual
road distance of the calculated route,
and “not as the crow flies.” When
viewing a list of destinations (points of
interest), such as restaurants, the
distance is “as the crow flies” (see Sort
by Distance to Travel on page34).
The displayed time to destination may
differ from the actual travel time
because the time is calculated based on
the posted road speed data and your
current speed. If part of your route
includes unverified roads, the “distance”
and “time to go” fo r that portion is
estimated using 25 mph as an average
speed.
Direction List
When you press the MAP/GUIDE
button on the guidance screen, the
display changes to:
NOTE:
 The map and voice guidance in unverified areas differ from those in
verified areas. See Unverified Area
Routing on page81.
 Only maneuvers that occur at freeway exits or contain freeway exit
information will show the exit info
icon (“i” icon) on the right end of the
items in the Direction list. If no exit
info icon is shown on the list, the Exit
Info. is grayed out. You can see the Direction list and the
distance to each maneuver. Press the
MAP/GUIDE button to return to the
map
screen.
You can scroll through the Direction list
by screen or by using the scroll bar, or
one instruction at a time, using the
joystick.

52Navigation System
EXIT INFO (Freeway Exit
Information)
You can search freeway exit
information and add new destinations or
waypoints to the calculated route as a
new destination or waypoint. The exit
info icon (“i” icon) on the right end of
the items in the Direction list indicates
that there is freeway exit information
available. Say or select Exit Info., and
choose the exit and place to set as a new
destination or waypoint.
On the map screen, you can display
freeway exit information using the
joystick. The exit info icon will only be
displayed on the map screen if there is
any freeway exit information available.
Choose the 1/4, 1/2, and 1 mile scale,
then move the cross hairs to the desired
exit info icon and click on it. Choose a
place from the list and set as a new
destination or waypoint.
NOTE:
To turn on “Freeway exit information”
on the map screen, display the icon bar
and select the “i” icon (see page57).
Split Screen Guidance
When on route to a destination, you
have two display options: single screen
mode (the factory default) and the split
screen mode.
Single screen mode – a map is
displayed with occasional guidance
pop-up windows as you approach a
maneuver.
Split screen mode – the map is always
displayed on the left of the screen, and
the maneuver or direction list is
displayed on the right hand side of the
screen.
Guidance mode can be changed in either
Setup (see Guidance Mode on page88),
or by accessing the icon bar (see
Guidance Mode on page57). When you get near the maneuver, the
map
screen changes to:
On the map screen, the location of the
maneuver is marked with a small yellow
square. The guidance window is simply
an enlargement of th e area indicated by
the yellow square. After you complete
the maneuver, the display returns to a
full map screen when the single screen
mode is set, or to a map and direction
list screen when the split screen mode is
set.

54Navigation System
Map Orientation
The map can be orientated two ways:
 North-up: North pointing up as you would normally view a paper map.
 Heading-up: The map constantly rotates so the road you are driving on
always points up as you see the road
through your front windshield.
NOTE:
The red arrow in both heading symbols
always shows the direction north. Touch the Map Orientation icon on the
map
screen to switch between the
available orientation, or say “Display
heading up” or “Display north up.”
In the larger map scales (above
1 mile or 1.6 kilometer), the map is
always oriented with north facing
upward. You cannot change the
orientation.
To view other areas on the map, move
the joystick left, right, up, or down. The
map will shift in that direction. To
return the map to your current location,
press either the MAP/GUIDE, the
CANCEL , or the NAVI BACK button
on the steering wheel. The display automati
cally changes to
the map screen when you reach your
destination. Press the MENU button to
return to the Enter destination by
screen.
NOTE:
 For information on the available voice commands, see Voice
Command Index on page131.
 If you are on a route and the joystick is moved, the “Time to Destination”
and “Distance to Destination”
indications are re placed with an
indicator showing distance from the
current vehicle location.

Navigation System55
Driving to Your Destination
Destination Icon
The destination icon only shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block.) Since most cities
use only a portion of the 100 possible
addresses (for example, in the 1400
block, the addresses may only go up to
1425 before the 1500 block starts).
Therefore, the address 1425 will be
shown a quarter of the way down the
block by the system instead of near the
end of the block where the destination is
actually located.
Tip:
When on a route, you can view a map
showing your destination. Using voice
control, say “Display destination map.”
Landmark Icons
Landmark icons are shown in the map
screen on 1/20 and 1/8 mile scale, or 80
and 200 meter scale. The Freeway exit
information is displayed on the 1/4, 1/2,
and 1 mile scales. The icons are:
Some icons can be turned on or off;
you can either display them or hide
them from the ICON button on the
lower left corner (see page49) or using
voice commands (see page131). You can select most landmark icons
with the joystick to display the icon’s
information. See the table on the
following page for exceptions.
NOTE:
 The same list can be viewed on the
screen by selecting Map Legend
from the Information screen.
 When there are overlapping landmark icons, a list of the points of
interest (POIs) is displayed.
 For information on the available voice commands, see Voice
Command Index on page131.
One-Way Traffic Icon
The one-way traffic icons (see Map
Screen Legend on page49) are only
shown on the 1/20 mile scale and only
when turned on in Icon Options (see
page57).
