For instance, let’s assume that your
hospital is not displa yed on the map, and
you want to make sure that your settings
are correct. You would do the
following:
 First you would ensure that the “OTHER ICON” button on the Icon
bar is blue (See Icon Bar above).
 Second, you select Icon Options
and verify that hospital option is also
on (blue). This procedure is explained
below.
If you select Other Icons from the
Select category for icon settings
screen, the other icons options are
displayed: In the example above, POST OFFICE
and
SCHOOL are selected and will
show up on the map. To also see
HOSPITAL on the map, this would
need to be turned on to select it so it
appears as below.
Exit, and save your settings by selecting
Done . NOTE:
 When viewing the
map screen, you
can turn some icons on using voice
control.
 See Voice Command Index on see
page132 for the available
“Display” and “Hide” icon
command.

Driving to Your Destination
Going Off the Route
If you leave the calculated route,
“Recalculating...” is displayed at the top
of the screen. The system will
recalculate the route from your current
location and direction to the desired
destination then give you a new route
instruction. This is done automatically if
you have set Rerouting to Automatic
on the Setup screen (second) (see
page80).
If the Rerouting option in Setup is set
to Manual , “Off route” appears at the
top of the screen when you leave the
calculated route. Sa y “Recalculate,” or
touch the Recalculation button
whenever you want the system to
perform a recalculation.
Off-road Tracking
If you drive more than half a mile from
a mapped road, “Not on a digitized
road.” appears at the bottom of the
screen.
The map screen starts displaying a
series of dots (breadcrumbs) to show the
path you have taken if Off-road
Tracking on the Setup screen (second)
is set to On (see page88). By following the dots, you can
backtrack to the mapped road you
originally left. “Breadcrumbs” may
occasionally be displayed in urban
areas, such as larg
e parking lots in
shopping malls, or in new subdivisions
where the roads are not yet in the
database. In other cases you may see
dots, if the system temporary goes off
route, like in a parking garage where the
GPS signal is unavailable.
These dots appear only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile (or 80, 200, 400, and
800 meter) map scales.
Use the ZOOM buttons to change scales
if necessary.
Tracking continues for approximately
150 miles; dots at the beginning of the
trail will start disappearing when you
exceed that distance . When you reach a
mapped road, th e system stops
displaying dots.

Viewing/Saving the Current
Location
Whenever you are on a map screen, you
can always obtain your current location
either by touching the Vehicle Position
icon or by using the voice control
system and saying “Display current
location.” A screen pops up which
shows the address of your current
location, as well as the latitude,
longitude, and elevation. NOTE:
The elevation will not appear when the
system is temporarily lacking proper
GPS information. The system elevation
may not agree with elevations shown on
roadside elevation signs, and may
fluctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more.
You can store the current location for
later use. It does not change or cancel
your current route.
For example, you
are following the
system’s directions to get to a
destination. While sitting at a stoplight
you notice a curio shop on the corner,
but do not have time to visit it right now.
You can save the location to select as a
destination at a later date. To save the location, say “Save current
location” or select
Save on the screen.
When you select “User 1” or “User 2,”
the Edit address book screen with the
current location data will appear. You
can edit the name, phone number, or
category name to be saved in your
Address Book.
After the location is saved, select
Return to return to the map screen.
You can then use Address Book from
the Enter destination by screen to
select the saved location, and return to
the same spot.

Pop-ups and Disclaimers
When you say “OK” in the Calculate
Route to screen, or if you change your
route, the system checks your route and
provides you with “pop-up” messages
for the following situation:
 Your route takes you into an area that you previously set as an “Avoid
Area” (see Edit Avoid Area on
page85).  Your route passes near an unverified
area (see Unverified Area Routing on
page81).
 Your route includes unverified areas (see Unverified Area Routing on
page81).  You are about to enter an unverified
area (see Unverified Area Routing on
page81).
 You actually ente red an unverified
area (see Unverified Area Routing on
page81).

Changing the Route
While on route, you may wish to alter
your route, add an interim “Waypoint”
(pit stop), choose a different destination,
or cancel your current destination.
To change your present route, you can
do any of the following:
Say “Menu,” or press the MENU button
to view the Change route by screen:
 Add a waypoint or pit stop (page63).
 Delete waypoints (page64)
 Avoid a certain street or streets (page64).
 Detour (page64).
 Change routing method (page64).
 Cancel the current route (page65).
 Back to the current route (page65). Choose a different destination (other
methods):
 Saying, “Find nearest...” to find a POI
(page65).
 Saying, “Go home” (page65).
 Using the joystick to select a different POI or address on the map (page65).
Pressing the MENU button twice to get to the Enter destination by
screen (page66).
Change Route By Screen
Pressing the MENU button displays the
Change route by screen:
Waypoints
Waypoints allow you to add an interim
“pit stop” while traveling to a
destination. For inst ance, you may want
to stop for gas or food, and then
continue on to your destination.
Although you can enter up to five
waypoints at a time, typically you may
never use more than one at a time.
Waypoints are routed to in the order
they were entered (number 1 first, etc.),
with your final destination routed to last.
If you wish to create a custom route of
several destinations , and then control
the order of routing, the function
“Today’s Destinations” is probably a
better choice (see By Today’s
Destinations on page40).

When you enter waypoi nts, they appear
on the map screen as small red flags
numbered 1-5.Adding Waypoints
From the Change route by screen, if
you say or select Search Places on

method screen is displayed. Select
either Places Along the Route or
Places Around the Destination.
Next, select your “Waypoint Category,”
then follow the menu prompts to select a
destination. When the system performs
a search from Places Along the
Route , it displays matches that lie
within a corridor on either side and in
front of you, along your route. From
Places Around the
Destination , the system displays
matches in a spiral pattern outward from
the destination. Th e search “corridor”
distance value can be changed in Edit
Waypoint Search Area in Setup (see
page87).
To add another waypoint, press the
MENU button and repeat the procedure.
If Search Places on Route is grayed
out, the maximum of five waypoints has
been entered.
NOTE:
The system does not allow you to select
the roads you want to use to get to a
destination. However, after you enter a
destination, you can select intersections
or POI “waypoints” that the system will
use to “tailor” your route.

Reroute: Avoid Streets
From the Change route by screen, if

get you to your destination. This feature
allows you to avoid a street or streets
along your route. This is helpful if you
know of road construction, closures, or
excessive traffic along the route. Simply
select the street or streets you wish to
avoid. You cannot avoid your current
street, or the streets of your waypoint(s)
or destination (system beeps if selected).
NOTE:
Although you can choose streets to
avoid, you cannot choose specific
streets you want to use.
Reroute: Detour
Calculates a detour route for you if you
encounter an unexp ected obstacle such
as a closed road or extremely heavy

(while on a freeway) or 1/2 mile (while
on a surface street).
Reroute: Change Routing
