Frequently Asked Questions
While I drive, my screen shows white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
on it. What do they mean? These are called “breadcrumbs.”
If you drive more than 1/2 mile from
mapped roads, the off-road tracking feature begins to function. See Off-road
Tracking on page
62 and 94.
How can I get rid of the whit e dots (“breadcrumbs”) from my
screen? Go to “Vehicle” in the
Setup screen (second), and set Off-road Tracking
to Off , then return to the map. See page
94.
A road that I selected to avoid is being used when routing.
What is wrong? When you “draw” your area to avoid, make
sure to select sections of roads
that include at least one intersection. See page
91.
When I arrive at my destination, the “bulls-eye” is shown at a
different location on the street. Why? The system calculates the “bulls-eye
” location based on the street address
range allocated for that street. See Destination Icon on page
58 fo r an
example.
My elevation (shown when I t ouch the vehicle position icon)
seems to fluctuate even though my elevation has not changed. This is normal, and due to errors in sa
tellite position. The elevation can vary
+/- 100 feet. See System Limitations on page
103.
My elevation is missing on th e “current position” screen.
Why? If the GPS antenna cannot receive at least four satellites, the elevation is not
displayed. Try moving the vehicle into
an open area. If the elevation is zero,
or below sea level, the elev ation is also not displayed.

Glossary
Glossary
The following is a glossary of terms
pertaining to the voice recognition
navigation system.
Avoid Area - Areas you wish to avoid
can be entered into the system, and
will be avoided while routing.
Breadcrumbs - Off road tracking dots
that can be followe d on the map to
retrace your route back to a mapped
(digitized) road. This function can be
turned on/off in Setup screen
(second).
Database - This consists of the map
data, and the POI (Points Of Interest)
data stored on the DVD.
DCA - Detailed Coverage Area. The
main metropolitan areas in the lower
48 states, and southern Canada are
mapped to this level. See page
110
for a list of these areas. Digitized Road -
A road that appears on
the navigation screen. The road name
will appear at the bottom of the
navigation screen. If the user drives
“off road,” the navigation system will
display “breadcrumbs,” depending on
how far you drive from a mapped
road.
Disclaimer Screen - Screen containing
cautionary information. It is meant to
be read carefully and acknowledged
by the customer when using the
navigation system.
DVD or DVD-ROM - Digital Versatile
Disc. The navigation program and
database resides on this disc. For
information on how to order a
replacement or update DVD, see
page
108.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions. See
page
121 fo r a list of the customer
FAQs, and troubleshooting
information. GPS -
Global Positioning System. A
network of 24 satellites in orbit
around the earth. The navigation
system can simultaneously receive
signals from up to 12 satellites to
accurately position the vehicle on the
map.
GPS Antenna - Located in the center of
the dash. Electronic items operating
in this general location can interfere
with the GPS signal.
HFL - Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®.
Only the Touring model is equipped
with this feature, which uses
Bluetooth technology as a wireless
link between the vehicle and your
Bluetooth compatible cell phone.
Icon - Symbol representing Points of
Interest (POI) that can be displayed
on the map.
Initialization - This refers to the period
needed to reacquire the GPS satellite
orbital information whenever the
navigation system power has been
disconnected. This can take 10 to 45
minutes with the vehicle out in an
open area.
