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
personal 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 loca tion, and return to
the same spot.

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 page
