58Navigation System
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 page
52) or using
voice commands (see page
132).
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 page
132 .
One-Way Traffic Icon
The one-way traffic icons are only
shown on the 1/20 mile scale and only
when turned on in Icon Options (see
page

Navigation System95
System Set-up
Correct Vehicle Position
The system relies on satellites for
positioning information. Buildings,
tunnels, and other objects can block or
reflect these signals, requiring the
system to use “dead reckoning” to
determine your location and direction.
This can sometimes lead to small errors
in positioning, such as showing you on
an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle
position is not recommended. When the
system acquires a GPS signal, it will
automatically place the vehicle in the
correct location. If you choose to do this, follow these
steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Select
Adjust, and the system will
display a map adjustment screen.
3. Use the ZOOM buttons and the
joystick to move the location
arrowhead to the correct location.
Touch the arrow buttons on the
bottom of the screen to rotate the
direction arrows so the vehicle
position is pointin g in the correct
direction. NOTE:
If you continually have to do this, there
are either problems in the database or
GPS reception problems. See
Accessories Precautions
on page
5 .
4. When you have finished, press the joystick or select Done to return to
the previous screen.
5. As you drive, the current road will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
