Introduction
Verified streets (dark colored) Unverified streets (light colored)
When
displayed These roads are found within
metropolitan areas, and
include interstate freeways and major roads
connecting cities. These roads are found in rural
areas, and typically include
residential street s away from the center of a town.
Street color Shown on daytime
map screen as black or red, such as
interstate freeways. Shown on the daytime
map screen as light brown.
Map Quality The database vendor has
verified these streets.
Information like tu rn restrictions, average speed, and
whether it is a one way street have been gathered and
used when creating your route to a destination. These streets have not been veri
fied by the database vendor. The
system does not contain inform ation on one-way streets, turn
restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown on the
map for reference and can have e rrors in map location, naming,
and address range.
Routing
differences While driving to your destin
ation, the displayed route
line is solid blue. The system provides voice and map
guidance to your destination. Your route line is either a blue
dotted “vector line,” or a dashed
pink/blue line. For information on selecting this option, and the
routing differences, see Unverified Area Routing on page
82.
Cautions There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during
a route. However, because
roads constantly change,
you are urged to use common sense, and always obey
posted traffic restrictions. Regardless of whether the user c
hooses route guidance, there are
cautionary screens before and dur ing the route urging the user to
be extra cautious, and obey a ll traffic restrictions. See Unverified
Area Routing on page82.
Guidance
voice Voice guidance issues maneuvers such as “In a half
mile make a right turn.” The suffix “if possible” is adde
d to each guidance maneuver. For
example: “In a half mile make a right turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go” The time and distance “t
o go,” displayed while on
route to a destination, is based on the average speed
and distance for the roads used for your route. Because the average speed of thes
e roads is not known, the time
and distance “to go” is based on a fixed average speed of 25 mph
for these roads.

Driving to Your Destination
After calculating the route with the new
method, the system displays a map of
your current location. The calculated
route will be highlighted as a blue line,
and a voice prompt will tell you how to
proceed along the hi ghlighted route.
Touch Voice to have the guidance
repeated.Viewing the Destination Map
Touching View Dest. Map displays a
map of the destination vicinity. Press the
CANCEL or NAVI BACK button to
return. You can view the destination
map anytime while on route saying
“Display destination map.”
Map Screen
When you select OK on the Calculate
route to screen, the map screen
appears, showing your highlighted route
in real time.
Route Line
When driving to a destination on
verified roads in a metropolitan area, the
route line is displayed as a blue line.
When driving in rural areas on
unverified streets (light brown color),
the route line changes to either a blue
dotted “vector line” pointing to your
destination, or a blue-pink line. See
Unverified Area Routing on page82 for
a detailed expl anation of how to enable
unverified routing, and the related
cautions and disclaimers.
NOTE:
You can always view the entire route by
simply saying, “Display entire route.”

Guidance Prompts
As you get near the maneuver, you will
hear a voice reminder, and see a pop-up
window showing you the maneuver.
The number of reminders that you will
hear before a maneuver is determined
by Guidance Prompts in Setup on
page74.
With the factory default (Normal),
typically you will hear two prompts:
 The first is about 1/4 mile from the maneuver.
 The final prompt is close to your actual turn.
If the distance between the next two
driving maneuvers is very small, both
maneuvers are displayed on the screen
in a single window, and the voice will
remind you of both of them at the same
time. NOTE:
 You can say “Voice” or select
Voice
on the screen at any time to be
reminded of the next maneuver.
 Typically a pop-up guidance window shows your next turn, and a voice
guidance prompt is heard. The timing
of these prompts varies, depending on
the type of road you are on, and the
distance to your next maneuver.
When given guidance in unverified
areas, the words, “If Possible,” are
inserted before each guidance prompt.
See Unverified Area Routing on page82
for more details about unverified
routing.

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
page125 for the available
“Display” and “Hide” icon
command.
