data, and the POI (Points Of Interest)
data stored on the DVD.

for a list of these areas. Digitized Road -
A road that appears on

map.
GPS Antenna - Located in the center of
the dash. Electronic items operating
in this general location can interfere
with the GPS signal.
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

Off Route - This occurs when the user
leaves mapped roads. Off road
tracking dots (“breadcrumbs”) are
displayed if the option is enabled in
the Set up screen. The user can use
them to return to a mapped road. The
bottom of the navigation screen will
say “Not on a digitized road” Outlying Areas -
These are rural areas
that typically have only their main
roads mapped. All other roads are
shown in light brown for reference
only, since they have not been
verified.

sensitive resistive membrane with an
infinite number of possible touch
locations. The sensing locations are
confined to a grid of 20 vertical and
10 horizontal touch locations.
Unverified Streets - These streets have
not been verified for turn restrictions,
one-way, etc. They are shown in light
brown on the map. Unverified streets
may be missing from the map, shown

incorrect name or address range.
Vehicle Speed Sensor - Provides speed
