Vehicle
From the Set up screen (second), say or
select Vehicle and the following screen
appears:
Off-road Tracking
With this On, the system will provide
white off-road tracking dots
(“breadcrumbs”) on the map screen
whenever you drive into an area where
the map does not show any roads.
See Map Screen Legend on page18. After you have traveled approximately
1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the
system will display a series of white
dots on the
map screen to show the path
you have traveled. This is provided so
you can follow the dots to backtrack to
the mapped road you originally left.
Tracking continues until you reach a
mapped road. See Off-road Tracking on
page57.
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile, or the 80, 200, 400,
and 800 meter scales. Use the ZOOM
buttons to change the scales if
necessary.
NOTE:
To clear existing dots , turn this feature
off and exit Set up. To re-enable this
feature, return to Set up and turn it on
again.

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 page5.
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.
