Maps This section includes basic information that you need to
know about the map database.
The maps are stored on a DVD. The United States,
Canada, and Puerto Rico are contained on one disc.
Detailed Areas Road network attributes are contained in the
map database for detailed areas. Attributes include
information such as street names, street address,
turn restrictions, etc. A detailed area includes all
major highways, service roads, and residential roads.
The detailed areas include points of interest (POI) such
as: restaurants, airports, banks, hospitals, police stations,
gas stations, tourist attractions, historical monuments,
etc. The map database may not include data for newly
constructed areas or map database corrections that are
completed after the production of the disc. The navigation
system provides full route guidance in the detailed map
areas.

Limited Guidance Areas Any area that is not classied as detailed, is a limited
guidance area. Limited guidance streets are displayed on
the map but route guidance may not be given on these
streets. Some POI categories, such as the city center POI
category, and some street addresses are included in the
limited guidance areas.
The navigation system informs through voice prompts
when you are traveling into a limited guidance area
where route guidance is not available. The street maps
and the directional arrow displayed on the navigation
system can then be used to determine the remaining
route to your destination.
Installing the DVD Map Disc When a DVD Map Disc is installed, noise from the disc
may occur, this is normal system operation.
The navigation system in this vehicle uses a DVD to
store map information. When the system loads data from
the disc, you may hear a very slight buzz sound from the navigation system. The sound is similar to that of a CD
player seeking through different tracks. This is normal
operation and may occur more frequently with the use
of XM NavTraffic.
Your dealer/retailer may have installed the map DVD.
If the map DVD was not installed, do the following
to load it:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press the
O (power) knob to turn the navigation
system on or press the NAV, DEST, or MENU
hard keys. If the MENU hard key is selected, press
and hold until the NAV screen is active, or select
the NAV tab manually.
3. Load the map DVD partway into the slot located
just below the screen. The system will pull it in.
4. Touch the OK screen button to agree to the Caution
screen, if it appears. If the map is in split screen
mode, you must push the NAV tab button to get
the full map screen.

screen buttons or the scale on the bar to change the

256 mi. (400 km). To change English or metric, see
DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-48 for more
information.

map screen and the scroll

feature to scroll across
the map. Move your nger in any direction on the map screen
and the map continues to scroll in that direction until
you remove your nger from the screen.

scrolls initially at a slower rate. It increases if you
continue touching the map screen.

one scroll speed and a limited distance to scroll. Keep
touching the map screen to scroll for a longer distance.
If you have used the scroll feature to scroll the map and
the vehicle icon disappears off the screen, press the
NAV (Navigation) key to return to the current vehicle
location on the map.
The scroll feature on the map can be used to set
a destination. See “From Map” under Destination
on page 4-25 for more information.
