Driving to Your Destination
Distance and Time to
Destination
When you select a destination, the
distance to the destination is the actual
road distance of the calculated route,
and not “as the crow flies.” When
viewing a list of destinations (points of
interest), such as restaurants, the
distance is “as the crow flies” (see Sort
by Distance to Travel on page34).
The displayed time to the destination
may differ from the actual travel time
because the time is calculated based on
the posted road speed data and your
current speed. If part of your route
includes unverified roads, the “distance”
and “time to go” fo r that portion is
estimated using 25 mph as an average
speed.
Direction List
When you press the MAP/GUIDE
button on the guidance screen, the
display changes to:
NOTE:
 The map and voice guidance in unverified areas differ from those in
verified areas. See Unverified Area
Routing on page82.
 Only maneuvers that occur at freeway exits or contain freeway exit
information will show the exit info
icon (“i” icon) on the right end of the
items in the Direction list. If no exit
info icon is shown on the list, the Exit
Info. is grayed out. You can see the Direction list and the
distance to each maneuver. Press the
MAP/GUIDE button to return to the
previous screen.
You can scroll through the Direction list
screen by screen using the scroll bar, or
one instruction at a time using the
joystick.

Map Orientation
The map can be orientated two ways:
 North-up: North pointing up as you would normally view a paper map.
 Heading-up: The map constantly rotates so the road you are driving on
always points up (as you see the road
through your front windshield).
NOTE:
The red arrow in both heading symbols
always shows the direction north. Touch the Map Orientation icon on the
map
screen to switch between the
available orientation, or say “Display
heading up” or “Display north up.”
In the larger map scales (above
1 mile or 1.6 kilometer), the map is
always oriented with north facing
upward. You cannot change the
orientation.
To view other areas on the map, move
the joystick left, right, up, or down. The
map will shift in that direction. To
return the map to your current location,
press either the MAP/GUIDE, the
CANCEL , or the NAVI BACK button
on the steering wheel. The display automati
cally changes to
the map screen when you reach your
destination. Press the MENU button to
return to the Enter destination by
screen.
NOTE:
 For information on the available voice commands, see Voice
Command Index on page137.
 If you are en route and the joystick is moved, the “Time to Destination”
and “Distance to Destination”
indications are re placed with an
indicator showing distance from the
current vehicle location.

Viewing/Saving the Current
Location
Whenever you are on a map screen, you
can always obtain your current location
either by touching the Vehicle Position
icon or by using the voice control
system and saying “Display current
location.” A screen pops up which
shows the address of your current
location, as well as the latitude,
longitude, and elevation. NOTE:
The elevation will not appear when the
system is temporarily lacking proper
GPS information. The system elevation
may not agree with elevations shown on
roadside elevation signs, and may
fluctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more.
You can store the current location for
later use. It does not change or cancel
your current route.
For example, you
are following the
system’s directions to get to a
destination. While sitting at a stoplight
you notice a store on the corner, but do
not have time to visit it right now. You
can save the location to select as a
destination at a later date. To save the location, say “Save current
location” or select
Save on the screen.
When you select “User 1” or “User 2,”
the Edit address book screen with the
current location data will appear. You
can edit the name, phone number, or
category name to be saved in your
personal Address Book.
After the location is saved, select
Return to return to the map screen.
You can then use Address Book from
the Enter destination by screen to
select the saved location and return to
the same spot.

Changing the Route
While en route, you may wish to alter
your route, add an interim “Waypoint”
(pit stop), choose a different destination,
or cancel your current destination.
To change your present route, you can
do any of the following:
Say “Menu,” or press the MENU button
to view the Change route by screen:
 Search waypoint (page62)
 Delete waypoint (page64)
 Avoid streets (page64)
 Detour (page64)
 Change routing method (page64)

 Back to the current route (page65) Choose a different destination (other
methods) by:
 Saying “Find nearest...” to find a POI
(page65).
 Saying “Go home” (page65).
 Using the joystick to select a different POI or address on the map (page65).
Pressing the MENU button twice to get to the Enter destination by
screen (page67).
Change Route By Screen
Pressing the MENU button displays the
Change route by screen:
Waypoints
Waypoints allow you to add an interim
“pit stop” while traveling to a
destination. For inst ance, you may want
to stop for gas or food, and then
continue on to your destination.
Although you can enter up to five
waypoints at a time, typically you may
never use more than one at a time.
Waypoints are routed to in the order
they were entered (number 1 first, etc.),
with your final destination routed to last.
If you wish to create a custom route of
several destinations , and then control
the order of routing, the function
“Today’s Destinations” is probably a
better choice (see By Today’s
Destinations on page40).
