Driving to Your Destination
Changing the Routing Method
The system lets you select the way you
want to drive to your destination. Before
selecting OK to calculate a route, you
can change the routing method by using
the CHANGE METHOD scroll bar
back ( ) or forward ( ) buttons. The
route choices will appear in the address
box.
NOTE:
When you are en route and want to
change the routing method, press the
MENU button, and select Change
Routing Method on the Change
route by screen.  “Direct Route” (the factory default) is
the route that is the quickest (least
time) and is usually the best choice. If
you choose any other method, it
becomes the new default for all future
routing. Make sure to check the
routing method if the displayed route
is not what you expected to see.
 “Easy Route” produces a route with the least turns.
 “Maximize Freeways,” “Minimize Freeways,” and “Minimize Toll
Roads” are also available.
NOTE:
If the trip is greater than 100 miles, then
“Minimize Freeways” and “Minimize
Toll Roads” may be grayed out. This is
normal. The generated route may not be the
route you would choose. For safety
reasons, the system
generally applies the
following rules to your route:
 It tries to avoid shortcuts through residential areas.
 Right turns are favored over left turns or U-turns.
 Restricted turns (turns that cannot be made during certain hours) are not
used for routing.

routes (Direct, Easy, Maximize
Freeways, etc.) to your destination. If
you select View Routes, the display
changes to:
NOTE:
 The selected route method and pertinent details are shown at the top
of the screen.
 It may take several minutes (the system displays an hourglass while it
is calculating) to show all route
methods, and it is not unusual for the
different methods to pick the same
route. Voice commands cannot be
used while the system is calculating.  If the trip is greater than 100 miles,
then “Minimize Freeways” and
“Minimize Toll Roads” may be
grayed out. This is normal.
 Zoom IN/OUT to view route details is not available on this screen. After you
choose a route method, you can then
zoom in or out on the map screen to
view your route in details.
Say or select Summary to display the
distance and time to go for each route.
Based on the route data, you can change
the routing by using the Next and Prev.
buttons. Once you confirm your
selection, say or select OK on the
screen.
NOTE:
Distances and times shown for each
method in the Summary are
approximate. After calculating the route with the new
method, the system displays a map of
your current locatio
n. The calculated
route will be highlighted as a blue line,
and a voice prompt will tell you how to
proceed along the highlighted route.
Touch Voice to have the guidance
