U (Space): Select to enter a space between
characters or the words of a name.
Backspace: Select if an incorrect character has been
entered.
To make name entries easier, the system only highlights
the characters that can follow the last one entered. For
example, if a Z is entered, a T may not be available for
selection.
If a name does not display after entry, it may need to be
entered differently or the map DVD disc may not contain
that information. See Database Coverage Explanations
on page 5 ‑ 59 for more information.
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 classified 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.
