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.
5-14
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.
DVD Map Disc Messages

map disc comes out, it could be for one of the following
reasons:

normal, the map disc should play.
.You are driving on a very rough road. When the
