scroll through and view the various
routes (Direct, Easy, Maximize
Freeways, etc.) to your destination. If
you select View Routes , the display
changes to :
NOTE:
The selected route method is 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 Toll Roads” and
“Minimize Freeways” 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 method by rotating the
Interface Dial knob. Once you
confirm your selection, say the number
of the desired routing method or push in
on the Interface Dial .
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.
Push in on the Interface Dial and
select Voice to have the guidance
repeated.

Route Line
When driving to a destination on
verified roads in a metropolitan area, the
route line is displayed as a blue line.
When driving in rural areas on
unverified streets (light brown color),
the route line changes to either a blue
dotted “vector line” pointing to your
destination, or a blue-pink line. See
Unverified Area Routing on page87 for
a detailed explanatio n of how to enable
unverified routing, and the related
cautions and disclaimers.

You can always view the entire route by
simply saying, “Display entire route.” “Vector line” (unverified routing off)

Viewing/Saving the Current
Location
Whenever you are on a map screen, you
can always obtain your current location
either by pushing in on the Interface
Dial , selecting Show Icon on Map ,
and selecting Current Location , 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 Current
location screen. 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 MENU screen ( Enter destination
by ) to select the saved location and
return to the same spot.

Unverified Area Routing
Allows you to receive turn-by-turn ma p and voice guidance in unverified areas when en route to a destination (see Map Overview
on page 6). The chart below illustrates the routing differences with this setting ON or OFF .
Unverified Area Routing: OFF (factory default) Unverified Area Routing: ON
Decision:
Why choose
ON or OFF ?
The driver wishes to navigate manually by using the
navigation map and choosing th e streets that lead to the
destination. The driver un derstands that unverified
roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range. The driver chooses to let th
e navigation system suggest
possible routing. The driver understands that in some
cases, guidance may not be appropriate. Unverified
roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range.
What you will
see...A blue dotted vector line is displayed on the map that
continually points to your destination. The driver
should stop and then use the map to select streets that
lead to the destination. A blue-pink dashed route line highlights suggested
unverified streets
on the map while traveling to your
destination. This is in sharp contrast to the normal blue
route line displayed in verified areas.
Cautionary
messagesThere are cautionary pop-up screens and voice
announcements, before and during the route. These
serve as reminders that you should obey all traffic
restrictions. There are cautionary pop-
up screens and voice
announcements, before and during the route. These
serve as reminders that you should exercise additional
caution, and obey all traffic restrictions.
Guidance
(map/voice)There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidan ce. Voice guidance commands end with the words “if
possible.” This is to remind the driver to verify all
traffic restrictions before making a maneuver.
Directions listA direction list is typically not available. However,
depending on your route, directions are provided to
help you reach the first available verified road. A direction list is provided showing street names and
turn symbols in pink.

Unverified Area Routing
When driving to your destination, you
have the choice of using or not using
“unverified” roads. You make this
choice in the SETUP screen. The next
few pages contain an example of a route
to a destination in an unverified area
explaining the routing differences found
in unverified areas.
With Unverified Area Routing OFF ,
the system tries to use verified roads
whenever possible. In this example,
since only verified streets are used, it
created a longer rout e than necessary.
With Unverified Area Routing ON,
the route is shorter, but consists of
unverified (light co lored) streets that
may not be accurate. Because the streets
are unverified, there may be errors in
street location, name, or address range.
Additional caution is recommended in
these areas. Always obey posted traffic
restrictions. Because both routes bypass or use
unverified streets, an initial
Disclaimer
screen is provided. It is recommended
that you stop and review the map.
Unverified Area Routing “OFF” Unverified Area

NOTE:
Unverified roads are shown only when
viewing the map in the 1/20, 1/8, and
1/4 mile map scales, or the 80, 200, and
400 meter map scales.

Edit Avoid Area
This function allows you to select areas
you wish to avoid when calculating a
route to your destination. You can select
up to five areas to avoid. You may wish
to set up an “avoid area” to route around
long-term road construction, closures,
or any area you wish to avoid. If you
enter a route that takes you through or
into an “avoid area,” a pop-up box will
warn you that your route takes you into
one of these areas. However, you can
still choose destinations in an avoided
area.
When you select Edit Avoid Area, the
following list screen is displayed. You can select
NEW AREA by moving
the Interface Dial to the right, or select
one of your existing areas to modify. If
you choose NEW AREA , the following
screen is displayed:
Say or select Edit Name, and use the
Interface Dial to enter the name on the
Enter avoid area name screen (19
characters max). Say or select DONE to
return to the previous screen. Say or select Edit Area
to create the
area to be avoided. The following screen
appears:
Either select Address or Map Input
on the Enter avoid area by screen.
Each choice provides a slightly different
way to locate the approximate map
display for drawing the area you wish to
avoid.
