Selecting the Street
By Voice Control:
After you have selected the city, or if
you say “Street” on the Find
intersection by screen, the display
changes to the Say street name screen.
Say the street name and the searching
will begin.
To enter the street name by voice
spelling, say or select CHANGE TO
Spell Mode on the Say street name
screen, and the disp lay will change to
the Enter street name screen. Say the street name by saying individual
letters or numbers, or words that
represent the letters, one at a time.
After you have completed the first
name, the display changes to the
Say
intersecting street screen. Say the
name of the other intersecting street. The system has a talk back function. If
your spoken letter is not recognized, the
system will talk back to you. For
example, if you say “E” but the system
does not recognize the command, it will
ask you, “Please select the number of
the input letter from the list,” and the
following pop-up box will appear:
You should select a letter by saying the
number.
Alternatively, to improve voice
recognition, you can say “Echo” or
“Edward” instead of “E.”
See page
15 for a list of available words
for each letter.

Finding the Place by Phone
Number
The Phone Number option allows
you to select a destination by its
telephone number. Only telephone
numbers stored in the system under the
Places (of business) option are
recognized. The system does not contain
residential telephone numbers, or
numbers you may have entered in your
personal Address Book.
Tip:
If you know the phone number of a point
of interest (POI), its uniqueness makes it
the fastest entry meth od. When using the
voice control system, the entry should be
spoken as a continuous string of
numbers. For example, the telephone
number (310) 555-4000 should be
spoken as “Three, one, zero, five, five,
five, four, zero, zero, zero.”

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.

You may only view routes as shown above from the Calculate route to

The selected route method is shown at the top of the screen. It may take several minutes (the
system displays an hourglass while it

methods, and it is not unusual for the
different methods to pick the same

If the trip is greater than 100 miles, then “Minimize Freeways” and
“Minimize Toll Roads” may be
grayed out. This is normal.

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 page35).
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” for that portion is
estimated using 25 mph as an average
speed.
