Driving to Your DestinationDistance and Time to
DestinationWhen 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 page 35).
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.
Direction ListWhen you press the MAP/GUIDE
button on the guidance
screen, the
display changes to:
NOTE:
The map and voice guidance in unverified areas differ from those in
verified areas. See Unverified Area

items in the Direction list. If no exit
info icon is shown on the list, the Exit

distance to each maneuver. Press the
MAP/GUIDE
button to return to the

Viewing/Saving the Current

can always obtain your current location
either by touching the Vehicle Position
icon 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 screen.
When you select “User 1” or “User 2,”
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 Enter destination by screen to
select the saved location and return to
the same spot.

to view the Change route by screen:
• Search waypoint (page 63)
• Delete waypoint (page 65)
• Avoid streets (page 65)
• Detour (page 65)
• Change routing method (page 65)
• Cancel the current route (page 66)
• Back to the current route (page 66) Choose a different
destination (other
methods) by:
• Saying “Find nearest...” to find a POI (page 66).
• Saying “Go home” (page 66).
• Using the joystick to select a different POI or address on the map (page 66).
• Pressing the MENU button twice to

WaypointsWaypoints allow you to add an interim
“pit stop” while traveling to a
destination. For inst ance, you may want
to stop for gas or food, and then
continue on to yo ur destination.
Although you can enter up to five
waypoints at a time, typically you may
never use more than one at a time.
Waypoints are routed to in the order
they were entered (num ber 1 first, etc.),
with your final destination routed to last.
If you wish to create a custom route of
several destinations, and then control
the order of routing, the function
“Today’s Destinations” is probably a
better choice (see By Today’s
