Introduction
Verified streets (dark colored) Unverified streets (light colored)
When
displayed These roads are found within
metropolitan areas, and
include interstate freeways and major roads
connecting cities. These roads are found in rural
areas, and typically include
residential street s away from the center of a town.
Street color Shown on daytime
map screen as black or red, such as
interstate freeways. Shown on the daytime
map screen as light brown.
Map quality The database vendor has
verified these streets.
Information like tu rn restrictions, average speed, and
whether it is a one-way street have been gathered and
used when creating your route to a destination. These streets have not been veri
fied by the database vendor. The
system does not contain inform ation on one-way streets, turn
restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown on the
map for reference and may have e rrors in map location, naming,
and address range.
Routing
differences While driving to your destin
ation, the displayed route
line is solid blue. The sy stem provides voice and map
guidance to your destination. Your route line is either a blue
dotted “vector line,” or a dashed
pink/blue line. For information on selecting this option, and the
routing differences, see Unverified Area Routing on page87.
Cautions There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during
a route. However, because roads constantly change,
you are urged to use common
sense, and always obey
posted traffic restrictions. Regardless of whether the user c
hooses route guidance, there are
cautionary screens before and dur ing the route urging the user to
be extra cautious, and obey a ll traffic restrictions. See Unverified
Area Routing on page87.
Guidance
voice Voice guidance issues instruct
ions such as “In a half-
mile, make a right turn.” The phrase “if possible” is added
to each guidance instruction.
For example: “In a half-mile, ma ke a right turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go” The time and distance “t
o go,” displayed while en
route to a destination, is based on the average speed
and distance for the roads used for your route. Because the average speed of thes
e roads is not known, the time
and distance “to go” is based on a fixed average speed of 25 mph
for these roads.

Navigation System13
Getting Started
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system
as much as possible, and consider
manual entry using the joystick as a
backup method of entry.
Most of the system’s functions can be
controlled by voice commands activated
with the NAVI TALK button. To
control the navigation system by voice:
• Press and release the NAVI TALK
button.
• Wait for the beep.
• Give a voice command.
Once the microphone picks up your
command, the system changes the
display in response to the command and
prompts you for the next command.
Using the NAVI TALK button, answer
the prompts as required. If the system does not understand a
command or you wait too long to give a
command, it responds with “Pardon,”
“Please repeat,” or “Would you say
again.” If the system cannot perform a
command or the command is not
appropriate for the screen you are on, it
sounds a beep.
Anytime you are unsure of what voice
commands are available on a screen,
you can always say “Help.” The system
will then read the list of commands to
you.
When you give a command, the system
generally either repeats the command as
a confirmation or asks you for further
information. If you do not wish to hear
this feedback, you can turn it off.
However, hearing the feedback will
familiarize you with the way the system
expects commands to be phrased. See
the
Voice Recognition Feedback
setting in Setup. If you hear a prompt such as “Please use
the touch screen to...” or “Please choose
an area with the joystick,” the system is
asking for input
that cannot be
performed using the voice control
system.

16Navigation System
Getting Started
Using the On-screen
Keyboard
When the system needs input from you,
the display changes to a keyboard. Use
the displayed letters to enter the
information. Enter each letter by one of
the following methods:
• Using the voice control system, say the desired letter on the screen.
• Move the highlighting to the desired letter using the joystick, then push in
on the joystick.
• Touch the desired le tter on the screen.
When speaking the letters or using
“spell mode,” you can substitute the
name that represents each letter or
symbol. This improves recognition. The
system will only re spond to the names
shown in the following graphic. For
example:
• To select the letter “A”: Say, “ A”;
“ Alpha ”; or “Apple .”
• To select the letter “M”: Say, “ M”;
“ Mike”; or “Mary.” The names that can be used for each lette
r are shown below. For additional keyboard
symbols, see page 148.

Navigation System17
Getting Started
Each entered letter will appear at the top
of the display. Say or select Space to
enter a space between words. Say or
select Delete to erase a letter entered
incorrectly.
When entering an address, the system
searches the database for words that
match the letters you are entering. As a
result, you will notice that some letters
are no longer available.
When the system finds only one entry
that matches, it completes the entry of
the name for you. If the system finds
more than one entry that matches your
input, the system displays a list.
Tip:
If you are unsure of the spelling of a
name, enter the letters that you are sure
of, and then select List. The system
displays a list of names that most closely
matches your input. You can choose to have your keyboard
displayed in alphabetized format as
shown below:
Or in a regular keyboard (QWERTY)
format as shown below:
See
Keyboard Layout in the Setup
