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 rou ting 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 navi
gate manually by using the
navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to
the destination. The driver understands that unverified
roads may not be a ccurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range. The driver chooses to let the na
vigation system suggest possible
routing. The driver understands that in some cases, guidance may
not be appropriate. Unverified ro ads 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
messages There 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 sc
reens and voice announcements,
before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you
should exercise additional ca ution, and obey all traffic
restrictions.
Guidance
(map/voice) There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance. Voice gui
dance commands end with the words “if possible.” This
is to remind the driver to verify all traffic restrictions before
making a maneuver.
Directions list A direction list is typicall y not available. However,
depending on your route, dire ctions are provided to
help you reach the first available verified road. A direction list is provided showing street names and turn
symbols in pink.

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 for the Setup item
“Edit Avoid Area,” the following list
screen is displayed: You can select
New Area or select (by
touch) 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
keyboard 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. After selecting the choice, a map
screen will be displayed.
Use the ZOOM buttons to select the
map scale (available scales are 1/20,
1/8, and 1/4 mile scales). Use the
joystick to move the crosshairs (red
circle) to the desired start point and push
in the joystick to “set” the start point.
Then move the joystick in a straight or
diagonal direction to encompass the
area to be avoided.

System Setup
NOTE:
The maximum size of the “Avoid area”
is 1/4 of the navigation display screen
regardless of the map scale setting.
The selected area will be displayed as a
shaded box with a yellow border. Push
in on the joystick to set the end point of
the avoided area. To “redraw” the area,
touch Cancel and repeat the area
selection process. If your selected area
contains a freeway, the system will
prompt you with a pop-up box saying
“Do you want to avoid freeways?” Answering “No” allows you to enter a
route through an avoided area on a
freeway and skip the “Avoid area
caution box.” See
Pop-Ups and
Disclaimers on page 64.
Say or select Done to return to the Edit
area screen. When you return, the
“Vicinity” field is automatically filled in
by the system. Re-edit the area “Name”
if desired. Select Done on the Edit
avoid area screen to finish editing.
Your new avoided area will now appear
on the “Avoid area” list and be viewable
on the map screen. NOTE:
You can select areas to avoid,
however you cannot select roads or
areas that you want the system to use
for routing.
If you are drawing a box around a road as an area to avoid, then ensure
the following: When you draw the
box, make sure that the road or
portion of a road that you encircled
includes an intersection. For
instance, in the example below,
highway 213 will be avoided, but Van
Ness will not be avoided because it
lacks an intersection in the enclosed
box.

Edit Waypoint Search Area
When driving en route to your
destination, you can select a temporary
destination waypoint (marked with a
small flag on the map) along your route
for gas, a restaurant, or other POI. When
you resume your trip from the waypoint,
the system continues the trip to your
original destination. To use this feature,
see Waypoints on page 65.
This Setup item allows you to select the
distance from your highlighted route
line (on either side of your route) that
the system will search for a waypoint.
From the Routing & Guidance screen,
select Edit for “Edit Waypoint Search
Area,” and then choose the desired
search distance for either “On
Freeways” or “On Surface Street.” The diagram below shows how the
system handles the search for “Places
Along the Rout
e” or “Places Around the
Destination” (see Waypoints on
page 65). For “Places Along the Route,” the
system looks in front of you within a
corridor width specified by your values
for “On Freeways” or “On Surface
Street.”
The system checks the upcoming area,
based on your input.
For “Places Around the Destination,”
the system searches outwards in a spiral
from the destination. In this case,
specific search values are not needed;
the matches are displayed in order of
distance from destination.
NOTE:
These settings do not affect the search
range used for the voice commands like
“Find nearest gas station” that are also
available when viewing the
map screen.

Vehicle
From the Setup screen (second), say or
select Vehicle and the following screen
appears:
Off-road Tracking
With this On, the system will provide
white off-road tracking dots
(“breadcrumbs”) on the map screen
whenever you drive into an area where
the map does not show any roads.
See Map Screen Legend on page19. After you have traveled approximately
1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the
system will display a series of white
dots on the
map screen to show the path
you have traveled. This is provided so
you can follow the dots to backtrack to
the mapped road you originally left.
Tracking continues until you reach a
mapped road. See Off-road Tracking on
page 62.
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile scales, or the 80, 200,
400, and 800 meter scales. Use the
ZOOM buttons to change the scales if
necessary.
NOTE:
To clear existing dots, turn this feature
off and exit Setup. To re-enable this
feature, return to Setup and turn it on
again.
