Driving to Your DestinationShowing Icons on the MapTouching the ICON button on the map
screen displays the following screen:
The screen consists of the following
items:Icon Bar (row of icon symbols)The icon bar allows you to manually
select the icons that are displayed on the
map (see page 56 for a list of these
icons). In the screen above, both gas
stations and restaurants are selected.
Touch the icons to select (goes blue) or
remove them (goes gray). You can also
display or hide the same icons by using
the “Display” or “Hide” voice
commands (see page 132).
Icon OptionsThis feature allows you to “fine tune”
some of the icons on the Icon bar (see
Icon Options for more information).Guidance ModeWhen en route, this item allows you to
select between a single-screen (with
occasional pop-up guidance windows),
or a split-screen (containing one-half
map and one-half guidance/directions
list window). See page 53 for an
explanation of this feature, and see
page 90 for Setup.Exit ScreenSelect Return to return to the map

following screen:
This feature allows you to “fine tune”
some of the icons on the Icon bar. The

types of food), and “Other icons”
(hospitals, schools, etc.) – can each be
tailored to your needs.

For instance, let’s assume that hospital
icons are not displayed on the map. You
would do the following:
• First, you would ensure that the
OTHER ICON button on the Icon
bar is blue (see Icon Bar on page 58).
• Second, you select Icon Options
and verify that hospital option is also
on (blue). This procedure is explained
below.
If you select Other Icons from the
Select category for icon settings
screen, the other icons options are
displayed:In the previous example, POST
OFFICE and SCHOOL are selected
and will show up on the map. To also
see HOSPITAL on the map, this would
need to be turned on to select it so it
appears as below.
Exit, and save your settings by selecting
Done.NOTE:
• When viewing the map screen, you
can turn some icons on using voice
control.
• See Voice Command Index on
page 132 for the available “Display”
and “Hide” icon command.

System Setup
Unverified Area RoutingAllows you to receive turn-by-turn map 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 the streets that lead to
the destination. The driver understands that unverified
roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range.The driver chooses to let the 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 travelling 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,

Guidance
(map/voice)There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance. Voice guidance commands end with the words “if possible.” This
is to remind the driver to verify all traffic restrictions before
making a manoeuvre.
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.

System Setup
With Unverified Area Routing Off,
the moment you enter an unverified
street a caution box appears on the
screen, and is read by the voice. This
lets you know that you are about to enter
an unverified area and that you will be
following a dotted “vector line” that
points to your destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On,
a caution box appears on the screen and
is read by the voice. In this case, you
will be presented with a dashed blue/
pink line instead of the regular blue
route line. This is your signal to pay
attention to posted traffic restrictions.
You cannot assume that all guidance is
appropriate.
In both cases, when you actually enter
the unverified street, a short caution will
remind you. You will see and hear this
short caution message whenever you
enter unverified areas.Unverified Area Routing “Off” Unverified Area Routing “On”

System SetupWith Unverified Area Routing Off,
you are presented with a blue “vector
line” that always points to the
destination. You must manually choose
streets from the map that will lead to
your destination. No guidance is
provided, and there are no directions to
the destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On,
a blue/pink route line is shown for
unverified segments. Voice guidance
commands in unverified areas always
end with “if possible.” This is your
signal that you should use additional
caution, and obey all traffic restrictions.
The manoeuvre window “arrow” shows
any portions of unverified turns in blue/
pink dashes.
These guidance manoeuvres are only a
suggestion. You should always confirm
that the manoeuvre is possible. A
direction list is also provided that shows
any unverified roads in a blue colour,
with pink arrows pointing to the next
manoeuvre.Unverified Area Routing “Off”
