Navigation System
Driving to Your DestinationChanging the Routing MethodThe 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 Highways,” “Minimize
Highways,” and “Minimize Toll
Roads” are also available.
NOTE:
If the trip is greater than 160 kilometres,
then “Minimize Highways” 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.

Viewing the RoutesTouching View Routes on the
Calculate route to screen allows you to
scroll through and view the various
routes (Direct, Easy, Maximize
Highways, etc.) to your destination. If
you select View Routes, the display
changes to:
NOTE:
• You may only view routes as shown
above from the Calculate route to
screen.
• The selected route method is shown at
the top of the screen.• It may take several minutes (the
system displays an hourglass while it
is calculating) to show all route
methods, and it is not unusual for the
different methods to pick the same
route. Voice commands cannot be
used while the system is calculating.
• If the trip is greater than
160 kilometres, then “Minimize Toll
Roads” and “Minimize Highways”
may be grayed out. This is normal.
Say or select Summary to display the
distance and time to go for each route.
Based on the route data, you can change
the routing by using the Next and Prev.
buttons. Once you confirm your
selection, say or select OK on the
screen.
NOTE:
Distances and times shown for each
method in the Summary are
approximate.After calculating the route with the new
method, the system displays a map of
your current location. The calculated
route will be highlighted as a blue line,
and a voice prompt will tell you how to
proceed along the highlighted route.
Touch VOICE to have the guidance
repeated.

Navigation System
Driving to Your DestinationGoing Off the RouteIf you leave the calculated route,
“Recalculating...” is displayed at the top
of the screen. The system will
recalculate the route from your current
location and direction to the desired
destination, and then give you a new
route instruction. This is done
automatically if you have set
Rerouting to Automatic on the
Setup screen (second) (see page 82).
If the Rerouting option in Setup is set
to Manual, “Off route” appears at the
top of the screen when you leave the
calculated route. Say “Recalculate” or
select Recalculation whenever you
wish the system to perform a
recalculation.
Off-road TrackingIf you drive more than 800 metres from
a mapped road, “Not on a digitized
road” appears at the bottom of the
screen.
The map screen starts displaying a
series of dots (breadcrumbs) to show the
path you have taken if Off-road
Tracking on the Setup screen (second)
is set to On (see page 90).By following the dots, you can
backtrack to the mapped road you
originally left. “Breadcrumbs” may
occasionally be displayed in urban
areas, such as large parking lots in
shopping malls, or in new subdivisions
where the roads are not yet in the
database. In other cases, you may see
dots if the system temporarily goes off
route, like in a parking garage where the
GPS signal is unavailable.
These dots appear only in the 80, 200,
400, and 800 metre (or 1/20, 1/8, 1/4,
and 1/2 mile) map scales. Use the
ZOOM buttons to change scales if
necessary.
Tracking continues for approximately
240 kilometres; dots at the beginning of
the trail will start disappearing when
you exceed that distance. When you
reach a mapped road, the system stops
displaying dots.

System SetupEither 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 80, 200,
and 400 metre 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.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 highway, the system will
prompt you with a pop-up box saying
“Do you want to avoid highways?”Answering “No” allows you to enter a
route through an avoided area on a
highway and skip the “Avoid area
caution box” (see Pop-Ups and
Disclaimers on page 62).
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.

System Setup
After you have travelled approximately
800 metres away from a mapped road,
the system will display a series of white
dots on the map screen to show the path
you have travelled. 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 60.
Tracking is shown only in the 80, 200,
400, and 800 metre scales, or the 1/20,
1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 mile 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.
Correct Vehicle PositionThe system relies on satellites for
positioning information. Buildings,
tunnels, and other objects can block or
reflect these signals, requiring the
system to use “dead reckoning” to
determine your location and direction.
This can sometimes lead to small errors
in positioning, such as showing you on
an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle
position is not recommended. When the
system acquires a GPS signal, it will
automatically place the vehicle in the
correct location.
If you choose to do this, follow these
steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Select Adjust, and the system will
display a map adjustment screen.3. Use the ZOOM buttons and the
joystick to move the location
arrowhead to the correct location.
Touch the arrow buttons on the
bottom of the screen to rotate the
direction arrows so the vehicle
position is pointing in the correct
direction.
NOTE:
If you continually have to do this, there
are either problems in the database or
GPS reception problems. See
Accessories Precautions on page 5.
4. When you have finished, press the
joystick or select Done to return to
the previous screen.
5. As you drive, the current road will be
displayed at the bottom of the screen.
