Viewing/Saving the Current
LocationWhenever you are on a map screen, you
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 30 metres 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.

Day and Night. The recommended
setting is Auto, which automatically
switches the screen between Day and
Night modes as you turn the headlights

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,
before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you
should exercise additional caution, and obey all traffic
restrictions.
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.

Navigation System
System SetupUnverified Area RoutingWhen driving to your destination, you
have the choice of using or not using
“unverified” roads. You make this
choice in the Setup screen (second).
The next few pages contain an example
of a route to a destination in an
unverified area explaining the routing
differences found in unverified areas.
Note that the “Unverified” roads are
displayed only on the U.S. areas.
With Unverified Area Routing Off,
the system tries to use verified roads
whenever possible. In this example,
since only verified streets are used, it
created a longer route than necessary.
With Unverified Area Routing On,
the route is shorter, but consists of
unverified (light coloured) streets that
may not be accurate. Because the streets
are unverified, there may be errors in
street location, name, or address range.
Additional caution is recommended in
these areas. Always obey posted traffic
restrictions.Because both routes bypass or use
unverified streets, an initial Disclaimer
screen is provided. It is recommended
that you stop and review the map.
Unverified Area Routing “Off”Unverified Area Routing “On”
NOTE:
Unverified roads are shown only when
viewing the map in the 80, 200, and 400
metre map scales, or the 1/20, 1/8, and
1/4 mile map scales.

Navigation System
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.
