Guidance PromptsAs you get near the manoeuvre, you will
hear a voice reminder and see a pop-up
window showing you the manoeuvre.
The number of reminders that you will
hear before a manoeuvre is determined
by Guidance Prompts in Setup on
page 75.
With the factory default (Normal),
typically you will hear two prompts:
• The first is about 400 metres from the
manoeuvre.
• The final prompt is close to your
actual turn.
If the distance between the next two
driving manoeuvres is very small, both
manoeuvres are displayed on the screen
in a single window, and the voice will
remind you of both of them at the same
time.NOTE:
• You can say “Voice” or select
VOICE on the screen at any time to
be reminded of the next manoeuvre.
For information on the available
voice commands, see Voice
Command Index on page 131.
• Typically, a pop-up guidance window
shows your next turn, and a voice
guidance prompt is heard. The timing
of these prompts varies, depending on
the type of road you are on, and the
distance to your next manoeuvre.
When given guidance in unverified
areas, the words “if possible” are
inserted before each guidance prompt.
See Unverified Area Routing on page 83
for more details about unverified
routing.

way to view your route information.
Many of the icons and screen features are
similar to those on the

driving to your destination, press the
MAP/GUIDE
button to switch between
the
map

guidance
screen shows you:
Milestone to Destination – The
position of the small circular icon shows
your trip progress. As you get closer to
your destination, the indicator will
approach “DEST.”
Vehicle Heading – The white portion of
the compass symbol indicates north.
NOTE:• The map and voice guidance in
unverified areas differ from those in
verified areas.• Current manoeuvres and those within
300 metres will show on the
Countdown bar, indicating the
distance until the next manoeuvre.

Navigation System
Driving to Your DestinationDistance and Time to
DestinationWhen you select a destination, the
distance to the destination is the actual
road distance of the calculated route,
and not “as the crow flies.” When
viewing a list of destinations (points of
interest), such as restaurants, the
distance is “as the crow flies” (see Sort
by Distance to Travel on page 35).
The displayed time to the destination
may differ from the actual travel time
because the time is calculated based on
the posted road speed data and your
current speed. If part of your route
includes unverified roads, the “distance”
and “time to go” for that portion is
estimated using 40 km/h as an average
speed.
Direction ListWhen you press the MAP/GUIDE
button on the guidance screen, the
display changes to:
NOTE:
• The map and voice guidance in
unverified areas differ from those in
verified areas. See Unverified Area
Routing on page 83.
• Only manoeuvres that occur at
highway exits or contain highway exit
information will show the exit info
icon ( ) on the right end of the
items in the Direction list. If no exit
info icon is shown on the list, the Exit
Info. is grayed out.You can see the Direction list and the
distance to each manoeuvre. Press the
MAP/GUIDE button to return to the

You can scroll through the Direction

Exit Info. (Highway Exit
Information)NOTE:
Currently, only available when
travelling in the United States.
You can search highway exit
information and add new destinations or
waypoints to the calculated route as a
new destination or waypoint. The exit
info icon ( ) on the right end of the
items in the direction list indicates that
there is highway exit information
available. Say or select Exit Info., and
choose the exit and place to set as a new
destination or waypoint.
On the map screen, you can display
highway exit information using the
joystick. The exit info icon will only be
displayed on the map screen if there is
any highway exit information available.
Choose the 400, 800 metre, or
1.6 kilometre scale, then move the
crosshairs to the desired exit info icon
and click on it. Choose a place from the
list and set it as a new destination or
waypoint.NOTE:
To turn on “Highway exit information”
on the map screen, display the icon bar
and select the icon (see page 58).
Guidance ModeWhen en route to a destination, you
have two display options: single-screen
mode (the factory default) and split-
screen mode.
Single-screen mode – A map is
displayed with occasional guidance
pop-up windows as you approach a
manoeuvre.
Split-screen mode – The map is always
displayed on the left of the screen, and
the manoeuvre or direction list is
displayed on the right-hand side of the
screen.
Guidance mode can be changed in either
Setup (see Guidance Mode on page 90)
or by accessing the icon bar (see
Guidance Mode on page 54) .When you get near the manoeuvre, the
map screen changes to:
On the map screen, the location of the
manoeuvre is marked with a small
yellow square. The guidance window is
simply an enlargement of the area
indicated by the yellow square. After
you complete the manoeuvre, the
display returns to a full map screen
when the single-screen mode is set, or to
a map and direction list screen when the
split-screen mode is set.

Navigation System55
Map OrientationThe map can be orientated two ways:
• North-up: North pointing up as you
would normally view a paper map.
• Heading-up: The map constantly
rotates so the road you are driving on
always points up (as you see the road
through your front windshield).
NOTE:
The red arrow in both heading symbols
always shows the direction north.Touch the Map Orientation icon on the
map screen to switch between the
available orientation, or say “Display
heading up” or “Display north up.”
In the larger map scales (above 1.6
kilometre or 1 mile), the map is always
oriented with north facing upward. You
cannot change the orientation.
NOTE:
For information on the available voice
commands, see Voice Command Index
on page 131.
Destination IconThe destination icon only shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block). Most cities use only
a portion of the 100 possible addresses
(for example, in the 1400 block, the
addresses may only go up to 1425
before the 1500 block starts). Therefore,
the address 1425 will be shown a
quarter of the way down the block by
the system instead of near the end of the
block where the destination is actually
located.
Tip:
When en route, you can view a map
showing your destination. Using voice
control, say “Display destination map.”
