Troubleshooting
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short
distance behind, especially when I arrive at an
intersection.This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the width of intersections. Large
differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.
2GPS System P. 224
The screen is showing white dots as I drive along.These dots are called “breadcrumbs.” These are displayed if Off-road Tracking is set
to ON and you drive more than 1/2 mile off mapped roads.
2Off-road Tracking P. 61
How do I remove the white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
from my screen?Press the INFO/PHONE button. Select Setup > Other > Vehicle , and set Off-road
Tracking to OFF , then return to the map.
2Off-road Tracking P. 61
A road that I selected to avoid is being used when
routing.When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that
include at least one intersection.
2 Avoiding Streets P. 122
My elevation (shown when I display the current
position) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation
has not changed.This is normal. The elevation can vary ±100 feet due to GPS calculation errors.
2GPS System P. 224
My elevation is missing on the “current position”
screen.The elevation is only displayed if the GPS antenna can receive signals from at least four
satellites. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. The elevation is also not displayed
if the calculated elevation is zero or below sea level.

number. You should keep this card in a safe place outside your vehicle. If you cannot
find it, see your dealer.

Reference Information
System Limitations
GPS System
The signals received from the GPS satellites
are extremely weak (less than a millionth
of the strength of a local FM station) and
require an unobstructed view of sky. The
GPS antenna is located in the dashboard.
The signal reception can easily be
interrupted or interfered with by the
following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side
windows
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic
devices docked in a cradle or lying loose
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle
tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devices mounted near
the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses,
tunnels, or overhead electrical power
wires
The GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built
into the GPS for wh ich the navigation
system must constantly compensate. This can cause occasional positioning errors of
up to several hundred feet.
Address Calculation
The destination icon shows only the
approximate location of a destination
address. This occurs if the number of
possible addresses is different from the
number of actual addresses on a block.
e.g., the address 1425 on a 1400 block
with 100 possible addresses (because it is
followed by the 1500 block) will be shown
a quarter of the way down the block by
the system. If there are only 25 actual
addresses on the block,
the actual location
of address 1425 would be at the end of
the block.
Database
The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various points
in time before production. Accordingly,
your database may contain inaccurate or
incomplete data or information due to the
passage of time, road construction,
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may
be missing when you search the database
because the name was misspelled, the
place was improperly categorized, or a
place/landmark is not yet in the database.
This is also true for police stations,
hospitals, and other public institutions. Do
not rely on the navigation system if you
need law enforcement or hospital services.
Always check with local information
sources.
