System Setup
With 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 ar e 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 maneuver window “arrow” shows any portions of unverified turns in blue/pink dashes.
These guidance maneuvers are only a suggestion. You should always confirm that the maneuver is possible. A direction list is also provided that shows any unverified roads in a blue color, with pink arrows pointing to the next maneuver.

Edit Avoid Area
This function allows you to select areas you wish to avoid when calculating a route to your destination. You can select up to five areas to avoid. You may wish to set up an “avoid area” to route around long-term road construction, closures, or any area you wish to avoid. If you enter a route that takes you through or into an “avoid area,” a pop-up box will warn you that your route takes you into one of these areas. However, you can still choose destinations in an avoided area.
When you select Edit for the Setup item “Edit Avoid Area,” the following list screen is displayed:
You can select New Area or select (by touch) one of your existing areas to modify. If you choose New Area, the following screen is displayed:
Say or select Edit Name and use the keyboard to enter the name on the Enter avoid area name screen (19 characters max). Say or select Done to return to the previous screen. Say or select Edit Area to create the area to be avoided. The following screen appears:
Either 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 1/20, 1/8, and 1/4 mile 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 freeway, the system will prompt you with a pop-up box saying “Do you want to avoid freeways?”
Answering “No” allows you to enter a route through an avoided area on a freeway and skip the “Avoid area caution box.” See Pop-Ups and Disclaimers on page 63. 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 screen and be viewable on the map screen.
NOTE:
You can select areas to avoid, however you cannot select roads or areas that you want the system to use for routing. If you are drawing a box around a road as an area to avoid, then ensure the following: When you draw the box, make sure that the road or portion of a road that you encircled includes an intersection. For instance, in the example below, highway 213 will be avoided, but Van Ness will not be avoided because it lacks an intersectio n in the enclosed box.

Edit Waypoint Search Area
When driving en route to your destination, you can select a temporary destination waypoint (marked with a small flag on the map) along your route for gas, a restaurant, or other POI. When you resume your trip from the waypoint, the system continues the trip to your original destination. To use this feature, see Waypoints on page 64.
This Setup item allows you to select the distance from your highlighted route line (on either side of your route) that the system will search for a waypoint. From the Routing & Guidance screen, select Edit for “Edit Waypoint Search Area,” and then choose the desired search distance for either “On Freeways” or “On Surface Street.”
The diagram below shows how the system handles the search for “Places Along the Rout e” or “Places Around the Destination” (see Waypoints on page 64).
For “Places Along the Route,” the system looks in front of you within a corridor width specified by your values for “On Freeways” or “On Surface Street.”The system checks the upcoming area, based on your input.
For “Places Around the Destination,” the system searches outwards in a spiral from the destination. In this case, specific search values are not needed; the matches are displayed in order of distance from destination.
NOTE:
These settings do not affect the search range used for the voice commands like “Find nearest gas station” that are also available when viewing the map screen.

Allows you to select the guidance display mode: Single Screen or Split Screen .
To get to Guidance Mode from the Setup screen, select in sequence, “More,” “Routing & Guidance,” and “Guidance Mode.”
The factory default is Single Screen.
NOTE:
The Guidance Mode can also be selected on the Icon Selection screen. See Showing Icons on the Map on page 59.
Vehicle
From the Setup screen (second), say or select Vehicle and the following screen appears:
Off-road Tracking
With this On, the system will provide white off-road tracking dots (“breadcrumbs”) on the map screen whenever you drive into an area where the map does not show any roads.See Map Screen Legend on page 19.
After you have traveled approximately 1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the system will display a series of white dots on the map screen to show the path you have traveled. 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 61.
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 mile scales, or the 80, 200, 400, and 800 meter 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.

System Setup
Correct Vehicle Position
The 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 pointin g 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.

following screen appears:
Clock Adjustment
When you select Clock Adjustment ,
the following screen appears: This screen allows you to set or adjust
the following:
• Auto Daylight Saving Time
(Default = On)
• Auto Time Zone by GPS (Default = On)
• DST (Daylight Saving Time) Selection

• Time Adjustment (adjust your clock)
• Reset button (resets this screen’s
settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight Saving Time
Sets automatic daylight saving time On
or Off . If set to On , the clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
back” by one hour when a daylight
saving time change occurs. If you reside
in a state or area wh ere daylight saving
time is not used, then you may want to
turn this feature off. NOTE:
If you set Auto Daylight Saving Time to
On
, the daylight saving time function is
activated even in an area that does not
use daylight saving time.
The federal government mandated that
starting in 2007, daylight saving time
begins in March and ends in November
instead of the old schedule from April to
October. The schedule is subject to
review and possible cancellation in
2010-2011.
The schedules for the time changes are
stored in the software and can be
selected in the DST schedule
selection screen. Therefore, your clock
will change based on the daylight saving
time schedule.
NOTE:
The automatic clock setting feature
relies on a satellite signal. It will not
work in Hawaii and Alaska.
