Changing the Routing Method
The 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 Freeways,” “Minimize Freeways,” and “Minimize Toll Roads” are also available.
NOTE:
If the trip is greater than 100 miles, then “Minimize Freeways” 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 Routes
Touching View Routes on the Calculate route to screen allows you to scroll through and view the various routes (Direct, Easy, Maximize Freeways, 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 100 miles, then “Minimize Freeways” and “Minimize Toll Roads” 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 locatio n. 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.

Going Off the Route
If 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 84).
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. Sa y “Recalculate” or select Recalculation whenever you wish the system to perform a recalculation.
Off-road Tracking
If you drive more than half a mile 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 92).
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 1/20, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 mile (or 80, 200, 400, and 800 meter) map scales.Use the ZOOM buttons to change scales if necessary.
Tracking continues for approximately 150 miles; dots at the beginning of the trail will start disappearing when you exceed that distance . When you reach a mapped road, th e system stops displaying dots.

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.

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.
