Viewing the Destination Map
Touching View Dest. Map displays a map of the destination vicinity. Press the CANCEL or NAVI BACK button to return. You can view the destination map anytime while en route by saying, “Display destination map.”
Map Screen
When you select OK on the Calculate route to screen, the map screen appears, showing your highlighted route in real time.
Route Line
When driving to a destination on verified roads in a metropolitan area, the route line is displayed as a blue line. When driving in rural areas on unverified streets (light brown color), the route line changes to either a blue dotted “vector line” pointing to your destination, or a blue-pink line. See Unverified Area Routing on page 83 for a detailed explanatio n of how to enable unverified routing, and the related cautions and disclaimers.
NOTE:
You can always view the entire route by simply saying, “Display entire route.”

Guidance Prompts
As you get near the maneuver, you will hear a voice reminder and see a pop-up window showing you the maneuver. The number of reminders that you will hear before a maneuver is determined by Guidance Prompts in Setup on page 75.
With the factory default (Max), typically you will hear two prompts:
• The first is about 1/4 mile from the maneuver.
• The final maneuver is close to your actual turn.
If the distance between the next two driving maneuvers is very small, both maneuvers 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 maneuver. 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 maneuver.
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.

Guidance Screen
The guidance screen offers an alternative way to view your route information. Many of the icons and screen features are similar to those on the map screen. While driving to your destination, press the MAP/GUIDE button to switch between the map and guidance screens. The 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 maneuvers and those within 1000 feet will show on the Countdown bar, indicating the distance until the next maneuver.

Distance and Time to
Destination
When you select a destination, the distance to the destin ation 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” fo r that portion is estimated using 25 mph as an average speed.
Direction List
When 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 maneuvers that occur at freeway exits or contain freeway 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 maneuver. Press the MAP/GUIDE button to return to the previous screen.
You can scroll through the Direction list screen by screen using the scroll bar, or one instruction at a time using the joystick.

Exit Info. (Freeway Exit
Information)
You can search freeway 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 freeway 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 freeway exit information using the joystick. The exit info icon will only be displayed on the map screen if there is any freeway exit information available. Choose the 1/4, 1/2, or 1 mile 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 “Freeway exit information” on the map screen, display the icon bar and select the icon (see page 58).
Guidance Mode
When 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 maneuver.
Split-screen mode – The map is always displayed on the left of the screen, and the maneuver 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 58) .
When you get near the maneuver, the map screen changes to:
On the map screen, the location of the maneuver is marked with a small yellow square. The guidance window is simply an enlargement of th e area indicated by the yellow square. After you complete the maneuver, 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.

Map Scale
Use the ZOOM buttons or say a voice command such as “Display 1/2 mile scale” (see page 139) to change the scale of the map. Zooming in increases the detail, while zooming out gives you a vi ew of a wider area. After changing the scale, give the system a few moments to update the display.

You can change between miles or kilometers in Setup (see Units on page 92). For information on the av ailable voice commands, see Voice Command Index on page 138.

Map Orientation
The 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 mile or 1.6 kilometer), 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 138.
Destination Icon
The 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.”
