Coverage Areas
Address and POI Entry Screens
The following differences occur for
map, address, and POI selection:
• Entry of a destination address or POI
on an island other than your current
island may result in a screen caution
message. This is normal because
there are no “ferry” routes between
islands available in the database.
Setup Screen Differences
The SETUP screen differences are
minor and are listed below. See the
Setup section (page 89) for additional
information.
Puerto Rico
If Street Name Guidance is set to
ON , the street names will not be read
out by voice guidance. This may change
with future data updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
ProblemSolution
The navigation system does not route me the same way I
would go, or the way some ot her mapping program displays.
Why is this? The navigation system attempts to
generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Route Preference on page53.
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year. The mapping database is
constantly undergoing revision. See page128 for
ways to obtain the latest de tailed coverage information.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road and the
“GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is
white or missing. • The GPS antenna (located in the
dashboard) may be blocked by personal
items. For best reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar
detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or othe r aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on
page 123.
I entered a destination, but th e blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my dest ination. Why is this? Your route has entered
an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 101.
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this? Select the North-up map orientati on by voice, or by selecting North-up
from the Map menu . See Map Orientation on page 63.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orienta tions. Why is this? The Heading-up map orientat
ion can only be shown in the lower scales
Map Scale on page66.
While driving to my destinati on, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer. The “Time to go” is based on actual
road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based on your actual spee d to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short distance
behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong? No. When at an intersection, the syst
em is unaware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page123.

Frequently Asked Questions
Update DVD, Coverage, Map Errors, Limitations
ProblemSolution
When is my city going to become part of a fully verified
detailed coverage area? The mapping database vendor is constantly revising map coverage. See
page
128 for ways to obtain the late st detailed coverage information.
Will the navigation system work outside North America? The system c ontains maps for the 50 U.S. states, as well as for Canada and
Puerto Rico. The system will not wo rk in Mexico or overseas. See Map
Coverage on page128.
Can I play video DVDs in my navigation system?No. The navigation sy stem is designed only to read music discs and the
update DVD provided with your vehicl e. The system cannot read other
mapping databases or video DVDs. If you experience any problems that you
cannot resolve, please contact your dealer.
I found some errors in the database. How do I report them? Mi nor errors are bound to occur in a large database. If you encounter major
errors, you can report them following the instructions on page 126.
