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 .

selection, say or select OK on the
screen.
NOTE:
Distances and times shown for each
method in the Summary are

Viewing/Saving the Current
LocationWhenever you are on a map screen, you
can always obtain your current location
either by touching the Vehicle Position
icon or by using the voice control
system and saying “Display current
location.” A screen pops up which
shows the address of your current
location, as well as the latitude,
longitude, and elevation. NOTE:
The elevation will not appear when the
system is temporarily lacking proper
GPS information. The system elevation
may not agree with elevations shown on
roadside elevation signs, and may
fluctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more.
You can store the current location for
later use. It does not change or cancel
your current route.
For example, you are following the
system’s directions to get to a
destination. While sitting at a stoplight
you notice a store on the corner, but do
not have time to visit it right now. You
can save the location to select as a
destination at a later date.To save the location, say “Save current
location” or select
Save on the screen.
When you select “User 1” or “User 2,”
the Edit address book screen with the
current location data will appear. You
can edit the name, phone number, or
category name to be saved in your
personal Address Book.
After the location is saved, select
Return to return to the map screen.
You can then use Address Book from
the Enter destination by screen to
select the saved loca tion and return to
the same spot.

System Setup
Unverified Area RoutingAllows you to receive turn-b y-turn map and voice guidance in unverified areas when en route to a destination (see Map Overview
on page 6). The chart below illust rates the routing differences with this setting On or Off.
Unverified Area Routing: Off (factory default) Unverified Area Routing: On
Decision:
Why choose
On or Off? The driver wishes to navigate manually by using the
navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to
the destination. The driver
understands that unverified
roads may not be accurate, a nd can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range. The driver chooses to let the navigation system suggest possible
routing. The driver understands th
at in some cases, guidance may
not be appropriate. Unverified roads may not be accurate, and can
contain errors in location, naming, and address range.
What you will
see… A blue dotted vector line is displayed on the map that
continually points to your destination. The driver
should stop and then use the
map to select streets that
lead to the destination. A blue-pink dashed route line highlights suggested unverified
streets on the map while traveling to your destination. This is in
sharp contrast to the normal blue route line displayed in verified
areas.
Cautionary
messages There are cautionary pop-up screens and voice
announcements, before and
during the route. These
serve as reminders that you should obey all traffic
restrictions. There are cautionary pop-up scr
eens and voice announcements,
before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you
should exercise additional caution, and obey all traffic
restrictions.
Guidance
(map/voice) There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance. Voice guidance commands end with the words “if possible.” This
is to remind the driver to verify all traffic restrictions before
making a maneuver.
Directions list A direction list is typically not available. However,
depending on your route, directions are provided to
help you reach the first available verified road. A direction list is provided showing street names and turn
symbols in pink.

System SetupUnverified Area RoutingWhen driving to your destination, you
have the choice of using or not using
“unverified” roads. You make this
choice in the Setup screen (second).
The next few pages contain an example
of a route to a destination in an
unverified area explaining the routing
differences found in unverified areas.
With Unverified Area Routing Off ,
the system tries to use verified roads
whenever possible. In this example,
since only verified streets are used, it
created a longer route than necessary.
With Unverified Area Routing On ,
the route is shorter, but consists of
unverified (light colored) streets that
may not be accurate. Because the streets
are unverified, there may be errors in
street location, name, or address range.
Additional caution is recommended in
these areas. Always obey posted traffic
restrictions. Because both routes bypass or use
unverified street
s, an initial Disclaimer
screen is provided. It is recommended
that you stop and review the map.
Unverified Area Routing “Off” Unverified Area Routing “On”
NOTE:
Unverified roads are
shown only when
viewing the map in the 1/20, 1/8, and
1/4 mile map scales, or the 80, 200,
and 400 meter map scales.00_RIDGELINE_KA.book 88 ページ ２０１１年９月１４日　水曜日　午前９時３８分
