System Limitations
Also, depending on your current view of
the sky and the position of the satellites,
the elevation may be shown incorrectly.
You may also notice some delay of the
vehicle position icon at intersections;
this is normal.
GPS Reception Issues
The signals received from the GPS
satellites are extremely weak (less than
a millionth of the strength of a local FM
station) and require an unobstructed
view of sky. The signal can easily be
interrupted or interfered with by the
following:
• Aftermarket metallic window tint
above or to the sides of the GPS
antenna (located in the dashboard)
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle
or lying loose on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit • Other aftermarket audio electronic
devices mounted near the navigation
unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead
electrical power wires
Although the system will direct you to
your desired destination, it may not
always generate what you consider to be
the most direct route. Try changing the
method of routing. See Changing the
Route Preference on page 53 . You may
also have Unverified Area Routing set
to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 101.
Additionally, the mapping database
contains verified and unverified maps.
See Map Overview on page 6 . A
Disclaimer screen will warn you if your
route includes unverified streets.
Unverified streets may be missing from
the map, in the wrong location, or have
an incorrect name or address range.
Exercise additional caution when
driving in these unverified areas. The destination icon 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) Since 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), the
address 1425 will be shown a quarter of
the way down the block by the system
instead of at the end of the block where
the destination is actually located.
You may find that the system
occasionally reboots. This is indicated
by the display returning to the
navigation system globe screen. A
reboot can be caused by a number of
things, such as extreme temperatures or
shock from bumpy roads. It does not
necessarily indicate a problem that
requires service. If this happens
frequently, please see your dealer.

Reporting Errors
Occasionally, you may encounter
database errors.
• If the error pertains to freeways and main “verified” roads shown in black
on the map, then report it online at
http://mapreporter.navteq.com/dur-
web-external/ .
• If the error involves a purple “unverified” road, then do not report
it. These areas have not been verified
and are provided for reference only
(see Map Overview on page 6).
• For errors in points of interest (POI), like a business that has changed its
name, do not report them. Keep in
mind that depending on when the data
was collected, the database can be out
of date. The business may have not
reported the change(s), or not be in
the database at all. Updates are
available for purchase, usually in the
fall of each year. See Obtaining a
Navigation Update on page 127
regarding updates to the navigation
system. • If the error does not involve the
database, such as vehicle position
icon error, screen error messages, or
other GPS related errors, see
Frequently Asked Questions on
page 146, System Limitations on
page 123, or Troubleshooting on
page 153.

Frequently Asked Questions
Map and Features, Voice Operation, Entering Addresses
Problem Solution
Why does the Disclaimer screen need to be displayed every
time I start the car? I am the only driver. The Disclaimer
screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always
operate the navigation system in a safe manner.
I tried entering an address, but the city or street could not be
found. Is there any other way to route to the location? Some cities are lumped in with a majo
r metro area. Try entering the street
first. In rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be
missing, or only partially numbered. Try selecting the destination directly
from the map. See By Map Input on page 46.
When I enter an address, some letters become grayed out. Is
this normal? Yes. As you enter each letter in an addr
ess or a point of interest (POI), the
system looks in the database to see wh at letters are possible and “grays out”
letters that do not apply.
How do I delete Personal Addresses, Previous Destinations,
or the Home Address? This is done in the
SETUP screen (Main Setup), under “Personal
Information.” See page 90.
I cannot hear the navigation system voice. 1) Ensure that Volume in the SETUP screen ( Main Setup ) is not OFF.
See page 90 .
2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the SETUP screen ( Other), and set Voice
Recognition Tutor to ON . See page 99.
The voice control system is having difficulty recognizing my
voice commands. Ensure that the vents are not blowing
on the microphone on the ceiling, the
vehicle is as quiet as possible, and you are using the correct command when
speaking (see Improving Voice Recognition on page 14). Say “Help” at any
screen to see a list of the applicab le voice commands. If the system cannot
recognize your command because of background noise, speak louder.
When the system pronounces the street name in the guidance
command or reads the destination address, it sounds strange.
What causes this? The basic guidance phrase uses a studio-r
ecorded voice, but the street name
is pronounced by the system using a machine-generated voice.
Consequently, the name may be mispronounced or sound strange at times.
When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch
to the night display mode. Why? Verify the following: The nighttime dash brightness control is not set to
maximum, and
Map Color in SETUP is set to Black for Night. See
Switching Display Mode Manually on page 111.
