A message “Not on a digitized road” may appear
when you drive half a mile away from a mapped
road.
Breadcrumbs may occasionally be displayed in
urban areas, such as large parking lots in
shopping malls, in new subdivisions where the
roads are not yet in the database, or in areas
where a GPS signal is unavailable, such as in a
parking garage.
Breadcrumbs are limited to approximately 150
miles. Breadcrumbs at the beginning of the trail
are deleted if you exceed that distance.
Breadcrumbs are displayed only at 1/20, 1/8, 1/4,
and 1/2 mile map scales.
