Navigation System
System LimitationsAlso, 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 IssuesThe 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 51. You may
also have Unverified Area Routing set
to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 98.
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.

Navigation System
GlossaryInitialization - This refers to the period
needed to reacquire the GPS satellite
orbital information whenever the
navigation system power has been
disconnected. This can take 10 to 45
minutes with the vehicle out in an
open area.
LCD - Liquid Crystal Display. The
navigation screen.
Map Matching - The received GPS
information allows the navigation
system to position the vehicle on the
map. Map matching has occurred if
the map screen is displaying the
current street name in the bottom
shaded area.
Mic - Abbreviation for the microphone
used for receiving voice commands.
It is located near the map lights in the
ceiling.
MW - Maneuver Window. While en
route to a destination, this window
displays informatio n about the next
guidance point. Navi -
Abbreviation for the navigation
system.
North Pointer - The map symbol
showing the map orientation. See
page 61.
Off road - This occurs when the user
leaves mapped roads. Off-road
tracking dots (“breadcrumbs”) are
displayed if the option is enabled in
the SETUP screen. The user can use
them to return to a mapped road. The
bottom of the navigation screen will
say, “Not on a digitized road.”
Outlying Areas - These are rural areas
that typically have only their main
roads mapped. All other roads are
shown in purple for reference only,
since they have not been verified.
PIN - Personal Identification Number.
A 4-digit number created by the client
to protect personal information. POI -
Point of Interest. These are the
businesses, schools, etc. found under
Place category or Place Name on
the DEST screen ( Dest. MENU 1 ).
See page 54.
Polygon - Colored areas on the map
screen denoting parks, schools, etc.
See Map Screen “features” for a list
of the assigned colors. See page 54.
Reminder - Automatic pop-up
Calendar message. See Calendar on
page 79.
Security Code - Code needed to
activate the navigation system or
audio system. See Entering the
Security Code on page 118.
Unverified Streets - These streets have
not been verified for turn restrictions,
one-way, etc. They are shown in
purple on the map. Unverified streets
may be missing from the map, shown
in the wrong location, or have an
incorrect name or address range.
