Driving to Your DestinationCurrent LocationWhenever you are on a map screen, you
can always obtain your current location
either by pushing in on the Interface
Dial , selecting Current Location
from Map Information, 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
Current
location screen. The Edit address
screen with the current location data
will appear. You ca n edit the name,
phone number, or category name to be
saved in your personal Address Book.
Select Return and you will be returned
to the Map information screen.
You can then use Address Book from
the DEST screen ( Dest. MENU 1 ) to
select the saved location, and return to
the same spot.

map. Zooming in increases the detail, while zooming out gives you a view of a wider area. After changing the scale, give the
system a few moments to update the display.

Driving to Your Destination
Destination IconThe destination icon only 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).
Therefore, the address 1425 will be
shown a quarter of the way down the
block by the system instead of near the
end of the block where the destination is
actually located.
Tip:
When en route, you can view a map
showing your destination. Using voice
control, say “Display destination map.”
Various Other IconsLandmark IconsLandmark icons are shown in the map
screen on 1/20 and 1/8 mile scales. The
Freeway exit information is displayed

shown on the 1/20 mile scale.
Some icons can be turned on or off. To
hide or display icons, use the Interface

Driving to Your DestinationGoing Off the RouteIf you leave the calculated route,
“Recalculating...” is displayed at the top
of the screen. The system will
recalculate the route from your current
location and direction to the desired
destination then give you a new route
instruction. This is done automatically if
you have set Rerouting to
AUTOMATIC on the SETUP screen
(Other ) (see page 97).
If the Rerouting option in SETUP is
set to MANUAL , “Off route” appears at
the top of the screen when you leave the
calculated route. Say “Recalculate,” or
select Recalculation whenever you
want the system to perform a
recalculation.
Off-road TrackingIf you drive away from a mapped road,
“Not on a digitized road” appears at the
bottom of the screen.
The map screen starts displaying a
series of dots (breadcrumbs) to show the
path you have taken if Off-road
Tracking on the SETUP screen
(Other ) is set to ON (see page 106). By following the dots, you can
backtrack to the mapped road you
originally left. “Breadcrumbs” may
occasionally be displayed in urban
areas, such as larg
e parking lots in
shopping malls, or in new subdivisions
where the roads are not yet in the
database. In other cases, you may see
dots if the system temporarily goes off
route, like in a parking garage where the
GPS signal is unavailable. These dots
appear only in the 1/20, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2
mile map scales. Rotate the Interface
Dial knob to change scales if
necessary.
Off-road Tracking continues for
approximately 150 miles; dots at the
beginning of the trail will start
disappearing when you exceed that
distance. When you reach a mapped
road, the system stops displaying dots.

Driving to Your Destination• You actually entered an unverified area (see Unverified Area Routing on
page 98).
Traffic ReroutingYou can calculate the detour route by
choosing to avoid specific incidents
and/or congestion on your route. Say
“Display traffic incidents” or “Display
traffic list,” and select the “On Route”
tab on the Traffic list screen. Select an incident from the list, and push
in on the
Interface Dial twice. The
system will display the confirmation
screen:
When you say or select Return, the
display returns to the list screen. When
you select Avoid, the system
recalculates a detour route avoiding the
road. You can choose to avoid up to 10
traffic incidents.

Driving to Your Destination
NOTE:
• When you select the “All” tab,
Avoid is not displayed.
• Because the criterion for whether the
traffic event is to be detoured or not is
included in the traffic event data
itself, the traffic rerouting is not
performed for all the traffic incidents
ahead on the route.
• Even when the rout e recalculation is
performed for a traffic event, if the
system cannot find any detour route
or a quicker detour route, the event
location is not always avoided.
Changing the RouteWhile en route, you may wish to alter
your route, add an interim “Waypoint”
(pit stop), choose a different destination,
or cancel your current destination. To
change your present route, you can do
any of the following:
Say “Menu,” or press the DEST/
ROUTE button to view the DEST
screen ( Route):
• Cancel Route (page 72)
• Detour (page 72)
• Avoid Streets (page 72)
• Change Route Preference (page 72)
• Waypoint (page 73)
• Destination List (page 74) Choose a different destination (other
methods) by:
• Saying, “Find nearest...” to find a POI
(page 75).
• Saying, “Go home” (page 75).
•Using the Interface Dial to select a
different POI or address on the map
(page 75).
• Pressing the DEST/ROUTE button
and selecting the “Dest. MENU 1 or
2” tab on the DEST screen (page 76).
