Address and Contact matches are
shown in full width list format. The
match results will display unique
icons for full addresses, streets,
intersections, cities, states/
provinces, and countries.
POIs show in a split list format with
the map on the right displaying the
locations of the matches. The brand
icon or category icon will display for
the match results.
When a list displays, the results for
a particular type can be filtered by
touching the filters along the top of
the screen. If there are no particular
results for a selected type, a
message is indicated in the list.
For example:
.For no addresses: “No
Addresses Found Within
. For no POIs: “No POIs Found
Within <75 km/50 mi/ 800 km/
500 mi>.” This distance is shown
depending on what radius is
completed and what current
units are selected. .
For no contacts: “No Contacts
Found.”
The system performs partial
searches on contacts, so typing a
first name or last name would find a
match. The entire contact name
does not need to be entered for it to
be found in a search.
Touching a contact listed on the
results list displays the standard
contact details view to select an
item, such as an address to start
routing, or a phone number to place
a call.
Address
. A destination can be searched
by typing out the address,
intersection, highway, or freeway
entrance ramps on the keyboard. This information is
typed and displayed in the
information field. Touch the
search icon to start the search.
For example:
City:
Crawford
Street: Main Rd
House #: 12334
. Country information does not
have to be included in the
search field if entering an
address that is located in the
same state.
. Whenever the keyboard view is
entered, the last text that was
typed, even if it was not
searched on, will display.
. A partial or complete address
can be typed in the search field.
If a partial address is typed, the
system attempts to use local
knowledge to fill in additional
information. For example, if no
city name or state/province are
given, the system assumes a
search for something in the
current city or a nearby city in

Problems with Route
Guidance
Inappropriate route guidance can
occur under one or more of the
following conditions:
.The turn was not made on the
road indicated.
. Route guidance might not be
available when using automatic
rerouting for the next right or
left turn.
. The route might not be changed
when using automatic rerouting.
. There is no route guidance when
turning at an intersection.
. Plural names of places might be
announced occasionally. .
It could take a long time to
operate automatic rerouting
during high-speed driving.
. Automatic rerouting might
display a route returning to the
set waypoint if heading for a
destination without passing
through a set waypoint.
. The route prohibits the entry of a
vehicle due to a regulation by
time or season or any other
regulation which may be given.
. Some routes might not be
searched.
. The route to the destination
might not be shown if there are
new roads, if roads have
recently changed, or if certain
roads are not listed in the map
data. See Maps030.
To recalibrate the vehicle's position
on the map, park with the vehicle
running for two to five minutes, until
the vehicle position updates. Make
sure the vehicle is parked in a
location that is safe and has a clear
view of the sky and away from large
obstructions.
If the System Needs
Service
If the navigation system needs
service and the steps listed here
have been followed but there are
still problems, see your dealer.
Map Data Updates
The map data in the vehicle is the
most up-to-date information
available when the vehicle was
produced. The map data is updated
periodically, provided that the map
information has changed.
For questions about the operation of
the navigation system or the update
process, contact the GM Nav Disc
Center toll-free phone number,
1-877-NAV-DISC (1-877-628-3472)

Over-the-Air Vehicle Map
Updates
If equipped, the infotainment system
can receive map updates over the
air. Map updates occur within a
161 km (100 mi) radius around the
home address on file. This
boundary will adjust over time
based on driving patterns. The
vehicle uses a Cloud-connected
service to receive the data and
downloads it to the system’s
onboard SD card, if equipped. The
SD card is required for navigation
system function.
When a map update is available, a
prompt will appear on the
infotainment display. Once the
update is accepted, it will download
and run in the background without
interrupting any infotainment
functions. The download will carry
over ignition cycles, stopping and
starting where it left off. The
updates can be set to download
automatically.See www.gmnavdisc.com for
information on ordering, purchasing,
and installing a new or replacement
SD card. Features are subject to
change. For more information on
this feature, see my.buick.com/
learn.
Database Coverage
Explanations
Coverage areas vary with respect to
the level of map detail available for
any given area. Some areas feature
greater levels of detail than others.
If this happens, it does not mean
there is a problem with the system.
As the map data is updated, more
detail can become available for
areas that previously had limited
detail. See
Map Data Updates 048.

50 Voice Recognition
Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation within the
navigation, audio, phone, and
weather applications. This feature
can be started by pressing
gon the
steering wheel controls or by
touching
gon the infotainment
display.
However, not all features within
these areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks that require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two touches such as
selecting a song or artist to play
from a media device would be
supported by voice commands.
Other tasks, like adjusting the
volume or seeking up or down, are
audio features that are easily
performed by pressing one or two
controls, and are not supported by
voice commands. In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks. Most of them, except
destination entry and voice keypad,
can be completed in a single
command. If the task takes more
than one command to complete, the
first command should be to indicate
the kind of task to be performed, like
“Navigation Destination Entry.”
The
system replies with prompts that
lead you through a dialog to enter
the necessary information. For
example, if a destination for route
guidance is needed, say
“Navigation” or“Destination Entry.”
Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See “Retained Accessory Power
(RAP)” in the owner ’s manual.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been
initialized. This begins when the
ignition is turned on. Initialization
may take a few moments. 1. Press
gon the steering wheel
controls to activate voice
recognition, or touch
gon the
infotainment display.
2. The audio system mutes and the system plays a prompt
followed by a beep.
3. Wait until after the beep completes, then clearly speak
one of the commands
described in this section.
A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted while
it is playing by pressing
gon
the steering wheel controls
again.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, press
gagain and the
beep should happen
right away.
