ProblemSolution
The navigation system does not route me the same 
way I would go or the same way as other mapping 
systems.The navigation system attempts to generate the optimal route. You can change the 
route preferences used when calculating a route.

The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road. ●Check that the GPS antenna (located in the dashboard) is not blocked. For best 
reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar detectors, cellular 
phones, or loose articles.
●Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with GPS reception. 
Please consult your dealer.

How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive 
along?1.Select   and then press the   (Back) icon.
2.Select Settings > Map & Vehicle > Driving Map View.
3.Check that Driving Map View is set to Track Up or 3-D.
4.Select North Up and then select Save.
The “Arrival time” display sometimes increases 
even though I am getting closer to my destination.The “Arrival time” is based on the speed limit on each road. Depending on the 
traffic conditions, the “Arrival time” may be calculated to be earlier or later.
My elevation (shown when I display the current 
position) seems to fluctuate even though my 
elevation has not changed.This is normal. The elevation can vary ±100 ft (30 m) due to GPS calculation errors.
2GPS P. 132
My elevation is missing on the “current position” 
screen.The elevation is only displayed if the GPS antenna can receive signals from at least 
four satellites. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. The elevation is also not 
displayed if the calculated elevation is zero or below sea level.

System Limitations
GPS
The signals received from GPS satellites are 
extremely weak (less than a millionth of the 
strength of a local FM station) and require 
an unobstructed view of the sky. The GPS 
antenna is located in the dashboard. The 
signal reception can easily be interrupted or 
interfered with by the following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side 
windows
• Cellular 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
• Audio electronic devices mounted near 
the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, highway overpasses, 
tunnels, or overhead electrical power 
wiresGPS is operated by the U.S. Department of 
Defense. For security reasons, there are 
certain inaccuracies built into GPS for which 
the navigation system must constantly 
compensate. This can cause occasional 
positioning errors of up to several hundred 
feet (meters).
Address Calculation
The destination icon shows only the 
approximate location of a destination 
address. This occurs if the number of 
possible addresses is different from the 
number of actual addresses on a block. For 
example, the address 1425 on a 1400 block 
with 100 possible addresses (because it is 
followed by the 1500 block) will be shown a 
quarter of the way down the block by the 
system. If there are only 25 actual addresses 
on the block, the actual location of address 
1425 would be at the end of the block.
Database
The digitized map database reflects 
conditions as they existed at various points 
in time before production. Accordingly, 
your database may contain inaccurate or 
incomplete data or information due to the 
passage of time, road construction, 
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may 
be missing when you search the database 
because the name was misspelled, the place 
was improperly categorized, or a place/
landmark is not yet in the database. This is 
also true for police stations, hospitals, EV 
stations, Gas stations and other public 
institutions. Do not rely on the navigation 
system if you need law enforcement or 
hospital services. Always check with local 
information sources.
