By PlacesAfter you select Places from the Enter
destination by screen, the display
changes to:
There are three ways to find a place or
point of interest (POI), by Category,
Name, or Phone Number.Let’s assume you want to find a coffee
shop (restaurant) called “Bucks.”
• If you know the phone number of the
coffee shop, select Phone Number,
then enter the 10-digit number with
area code. This is the quickest way to
find it.
•
The second best method is to select Category
, Restaurant
, and
CAFÉ/
COFFEE SHOP
. After you select
Place Name by Keyword and
search method, enter the keyword
“Bucks.” The list will include all
restaurants that have the letters
“bucks” anywhere in the name.
• You can try to enter “Bucks” using
Name, but you may have to search
through a list that might include
Bucks Welding, Bucks Surplus, etc.NOTE:
• Prior to departure, you can set areas
to avoid. The system then includes
them in its calculations for the
destination you have entered. See
Edit Avoid Area on page 87.
• You can enter the desired destination
using the voice control system. For
information on the available voice
commands, see Voice Command
Index on page 131.

Finding the Place by Phone
NumberThe Phone Number option allows
you to select a destination by its
telephone number. Only telephone
numbers stored in the system under the
Places (of business) option are
recognized. The system does not contain
residential telephone numbers, or
numbers you may have entered in your
personal Address Book.
Tip:
If you know the phone number of a point
of interest (POI), its uniqueness makes it
the fastest entry method. When using the
voice control system, the entry should be
spoken as a continuous string of
numbers. For example, the telephone
number (310) 555-4000 should be
spoken as “Three, one, zero, five, five,
five, four, zero, zero, zero.”
By Map InputAfter you select Map Input from the
Enter destination by screen, the
display changes to:
NOTE:
• Prior to departure, you can set areas
to avoid. The system then includes
them in its calculations for the

Edit Avoid Area on page 87.
• For information on the available
voice commands, see Voice
Command Index on page 131.
Showing the Map of Current
PositionThe Current Position selection
assumes that you are looking for a
destination in the immediate area. The
display changes to:
The red arrow indicates your vehicle
position. Find your desired destination
by moving the joystick left, right, up, or
down. The map and crosshairs will
move in the same direction.
The yellow box indicates the area you
will see when you click on the current
map with the joystick. The scale will
decrease each time you push in on the
joystick, until Select a destination
appears at the top of the screen.

Viewing/Saving the Current
LocationWhenever you are on a map screen, you
can always obtain your current location
either by touching the Vehicle Position
icon 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 30 metres 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 screen.
When you select “User 1” or “User 2,”
the Edit address book screen with the
current location data will appear. You
can edit the name, phone number, or
category name to be saved in your
personal Address Book.
After the location is saved, select
Return to return to the map screen.
You can then use Address Book from
the Enter destination by screen to
select the saved location and return to
the same spot.

System Initialization
GPS InitializationDepending on the length of time the
battery was disconnected, your system
may require GPS initialization. If it
does, the following screen appears:
If this procedure is not necessary, the
system proceeds directly to the
Disclaimer screen (see page 16).
During initialization, the system
searches for all available GPS satellites
and obtains their orbital information.
During this procedure, the vehicle
should be out in the open with a clear
view of the sky.If the navigation system finds the
satellites properly, this box clears and
the Disclaimer screen is shown. If
within 10 minutes the system fails to
locate a sufficient number of satellites to
locate your position, the following
screen appears:
If the system is still unable to acquire a
signal, follow the instructions on the
screen, or contact your local dealer for
assistance.
NOTE:
The average acquiring time is less than
10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45
minutes.
Map MatchingThis part of the initialization matches
the GPS coordinates found above with a
road on the map screen. To perform this
part of the procedure, ensure that the
navigation system is displaying a map,
and drive the vehicle on a mapped road
(a road shown on the map screen). Do
not enter a destination at this time.
When the name of the current road you
are driving on appears at the bottom of
the screen, the entire procedure is
complete. Your system is now ready to
use.
The navigation system lost power and is acquiring its
location from the GPS satellites. This usually takes
less than 10 minutes.
* Start the engine.
* Park the vehicle in an open area away from trees,
power lines, and tall buildings.
* Remove loose articles, cell phones, or electrical
accessories located near the GPS antenna.
* If this screen is displayed repeatedly when starting
the vehicle, see your dealer.
Something is interfering with the system’s ability to
acquire its location. Check the following:
* The vehicle must be in an open area with a clear
view of the sky.
* Remove sources of GPS interference like metallic
window tint above antenna, or electrical items
near antenna (see owner's manual for details).
* Check GPS antenna cable connection.
* Restart the engine and repeat the GPS acquire
procedure. If the problem persists, see your dealer.

Navigation System
System LimitationsAlthough your navigation system is one
of the most highly sophisticated pieces
of equipment you will find in a modern
automobile, you may find during its use
that it has certain limitations.
The system uses GPS signals to aid in
determining its current location. The
GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies
built into the GPS that the navigation
system must constantly compensate for.
This can cause occasional positioning
errors of up to tens of metres.
For example, in urban areas where
streets are close together, this could
cause the system to show that you are
travelling on a street that parallels the
street you are actually on. The system
will, under most circumstances, correct
itself while you drive.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 under the
dashboard)
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other
electronic devices docked in a cradle
or lying loose on the dashboard
• Radar detectors mounted 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, highway
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
Routing Method on page 46. You may
also have Unverified Area Routing set
to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 83.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Map and Features, Voice Operation, Entering Addresses
Problem Solution
Why does the Disclaimer screen need to be displayed every
time I start the car? I am the only driver.The Disclaimer screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always
operate the navigation system in a safe manner.
The Setup or Information screen has “grayed out” items that
I cannot select. Why?You need to select OK on the Disclaimer screen to view these items. See
System Function Diagram on page 21.
I tried entering an address, but the city or street could not be
found. Is there any other way to route to the location?Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. Try entering the street
first. In rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be missing
or only partially numbered. Try selecting the destination directly from the
map. See By Map Input on page 36.
When I enter an address, some letters become grayed out. Is
this normal?Yes. As you enter each letter in an address or a point of interest (POI), the
system looks in the database to see what letters are possible and “grays out”
letters that do not apply.
How do I delete Personal Addresses, Previous Destinations,
or the Home Address?This is done in the Setup screen (second) under “Personal Information.”
See page 76.
I cannot hear the navigation system voice. 1) Ensure that Volume in the Setup screen (first) is not Off. See page 73.
2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the Setup screen (second), and set Voice
Recognition Feedback to On. See page 92.
The voice control system is having difficulty recognizing my
voice commands.Ensure that the vents are not blowing on the microphone on the ceiling, the
vehicle is as quiet as possible, and you are using the correct command when
speaking (see Improving Voice Recognition on page 13). Say “Help” at any
screen to see a list of the applicable voice commands. If the system cannot
recognize your command because of background noise, speak louder.
When the system pronounces the street name in the guidance
command or reads the destination address, it sounds strange.
What causes this?The basic guidance phrase uses a studio-recorded voice, but the street name
is pronounced by the system using a machine-generated voice.
Consequently, the name may be mispronounced or sound strange at times.
