Navigation System
Driving to Your DestinationChanging the Routing MethodThe system lets you select the way you 
want to drive to your destination. Before 
selecting OK to calculate a route, you 
can change the routing method by using 
the CHANGE METHOD scroll bar 
back ( ) or forward ( ) buttons. The 
route choices will appear in the address 
box.
NOTE:
When you are en route and want to 
change the routing method, press the 
MENU button, and select Change 
Routing Method on the Change 
route by screen.• “Direct Route” (the factory default) is 
the route that is the quickest (least 
time) and is usually the best choice. If 
you choose any other method, it 
becomes the new default for all future 
routing. Make sure to check the 
routing method if the displayed route 
is not what you expected to see.
• “Easy Route” produces a route with 
the least turns.
• “Maximize Highways,” “Minimize 
Highways,” and “Minimize Toll 
Roads” are also available.
NOTE:
If the trip is greater than 160 kilometres, 
then “Minimize Highways” and 
“Minimize Toll Roads” may be grayed 
out. This is normal.The generated route may not be the 
route you would choose. For safety 
reasons, the system generally applies the 
following rules to your route:
• It tries to avoid shortcuts through 
residential areas.
• Right turns are favored over left turns 
or U-turns.
• Restricted turns (turns that cannot be 
made during certain hours) are not 
used for routing.

you select View Routes, the display 
changes to:
NOTE:
• You may only view routes as shown 
above from the Calculate route to 
screen.
• The selected route method is shown at 
the top of the screen.• It may take several minutes (the 
system displays an hourglass while it 
is calculating) to show all route 
methods, and it is not unusual for the 
different methods to pick the same 
route. Voice commands cannot be 
used while the system is calculating.
• If the trip is greater than 
160 kilometres, then “Minimize Toll 
Roads” and “Minimize Highways” 
may be grayed out. This is normal.
Say or select Summary to display the 
distance and time to go for each route. 
Based on the route data, you can change 
the routing by using the Next and Prev. 
buttons. Once you confirm your 
selection, say or select OK on the 
screen.
NOTE:
Distances and times shown for each 
method in the Summary are 
approximate.After calculating the route with the new 
method, the system displays a map of 
your current location. The calculated 
route will be highlighted as a blue line, 
and a voice prompt will tell you how to 
proceed along the highlighted route. 
Touch VOICE to have the guidance

unverified streets (light brown colour), 
the route line changes to either a blue 
dotted “vector line” pointing to your 
destination, or a blue-pink line. See 
Unverified Area Routing on page 83 for 
a detailed explanation of how to enable 
unverified routing, and the related 
cautions and disclaimers.

Guidance PromptsAs you get near the manoeuvre, you will 
hear a voice reminder and see a pop-up 
window showing you the manoeuvre. 
The number of reminders that you will 
hear before a manoeuvre is determined 
by Guidance Prompts in Setup on 
page 75.
With the factory default (Normal), 
typically you will hear two prompts:
• The first is about 400 metres from the 
manoeuvre.
• The final prompt is close to your 
actual turn.
If the distance between the next two 
driving manoeuvres is very small, both 
manoeuvres are displayed on the screen 
in a single window, and the voice will 
remind you of both of them at the same 
time.NOTE: 
• You can say “Voice” or select 
VOICE on the screen at any time to 
be reminded of the next manoeuvre. 
For information on the available 
voice commands, see Voice 
Command Index on page 131.
• Typically, a pop-up guidance window 
shows your next turn, and a voice 
guidance prompt is heard. The timing 
of these prompts varies, depending on 
the type of road you are on, and the 
distance to your next manoeuvre.
When given guidance in unverified 
areas, the words “if possible” are 
inserted before each guidance prompt. 
See Unverified Area Routing on page 83 
for more details about unverified 
routing.
