Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
Problem Solution
The navi does not route me the same way I would go, or the
way some other mapping progr am displays. Why is this? The navigation system attempts to
generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Routing Method on page 51.
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year. The mapping database is
constantly undergoing revision. See page 116 for
ways to obtain the latest de tailed coverage information.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road and the
“GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is
white or missing. The GPS antenna (located under the center of the dash) may be blocked by
personal items. For best reception, remove items from the dash, such as
radar detectors, cell phone s, or loose articles.
Metallic tinting or other after-marke t devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on
page 111.
I entered a destination, but th e blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/purple dashed
line before I got to my destination. Why is this? Your route has entered
an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 92.
The map rotates while I make a turns, How can I stop this? Select the “North-up” map orientation by voice, or by selecting “North-up”
from the map menu. See Map Orientation on page 61.
Sometimes I cannot select between the North-up, and
Heading-up map orientations, why is this? The “Heading-up” map orientation can
only be shown in the lower scales
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page 60.
While driving to my destinati on, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases even though I am getting closer. The “Time to go” is based on actual
road speeds. However if you speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based of your actual spee d to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short distance
behind especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong? No, when at an intersection, the syst
em is unaware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences is vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page 111.
