System Limitations
Also, 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 Issues
The 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 on the back of the
navigation display)
• Cell 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 • Other aftermarket audio electronic
devices mounted near the navigation
unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway 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 rout e. Try changing the
method of routing. See Changing the
Route Preference on page53. You may
also have Unverified Area Routing set
to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 106.
Additionally, the mapping database
contains verified and unverified maps.
See Map Overview on page6. 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. The destination icon shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block) Since most cities use
only a portion of the 100 possible
addresses (for example, in the 1400
block, the addresses may only go up to
1425 before the 1500 block starts), the
address 1425 will be shown a quarter of
the way down the block by the system
instead of at the end of the block where
the destination is
actually located.
You may find that the system
occasionally reboots. This is indicated
by the display returning to the
navigation system globe screen. A
reboot can be caused by a number of
things, such as extreme temperatures or
shock from bumpy roads. It does not
necessarily indicate a problem that
requires service. If this happens
frequently, please see your dealer.

ProblemSolution
The navigation system does not route me the same way I
would go, or the way some ot her mapping program displays.
Why is this? The navigation system attempts to
generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Route Preference on page53.
The navigation wants to rout e me around potential traffic
problems. How do I stop these pop-up messages? This feature can be turned off. See
Traffic Rerouting on page110.
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 page134 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 on the back
of the navigation display) may be
blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the
dashboard, such as radar detector s, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or othe r aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on
page 129.
I entered a destination, but th e blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my dest ination. Why is this? Your route has entered
an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 106.
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this? Select the North-up map orientati on by voice, or by selecting North-up
from the Map menu . See Map Orientation on page 63.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orienta tions. Why is this? The Heading-up map orientat
ion can only be shown in the lower scales (1/
20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page66.
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 your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based on your actual spee d to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
