In the larger map scales (above 2 mile),
the map is always oriented with north
facing upward. You cannot change the

can always obtain your current location
either by pushing in on the Interface
Dial , selecting Current Location
from Map Information , 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 no
t 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 100 feet 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.

Driving to Your DestinationWaypointWaypoints allow you to add an interim
“pit stop” while traveling to a
destination. For instance, you may want
to stop for gas or food, and then
continue on to your destination.
Although you can enter up to five places
including the destination at a time,
typically you may never use more than
one at a time.
Waypoints are routed to in the order
they were entered (number 1 first, etc.),
with your final destination routed to last.
When you enter waypoints, they appear
on the map screen as small red flags
numbered 1-4.
Adding WaypointFrom the MENU screen ( Route), if you
say or select Waypoint, the Add
waypoint screen is displayed.
Select either SEARCH AROUND or
SEARCH ALONG by rotating
Interface Dial knob .Next, select the category from the
“Main” or “Fav. Subcategory” tab on
the
Category screen, then follow the
menu prompts to select a destination.
When the system performs a search
from SEARCH ALONG , it displays
matches that lie within a corridor on
either side and in front of your route.
From SEARCH AROUND , the system
displays matches that are a uniform
distance from the departure point/
waypoint/destination.
The search “corridor” distance value
can be changed in Edit Waypoint
Search Area in SETUP (see
page 112).

System SetupAfter you have traveled approximately
1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the
system will display a series of white
dots on the map screen to show the path
you have traveled. This is provided so
you can follow the dots to backtrack to
the mapped road you originally left.
Tracking continues until you reach a
mapped road. See Off-road Tracking on
page 71.
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile scales. Rotate the
Interface Dial knob to change the
scale if necessary.
NOTE:
To clear existing dots, turn this feature
OFF and exit SETUP. To re-enable this
feature, return to SETUP and turn it on
again.
Correct Vehicle PositionThe system relies on satellites for
positioning information. Buildings,
tunnels, and other objects can block or
reflect these signals, requiring the
system to use “dead reckoning” to
determine your loca tion and direction.
This can sometimes lead to small errors
in positioning, such as showing you on
an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle
position is not recommended. When the
system acquires a GPS signal, it will
automatically place the vehicle in the
correct location.
If you choose to do this, follow these
steps: 1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Select
Correct Vehicle Position ,
and the system will display the
Correct vehicle position screen.
3. Use the Interface Dial to move the
vehicle position arrowhead to the
