Introduction
Verified streets Unverified streets
When
displayed These roads are found within metropolitan areas, and
include interstate freeways and major roads connecting
cities. These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include
residential streets away from the center of a town.
Street color Shown as red (freeways), pink
(state routes), or gray
(verified streets) on the daytime map screen. Shown on the daytime
map screen as purple.
Map quality The database vendor has verified these streets.
Information like turn rest
rictions, average speed, and
whether it is a one-way street have been gathered and
used when creating your route to a destination. These streets have not been verified by the database vendor.
The system does not contain in
formation on one-way streets,
turn restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown
on the map for reference and may have errors in map location,
naming, and address range.
Routing
differences While driving to your destination, the displayed route
line is solid blue. The system provides voice and map
guidance to your destination. Your route line is either a pur
ple dotted “vector line,” or a
dashed pink/blue line. For information on selecting this option,
and the routing differences, see Unverified Area Routing on
page 106.
Cautions There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during
a route. However, because
roads constantly change,
you are urged to use common sense, and always obey
posted traffic restrictions. Regardless of whether the user chooses route guidance, there
are cautionary screens before and during the route urging the
user to be extra cautious, and obe
y all traffic restrictions. See
Unverified Area Routing on page 106.
Guidance
voice Voice guidance issues instruct
ions such as “In a half-
mile, make a right turn.” The phrase “if possible” is added
to each guidance instruction.
For example: “In a half-mile, ma ke a right turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go” The time and distance “to go,”
displayed while en route
to a destination, is based on the average speed and
distance for the roads used for your route. The time and distance “to go,”
displayed while en route to a
destination, is based on the av erage speed and distance for the
roads used for your route.
