Driving to Your Destination
Changing the Routing Method
The 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
moving the Interface Dial down. 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
Method on the MENU screen ( Route).• “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 Freeways,” “Minimize Freeways,” and “Minimize Toll
Roads” are also available.
NOTE:
If the trip is greater than 100 miles, then
“Minimize Freeways” 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.

Navigation System53
Viewing the Routes
Selecting View Routes on the
Calculate route to screen allows you to
scroll through and view the various
routes (Direct, Easy, Maximize
Freeways, etc.) to your destination. If
you select View Routes , the display
allows you to see the distance and time
to go for each route.
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 100 miles, then “Minimize Toll Roads” and
“Minimize Freeways” may be grayed
out. This is normal.
Based on the route data, you can change
the routing method by rotating the
Interface Dial knob. Once you
confirm your selection, say the number
of the desired routing method or push in
on the Interface Dial .
NOTE:
Distances and times shown for each
method are approximate. After calculating the route with the new
method, the system displays a map of
your current locatio
n. The calculated
route will be highlighted as a blue line,
and a voice prompt will tell you how to
proceed along the highlighted route.
Push in on the Interface Dial and
select Voice to have the guidance
repeated.

Selecting View Dest. Map displays a
map of the destination vicinity. Press the
CANCEL or NAVI BACK button to
return. You can view the destination
map anytime while en route by saying,

in real time.
Route Line
When driving to a destination on
verified roads in a metropolitan area, the

unverified streets (light brown color),
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 101
for a detailed explanation of how to
enable unverified routing, and the
related cautions and disclaimers.
NOTE:
You can always view the entire route by simply saying, “Display entire
route.”
When your route line uses streets that display traffic information, the route
line may consist of orange or red
segments. This is normal. See Traffic

Driving to Your Destination
Distance and Time to
Destination
When you select a destination, the
distance to the destination is the actual
road distance of the calculated route,
and not “as the crow flies.” When
viewing a list of destinations (points of
interest), such as restaurants, the
distance is “as the crow flies” (see Sort
by Distance to Travel on page 37).
The displayed time to the destination
may differ from the actual travel time
because the time is calculated based on
the posted road speed data and your
current speed. If part of your route
includes unverified roads, the “distance”
and “time to go” for that portion is
estimated using 25 mph as an average
speed.
