Unverified Area Routing
Allows you to receive turn-by-turn map and voice guidance in unverified areas when on route to a destination (see Map Overview
on page6). The chart below illustrates the rou ting differences with this setting On or Off.
Unverified Area Routing: Off (factory default) Unverified Area Routing: On
Decision:
Why choose
On or Off? The driver wishes to navi
gate manually by using the
navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to
the destination. The dr iver understands that
unverified roads may not be accurate, and can contain
errors in location, na ming, and address range. The driver chooses to let the na
vigation system suggest possible
routing. The driver understands th at in some cases guidance may
not be appropria te. Unverified roads ma y not be accurate, and
can contain errors in locati on, naming, and address range.
What you
will see… A blue dotted vector line is
displayed on the map that
continually points to your destination. The driver
should stop and then use the ma p to select streets that
lead to the destination. A blue-pink dashed route line
highlights suggested unverified
streets on the map while traveling to your destination. This is in
sharp contrast to the normal blue route line displayed in verified
areas.
Cautionary
messages There are cautionary pop-up screens and voice
announcements, before and
during the route. These
serve as reminders that you should obey all traffic
restrictions. There are cautionary pop-up sc
reens and voice announcements,
before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you
should exercise additional ca ution, and obey all traffic
restrictions.
Guidance
(map/voice) There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance. Voi
ce guidance commands end with the words “If possible.”
This is to remind the driver to verify all traffic restrictions
before making a maneuver.
Directions

y not available. However,
depending on your route, dire ctions are provided to
help you reach the first available verified road. A direction list is provided s
howing street names and turn
symbols in pink.

Unverified Area Routing
When driving to your destination, you
have the choice of using or not using
“unverified” roads. You make this
choice in Setup screen (second). The
next few pages contain an example of a
route to a destinatio n in an unverified
area explaining the routing differences
found in unverified areas.
With Unverified Area Routing Off ,
the system tries to use verified roads
whenever possible. In this example,
since only verified streets are used, it
created a longer rout e than necessary.
With Unverified Area Routing On ,
the route is shorter, but consists of
unverified (light co lored) streets that
may not be accurate. Because the streets
are unverified, there may be errors in
street location, name, or address range.
Additional caution is recommended in
these areas. Always obey posted traffic
restrictions.
Because both routes bypass or use
unverified streets, an initial Disclaimer
screen is provided. It is recommended
that you stop and review the map. Unverified Area Routing “Off” Unverified Area Routing “On”
NOTE:
Unverified roads are shown only when
viewing the map in the 1/20, 1/8, and
1/4 mile map scales, or the 80, 200, and
400 meter map scales.
2008 TL

90Navigation System
With Unverified Area Routing Off ,
the driver chose to take a shortcut, and
avoid the long route. The moment you
enter an unverified street, a caution box
appears on the screen, and is read by the
voice. This lets you know that you are
about to enter an unverified area and
that you will be following a dotted
“vector line” that points to your
destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On ,
a caution box appear s on the screen and
is read by the voice. In this case you will
be presented with a dashed blue/pink
line instead of the regular blue route
line. You cannot assume that all
guidance is appropriate. This is your
signal to pay attention to posted traffic
restrictions.
In both cases, when you actually enter
the unverified street, a short caution will
remind you. You will see and hear this
short caution message whenever you
enter unverified areas. Unverified Area Routing “Off” Unverified Area Routing “On”
