Unverifi ed Area Routing
Allows you to receive turn-by-turn map and voice guidance in unverifi ed areas when en route to a destination (see Map
Overview on page 6 ). The chart below illustrates the routing differences with this setting ON or OFF .
Unverifi ed Area Routing: OFF (factory default) Unverifi ed Area Routing: ON
Decision:
Why choose
ON or OFF? The driver wishes to navigate manually by using the
navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to the
destination. The driver understands that unverifi
ed roads
may not be accurate, and can contain errors in location,
naming, and address range. The driver chooses to let the navigation system suggest
possible routing. The driver understands that in some cases
guidance may not be appropriate. Unverifi
ed roads may not
be accurate, and can contain errors in location, 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 map to select streets that lead to the
destination. A blue-pink dashed route line highlights suggested
unverifi
ed streets on the map while traveling to your
destination. This is in sharp contrast to the normal blue
route line displayed in verifi ed 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 traffi
c restrictions. There are cautionary pop-up screens and voice
announcements, before and during the route. These serve as
reminders that you should exercise additional caution, and
obey all traffi
c restrictions.
Guidance

Voice guidance commands end with the words “if possible.”
This is to remind the driver to verify all traffi c restrictions
before making a maneuver.

depending on your route, directions are provided to help you
reach the fi
rst available verifi ed road. A direction list is provided showing street names and turn

any portions of unverifi ed turns in blue/
pink dashes.
These guidance maneuvers are only
a suggestion. You should always
