Frequently Asked Questions
158 Navigation System
Guidance, Routing
Problem Solution
The navigation system does not route me the same way
I would go, or the way some other mapping program
displays. Why is this? The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See
Changing
the Routing Method o n p a g e 5 3 .
The navigation wants to route me around potential traffi c
problems. How do I stop these pop-up messages? This feature can be turned off. See
Traffi c Rerouting on page 112 .
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has
been here for more than a year. The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page 136 for ways
to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road and
the “GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the
screen is white or missing. • The GPS antenna (located on the back of the navigation display) may
be blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the
dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on page 131 .
I entered a destination, but the blue highlighted route
and voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink
dashed line before I got to my destination. Why is this? Your route has entered an unverifi
ed area. See Unverifi ed Area Routing on
page 108 .
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop
this? Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by selecting
North-up from
the Map menu. See Map Orientation on page 64 .
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations. Why is this? The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales (1/20 -
1 mile scales). See
Map Scale on page 66 .
While driving to my destination, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer. The “Time to go” is based on actual road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffi
c, the system updates the “Time
to go” based of your actual speed to give you a better estimate of arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short
distance behind, especially when I arrive at an
intersection. Is there anything wrong? No. When at an intersection, the system is unaware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See
GPS Reception Issues on page 131 .

Glossary
164 Navigation System

Glossary
The following is a glossary of terms
pertaining to the voice recognition
navigation system.
Avo i d A r e a - Areas you wish to avoid
can be entered into the system, and
will be avoided while routing.
Breadcrumbs - Off-road tracking dots
that can be followed on the map to
retrace your route back to a mapped
(digitized) road. This function can be
turned on/off in the SETUP screen
( Other ).
Database - This consists of the map data, and the POI (Points of Interest)
data stored on the HDD.
DCA - Detailed Coverage Area. U.S.
states, as well as Canada, Puerto
Rico, and Mexico, are mapped. See
page 136 for a list of these areas. Digitized Road
- A road that appears
on the navigation screen. The road
name will appear at the bottom of the
navigation screen. If the user drives
“off road,” the navigation system will
display “breadcrumbs,” depending
on how far you drive from a mapped
road.
Disclaimer Screen - Screen containing
cautionary information. It is meant to
be read carefully and acknowledged
by the client when using the
navigation system.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions. See
page 155 for a list of the client FAQs and
troubleshooting information.
GPS - Global Positioning System.
A network of 24 satellites in orbit
around the earth. The navigation
system can simultaneously receive
signals from up to 12 satellites to
accurately position the vehicle on the
map. GPS Antenna - Located on the back of
the navigation display, which is in the
center of the dashboard. Electronic
items operating in this general
location can interfere with the GPS
signal.
HDD - Hard Disk Drive. The primary
data storage device containing your
vehicle’s navigation and map software
and uploaded wallpaper images. The
HDD can also store audio fi les. See
the Audio section of your owner’s
manual for more information.
HFL - Bluetooth
® HandsFreeLink®.
Your vehicle is equipped with
this feature, which uses Bluetooth
technology as a wireless link between
the vehicle and your Bluetooth-
compatible cell phone.
