Introduction
4 Navigation System
Manual Overview
The manual is divided into the

communicate with the system.

(POI).
• Driving to Your Destination - An explanation of the map features,
guidance, and cautions.

• Map Coverage (page 136 )
• Cities with Traffi
c Coverage (page 150 )
• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) (page 155 )
• Troubleshooting Guide (page 163 )

(page 152 )
System Overview
Your navigation system is a highly
sophisticated location system with
voice control that uses satellites and a
map database to show you where you
are and to help guide you to a desired
destination.
The navigation system receives signals
from the global positioning system
(GPS), a network of 24 satellites in
orbit around the earth. By receiving
signals from several of these satellites,
the navigation system can determine the
latitude, longitude, and elevation of your
vehicle. In addition, a gyroscopic yaw
sensor and a vehicle speed sensor in
your vehicle keep track of the direction
and speed of travel at all times.

Getting Started
16 Navigation System
Entering Information
When the system needs input from you,
the display changes to a screen similar
to the one on the next page. You can
then use the displayed letters, numbers,
or symbols to enter information. You
can enter your keyboard input in either
of the following ways:
• Say the desired letter, number, or
symbol on the screen if you are
entering a city or street name.
• Move the highlighting to the desired letter, number, or symbol by rotating
the Interface Dial knob , then push
in on the Interface Dial .
Each entered letter will appear at the
top of the display. To enter a space
between words, say “Space” or move
the Interface Dial to the right. To
delete an entry, say “Delete” or move
the Interface Dial to the left. If a letter has options (such as accent
marks or symbols), they will appear
in gray next to the selected letter on
the upper row. Move the Interface
Dial
up to select OPTION, and use
the Interface Dial knob to select the
letter.
To enter symbols, rotate the Interface
Dial Knob and select # or @, then
move the Interface Dial up to select
OPTION .
When entering an address, the system
searches the database for words that
match the letters you are entering. As a
result, you will notice that some letters
are no longer available.
When the system fi nds only one entry
that matches, it completes the name
entry for you. If the system fi nds more
than one entry that matches your input,
a list of these matches is displayed. Tip:
When entering a name of a city, street,
or place, or if you are unsure of the
spelling of the name, enter the letters
that you are sure of, then move the
Interface Dial
down to select LIST.
The system will display a list of names
that most closely match your input. For
each letter that is entered, the number
of corresponding choices is displayed
on the right-hand side.

By Place Category
After you select Place Category from
the DEST screen ( Dest. MENU 1 ), the
display changes to:
If you select a category from the list,
you can select even more detailed
sub-categories.
Let’s assume you want to fi nd a coffee
shop (restaurant) called “Bucks.”
• If you know the phone number of the coffee shop, select Place Phone
No. , then enter the 10-digit number
with area code. This is the quickest
way to fi nd it. See By Place Phone
Number on page 43 . • The second best method is to select
Place Category , then Restaurant,
then CAFÉ /COFFEE SHOP , and
then enter the keyword “Bucks.” The
list will include all restaurants that
have the letters “bucks” anywhere in
the name.
• You can try to enter “Bucks” using Place Name , but you may have
to search through a list that might
include Bucks Welding, Bucks
Surplus, etc.
NOTE:
• Prior to departure, you can set areas to avoid. The system then includes
them in its calculations for the
destination you have entered. See
Edit Avoid Area on page 110 .
• You can enter the desired destination using the voice control system. For
information on the available voice
commands, see Voice Command
Index on page 167 .
Subcategories
If you select a subcategory and move
the Interface Dial down, the
subcategory is stored to “ My
Favorites .” A maximum of 30
subcategories may be stored.
Tip:
If you are not sure of the spelling of
a place, the best way to fi nd it is to
use the keyword search. Select Place
Category , choose a category and
subcategory from the menus, then
select Search by Keyword , and
enter the partial name.
