By Previous Destinations
Every time you route to a destination,
that destination is saved by the system.
Up to 50 destinations can be stored.
Select Previous Destinations from
the Enter destination by screen to
choose one of those destinations.
After you select Previous
Destinations , the display lists the last
50 destinations entered, with the most
recent appearing first.

grayed out, there is no Previous
Destination entered.  When finishing a “Today’s
Destinations” trip, the Today’s
Destination list entries are stored to
this list, beginning with the date (e.g.,
item 1 shown above).
 Because both the Home and personal Address Book list can be protected by
a PIN, they do not show up in the
previous destination list.
Scroll through the list and say the line
number (1-6) of the destination, or touch
the desired destination you want.
Once you select the desired destination,
the system then displays the Calculate
route to screen (see Driving to Your
Destination on page43).

 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 page86.
 For information on the available voice commands, see Voice
Command Index on page124.

Driving to Your Destination
Changing the Routing Method
The system lets you select the way you
want to drive to your destination. Select
the desired method using the CHANGE
METHOD scroll bar back ( ) or
forward ( ) buttons.
The following methods are available to
change after you have set a destination:
While on a map screen, press the
MENU button. The Change route by
screen will be displayed. Say or select
Change Routing Method , and the
screen changes to:  “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 “short cuts” 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 during any time of
the day.

 If the trip is greater than 100 miles, then “Minimize Freeways” and
“Minimize Toll Roads” may be
grayed out. This is normal.

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 page34).
The displayed time to 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” fo r that portion is
estimated using 25 mph as an average
speed.
Direction List
If you select Directions on the map or
guidance screen, the display changes
to:
NOTE:
 The map and voice guidance in unverified areas differ from those in
verified areas. See Unverified Area

Map Orientation
The map can be orientated two ways:
 North-up: North pointing up as you
would normally view a paper map.
 Heading-up: The map constantly rotates so the road you are driving on
always points up (as you see the road
through your front windshield).
NOTE:
The red arrow in both heading symbols
always shows the direction north. Touch the Map Orientation icon on the
map screen to switch between the
available orientation, or say “Display
heading up” or “Display north up.”
In the larger map scales (above
1 mile or 1.6 kilometer), the map is
always oriented with north facing
upward. You cannot change the
orientation.
To view other areas on the map, move
the joystick left, right, up, or down. The
map will shift in that direction. To
return the map to your current location,
press either the
MAP/GUIDE, the
CANCEL , or the NAVI BACK button
on the steering wheel. The display automati
cally changes to
the map screen when you reach your
destination. Press the MENU button to
return to the Enter destination by

Viewing/Saving the Current
Location
Whenever you are on a map screen, you
can always obtain your current location
either by touching the Vehicle Position
icon or by using the voice control
system and saying “Display current
location.” A screen pops up which
shows the address of your current
location, as well as the latitude,
longitude, and elevation. NOTE:
The elevation will not appear when the
system is temporarily lacking proper
GPS information. The system elevation
may not agree with elevations shown on
roadside elevation signs, and may
fluctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more.
You can store the current location for
later use. It does not change or cancel
your current route.
For example, you
are following the
system’s directions to get to a
destination. While sitting at a stoplight
you notice a curio shop on the corner,
but do not have time to visit it right now.
You can save the location to select as a
destination at a later date. To save the location, say “Save current
location” or select
Save on the screen.
When you select “User 1” or “User 2,”
the Edit address book screen with the
current location data will appear. You
can edit the name, phone number, or
category name to be saved in your
personal Address Book.
After the location is saved, select
Return to return to the map screen.
You can then use Address Book from
the Enter destination by screen to
select the saved loca tion, and return to
the same spot.

Waypoints
Waypoints allow you to add an interim
“pit stop” while traveling to a
destination. For inst ance, you may want
to stop for gas or food, and then
continue on to your destination.
Although you can enter up to five
waypoints at a time, typically you may
never use more than one at a time.
Waypoints are routed to in the order
they were entered (number 1 first, etc.),
with your final destination routed to last.
If you wish to create a custom route of
several destinations , and then control
the order of routing, the function
“Today’s Destinations” is probably a
better choice (see By Today’s
Destinations on page39).
