Driving to Your Destination
For instance, let’s assume that your
school is not displayed on the map, and
you want to make sure that your settings
are correct. You would do the
following:
 First, you would ensure that the “OTHER ICON” button on the Icon
bar is blue (see Icon Bar on page67).
 Second, you select ICON OPTIONS
and verify that the school option is
also on (blue). This procedure is
explained below.
If you select Other Icons from the
Select category for icon settings
screen, the other icon options are
displayed: In the example above, only
ATM and
POST OFFICE are selected and will
show up on the map. To also see
SCHOOL on the map, this would need
to be turned on by first selecting it and
then pushing in on the Interface Dial
to select it so it appears as below.
Exit, and save your settings by moving
the Interface Dial to the right
(DONE ). NOTE:
 When viewing the
map screen, you
can turn some icons on using voice
control.
 See Voice Command Index on
page154 for the available “Display”
and “Hide” icon command.

System Setup
Unverified Area Routing
Allows you to receive turn-by-turn ma p and voice guidance in unverified areas when en route to a destination (see Map Overview
on page6). The chart below illustrates th e routing 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 navigate manually by using the
navigation map and choosing th e streets that lead to the
destination. The driver un derstands that unverified
roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range. The driver chooses to let th
e navigation system suggest
possible routing. The driver understands that in some
cases, guidance may not be appropriate. Unverified
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
unverified streets on the ma
p while traveling to your
destination. This is in sharp contrast to the normal blue
route line displayed in verified areas.
Cautionary
messagesThere are cautionary pop-up screens and voice
