unverified streets (light brown color),
the route line changes to either a blue
dotted “vector line” pointing to your
destination, or a blue-pink line. See
Unverified Area Routing on page101
for a detailed explanation of how to
enable unverified routing, and the
related cautions and disclaimers.
NOTE:
 You can always view the entire route by simply saying, “Display entire
route.”
 When your route line uses streets that display traffic information, the route
line may consist of orange or red
segments. This is normal. See Traffic

Viewing/Saving the Current
Location
Whenever you are on a map screen, you
can always obtain your current location
either by pushing in on the Interface
Dial , selecting Show Icon on Map ,
and selecting Current Location , 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 store 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 Current
location screen. 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 MENU screen ( Enter destination
by ) to select the saved location and
return to the same spot.

Navigation System101
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
announcements, before and during the route. These
serve as reminders that you should obey all traffic
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 traffic restrictions.
Guidance
(map/voice)There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidan ce. Voice guidance commands end with the words “if
possible.” This is to remind the driver to verify all
traffic restrictions before making a maneuver.
Directions listA direction list is typically not available. However,
depending on your route, directions are provided to
help you reach the first available verified road. A direction list is provided showing street names and
turn symbols in pink.

System Setup
Unverified Area Routing
When driving to your destination, you
have the choice of using or not using
“unverified” roads. You make this
choice in the SETUP screen. The next
few pages contain an example of a route
to a destination in an unverified area
explaining the routing differences found
in unverified areas.
With Unverified Area Routing OFF ,
the system tries to use verified roads
whenever possible. In this example,
since only verified streets are used, it
created a longer rout e than necessary.
With Unverified Area Routing ON ,
the route is shorter, but consists of
unverified (light colored) streets that
may not be accurate. Because the streets
are unverified, there may be errors in
street location, name, or address range.
Additional caution is recommended in
these areas. Always obey posted traffic
restrictions. Because both routes bypass or use
unverified streets, an initial
Disclaimer
screen is provided. It is recommended
that you stop and review the map.
Unverified Area Routing “OFF” Unverified Area
Routing “ON”
NOTE:
Unverified roads are shown only when
viewing the map in the 1/20, 1/8, and
1/4 mile map scales, or the 80, 200, and
400 meter map scales.

System Setup
Say or select Edit Area to create the
area to be avoided. The following screen
appears:
Either select Address or Map Input
on the Enter avoid area by screen.
Each choice provides a slightly different
way to locate the approximate map
display for drawing th e area you wish to
avoid. After selecting the choice, a
map screen
will be displayed.
Rotate the Interface Dial knob to
select the map scale (available scales are
1/20, 1/8, and 1/4 mile scales). Use the
Interface Dial to move the crosshairs
(red circle) to the de sired start point and
push in on the Interface Dial to “set”
the start point. Then move the
Interface Dial in a straight or diagonal
direction to encompass the area to be
avoided. NOTE:
The maximum size of the “Avoid area”
is 1/4 of the navigation display screen
regardless of the map scale setting.
The selected area will be displayed as a
shaded box with a yellow border. Push
in on the
Interface Dial to set the end
point of the avoided area.
To “redraw” the area, select CANCEL
and repeat the area selection process.

Navigation System107
System Setup
Say or select DONE to return to the
Edit avoid area screen.
If your selected area contains a freeway,
the system will prompt you with a pop-
up box saying “Do you want to avoid
freeways?” Answering “No” allows you
to enter a route through an avoided area
on a freeway and skip the “Avoid area
caution box” (see Pop-Ups and
Disclaimers on page71).
When you return to the Edit avoid area
screen, the “Vicinity” field is
automatically filled in by the system.
Re-edit the area “Name” if desired.
Select Done on the Edit avoid area
screen to finish editing. Your new
avoided area will now appear on the
“Avoid area” list and be viewable on the
map screen. NOTE:
 You can select areas to avoid,
however you cannot select roads or
areas that you want the system to use
for routing.
 If you are drawing a box around a road as an area to avoid, ensure the
following: When you draw the box,
make sure that the road or portion of
a road that you encircled includes an
intersection. For instance, in the
example below, highway 213 will be
avoided, but Van Ness will not be
avoided because it lacks an
intersection in th e enclosed box.Edit Waypoint Search Area
When driving en route to your
destination, you can select a temporary
destination waypoint (marked with a
small flag on the map) along your route
for gas, a restaurant, or other POI. When
you resume your trip from the waypoint,
the system continues the trip to your
original destination. To use this feature,
see Search Waypoint on page74.
This SETUP item allows you to select
the distance from your highlighted route
line (on either side of your route) that
the system will search for a waypoint.
From the Routing & Guidance screen,
select Edit Waypoint Search Area,
and then choose the desired search
distance for either “On Freeways” or
“On Surface Street.”

Clock Adjustment
From the SETUP screen ( Other), say
or select Clock Adjustment and the
following screen appears:
This screen allows you to set or adjust
the following:
 Auto Daylight (Default = ON)
 Auto Time Zone (Default = ON)
 DST (Daylight Savings Time) Selection (change DST schedule)
 Time Adjustment (adjust your clock)
 RESET (resets this screen’s settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight
Sets automatic daylight savings time
ON or OFF . If set to ON , the clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
behind” by one hour when a daylight
savings time change occurs. If you
reside in a state or area where daylight
savings time is not used, then you may
want to turn this feature off.
NOTE:
If you set Auto Daylight to ON , the Auto
Daylight function is activated even in an
area that does not use daylight savings
time.
The federal government has mandated
that, starting in 2007, daylight savings
time will begin in March and end in
November instead of the old schedule
from April to October. The new
schedule is subject to review and
possible cancellation in 2008. The schedules for the time changes are
stored in the software and can be
selected in the
DST schedule
selection screen. Therefore, your clock
will change based on the daylight
savings time schedule.
NOTE:
The automatic clock setting feature
relies on a satellite signal. It will not
work correctly in Hawaii and Alaska.

Auto Time Zone
Sets automatic time zone selection by
GPS to ON or OFF . If you are driving
across the country and passing through
time zones, then this feature will
automatically set the time to the time
zone you are traveling through.
However, if you live and work in two
different time zones, you may want to
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
When driving near a time zone
boundary, the displayed time zone may
fluctuate between the two zone times.
Daylight Savings Time (DST)
Selection (Change DST
Schedule)
This option lets you select the schedule
(April-October or March-
November ) when daylight savings
time will automatically occur in your
navigation system. The system default is
the new 2007 March-November
schedule as mandated by the U.S.
government. During 2008-2009, it is
possible that this new change will be
canceled by the government and
returned back to the previous “April-
October” schedule. If so, simply change
the schedule in this setting back to the
“April-October” schedule.
Time Adjustment
Adjusts the current time in hours and
minutes. Switch HOUR and MINUTE
by moving the Interface Dial left or
right, and change the value by rotating
the Interface Dial knob . Selecting
DONE returns you to the previous
screen. You can reset the adjustment by
selecting RESET.
NOTE:
Selecting RESET also clears any
changes you made to “Auto Daylight,”
“Auto Time Zone,” or “DST Selection”
settings. Depending on your location,
you may need to adjust these settings.
