Split-Screen Guidance
When en route to a destination, you
have two display options: single-screen
mode (the factory default) and the split-
screen mode.
Single-screen mode - A map is
displayed with occasional guidance
pop-up windows as you approach a
maneuver.
Split-screen mode - The map is always
displayed on the left of the screen, and
the maneuver or direction list is
displayed on the right-hand side of the
screen.
Guidance mode can be changed in either
SETUP (see Guidance Mode on
page108), or by accessing the icon bar
(see CHANGE GUIDANCE MODE on
page67). When you get near the maneuver, the
map
screen changes to:
On the map screen, the location of the
maneuver is marked with a small yellow
square. The guidance window is simply
an enlargement of the area indicated by
the yellow square. After you complete
the maneuver, the display returns to a
full map screen when the single-screen
mode is set, or to a map and direction
list screen when the split-screen mode is
set.

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. Push in on the
Interface Dial on the
map or guidance screen and select
North-up or Heading-up 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 Interface Dial 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 MENU screen ( Enter
destination by ).
NOTE:
 For information on the available voice commands, see Voice
Command Index on page153.
 If you are en route and the Interface
Dial is moved, the “Time to
Destination” and “Distance to
Destination” indications are
replaced with an indicator showing
distance from the current vehicle
location.

Destination Icon
The destination icon only shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block). Most cities use only
a portion of the 100 possible addresses
(for example, in the 1400 block, the
addresses may only go up to 1425
before the 1500 block starts). Therefore,
the address 1425 will be shown a
quarter of the way down the block by
the system instead of near the end of the
block where the destination is actually
located.
Tip:
When en route, you can view a map
showing your destination. Using voice
control, say “Display destination map.”
Various Other Icons
Landmark Icons
Landmark icons are shown in the map
screen on the 1/20 and 1/8 mile scales or

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.
