The navigation system sometimes provides a detour route when I am drivi
ng a route on the freeway.
If Traffic Rerouting
is set to
ON
, the navigation system provides a detour route to
your destination only if it can find a signific
antly faster route than the original one.
2Traffic Rerouting
P. 52
The navigation system routes me to an exit and an alternate freeway with unknown flow speeds or surface streets.
The navigation system predicts which ro
ute should be faster based on freeway
congestion along your route. Use your own experience to determine whether the alternate route would be faster.
How can I ignore the detour route and return to the original route?

224Reference Information
System LimitationsGPS SystemThe signals received from the GPS
satellites
are extremely weak (less than a
millionth of the strength of a local FM
station) and require an unobstructed view of sky. The GPS antenna is located in the dashboard.
The signal reception can
easily be
interrupted or interfered with by
the following:
•Metallic window tint on the front or side windows•Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle or lying loose on the dashboard•Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle tracking systems mounted near the navigation unit•Audio electronic devices mounted near the navigation unit•Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead electrical power wiresThe GPS is operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. For security reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built into the GPS for wh
ich the navigation
system must constantly compensate. This
can cause occasional positioning errors of up to several hundred feet.Address CalculationThe destination icon shows only the approximate location of a destination address. This occurs if the number of possible addresses is different from the number of actual addresses on a block. e.g., the address 1425 on a 1400 block with 100 possible addresses (because it is followed by the 1500 block) will be
shown
a quarter of the way down the
block by
the system. If there are only 25
actual addresses on the block, the actual
location of address 1425 would be at the end of the block.
DatabaseThe digitized map database reflects conditions as they existed at various points in time before production. Accordingly, your database may contain inaccurate or incomplete data or information due to the passage of time, road construction, changing conditions, or other causes. For example, some places/landmarks may be missing when you search the database because the name was misspelled, the place was improperly categorized, or a place/landmark is not yet in the database. This is also true for police stations, hospitals, and other public institutions.
Do
not rely on the navigation system if
you
need law enforcement or hospital
services.
Always check with local
information sources.
