For instance, let’s assume that hospital
icons are not displayed on the map. You
would do the following:
• First, you would ensure that the
OTHER ICON button on the Icon
bar is blue (see Icon Bar on page 58).
• Second, you select Icon Options
and verify that hospital 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 icons options are
displayed:In the previous example, POST
OFFICE and SCHOOL are selected
and will show up on the map. To also
see HOSPITAL on the map, this would
need to be turned on to select it so it
appears as below.
Exit, and save your settings by selecting
Done.NOTE:
• When viewing the map screen, you
can turn some icons on using voice
control.
• See Voice Command Index on
page 132 for the available “Display”
and “Hide” icon command.

System Setup
Unverified Area RoutingAllows you to receive turn-by-turn map and voice guidance in unverified areas when en route to a destination (see Map Overview
on page 6). The chart below illustrates the 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 the streets that lead to
the destination. The driver understands that unverified
roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range.The driver chooses to let the 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 map while travelling 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 guidance. Voice guidance commands end with the words “if possible.” This
is to remind the driver to verify all traffic restrictions before
making a manoeuvre.
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
With Unverified Area Routing Off,
the moment you enter an unverified
street a caution box appears on the
screen, and is read by the voice. This
lets you know that you are about to enter
an unverified area and that you will be
following a dotted “vector line” that
points to your destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On,
a caution box appears on the screen and
is read by the voice. In this case, you
will be presented with a dashed blue/
pink line instead of the regular blue
route line. This is your signal to pay
attention to posted traffic restrictions.
You cannot assume that all guidance is
appropriate.
In both cases, when you actually enter
the unverified street, a short caution will
remind you. You will see and hear this
short caution message whenever you
enter unverified areas.Unverified Area Routing “Off” Unverified Area Routing “On”

System SetupWith Unverified Area Routing Off,
you are presented with a blue “vector
line” that always points to the
destination. You must manually choose
streets from the map that will lead to
your destination. No guidance is
provided, and there are no directions to
the destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On,
a blue/pink route line is shown for
unverified segments. Voice guidance
commands in unverified areas always
end with “if possible.” This is your
signal that you should use additional
caution, and obey all traffic restrictions.
The manoeuvre window “arrow” shows
any portions of unverified turns in blue/
pink dashes.
These guidance manoeuvres are only a
suggestion. You should always confirm
that the manoeuvre is possible. A
direction list is also provided that shows
any unverified roads in a blue colour,
with pink arrows pointing to the next
manoeuvre.Unverified Area Routing “Off”
NOTE:
There is no VOICE button shown on the

Navigation System107Coverage Areas
Map CoverageThe system discs installed at the factory
provide map coverage for the lower 48
U.S. states and Canada. The U.S. map
coverage consists of accurately mapped
(verified) metropolitan areas (in the
following list) and a less accurate
(unverified) rural database. Canada
coverage consists of major metropolitan
areas and major roads connecting the
metropolitan areas. When travelling to
U.S. destinations not included in the
Canada DVD, you will need to use both
the Canada and United States DVDs to
travel to your final destination.
The cities and metropolitan areas in the
following list are fully mapped. Only
major streets, roads, and highways have
been verified outside these areas. If your
route passes through these areas, routing
may be limited, depending on your
routing choices (see Unverified Area
Routing on page 83).
U.S. Detailed Coverage AreasNOTE:
The blue city names are included in the
Canada DVD. To obtain coverage for
cities listed in black, please insert the
United States DVD. In order to plot a
route to some of these destinations you
may be required to use both the Canada
and United States DVDs. DVDs are not
available at your dealer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
Problem Solution
The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or
the way some other mapping program displays. Why is this?The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Routing Method on page 46.
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page 103 for
ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road, and the
“GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is
white or missing.• The GPS antenna (located under the centre of the dashboard) may be
blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the
dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on page 98.
I entered a destination, but the blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my destination. Why is this?Your route has entered an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 83.
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this? Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by touching the map
orientation icon on the map screen. See Map Orientation on page 55.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations. Why is this?The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales
(80 metre - 1.6 kilometre scales). See Map Scale on page 54.
While driving to my destination, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer.The “Time to go” is based on actual road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based on your actual speed to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short distance
behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong?No. When at an intersection, the system is unaware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page 98.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ordering a Navigation DVD, Coverage, Map Errors, Limitations
Problem Solution
I want to buy a new DVD. How do I purchase one? You cannot obtain a new DVD from the dealer. See Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD on page 103.
I want to order a DVD. How can I determine the DVD version
in my navigation system?The version is on the label of your DVD. It starts with “Ver:.” See Changing
the DVD on page 104.
I got a navigation DVD from a friend or an online source, but
it does not work. Why?Your vehicle was designed to use a turquoise (blue/green) DVD. DVDs
with differently coloured labels or from different manufacturers will not
operate correctly. Always obtain DVDs from the DVD order desk. See
page 103.
When is my city going to become part of a fully verified
detailed coverage area?The mapping database vendor is constantly revising map coverage. See
page 103 for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
Will the navigation system work outside Canada? The navigation system contains maps only for Canada and the lower 48 U.S.
states. The system will not work in Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, or overseas.
U.S. coverage is limited. See Map Coverage on page 107.
Can I play video DVDs in my navigation system? No. The navigation system is designed only to read the turquoise (blue/
green) DVD provided with your vehicle. Map discs for other vehicle
manufacturers or PC map programs will not work.
I found some errors in the database. How do I report them? Minor errors are bound to occur in a large database. If you encounter major
errors, you can report them following the instructions on page 102.
