Guidance ScreenThe
guidance
screen offers an alternative
way to view your route information.
Many of the icons and screen features are
similar to those on the
map
screen. While
driving to your destination, press the
MAP/GUIDE
button to switch between
the
map
and
guidance
screens. The
guidance
screen shows you:
Milestone to Destination – The
position of the small circular icon shows
your trip progress. As you get closer to
your destination, the indicator will
approach “DEST.”
Vehicle Heading – The white portion of
the compass symbol indicates north.
NOTE:• The map and voice guidance in
unverified areas differ from those in
verified areas.• Current manoeuvres and those within
300 metres will show on the
Countdown bar, indicating the
distance until the next manoeuvre.

Navigation System
Driving to Your DestinationDistance and Time to
DestinationWhen you select a destination, the
distance to the destination is the actual
road distance of the calculated route,
and not “as the crow flies.” When
viewing a list of destinations (points of
interest), such as restaurants, the
distance is “as the crow flies” (see Sort
by Distance to Travel on page 35).
The displayed time to the destination
may differ from the actual travel time
because the time is calculated based on
the posted road speed data and your
current speed. If part of your route
includes unverified roads, the “distance”
and “time to go” for that portion is
estimated using 40 km/h as an average
speed.
Direction ListWhen you press the MAP/GUIDE
button on the guidance screen, the
display changes to:
NOTE:
• The map and voice guidance in
unverified areas differ from those in
verified areas. See Unverified Area
Routing on page 83.
• Only manoeuvres that occur at
highway exits or contain highway exit
information will show the exit info
icon ( ) on the right end of the
items in the Direction list. If no exit
info icon is shown on the list, the Exit
Info. is grayed out.You can see the Direction list and the
distance to each manoeuvre. Press the
MAP/GUIDE button to return to the
previous screen.
You can scroll through the Direction
list screen by screen using the scroll bar,
or one instruction at a time using the
joystick.

Navigation System53
Exit Info. (Highway Exit
Information)NOTE:
Currently, only available when
travelling in the United States.
You can search highway exit
information and add new destinations or
waypoints to the calculated route as a
new destination or waypoint. The exit
info icon ( ) on the right end of the
items in the direction list indicates that
there is highway exit information
available. Say or select Exit Info., and
choose the exit and place to set as a new
destination or waypoint.
On the map screen, you can display
highway exit information using the
joystick. The exit info icon will only be
displayed on the map screen if there is
any highway exit information available.
Choose the 400, 800 metre, or
1.6 kilometre scale, then move the
crosshairs to the desired exit info icon
and click on it. Choose a place from the
list and set it as a new destination or
waypoint.NOTE:
To turn on “Highway exit information”
on the map screen, display the icon bar
and select the icon (see page 58).
Guidance ModeWhen en route to a destination, you
have two display options: single-screen
mode (the factory default) and split-
screen mode.
Single-screen mode – A map is
displayed with occasional guidance
pop-up windows as you approach a
manoeuvre.
Split-screen mode – The map is always
displayed on the left of the screen, and
the manoeuvre 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 page 90)
or by accessing the icon bar (see
Guidance Mode on page 54) .When you get near the manoeuvre, the
map screen changes to:
On the map screen, the location of the
manoeuvre 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 manoeuvre, 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.

Zooming in increases the detail, while zooming out gives you a view of a wider area. After changing the scale, give the system a
few moments to update the display.

Navigation System55
Map OrientationThe 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.Touch the Map Orientation icon on the
map screen to switch between the
available orientation, or say “Display
heading up” or “Display north up.”
In the larger map scales (above 1.6
kilometre or 1 mile), the map is always
oriented with north facing upward. You
cannot change the orientation.
NOTE:
For information on the available voice
commands, see Voice Command Index
on page 131.
Destination IconThe 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.”

Driving to Your DestinationShowing Icons on the MapTouching the ICON button on the map
screen displays the following screen:
The screen consists of the following
items:Icon Bar (row of icon symbols)The icon bar allows you to manually
select the icons that are displayed on the
map (see page 56 for a list of these
icons). In the screen above, both gas
stations and restaurants are selected.
Touch the icons to select (goes blue) or
remove them (goes gray). You can also
display or hide the same icons by using
the “Display” or “Hide” voice

some of the icons on the Icon bar (see
Icon Options for more information).Guidance ModeWhen en route, this item allows you to
select between a single-screen (with
occasional pop-up guidance windows),
or a split-screen (containing one-half
map and one-half guidance/directions
list window). See page 53 for an
explanation of this feature, and see

following screen:
This feature allows you to “fine tune”
some of the icons on the Icon bar. The
three icon choices – “Parking” (lot or
garage), “Restaurant” (specific type or
types of food), and “Other icons”
(hospitals, schools, etc.) – can each be
tailored to your needs.

Navigation System59
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.

Navigation System
Driving to Your DestinationGoing Off the RouteIf you leave the calculated route,
“Recalculating...” is displayed at the top
of the screen. The system will
recalculate the route from your current
location and direction to the desired
destination, and then give you a new
route instruction. This is done
automatically if you have set
Rerouting to Automatic on the
Setup screen (second) (see page 82).
If the Rerouting option in Setup is set
to Manual, “Off route” appears at the
top of the screen when you leave the
calculated route. Say “Recalculate” or
select Recalculation whenever you
wish the system to perform a
recalculation.
Off-road TrackingIf you drive more than 800 metres from
a mapped road, “Not on a digitized
road” appears at the bottom of the
screen.
The map screen starts displaying a
series of dots (breadcrumbs) to show the
path you have taken if Off-road
Tracking on the Setup screen (second)
is set to On (see page 90).By following the dots, you can
backtrack to the mapped road you
originally left. “Breadcrumbs” may
occasionally be displayed in urban
areas, such as large parking lots in
shopping malls, or in new subdivisions
where the roads are not yet in the
database. In other cases, you may see
dots if the system temporarily goes off
route, like in a parking garage where the
GPS signal is unavailable.
These dots appear only in the 80, 200,
400, and 800 metre (or 1/20, 1/8, 1/4,
and 1/2 mile) map scales. Use the
ZOOM buttons to change scales if
necessary.
Tracking continues for approximately
240 kilometres; dots at the beginning of
the trail will start disappearing when
you exceed that distance. When you
reach a mapped road, the system stops
displaying dots.
