Solution
The navigation system does not route me the same 
way I would go or the same way as other mapping 
systems.
The navigation system attempts to generate the optimal route. You can change the 
route preferences used when calculating a route. 2Route Preference 
P. 54
The navigation system wants to route me around 
potential traffic problems. How do I stop these pop-up 
messages?
Press the SETTINGS button. Select  Navi Settings > Routing , and set  Traffic 
Rerouting  to Off . 2Traffic Rerouting 
P. 58
The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.
The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. You can access the most 
recent information on the internet. 2Map Coverage 
P. 313
The vehicle position icon is not following the road and 
the “GPS icon” text in th e upper left hand corner of 
the screen is white or missing.
• Check that the GPS antenna (located in the dashboard) is not blocked. For best  reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones, 
or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devi ces can interfere with the GPS reception. 
Please consult a dealer. 2 GPS System

The blue highlighted route and voice guidance 
stopped or turned into a blue/pink line before I got to 
my destination.
Your route has entered an unverified area. 2Unverified Routing 
P. 56
How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive along?
Press the SETTINGS button. Select  Navi Settings > Map >  View > North-Up , or say 
d  “Display north-up”  to change the map orientation.
The “time to destination” display sometimes increases 
even though I am getting closer to my destination.
If your speed reduces due to slower traffic,  the navigation system updates the “time to 
destination” based on your actual road 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.
This is normal. The navigation system is un aware of the width of intersections. Large 
differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal. 2 GPS System
