For instance, let’s assume that school
icons are 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 page 67).
• 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 previous example, 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
page 159 for the available “Display”
and “Hide” icon command.

Navigation System69
Going Off the Route
If 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 (Other) (see page 100).
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. Sa y “Recalculate” or
select Recalculation whenever you
want the system to perform a
recalculation.
Off-road Tracking
If you drive more than half a mile 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
(Other) is set to ON (see page 111). 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 shoppi
ng 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 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile (or 80, 200, 400, and
800 meter) map scales. Rotate the
Interface Dial knob to change scales
if necessary.
Tracking continues for approximately
150 miles; dots at the beginning of the
trail will start disappearing when you
exceed that distance . When you reach a
mapped road, th e system stops
displaying dots.

Viewing/Saving the Current
Location
Whenever you are on a map screen, you
can always obtain your current location
either by pushing in on the Interface
Dial , selecting Show Icon on Map ,
and selecting Current Location , or by
using the voice control system and
saying “Display current location.” A
screen pops up which shows the address
of your current location, as well as the
latitude, longitude, and elevation. NOTE:
The elevation will not appear when the
system is temporarily lacking proper
GPS information. The system elevation
may not agree with elevations shown on
roadside elevation signs, and may
fluctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more.
You can store the current location for
later use. It does not change or cancel
your current route.
For example, you are following the
system’s directions to get to a
destination. While sitting at a stoplight
you notice a store on the corner, but do
not have time to visit it right now. You
can save the location to select as a
destination at a later date.To save the location, say “Save current
location” or select
Save on the Current
location screen. When you select
“User 1” or “User 2”, the Edit address
book screen with the current location
data will appear. You can edit the name,
phone number, or category name to be
saved in your personal Address Book.
After the location is saved, select
Return to return to the map screen.
You can then use Address Book from
the MENU screen ( Enter destination
by ) to select the saved location and
return to the same spot.

Traffic Rerouting
When driving en route to your
destination with Traffic Rerouting
ON , the system can fi nd a faster route
based on traffic flow information or
detect a Road Closed incident and find a
detour route. In either case, the system
automatically recalculates and displays
a pop-up box to signify that the route
has changed.
You can also calculate the detour route
manually by choosing to avoid specific
incidents and/or congestion on your
route. Say “Display traffic incidents” or
“Display traffic list,” and select the “On
Route” tab on the Traffic Incidents
screen. Select an incident from the list, and push
in on the
Interface Dial twice. The
system will read the incident
information, di splaying the
confirmation screen:
When you say or select Avoid, the
system recalculates a detour route
avoiding the road. NOTE:
When you select the “All” tab, Avoid
is not displayed.
To activate this function, you need to set Traffic Rerouting to ON in the
Routing & Guidance settings (see
page 105).
Because the criterion for whether the traffic event is to be detoured or not is
included in the traffic event data
itself, the traffic rerouting is not
performed for all the traffic incidents
ahead on the route.
Even when the rout e recalculation is
performed for a traffic event, if the
system cannot find any detour route
or a quicker detour route, the event
location is not always avoided.
Traffic rerouting is available only if you have a current traffic/weather
subscription with XM. See page 115.

Navigation System73
Changing the Route
While en route, you may wish to alter
your route, add an interim “Waypoint”
(pit stop), choose a different destination,
or cancel your current destination.
To change your present route, you can
do any of the following:
Say “Menu,” or press the MENU button
to view the MENU screen ( Route):
• Cancel route (page 73)
• Change method (page 73)
• Search waypoint (page 74)
• Delete waypoint (page 75)
• Back to route (page 75)
• Avoid street (page 75)
• Detour (page 75)
Choose a different destination (other
methods) by:
• Saying “Find nearest...” to find a POI (page 76). • Saying “Go home” (page 76).
• Using the
Interface Dial to select a
different POI or address on the map
(page 76).
•Pressing the MENU button and selecting the “Enter destination by”
tab on the MENU screen (page 77).
MENU Screen (Route)
Pressing the MENU button displays the

74Navigation System
Search Waypoint
Waypoints allow you to add an interim
“pit stop” while traveling to a
destination. For instance, you may want
to stop for gas or food, and then
continue on to your destination.
Although you can enter up to five
waypoints at a time, typically you may
never use more than one at a time.
Waypoints are routed to in the order
they were entered (number 1 first, etc.),
with your final destination routed to last.
If you wish to create a custom route of
several destinations, and then control
the order of routing, the function
“Today’s Destinatio ns” is probably a
better choice (see By Today’s
Destinations on page 48). When you enter waypoints, they appear
on the
map screen as small red flags
numbered 1-5.
Adding Waypoint
From the MENU screen ( Route), if you
say or select Search Waypoint , then
the Select a search method screen is
displayed. Select either Places Along
the Route or Places Around the
Destination.
Next, select your “Waypoint Category,”
then follow the menu prompts to select a
destination. When the system performs
a search from Places Along the
Route , it displays matches that lie
within a corridor on either side and in
front of you along your route.

Navigation System75
Driving to Your Destination
From Places Around the
Destination , the system displays
matches in a spiral pattern outward from
the destination. The search “corridor”
distance value can be changed in Edit
Waypoint Search Area in SETUP
(see page 107).
To add another waypoint, press the
MENU button and repeat the procedure.
If Search Waypoint is grayed out, the
maximum of five waypoints has been
entered.
NOTE:
The system does not allow you to select
the roads you want to use to get to a
destination. However, after you enter a
destination, you can select intersections
or POI waypoints that the system will
use to tailor your route.Delete Waypoint
From the MENU screen ( Route), if you
say “Delete” or select Delete
Waypoint , then the Select a waypoint
to delete screen is displayed. Say the
line number of the waypoint(s) you wish
to delete, or select them by using the
Interface Dial . Say or select DONE to
return to the map screen.
The route is recalculated to reflect the
changes you made to the waypoint(s).
Back to Route
Returns you to the original map screen.
Avoid Street
From the MENU screen ( Route), if you
say or select Avoid Street , the system
displays a list of streets that will get you
to your destination. This feature allows
you to avoid a street or streets along
your route. This is helpful if you know
of road construction, closures, or
excessive traffic along the route. Simply
select the street or streets you wish to
avoid. You cannot avoid your current
street, or the streets of your waypoint(s)
or destination (syste m beeps if selected).
NOTE:
Although you can ch oose streets to
avoid, you cannot choose specific
streets you want to use.
Detour
Calculates a detour route for you if you
encounter an unexpected obstacle such
as a closed road or extremely heavy
traffic congestion. If a detour is
selected, the system will attempt to
recalculate a new route, avoiding the
next 2 miles (while on a freeway) or 1/2
mile (while on a surface street).

76Navigation System
Changing Your Destination
There are four methods by which you
can change or add a waypoint to your
route. These are:
Find Nearest (Voice command)
From the map screen, say one of the
“Find Nearest...” voice commands to
locate the nearest gas station, ATM,
restaurant, or other point of interest. See
the “Find Nearest” voice commands
listing on page 160.
Go Home (Voice command)
From the map screen, say “Go home.”
If you have entered a “Go home”
address, then the system will display a
confirmation screen.
