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 black portion of 
the compass symbol indicates north.
NOTE:
 The map and voice guidance in  unverified areas differ from those in 
verified areas.
 Current maneuvers and those within  1000 feet will show on the 
Countdown bar, indicating the 
distance until the next maneuver.

Driving to Your Destination
Distance 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 page32).
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 25 mph as an average 
speed.
Map MenuWhen the  map screen is displayed, 
pressing in on the  Interface Dial 
displays the  Map menu. If the map is 
scrolled, the  Map menu will not 
appear. Move the  Interface Dial left or 
press the  CANCEL  button to return to 
the basic  map screen.
Voice -  Button shown if currently en 
route. Select to hear the next guidance 
maneuver (see page 50).
Directions -  Button shown if currently 
en route. Select to see a list of directions 
to your destination (see page 50).North-up/Heading-up -
 Select 
Heading-up or  North-up button to 
change map orientation. See  Map 
Orientation  on page57 for details. On 
scales greater than 1 mile, this button is 
grayed out (North-up only mode).
Show Icon on Map -  Allows you to 
select the icons displayed on the map 
(for a thorough description of this 
feature, see Showing Icons on the Map  
on page 60).
By voice control, you  can select the icon 
by saying the name of the icon (“gas 
station,” “ATM,” etc.). Say the icon 
name again to turn the icon off.

On the map screen, you can display 
freeway exit information using the

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 
maneuver.
Split-screen mode  - The map is always 
displayed on the left of the screen, and 
the maneuver 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 94), or by accessing the icon bar 
(see  CHANGE GUIDANCE MODE  on 
page 60). When you get near the maneuver, the 
map
 screen changes to:
On the map  screen, the location of the 
maneuver is marked with a small yellow 
square. The guidance window is simply 
an enlargement of th e area indicated by 
the yellow square. Af ter you complete 
the maneuver, 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

Driving to Your Destination
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. Push in on the 
Interface Dial  on the 
map  or guidance screen and select 
North-up or  Heading-up  to switch 
between the available orientation, or say 
“Display heading up” or “Display north 
up.”
In the larger map scales (above 1 mile or 
1.6 kilometer), 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 140.
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 destin ation is actually 
located.
Tip:
When en route, you can view a map 
showing your destin ation. Using voice 
control, say “Display  destination map.”
