ProblemSolution
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short 
distance behind, especially  when I arrive at an 
intersection.This is normal. The navigati on system is unaware of the width of intersections. 
Large differences in vehicle position ca n indicate a temporary loss of the GPS 
signal.

The screen is showing wh ite dots as I drive along.These dots are called “breadcr umbs.” These are displayed if Off-road Tracking is 
set to  On and you drive more than 1/2 mile off mapped roads.

How do I remove the white dots (“breadcrumbs”) 
from my screen?Select  HOME  > Settings  > Navigation  > Map tab, and set  Off-road Tracking  
to  Off , then return to the map.

at least one intersection.

My elevation (shown when  I display the current 
position) seems to fluc tuate even though my 
elevation has not changed.This is normal. The elevation can vary ±1 00 feet due to GPS calculation errors.
2GPS System  P. 224
My elevation is missing on the “current position” 
screen.The elevation is only displayed if the GPS antenna can receive signals from at least 
four satellites. Try moving the vehicle into  an open area. The elevation is also not 
displayed if the calculated elevation is zero or below sea level.
ProblemSolution

ProblemSolution
The display appears dim when starting the car in 
really cold weather.This is normal. The display will become brighter after a few minutes.
ProblemSolution

image display is delayed.This is normal. When shifting into or out of Reverse, you may experience a delay 
while the screen image switches between  the navigation screen and the multi-
