— Route guidance screen
When starting route guidance, the following
screen is displayed.
This screen displays the route that guides the
driver to the destination.
The route to the destination is indicated by a
highlighted line. Drive along the guided route.
When the vehicle approaches a guidance
point such as an intersection or a freeway, the
screen automatically divides in two to display
the guidance screen. (For details, see page
53.)
The current street name will be displayed at
the bottom of the screen.
In some areas, the roads have not been com-
pletely digitized in our database yet. For this
reason, the route guidance may guide the
road that is not allowed to pass.

sages as you approach an intersection, or
other point where you need to maneuver the
