When you touch the “Chg. route”
switch, the screen changes to a “Change
route” screen that allows you to select
the distance you want to detour. Touch
one of the numeral keys to start the de-
tour process. After detouring, the system
returns to the original guidance route.
Whole route: If you touch this switch,
the system will calculate an entire new
route to the destination.
INFORMATION
When your vehicle is on a freeway,
the detour distance selections are
5, 15, and 25 miles.
The system may not be able to cal-
culate a detour route depending on
the selected distance and sur-
rounding road conditions.

Points of interest such as gas stations
and restaurants can be displayed on
the map screen. You can also set their
location as a destination and use them
for route guidance.

To display a particular type of point of
interest on the screen, touch the
“POI” switch on the map screen.
L00087
A window with a limited choice of points
of interest will be displayed. When you
touch your desired type of point of inter-
est, symbols will appear on the map
screen indicating where the POI address-
es are located.
L00088
More: If you cannot find your desired
point of interest on the limited choice
screen, touch this switch. The screen
then displays the complete POI listing
screen.
You can display up to 5 categories of
icons on the screen.
L00089
When you select a point of interest type
from either the limited list or the com-
plete list, the screen will display symbols
at those locations on the map screen.
Touching the
“Delete” switch will de-
lete the last selected icon.
Local POI list: If you want to search the
nearest point of interest, touch this
switch. Then choose one of the catego-
ries. The system will list the points within
20 miles.
You can sort the local POI list three dif-
ferent ways as follows.
Icon: In the order of the POI icons
Dist: In the order of distance from your
current location
Name: In alphabetical order by name

You can change the orientation of the
map from the northup to the head-
ingup by touching the orientation
symbol on the screen.
Northup symbol
Regardless of the direction of vehicle
travel, North is always up.
Headingup symbol
The direction of the vehicle travel is al-
ways up. A red arrow indicates North.This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However, the accurate posi-
tion may not be shown depending on
the satellite condition, road configura-
tion, vehicle condition or other circum-
stances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense provides an accurate
current vehicle position using 3 to 4 sa-
tellites. The GPS system has a certain
level of inaccuracy. While the navigation
system will compensate for this most of
the time, occasional positioning errors up
to 300 feet can and should be expected.
Generally, position errors will be cor-
rected within a few seconds.

When your vehicle is receiving signals
from the satellites, the “GPS” mark ap-
pears at the top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically ob-
structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle
position on the map display. Tunnels, tall
buildings, trucks, or even the placement
of objects on the instrument panel may
obstruct the GPS signals.
The installation of window tinting may
also obstruct the GPS signals. Most win-
dow tinting contains some metallic con-
tent that will interfere with the GPS signal
reception. We recommend not to use the
window tinting on vehicles equipped with
navigation systems.The GPS satellites may not send signals
due to repairs or improvements being
made to them.
Even when the navigation system is re-
ceiving good GPS signals, the vehicle
position may not be shown accurately or
inappropriate route guidance may occur
in some cases.
When driving on a small angled Y−
shaped road.
When driving on a spiral road.
When driving on a slippery road such
as in sand, gravel, snow, etc.
When driving on a long straight road.
When freeway and surface streets run
in parallel.
After moving by ferry or vehicle carri-
er.
When a long route is searched during
high speed driving.
When driving without setting the cur-
rent position calibration correctly.
After repeating a change of directions
by going forward and backward, or
turning on a turntable in the parking
lot.
When leaving a covered parking lot or
parking garage.
When a roof carrier is installed.
When driving with the tire chains
installed.
When the tires are worn.
After replacing a tire or tires.
When using tires that are smaller or
larger than the factory specifications.
(a) Accurate current vehicle
position may not be shown in
the following cases:

4Runner_Navi_U (L/O 0308)

2004 4RUNNER Navigation from Aug. ’03 Prod. (OM35813U)
When the tire pressure in any of the
four tires is not correct.
INFORMATION
If your vehicle cannot receive GPS
signals, you can correct the current
position manually. For the informa-
tion on setting the current position
calibration, see page 90.
When turning at a wrong intersection
off the designated route guidance
If you set more than one destination
but skip any of them, auto reroute will
display a route returning to the des-
tination on the previous route when
you try to skip any of the destinations.
When turning at an intersection, there
is no route guidance.
When passing through the intersection,
there is no route guidance.
During auto reroute, the route guid-
ance may not be available for the next
turn to the right or left.
It may take a long time to operate
auto reroute during high speed driving.
In auto reroute, a detour route may be
shown.
After auto reroute, the route may not
be changed.
An unnecessary U−turn may be shown
or announced.
A location may have multiple names
and the system will announce one or
more.
Some routes may not be searched.
If the route to your destination in-
cludes gravel, unpaved roads or al-
leys, the route guidance may not be
shown.
Your destination point might be shown
on the opposite side of the street.
When a portion of the route has regu-
lations prohibiting the entry of the ve-
hicle that vary by time or season or
other reason.
The road and map data stored in your
navigation system may not be com-
plete or may not be the latest release.
When replacing the tire(s), perform cal-
ibration. See page 90 for detailed in-
formation.
(b) Inappropriate route
guidance may occur in the
following cases:

for route guidance. (See the following
pages.) In one type of area, primarily
around metropolitan centers, detailed
route guidance is available for the en-
tire area. In the other type of area, all
roads are displayed on the map but
route guidance is limited. The naviga-
tion route might lack precision be-
cause the data (no right turns, one
way traffic, etc.) is not complete. It is
still possible to reach the destination
by following the arrow direction and
distance as shown on the bottom left
of the screen. The arrow points in the
direction of the destination. The dis-
tance shown is as measured in a
straight line from the current vehicle
position to the destination area.

In order to provide you with accurate
map information as much as possible, we
are always gathering information such as
road repairs and doing site investigation.
However, the names of roads, streets,
facilities, and their locations are often
changed. In some places, construction on
roads may be in progress. For that rea-
son, information on some areas in this
system might be different from the actual
location.
