Special Character List
The following characters have
special characters beneath them:
Character Handwriting
Recognition
Character handwriting recognition is
offered as an alternative to using a
keyboard. This character input
method allows the drawing out of
characters instead of picking them
out from the keyboard. Character
handwriting recognition has two
main modes, upper case and mixed
case. The upper case mode is used
for Destination Entry while mixedcase is used for all other character
entry modes. This feature is
available by touching the globe icon
from the keyboard display.
The Handwriting Recognition screen
is split into different zones:
.
Drawing Pad: This is the area
to draw a character. Draw a
character in the display area.
When the first character is
complete, a representation of
that character can be seen, and
there is an audible response.
If the character is correct, the
next character can be started
immediately.
‐ To delete the last entered
character, draw a line from left
to right across the character
field.
‐ To create a space, draw a line
from right to left across the
character field.
. Prioritized Guess List: This
area displays a list of guesses
for the character drawn.
If character recognition displays the incorrect character, look at
this list and see if the desired
character is available to select.
Scroll up or down the list, then
highlight the desired character.
Touching a character from the
list will replace the incorrect
character with the desired
character. The character is
displayed in the character entry
section of the display.

Within <75 km/50 mi/ 800 km/
500 mi>.” This distance is shown
depending on what radius is
completed and what current
units are selected. .
For no contacts: “No Contacts
Found.”
The system performs partial
searches on contacts, so typing a
first name or last name would find a
match. The entire contact name
does not need to be entered for it to
be found in a search.
Touching a contact listed on the
results list displays the standard
contact details view to select an
item, such as an address to start
routing, or a phone number to place
a call.
Address
. A destination can be searched
by typing out the address,
intersection, highway, or freeway
entrance ramps on the keyboard. This information is

address that is located in the
same state.
. Whenever the keyboard view is
entered, the last text that was
typed, even if it was not
searched on, will display.
. A partial or complete address
can be typed in the search field.
If a partial address is typed, the
system attempts to use local
knowledge to fill in additional
information. For example, if no
city name or state/province are
given, the system assumes a
search for something in the
current city or a nearby city in

Global Positioning
System (GPS)
The position of the vehicle is
determined by using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, and
map data.
At times, other interference such as
the satellite condition, road
configuration, condition of the
vehicle, and/or other circumstances
can affect the navigation system's
ability to determine the accurate
position of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position
of the vehicle using signals sent by
GPS Satellites. When the vehicle is
not receiving signals from the
satellites, a symbol appears on the
map screen. SeeNavigation
Symbols 031. This system might not be available
or interference can occur if any of
the following are true:
.
Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks,
or a tunnel.
. Satellites are being repaired or
improved.
For more information if the GPS is
not functioning properly, see
Problems with Route Guidance 048
and If the System Needs Service

set waypoint if heading for a
destination without passing
through a set waypoint.
. The route prohibits the entry of a
vehicle due to a regulation by
time or season or any other
regulation which may be given.
. Some routes might not be
searched.
. The route to the destination
might not be shown if there are
new roads, if roads have
recently changed, or if certain
roads are not listed in the map
data. See Maps030.
To recalibrate the vehicle's position
on the map, park with the vehicle
running for two to five minutes, until
the vehicle position updates. Make
sure the vehicle is parked in a
location that is safe and has a clear
view of the sky and away from large
obstructions.

Over-the-Air Vehicle Map
Updates
If equipped, the infotainment system
can receive map updates over the
air. Map updates occur within a
161 km (100 mi) radius around the
home address on file. This
boundary will adjust over time
based on driving patterns. The
vehicle uses a Cloud-connected
service to receive the data and
downloads it to the system’s
onboard SD card, if equipped. The
SD card is required for navigation
system function.
When a map update is available, a
prompt will appear on the
infotainment display. Once the
update is accepted, it will download
and run in the background without
interrupting any infotainment
functions. The download will carry
over ignition cycles, stopping and
starting where it left off. The
updates can be set to download
automatically.See www.gmnavdisc.com for
information on ordering, purchasing,
and installing a new or replacement
SD card. Features are subject to
change. For more information on
this feature, see my.buick.com/
learn.
Database Coverage
Explanations
Coverage areas vary with respect to
the level of map detail available for
any given area. Some areas feature
greater levels of detail than others.
If this happens, it does not mean
there is a problem with the system.
As the map data is updated, more
detail can become available for
areas that previously had limited
detail. See
Map Data Updates 048.
