Detailed Areas
Road network attributes are
contained in the map database for
detailed areas. Attributes include
information such as street names,
street addresses, and turn
restrictions. A detailed area includes
all major highways, service roads,
and residential roads. The detailed
areas include points of interest
(POIs) such as restaurants, airports,
banks, hospitals, police stations,
gas stations, tourist attractions, and
historical monuments. The map
database may not include data for
newly constructed areas or map
database corrections after the
production of the infotainment
system. The navigation system
provides full route guidance in the
detailed map areas.
Navigation Symbols
Following are the most common
symbols that appear on a map
screen.
The vehicle symbol indicates the
current position and heading
direction of the vehicle on the map.
The destination symbol marks the
final destination after a route has
been planned.
The waypoint symbol marks one or
more set waypoints.
A waypoint is a stopover destination
point added to the planned route.

For more information if the GPS is
not functioning properly, see
Problems with Route Guidance on
page 77 andIf the System Needs
Service on page 78.

At times, the position of the vehicle
on the map could be inaccurate due
to one or more of the following
reasons:
.The road system has changed.
.The vehicle is driving on slippery
road surfaces such as sand,
gravel, or snow.
.The vehicle is traveling on
winding roads or long straight
roads.
.The vehicle is approaching a tall
building or a large vehicle.

to a freeway.
.The vehicle has been transferred
by a vehicle carrier or a ferry.
.The current position calibration
is set incorrectly.

speed.
.The vehicle changes directions
more than once, or the vehicle is
turning on a turn table in a

exiting a parking lot, garage, or a
lot with a roof.
.The GPS signal is not received.
.A roof carrier is installed on the
vehicle.

.The tires are replaced or worn.
.The tire pressure for the tires is
incorrect.
.This is the first navigation use
after the map data is updated.
.The 12-volt battery is
disconnected for several days.
.The vehicle is driving in heavy
traffic where driving is at low
speeds, and the vehicle is
stopped and started repeatedly.
Problems with Route
Guidance
Inappropriate route guidance can
occur under one or more of the
following conditions:
.The turn was not made on the
road indicated.
.Route guidance might not be
available when using automatic
rerouting for the next right or
left turn.
.The route might not be changed
when using automatic rerouting.

Black plate (78,1)Buick LaCrosse Infotainment System - 2013 - CRC - 12/12/12
78 Infotainment System
.There is no route guidance when
turning at an intersection.
.Plural names of places might be
announced occasionally.
.It could take a long time to
operate automatic rerouting
during high-speed driving.
.Automatic rerouting might
display a route returning to the
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. SeeMaps on page 58. 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
obstruction.
If the System Needs
Service
If the navigation system needs
service and the steps listed here
have been followed but there are
still problems, see your dealer for
assistance.
Map Data Updates
The map data in the vehicle is the
most up-to-date information
available when the vehicle was
produced. The map data is updated
periodically, provided that the map
information has changed.
For questions about the operation of
the navigation system or the update
process, contact the GM Nav Disc Center toll-free phone number,
1-877-NAV-DISC (1-877-628-3472)
or go to the center
’s website,
www.gmnavdisc.com. If updates are
needed, call the GM Nav Disc
Center or order a new Map Update
online. To order map data, have the
vehicle’s Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) available. See
“Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN)” in the owner manual.
After receiving the updated map
data, see Maps on page 58.
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 on
page 78.
