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 in the
status bar.
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 036
and If the System Needs Service

.
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.
. There is no route guidance when
turning at an intersection.
. Plural names of places might be

.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 Maps026.
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.
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.
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, call the GM Nav Disc
Center at 1-877-NAV-DISC
(1-877-628-3472) or see
www.gmnavdisc.com. If updates are
needed, call the GM Nav Disc
Center or order online.
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 date and
downloads it to the system’s
onboard SD card, if equipped. A data plan or compatible mobile
device hotspot is required. 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
interruption 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 details
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/

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. SeeMap Data Updates 037.

Voice Recognition 39
Voice Recognition
If equipped, voice recognition allows
for hands-free operation within the
navigation, audio, and mobile
device applications. This feature
can be started by pressing
gon the
steering wheel or by touching
gon
the infotainment display with the
navigation application.
However, not all features within
these areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks that require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two touches, such as a
song or artist to play from a media
device, would be supported by voice
commands. Other tasks, like
adjusting the volume or seeking up
or down, are audio features that are
easily performed by touching one or
two options, and are not supported
by voice commands. In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks.
Try stating a One-Shot command,
such as
“Directions to address
.” Do not
include the ZIP code while stating
the address during the command.
Another example of a One-Shot
Destination Entry command is,
“Directions to Place of Interest at
.” If these commands do not
work, try saying, “Take me to Place
of Interest” or“Find address” and
the system will walk you through by
asking additional questions.
Hybrid Speech Recognition
If equipped, this feature helps
distinguish words by using
Internet-based information along
with the system’ s voice recognition
database. This allows you to speak
more naturally when using voice
recognition.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been
initialized. This begins when the
ignition is turned on. Initialization
may take a few moments.
1. Press
gon the steering wheel
controls to activate voice
recognition.
2. The audio system mutes and the system plays a prompt.
3. Clearly speak one of the commands described in this
section.
A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted while
it is playing by pressing
g
again.
Once voice recognition is started,
both the infotainment display and
instrument cluster show the
selections and visual dialog content.
These displays can be turned on or
off in the Tutorial Mode under
Settings 053.
