Driving to Your Destination
Changing Routing Method
The system lets you select the way you
want to drive to your destination. Before
selecting OK to calculate a route, you
can change the routing method by
moving the Interface Dial down. The
route choices will appear in the address
box.
NOTE:
When you are en route and want to
change the routing method, press the
MENU button, and select Change
Method on the MENU screen ( Route). “Direct Route” (the factory default) is
the route that is the quickest (least
time) and is usually the best choice. If
you choose any other method, it
becomes the new default for all future
routing. Make sure to check the
routing method if the displayed route
is not what you expected to see.
 “Easy Route” produces a route with the least turns.
 “Maximize Freeways,” “Minimize Freeways,” and “Minimize Toll
Roads” are also available.
NOTE:
If the trip is greater than 100 miles, then
“Minimize Freeways” and “Minimize
Toll Roads” may be grayed out. This is
normal. The generated route may not be the
route you would choose. For safety
reasons, the system
generally applies the
following rules to your route:
 It tries to avoid shortcuts through residential areas.
 Right turns are favored over left turns or U-turns.
 Restricted turns (turns that cannot be made during certain hours) are not
used for routing.

NOTE:
 The selected route method and pertinent details are shown at the top
of the screen.
 It may take several minutes (the system displays an hourglass while it
is calculating) to show all route
methods, and it is not unusual for the
different methods to pick the same
route. Voice commands cannot be
used while the system is calculating.  If the trip is greater than 100 miles,
then “Minimize Toll Roads” and
“Minimize Freeways” may be grayed
out. This is normal.
 Zoom IN/OUT to view route details is not available on this screen. After
you choose a “route method,” you
can then zoom in or out on the map
screen to view your route in details.
Say or select SUMMARY to display the
distance and time to go for each route.

of the desired routing method or push in
on the Interface Dial .
NOTE:
Distances and times shown for each
method in the Summary are

Distance and Time to
Destination
When you select a destination, the
distance to the destination is the actual
road distance of the calculated route,
and not “as the crow flies.” When
viewing a list of destinations (points of
interest), such as restaurants, the
distance is “as the crow flies” (see Sort
by Distance to Travel on page32).
The displayed time to the destination
may differ from the actual travel time
because the time is calculated based on
the posted road speed data and your
current speed. If part of your route
includes unverified roads, the “distance”
and “time to go” fo r that portion is
estimated using 25 mph as an average
speed.
Map Menu
When the map screen is displayed,
pressing in on the Interface Dial
displays the Map menu. If the map is
scrolled, the Map menu will not
appear. Move the Interface Dial left or
press the CANCEL button to return to
the basic map screen.

Voice Guidance Prompts
As you get near the maneuver, you will
hear a voice reminder and see a pop-up
window showing you the maneuver.
The number of reminders that you will
hear before a maneuver is determined
by Guidance Prompts in SETUP on
page78.
With the factory default (NORMAL),
typically you will hear two prompts:
 The first is about 1/4 mile from the maneuver.
 The final prompt is close to your actual turn.
If the distance between the next two
driving maneuvers is very small, both
maneuvers are displayed on the screen
in a single window, and the voice will
remind you of both of them at the same
time. NOTE:
 You can say “Voice” at any time, or
select Voice after pushing on the
Interface Dial to be reminded of the
next maneuver. For information on
the available voice commands, see
Voice Command Index on page138.
 Typically, a pop-up guidance window shows your next turn, and a voice
guidance prompt is heard. The timing
of these prompts varies, depending on
the type of road you are on, and the
distance to your next maneuver.
When given guidance in unverified
areas, the words “if possible” are
inserted before each guidance prompt.
See Unverified Area Routing on page87
for more details about unverified
routing.

 The map and voice guidance in unverified areas differ from those in

 Only maneuvers that occur at freeway exits or contain freeway exit
information will show the exit info
icon (“i” icon) on the right end of the
items in the direction list. If no exit
info icon is shown on the list, the
EXIT INFO is not displayed.

Map Orientation
The map can be orientated two ways:
 North-up: North pointing up as you
would normally view a paper map.
 Heading-up: The map constantly rotates so the road you are driving on
always points up (as you see the road
through your front windshield).
NOTE:
The red arrow in both heading symbols
always shows the direction north. Push in on the
Interface Dial on the
map or guidance screen and select
North-up or Heading-up to switch
between the available orientation, or say
“Display heading up” or “Display north
up.”
In the larger map scales (above 1 mile or
1.6 kilometer), the map is always
oriented with north facing upward. You
cannot change the orientation.
To view other areas on the map, move
the Interface Dial left, right, up, or
down. The map will shift in that
direction. To return the map to your
current location, press either the MAP/
GUIDE , the CANCEL , or the NAVI
BACK button on the steering wheel. The display automati
cally changes to
the map screen when you reach your
destination. Press the MENU button to
return to the MENU screen ( Enter
destination by ).
NOTE:
 For information on the available voice commands, see Voice
Command Index on page138.
 If you are en route and the Interface
Dial is moved, the “Time to

replaced with an indicator showing
distance from the current vehicle
location.

Viewing/Saving the Current
Location
Whenever you are on a map screen, you
can always obtain your current location
either by pushing in on the Interface
Dial , selecting Show Icon on Map ,
and selecting Current Location , or by
using the voice control system and
saying “Display current location.” A
screen pops up which shows the address
of your current location, as well as the
latitude, longitude, and elevation. NOTE:
The elevation will not appear when the
system is temporarily lacking proper
GPS information. The system elevation
may not agree with elevations shown on
roadside elevation signs, and may
fluctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more.
You can store the current location for
later use. It does not change or cancel
your current route.
For example, you
are following the
system’s directions to get to a
destination. While sitting at a stoplight
you notice a store on the corner, but do
not have time to visit it right now. You
can save the location to select as a
destination at a later date. To save the location, say “Save current
location” or select
Save on the Current
location screen. The Edit address
book screen with the current location
data will appear. You can edit the name,
phone number, or category name to be
saved in your personal Address Book.
After the location is saved, select
Return to return to the map screen.
You can then use Address Book from
the MENU screen ( Enter destination
by ) to select the saved location and
return to the same spot.
