Driving to Your Destination
For instance, let’s assume that your
hospital is not displa yed on the map, and
you want to make sure that your settings
are correct. You would do the
following:
 First, you would ensure that the “OTHER ICON” button on the Icon
bar is blue (see Icon Bar on page60).
 Second, you select ICON OPTIONS
and verify that the hospital option is
also on (blue). This procedure is
explained below.
If you select Other Icons from the
Select category for icon settings
screen, the other icon options are
displayed: In the example above, only
POST
OFFICE and SCHOOL are selected
and will show up on the map. To also
see HOSPITAL on the map, this would
need to be turned on by first selecting it
and then pushing in on the Interface
Dial to select it so it appears as below.
Exit, and save your settings by moving
the Interface Dial to the right
( DONE ). NOTE:
 When viewing the
map screen, you
can turn some icons on using voice
control.
 See Voice Command Index on
page139 for the available “Display”
and “Hide” icon command.

Going Off the Route
If you leave the calculated route,
“Recalculating...” is displayed at the top
of the screen. The system will
recalculate the route from your current
location and direction to the desired
destination, and then give you a new
route instruction. This is done
automatically if you have set
Rerouting to AUTOMATIC
on the SETUP screen (Other) (see page86).
If the Rerouting option in SETUP is
set to MANUAL , “Off route” appears at
the top of the screen when you leave the
calculated route. Sa y “Recalculate” or
select Recalculation whenever you
want the system to perform a
recalculation.
Off-road Tracking
If you drive more than half a mile from
a mapped road, “Not on a digitized
road” appears at the bottom of the
screen.
The map screen starts displaying a
series of dots (breadcrumbs) to show the
path you have taken if
Off-road
Tracking on the SETUP screen
(Other) is set to ON (see page96). By following the dots, you can backtrack
to the mapped road you originally left.
“Breadcrumbs” may occasionally be
displayed in urban areas, such as large
parking lots in shoppi
ng malls, or in new
subdivisions where th e roads are not yet
in the database. In other cases, you may
see dots if the system temporarily goes
off route, like in a parking garage where
the GPS signal is unavailable.
These dots appear only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile (or 80, 200, 400, and
800 meter) map scales. Rotate the
Interface Dial knob to change scales
if necessary.
Tracking continues for approximately
150 miles; dots at the beginning of the
trail will start disappearing when you
exceed that distance . When you reach a
mapped road, th e system stops
displaying dots.

Driving to Your Destination
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.

66Navigation System
Search Waypoint
Waypoints allow you to add an interim
“pit stop” while traveling to a
destination. For instance, you may want
to stop for gas or food, and then
continue on to your destination.
Although you can enter up to five
waypoints at a time, typically you may
never use more than one at a time.
Waypoints are routed to in the order
they were entered (number 1 first, etc.),
with your final destination routed to last.
If you wish to create a custom route of
several destinations, and then control
the order of routing, the function
“Today’s Destinations” is probably a
better choice (see By Today’s
Destinations on page43). When you enter waypoints, they appear
on the
map screen as small red flags
numbered 1-5.
Adding Waypoint
From the MENU screen ( Route), if you
say or select Search Waypoint , then
the Select a search method screen is
displayed. Select either Places Along
the Route or Places Around the
Destination .
Next, select your “Waypoint Category,”
then follow the menu prompts to select a
destination. When the system performs
a search from Places Along the
Route , it displays matches that lie
within a corridor on either side and in
front of you along your route.

Driving to Your Destination
From Places Around the
Destination , the system displays
matches in a spiral pattern outward from
the destination. The search “corridor”
distance value can be changed in Edit
Waypoint Search Area in SETUP
(see page93).
To add another waypoint, press the
MENU button and repeat the procedure.
If Search Waypoint is grayed out, the
maximum of five waypoints has been
entered.
NOTE:
The system does not allow you to select
the roads you want to use to get to a
destination. However, after you enter a
destination, you can select intersections
or POI waypoints that the system will
use to tailor your route.Delete Waypoint
From the MENU screen ( Route), if you
say “Delete” or select Delete
Waypoint , then the Select a waypoint
to delete screen is displayed. Say the
line number of the waypoint(s) you wish
to delete, or select them by using the
Interface Dial . Say or select DONE to
return to the map screen.
The route is recalculated to reflect the
changes you made to the waypoint(s).
Back to Route
Returns you to the original map screen.
Avoid Street
From the MENU screen ( Route), if you
say or select Avoid Street , the system
displays a list of streets that will get you
to your destination. This feature allows
you to avoid a street or streets along
your route. This is helpful if you know
of road construction, closures, or
excessive traffic along the route. Simply
select the street or streets you wish to
avoid. You cannot avoid your current
street, or the streets of your waypoint(s)
or destination (syste m beeps if selected).
NOTE:
Although you can ch oose streets to
avoid, you cannot choose specific
streets you want to use.
Detour
Calculates a detour route for you if you
encounter an unexp ected obstacle such
as a closed road or extremely heavy
traffic congestion. If a detour is
selected, the system will attempt to
recalculate a new route, avoiding the
next 2 miles (while on a freeway) or 1/2
mile (while on a surface street).
