Driving to Your Destination
Destination Icon
The destination icon only shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block.) Since most cities
use only a portion of the 100 possible
addresses (for example, in the 1400
block, the addresses may only go up to
1425 before the 1500 block starts).
Therefore, the address 1425 will be
shown a quarter of the way down the
block by the system instead of near the
end of the block where the destination is
actually located.
Tip:
When on a route, you can view a map
showing your destination. Using voice
control, say “Display destination map.”
Landmark Icons
Landmark icons are shown in the map
screen on 1/20 and 1/8 mile scale, or 80
and 200 meter scale. The Freeway exit
information is displayed on the 1/4, 1/2,
and 1 mile scales. The icons are: Some icons can be turned on or off;
you can either display them or hide
them from the
ICON button on the
lower left corner (see page49) or using
voice commands (see page131).
You can select most landmark icons
with the joystick to display the icon’s
information. See the table on the
following page for exceptions.
NOTE:
 The same list can be viewed on the screen by selecting Map Legend
from the Information screen.
 When there are overlapping landmark icons, a list of the points of
interest (POIs) is displayed.
 For information on the available voice commands, see Voice
Command Index on page131.

Navigation System89
After you have traveled approximately
1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the
system will display a series of white
dots on the map screen to show the path
you have traveled. This is provided so
you can follow the dots to backtrack to
the mapped road you originally left.
Tracking continues until you reach a
mapped road. See Off-road Tracking on
page59.
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile, or the 80, 200, 400,
and 800 meter scales. Use the ZOOM
buttons to change the scales if
necessary.
NOTE:
To clear existing dots, turn this feature
off and exit Setup. To re-enable this
feature, return to Setup and turn it on
again.Correct Vehicle Position
The system relies on satellites for
positioning information. Buildings,
tunnels, and other objects can block or
reflect these signals, requiring the
system to use “dead reckoning” to
determine your location and direction.
This can sometimes lead to small errors
in positioning, such as showing you on
an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle
position is not recommended. When the
system acquires a GPS signal, it will
automatically place the vehicle in the
correct location.
If you choose to do this, follow these
steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Select Adjust, and the system will
display a map adjustment screen. 3. Use the
ZOOM buttons and the
joystick to move the location
arrowhead to the correct location.
Touch the arrow buttons on the
bottom of the screen to rotate the
direction arrows so the vehicle
position is pointing in the correct
direction.
NOTE:
If you continually have to do this, there
are either problems in the database or
GPS reception problems. see
Accessories Precautions on page5.
4. When you have finished, press the joystick or select Done to return to
the previous screen.
5. As you drive, the current road will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Clock Settings
From the Setup screen (second), say or
select Clock Settings and the
following screen appears:
Clock Adjustment
When you select Clock Adjustment ,
the following screen appears:
This screen allows you to set or adjust
the following:
 Auto Daylight Savings Time (Default = On)
 Auto Time Zone by GPS (Default = On)
 DST (Daylight Savings Time) Selection (Change DST schedule)
 Time Adjustment (Adjust your clock)
 Reset button (resets this screen’s
settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight Saving Time
Sets automatic daylight saving time On
or Off . If set to On, the navi clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
behind” by one hour when a daylight
savings time change occurs. If you
reside in a state or area where daylight
saving time is not used, then you may
want to turn this feature off.
NOTE:
If you set Auto Daylig ht Saving Time to
On , the Daylight Saving Time function
is activated even in an area that does
not adopt the Daylight Saving Time
system.
The federal government has mandated
that, starting in 2007, daylight savings
time will change in March & November
instead of the old schedule in April &
October. The new government daylight
savings time schedule is subject to
review and possible cancellation in
2008.

System Set-up
The dates that the navi switches between
standard and daylight savings time are
not triggered by GPS satellite signals.
They are stored in the navi software and
can be selected in the DST schedule
selection screen. Therefore your navi
clock will change based on the daylight
savings time schedule.Auto Time Zone by GPS
Sets automatic time zone selection by
GPS to On or Off . If you are driving
across the country and passing through
time zones, then this feature will
automatically set the time to the time
zone you are traveling through.
However, if you live and work in two
different time zones, you may want to
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
When driving near a time zone
boundary, the displayed time zone may
fluctuate between the two zone times.
Daylight Savings Time (DST)
Selection (Change DST schedule)
This option lets you select the schedule
( April-October , or March-
November ) when daylight savings
time will automatically occur in your
navi. The system default is the new
2007 “ March-November ” schedule as
mandated by the US government.
During 2008-2009, it is possible that
this new change will be canceled by the
government, and returned back to the
previous “April-October” schedule. If
so, simply change the schedule in this
setting back to the “April-October”
schedule.
