Navigation System45
Driving to Your Destination
Changing the Routing Method
The system lets you select the way you
want to drive to your destination. Select
the desired method using the CHANGE
METHOD scroll bar back ( ) or
forward ( ) buttons.  “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 “short cuts” 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 during any time of
the day.

 The selected route method and
pertinent details are shown at the top

 It may take several minutes (the system displays an hour glass while it

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 Freeways” and
“Minimize Toll Roads” 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

screen to view your route in details. Say or select Summary
to display the
distance and time to go for each route.
Based on the summary data, you can
change the routing by using the Next
and Prev . buttons.
Once you confirm your selection, say
“OK” or select OK on the screen.
NOTE:
Distances and times show for each
method in the Summary are
approximate.
After calculating the route with the new
method, the system displays a map of
your current locatio n. The calculated
route will be highlighted as a blue line,
and a voice prompt will tell you how to
proceed along the highlighted route.

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
page73.
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” or select
VOICE on the screen at any time to
be reminded of the next maneuver.
For information on the available
voice commands, see Voice
Command Index on page131.
 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 page81
for more details about unverified
routing.
