While I drive, my screen s
hows white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
on it. What do they mean? These are called “breadcrumbs.”
If you drive more than 1/2 mile from
mapped roads, the off-road tracking feature begins to function. See Off-road
Tracking on pages 59 and 89.
How can I get rid of the whit e dots (“breadcrumbs”) from my
screen? Go to “Vehicle” in the
Setup screen (second), and set Off-road Tracking
to Off , then return to the map. See page89.
A road that I selected to avoi d is being used when routing.
What is wrong? When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads
that include at least one
intersection. See page86.
When I arrive at my destination, the bull’s-eye is shown at a
different location on the street. Why? The system calculates the bull’s-eye
location based on the street address
range allocated for that street. See Destination Icon on page55 for an
example.
My elevation (shown when I t ouch the vehicle position icon)
seems to fluctuate even though my elevation has not changed. This is normal and due to errors in sa
tellite position. The elevation can vary
+/- 100 feet. See System Limitations on page97.
My elevation is missing on th e “current position” screen.
Why? If the GPS antenna cannot receive at least four satellites, the elevation is not
displayed. Try moving the vehicle into
an open area. If the elevation is zero
or below sea level, the elev ation is also not displayed.

ProblemSolution
The display appears dim when starting the car in really cold
weather. Is there a problem? No. This is normal, and it will become brighter after a few minutes.
The screen does not close completely. Why is this? Ensure that it is not during inse rting/ejecting a CD. The screen cannot be
closed if a CD is not completely inserted in the unit.
Ensure that it is not during insert ing/ejecting the DVD. The screen cannot
be closed if the DVD is not completely inserted in the unit.
Ensure that a PC card is inserted co mpletely. The screen cannot be closed
if a PC card is not completely inserted in the unit. Moreover, the
recognition of a PC card takes about 1-2 seconds after it is inserted. The
screen cannot be closed during this recognition.
Ensure that the media clip is inserted into the PC card adaptor. Eject the PC card adaptor when not in use.
Where can I get PC card adaptors or the media chips that go
into them? Any computer store sell
s PCMCIA PC card adaptors, and various types
and capacities of media chips for them. Ask for Compact Flash or SD
media and adaptors.
Hard Disk Drive type media are not recommended because they can fail in
a hot car.
How do I put music files onto the PC Ca rd ?You can use your home PC to move MP3 or WMA music files to your PC
card. Most laptops have a slot to plug in your PC card. For desktop PCs,
USB adaptors are available that can accept your PC card or media chip.
Move files to the card like to any other hard drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
I insert a PC card with music files, but the CARD button or
navigation “PC Card” voice comm ands do not work. What’s
wrong? After inserting the card, a delay of
up to 30 seconds may be required to
read the tag information (album, artist , and track names) - this is normal.
Ensure that the music files on the media chip are either WMA or MP3 music format. Other formats are not recognized.
Some downloaded WMA and MP3 files are copy protected, and require
that the copyright authentication f iles accompany the MP3/WMA files on
the Card.
Media types and capacities continue to grow. As a rule, stick to Compact Flash or SD media with ca pacities of 2GB or less. Other types of media or
larger capacities may work, but have not been tested.
Single-type media PC Card adapto rs are recommended over multimedia-
type adaptors.
Ensure that there are files on the card . For SD and other media with a write
lock switch, ensure that the write protect is off when adding files to the
card.
The system only recogni zes FAT and FAT-32 file format for the media.
Some of the files on the PC card will not play, or I have an
eight GB card with 2500 s ongs, but only 999 play. Why is
this? The quantity of tracks is limited to
999 tracks and a file structure of up to
eight folder levels deep. Tracks beyond 999 are simply not recognized.
Ensure that the music files on the media chip are either WMA or MP3 music format. Other formats are not recognized.
When I eject the media chip but leave the empty adaptor in
the PC card slot, the display door will not close. Why is this? To prevent damage to the display mechanism or your PC card/media chip,
the system checks for a partially inserted PC card and a partially inserted
media chip. Always remove the PC ca
rd and media chip when not in use.
The media card will not fully in sert into the PC card slot.
What is wrong? The PC card edge connector or the pins
in the back of PC card slot may be
damaged.
Never force the card into the slot - the adaptor card should glide smoothly into the slot. See your dealer if the problem persists.

Troubleshooting
Screen Error Message Solution
Navigation system is unable to acquire a proper GPS signal.
Make sure there is nothing on the dashboard blocking the GPS antenna
(aftermarket metallic window tinting or aftermarket devices placed on the
dashboard, like radar detectors, cell p hones, or loose items). If the dashboard
is clear of objects, move the vehicle to an open space away from tall buildings,
trees, etc.
Navigation unit door is open or No DVD disc is inserted.
Please check system. Make sure that the navigation DVD disc
is inserted with the label side up
and the navigation unit door is fully snapped closed (see page103).
No DVD disc. Please check system. Check that the navigation DVD disc is in serted with the label side up (see
page103). If the problem persists, see your dealer.
DVD disc reading error (unfor matted). Please consult your
dealer. Check the DVD disc surface
for deep scratches or other damage. Make sure
you are using a navigation DVD (turquoise-colored [blue/green] label). The
system cannot read other mapping data bases or video DVDs. If the problem
persists, see your dealer.
Display temp is too high. Syst em will shut down until display
cools down. This message will appear briefly when
the display temperature is too high,
and then the display will turn off until the temperature cools down. The
system will turn back on when the display cools down.
Outside temperature is low. System will take awhile to start
up. The temperature is below -22°F and
the navigation system has difficulty
reading the DVD. The system will st art up when the temperature warms up.
Route has not been complete d. Please try again from a
different location. This message will appear when you are routing to or from a place (new
area) that is not in the database. Try
planning a different route to or from a
different location.*
