Coverage Areas
Operation in Alaska and
Hawaii
Certain functions that rely on a satellite
signal will not work in Alaska and
Hawaii. These functions include but are
not limited to XM radio, automatic
clock updates, and time zone
adjustments.
Alaska
If the vehicle was purchased in the
lower 48 states and driven to Alaska, the
system cannot display maps. The
message “Vehicle is out of the
database...” will be displayed.
Hawaii
This section describes the differences in
navigation system operation for vehicles
delivered in Hawaii.
Map Coverage
All roads displayed on the Hawaii map
screens are detailed coverage roads.
Text related to “unverified” roads or
areas are not applicable. The following
topics do not apply in Hawaii:
 Unverified road descriptions (see page
6 and 82 ).
 Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page
61).
 Setup entries that relate to turning on
or off unverified routing (see
page
83 ).
 When zooming in and out, there is no 350-mile scale for Hawaii.
Other Map Issues
 See the coverage section for a list of islands with coverage (see page
106).
 Freeway Exit information does not exist in Hawaii, so the “Freeway Exit
Info” icon is not shown on the icon
bar.
Address and POI Entry Screens
When in Hawaii, the following
differences occur for map, address, and
POI selection:
 It is not possible to enter U.S. mainland addresses or scroll the map
east to the U.S. mainland.
 Selection of the “State” is confined to the state of Hawaii only.
 Entry of a destination address or POI on an island other than your current
island may result in a screen caution
message. This is normal because
there are no “ferry” routes between
islands available in the database.
 If the “Guidance Prompts” setting on the Setup screen is set to normal or
maximum, street names will not be
spoken in voice guidance commands.

Navigation System123
Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
Problem Solution
The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or
the way some other mapping program displays. Why is this? The navigation system attempts to
generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Routing Method on page45.
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year. The mapping database is
constantly undergoing revision. See page102 for
ways to obtain the latest de tailed coverage information.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road, and the
“GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is
white or missing.  The GPS antenna (located under the center of the dashboard) may be
blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the
dashboard, such as radar detector s, cell phones, or loose articles.
 Metallic tinting or other aftermarke t devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on page97.
I entered a destination, but th e blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my dest ination. Why is this? Your route has entered
an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page82.
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this? Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by touching the map
orientation icon on the map screen. See Map Orientation on page54.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orienta tions. Why is this? The Heading-up map orient
ation can only be shown in the lower scales
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page53.
While driving to my destinati on, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer. The “Time to go” is based on actual
road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based on your actual spee d to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short distance
behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong? No. When at an intersection, the syst
em is unaware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page97.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ordering a Navigation DVD, Coverage, Map Errors, Limitations
Problem Solution
I want to buy a new DVD. How do I purchase one? You cannot obtain a new DVD from the dealer. See Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD on page102.
I want to order a DVD. How ca n I determine the DVD version
in my navigation system? The version is on the label of your DVD. It starts with “Ver:.” See
Changing
the DVD on page103.
I got a navigation DVD from a friend or an online source, but
it does not work. Why? Your vehicle was designed to use a tu
rquoise DVD. DVDs with differently
colored labels or from different manuf acturers will not operate correctly.
Always obtain DVDs from the DVD order desk. See page102.
When is my city going to become part of a fully verified
detailed coverage area? The mapping database vendor is constantly revising map coverage. See
page102 for ways to obtain the latest
detailed coverage information.
Will the navigation system work outside North America? The navi gation system contains maps only for the lower 48 U.S. states,
Hawaii, and portions of s outhern Canada. The syst em will not work in
Mexico, Alaska, or ove rseas. Canada coverage is limited. See Map
Coverage on page106.
I moved my vehicle from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii (or
from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland). Why does my navigation
system not show the correct map? The coverage area (Hawai
i or U.S. mainland) must be selected by your
dealer.
Can I play video DVDs in my navigation system?No. The navigation system is designed only to read the turquoise DVD
provided with your vehicle. Map discs for other vehicle manufacturers or
PC map programs will not work.
I found some errors in the database. How do I report them? Mi nor errors are bound to occur in a large database. If you encounter major
errors, you can report them following the instructions on page101.

Glossary
Glossary
The following is a glossary of terms
pertaining to the voice recognition
navigation system.
Avoid Area - Areas you wish to avoid
can be entered into the system, and
will be avoided while routing.
Breadcrumbs - Off-road tracking dots
that can be followe d on the map to
retrace your route back to a mapped
(digitized) road. This function can be
turned on/off in Setup screen
(second).
Compact Flash - A media chip that can
be used with a PC card adaptor to
play audio music files.
Database - This consists of the map
data, and the POI (Points of Interest)
data stored on the DVD.
DCA - Detailed Coverage Area. The
main metropolitan areas in the lower
48 U.S. states, Hawaii, and southern
Canada are mapped to this level. See
page106 for a list of these areas. Digital Audio Card Reader -
The PC
card slot accepts a PCMCIA adaptor
with a flash memory chip (see
page104).
Digitized Road - A road that appears on
the navigation screen. The road name
will appear at the bottom of the
navigation screen. If the user drives
“off road,” the navigation system will
display “breadcrumbs,” depending on
how far you drive from a mapped
road.
Disclaimer Screen - Screen containing
cautionary information. It is meant to
be read carefully and acknowledged
by the customer when using the
navigation system.
DVD or DVD-ROM - Digital Versatile
Disc. The navigation program and
database resides on this disc. For
information on how to order a
replacement or update DVD, see
page102.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions. See
page121 for a list of customer FAQs
and troubleshootin g information. GPS -
Global Positioning System. A
network of 24 satellites in orbit
around the earth. The navigation
system can simultaneously receive
signals from up to 12 satellites to
accurately position the vehicle on the
map.
GPS Antenna - Located under the
dashboard. Electronic items operating
in this general location can interfere
with the GPS signal.
Icon - Symbol representing Points of
Interest (POI) that can be displayed
on the map.
Initialization - This refers to the period
needed to reacquire the GPS satellite
orbital information whenever the
navigation system power has been
disconnected. This can take 10 to 45
minutes with the vehicle out in an
open area.
LCD - Liquid Crystal Display. The
navigation screen.
