By Previous Destinations
Every time you route to a destination, that destination is saved by the system. Up to 50 destinations can be stored. Select Previous Destinations from the Enter destination by screen to choose one of those destinations.
After you select Previous Destinations , the display lists the last 50 destinations entered, with the most recent appearing first.
NOTE:
Previous Destinations is grayed out, there are no Previous Destinations entered. When finishing a “Today’s Destinations” trip, the Today’s Destinations list entries are stored to this list, beginning with the date (e.g., item 1 shown on the previous screen). Because both the Home address and personal Address Book list can be protected by a PIN, they do not show up in the previous destination list.
Scroll through the list and say the line number (1-6) of the destination, or touch the desired destination you want.
Once you select the desired destination, the system then displays the Calculate route to screen (see Driving to Your Destination on page 45).
NOTE:
Prior to departure, you can set areas to avoid. The system then includes them in its calculations for the destination you have entered. See Edit Avoid Area on page 87. For information on the available voice commands, see Voice Command Index on page 138.

A route typically has three phases.

Calculate Route to Screen

NOTE:
Prior to departure, you can set areas to avoid. The system then includes them in its calculations for the destination you have entered. See Edit Avoid Area on page 87. For information on the available voice commands, see Voice Command Index on page 138.

Driving to Your Destination
Changing the Routing Method
The system lets you select the way you want to drive to your destination. Before selecting OK to calculate a route, you can change the routing method by using the CHANGE METHOD scroll bar back ( ) or forward ( ) buttons. The route choices will appear in the address box.
NOTE:
When you are en route and want to change the routing method, press the MENU button, and select Change Routing Method on the Change route by screen.
• “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 shortcuts 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.

Viewing the Routes
Touching View Routes on the Calculate route to screen allows you to scroll through and view the various routes (Direct, Easy, Maximize Freeways, etc.) to your destination. If you select View Routes, the display changes to:
NOTE:
You may only view routes as shown above from the Calculate route to screen. The selected route method is shown at the top of the screen.
It may take several minutes (the system displays an hourglass while it is calculating) to show all route 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.
Say or select Summary to display the distance and time to go for each route. Based on the route data, you can change the routing by using the Next and Prev. buttons. Once you confirm your selection, say or select OK on the screen.
NOTE:
Distances and times shown 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. Touch VOICE to have the guidance repeated.

See Unverified Area Routing on page 83 for a detailed explanatio n of how to enable unverified routing, and the related cautions and disclaimers.

Navigation System49
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 page 75.
With the factory default (Max), typically you will hear two prompts:
• The first is about 1/4 mile from the maneuver.
• The final maneuver 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. 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 page 83 for more details about unverified routing.
