Routing & Guidance
From the Setup screen (second), say or select Routing & Guidance and the following screen appears:
Rerouting
If Rerouting is set to Automatic and you deviate from the route, you will see “Recalculating ...” at the top of the screen for several seconds as the system calculates a new route. This is followed by new routing instructions.
If Rerouting is set to Manual, you will hear a tone when the “Off route” message is displayed. Say “Recalculate” or select Recalculation on the screen to make the system recalculate your new route.
NOTE:
If you live in an area with poor mapping, you may wish to set Rerouting to Manual to avoid constant recalculation. However, you will have to manually select Recalculation on the screen to have the system plot a new route. It is strongly recommended that you leave the system set to the factory default (Automatic).

Unverified Area Routing
Allows you to receive turn-by-turn map and voice guidance in unverified areas when en route to a destination (see Map Overview on page 6). The chart below illustrates the rou ting differences with this setting On or Off.
Unverified Area Routing: Off (factory default)Unverified Area Routing: On
Decision: Why choose On or Off?
The driver wishes to navi gate manually by using the navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to the destination. The driver understands that unverified roads may not be a ccurate, and can contain errors in location, naming, and address range.
The driver chooses to let the na vigation system suggest possible routing. The driver understands that in some cases, guidance may not be appropriate. Unverified ro ads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in location, naming, and address range.
What you will see… A blue dotted vector line is displayed on the map that continually points to your destination. The driver should stop and then use the ma p to select streets that lead to the destination.
A blue-pink dashed route line highlights suggested unverified streets on the map while traveling to your destination. This is in sharp contrast to the normal blue route line displayed in verified areas.
Cautionary messages There are cautionary pop-up screens and voice announcements, before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you should obey all traffic restrictions.
There are cautionary pop-up sc reens and voice announcements, before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you should exercise additional ca ution, and obey all traffic restrictions.
Guidance (map/voice) There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance. Voice gui dance commands end with the words “if possible.” This is to remind the driver to verify all traffic restrictions before making a maneuver.
Directions list A direction list is typically not available. However, depending on your route, dire ctions are provided to help you reach the first available verified road.
A direction list is provided s howing street names and turn symbols in pink.

Unverified Area Routing
When driving to your destination, you have the choice of using or not using “unverified” roads. You make this choice in Setup screen (second). The next few pages contain an example of a route to a destinatio n in an unverified area explaining the routing differences found in unverified areas.
With Unverified Area Routing Off, the system tries to use verified roads whenever possible. In this example, since only verified streets are used, it created a longer rout e than necessary.
With Unverified Area Routing On, the route is shorter, but consists of unverified (light co lored) streets that may not be accurate. Because the streets are unverified, there may be errors in street location, name, or address range. Additional caution is recommended in these areas. Always obey posted traffic restrictions.
Because both routes bypass or use unverified streets, an initial Disclaimer screen is provided. It is recommended that you stop and review the map.
Unverified Area Routing “Off”
Unverified Area Routing “On”
NOTE:
Unverified roads are shown only when viewing the map in the 1/20, 1/8, and 1/4 mile map scales, or the 80, 200, and 400 meter map scales.

Navigation System85
System Setup
With Unverified Area Routing Off, the moment you enter an unverified street, a caution box appears on the screen and is read by the voice. This lets you know that you are about to enter an unverified area and that you will be following a dotted “vector line” that points to your destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On, a caution box appear s on the screen and is read by the voice. In this case, you will be presented with a dashed blue/pink line instead of the regular blue route line. This is your signal to pay attention to posted traffic restrictions. You cannot assume that all guidance is appropriate.
In both cases, when you actually enter the unverified street, a short caution will remind you. You will see and hear this short caution message whenever you enter unverified areas.

System Setup
With Unverified Area Routing Off, you are presented with a blue “vector line” that always points to the destination. You must manually choose streets from the map that will lead to your destination. No guidance is provided, and there ar e no directions to the destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On, a blue/pink route line is shown for unverified segments. Voice guidance commands in unverified areas always end with “if possible.” This is your signal that you should use additional caution, and obey all traffic restrictions. The maneuver window “arrow” shows any portions of unverified turns in blue/pink dashes.
These guidance maneuvers are only a suggestion. You should always confirm that the maneuver is possible. A direction list is also provided that shows any unverified roads in a blue color, with pink arrows pointing to the next maneuver.
Unverified Area Routing “Off”
NOTE:
There is no VOICE button shown on the screen. With Unverified Area Routing “Off,” no Direction List is provided.

Edit Avoid Area
This function allows you to select areas you wish to avoid when calculating a route to your destination. You can select up to five areas to avoid. You may wish to set up an “avoid area” to route around long-term road construction, closures, or any area you wish to avoid. If you enter a route that takes you through or into an “avoid area,” a pop-up box will warn you that your route takes you into one of these areas. However, you can still choose destinations in an avoided area.
When you select Edit for the Setup item “Edit Avoid Area,” the following list screen is displayed:
You can select New Area or select (by touch) one of your existing areas to modify. If you choose New Area, the following screen is displayed:
Say or select Edit Name and use the keyboard to enter the name on the Enter avoid area name screen (19 characters max). Say or select Done to return to the previous screen. Say or select Edit Area to create the area to be avoided. The following screen appears:
Either select Address or Map Input on the Enter avoid area by screen. Each choice provides a slightly different way to locate the approximate map display for drawing the area you wish to avoid. After selecting the choice, a map screen will be displayed.
Use the ZOOM buttons to select the map scale (available scales are 1/20, 1/8, and 1/4 mile scales). Use the joystick to move the crosshairs (red circle) to the desired start point and push in the joystick to “set” the start point. Then move the joystick in a straight or diagonal direction to encompass the area to be avoided.

System Setup
NOTE:
The maximum size of the “Avoid area” is 1/4 of the navigation display screen regardless of the map scale setting.
The selected area will be displayed as a shaded box with a yellow border. Push in on the joystick to set the end point of the avoided area. To “redraw” the area, touch Cancel and repeat the area selection process. If your selected area contains a freeway, the system will prompt you with a pop-up box saying “Do you want to avoid freeways?”
Answering “No” allows you to enter a route through an avoided area on a freeway and skip the “Avoid area caution box.” See Pop-Ups and Disclaimers on page 62. Say or select Done to return to the Edit area screen. When you return, the “Vicinity” field is automatically filled in by the system. Re-edit the area “Name” if desired. Select Done on the Edit avoid area screen to finish editing. Your new avoided area will now appear on the “Avoid area” list screen and be viewable on the map screen.
NOTE:
You can select areas to avoid, however you cannot select roads or areas that you want the system to use for routing. If you are drawing a box around a road as an area to avoid, then ensure the following: When you draw the box, make sure that the road or portion of a road that you encircled includes an intersection. For instance, in the example below, highway 213 will be avoided, but Van Ness will not be avoided because it lacks an intersectio n in the enclosed box.

Edit Waypoint Search Area
When driving en route to your destination, you can select a temporary destination waypoint (marked with a small flag on the map) along your route for gas, a restaurant, or other POI. When you resume your trip from the waypoint, the system continues the trip to your original destination. To use this feature, see Waypoints on page 63.
This Setup item allows you to select the distance from your highlighted route line (on either side of your route) that the system will search for a waypoint. From the Routing & Guidance screen, select Edit for “Edit Waypoint Search Area,” and then choose the desired search distance for either “On Freeways” or “On Surface Street.”
The diagram below shows how the system handles the search for “Places Along the Rout e” or “Places Around the Destination” (see Waypoints on page 63).
For “Places Along the Route,” the system looks in front of you within a corridor width specified by your values for “On Freeways” or “On Surface Street.”The system checks the upcoming area, based on your input.
For “Places Around the Destination,” the system searches outwards in a spiral from the destination. In this case, specific search values are not needed; the matches are displayed in order of distance from destination.
NOTE:
These settings do not affect the search range used for the voice commands like “Find nearest gas station” that are also available when viewing the map screen.
