the destination.
With  Unverified Area Routing On , 
a blue/pink route line is shown for 
unverified segmen ts. 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 
directions 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”

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:

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.

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.

Vehicle
From the  Setup screen (second), say or 
select  Vehicle  and the following screen 
appears:
Off-road Tracking
With this  On, the system will provide 
white off-road tracking dots 
(“breadcrumbs”) on the  map screen 
whenever you drive into an area where 
the map does not show any roads.
See  Map Screen Legend  on page
20. After you have traveled approximately 
1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the 
system will display a series of white 
dots on the 
map screen to show the path 
you have traveled. This is provided so 
you can follow the dots to backtrack to 
the mapped road you originally left. 
Tracking continues until you reach a 
mapped road. See  Off-road Tracking on 
page 62 .
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8, 
1/4, and 1/2 mile, or the 80, 200, 400, 
and 800 meter scales. Use the  ZOOM 
buttons to change  the scales if 
necessary.

off and exit Setup. To re-enable this 
feature, return to Setup and turn it on 
again.

Correct Vehicle Position
The system relies on satellites for 
positioning information. Buildings, 
tunnels, and other objects can block or 
reflect these signals, requiring the 
system to use “dead reckoning” to 
determine your location and direction.
This can sometimes lead to small errors 
in positioning, such as showing you on 
an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle 
position is not recommended. When the 
system acquires a GPS signal, it will 
automatically place the vehicle in the 
correct location. If you choose to do this, follow these 
steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Select 
Adjust, and the system will 
display a map adjustment screen.
3. Use the  ZOOM buttons and the 
joystick to move the location 
arrowhead to the correct location. 
Touch the arrow buttons on the 
bottom of the screen to rotate the 
direction arrows so the vehicle 
position is pointin g in the correct 
direction. NOTE:
If you continually have to do this, there 
are either problems in the database or 
GPS reception problems. See 
Accessories Precautions
 on page
5 .
4. When you have finished, press the  joystick or select  Done to return to 
the previous screen.
5. As you drive, the current road will be  displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Clock Adjustment
From the Setup screen (second), say or 
select  Clock Adjustment  and the 
following screen appears:
This screen allows you to set or adjust 
the following:
 Auto Daylight Savings Time  (Default = On)
 Auto Time Zone by GPS  (Default = On)
 DST (Daylight Savings Time)  Selection 
(Change DST schedule)
 Time Adjustment (Adjust your clock)
 Reset  button (resets this screen’s 
settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight Saving Time
Sets automatic daylight saving time  On 
or  Off . If set to On, the navi clock will 
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall 
behind” by one hour when a daylight 
savings time change occurs. If you 
reside in a state or area where daylight 
saving time is not used, then you may 
want to turn this feature off.
NOTE:
If you set Auto Daylight Saving Time to On, the Daylight Saving Time function 
is activated even in an  area that does not 
adopt the Daylight Saving Time system.
The federal government has mandated 
that, starting in 2007, daylight savings 
time will change in  March & November 
instead of the old schedule in April & 
October. The new government daylight 
savings time schedule is subject to 
review and possible cancellation in 
2008. The dates that the navi switches between 
standard and daylight savings time are 
not triggered by GPS satellite signals. 
They are stored in the navi software and 
can be selected in the 
DST schedule 
selection screen. Therefore your navi 
clock will change based on the daylight 
savings time schedule.
