Unverified Area Routing
Allows you to receive turn-by-turn map and voice guidance in unverified areas when on route to a destination (see  Map Overview 
on page 6). The c hart 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 th at 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 gu
idance 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 typicall y 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.

With Unverified Area Routing Off , 
the driver chose to take a shortcut, and 
avoid the long route. 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. You cannot assume that all 
guidance is appropriate. This is your 
signal to pay attention to posted traffic 
restrictions.
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. Unverified Area Routing “Off” Unverified Area Routing “On”

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 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”
