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.

 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.

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.
