Driving to Your Destination
Viewing the Destination Map
Touching View Dest. Map displays a
map of the destination vicinity. Press the
CANCEL or NAVI BACK button to
return. You can view the destination
map anytime while en route by saying,
“Display destination map.”
Map Screen
When you select OK on the Calculate
route to screen, the map screen
appears, showing your highlighted route
in real time.
Route Line
When driving to a destination on
verified roads in a metropolitan area, the
route line is displayed as a blue line.
When driving in rural areas on
unverified streets (light brown color),
the route line changes to either a blue
dotted “vector line” pointing to your
destination, or a blue-pink line. See
Unverified Area Routing on page87 for
a detailed explanatio n of how to enable
unverified routing, and the related
cautions and disclaimers.
NOTE:
You can always view the entire route by
simply saying, “Display entire route.” “Vector line” (unverified routing off)

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 79.
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 page87
for more details about unverified
routing.

Guidance Screen
The guidance screen offers an alternative
way to view your route information.
Many of the icons and screen features are
similar to those on the
map screen. While
driving to your destination, press the
MAP/GUIDE button to switch between
the map and guidance screens. The guidance screen shows you:
Milestone to Destination – The
position of the small circular icon shows
your trip progress. As you get closer to
your destination, the indicator will
approach “DEST.”
Vehicle Heading – The black portion of
the compass symbol indicates north.
NOTE:
The map and voice guidance in unverified areas differ from those in
verified areas.
Current maneuvers and those within 1000 feet will show on the
Countdown bar, indicating the
distance until the next maneuver.

Driving to Your Destination
Distance and Time to
Destination
When you select a destination, the
distance to the destination is the actual
road distance of the calculated route,
and not “as the crow flies.” When
viewing a list of destinations (points of
interest), such as restaurants, the
distance is “as the crow flies” (see Sort
by Distance to Travel on page37).
The displayed time to the destination
may differ from the actual travel time
because the time is calculated based on
the posted road speed data and your
current speed. If part of your route
includes unverified roads, the “distance”
and “time to go” for that portion is
estimated using 25 mph as an average
speed.
Direction List
If you select Directions on the map or
guidance screen, the display changes
to:
NOTE:
The map and voice guidance in unverified areas differ from those in
verified areas. See Unverified Area
Routing on page 87.
Only maneuvers that occur at freeway exits or contain freeway exit
information will show the exit info
icon ( ) on the right end of the items
in the Direction list. If no exit info
icon is shown on the list, the Exit
Info. is grayed out. You can see the Direction list and the
distance to each maneuver. Touch the
Return
button or press the CANCEL
button to return to the previous screen.
You can scroll through the Direction list
screen by screen using the scroll bar, or
one instruction at a time using the
joystick.

Exit Info. (Freeway Exit
Information)
You can search freeway exit
information and add new destinations or
waypoints to the calculated route as a
new destination or waypoint. The exit
info icon ( ) on the right end of the
items in the direction list indicates that
there is freeway exit information
available. Say or select Exit Info., and
choose the exit and place to set as a new
destination or waypoint.
On the map screen, you can display
freeway exit information using the
joystick. The exit info icon will only be
displayed on the map screen if there is
any freeway exit information available.
Choose the 1/4, 1/2, or 1 mile scale, then
move the crosshairs to the desired exit
info icon and click on it. Choose a place
from the list and set it as a new
destination or waypoint.
NOTE:
To turn on “Freeway exit information”
on the map screen, display the icon bar
and select the icon (see page 61).
Guidance Mode
When en route to a destination, you
have two display options: single-screen
mode (the factory default) and split-
screen mode.
Single-screen mode – A map is
displayed with occasional guidance
pop-up windows as you approach a
maneuver.
Split-screen mode – The map is always
displayed on the left of the screen, and
the maneuver or direction list is
displayed on the right-hand side of the
screen.
Guidance mode can be changed in either
Setup (see Guidance Mode on page 94),
or by accessing the icon bar
(see Guidance Mode on page 61) . When you get near the maneuver, the
map
screen changes to:
On the map screen, the location of the
maneuver is marked with a small yellow
square. The guidance window is simply
an enlargement of th e area indicated by
the yellow square. After you complete
the maneuver, the display returns to a
full map screen when the single-screen
mode is set, or to a map and direction
list screen when the split-screen mode is
set.

Map Scale
Use the ZOOM buttons or say a voice command such as “Display 1/2 m ile scale” (see page139) to change the scale of the map.
Zooming in increases the detail, while zooming out gives you a vi ew of a wider area. After changing the scale, give the system a
few moments to update the display.

58Navigation System
Map Orientation
The map can be orientated two ways:
• North-up: North pointing up as you would normally view a paper map.
• Heading-up: The map constantly rotates so the road you are driving on
always points up (as you see the road
through your front windshield).
NOTE:
The red arrow in both heading symbols
always shows the direction north. Touch the Map Orientation icon on the
map
screen to switch between the
available orientation, or say “Display
heading up” or “Display north up.”
In the larger map scales (above
1 mile or 1.6 kilometer), the map is
always oriented with north facing
upward. You cannot change the
orientation.
NOTE:
For information on the available voice
commands, see Voice Command Index
on page 138.
Destination Icon
The destination icon only shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block). Most cities use only
a portion of the 100 possible addresses
(for example, in the 1400 block, the
addresses may only go up to 1425
before the 1500 block starts). Therefore,
the address 1425 will be shown a
quarter of the way down the block by
the system instead of near the end of the
block where the destination is actually
located.
Tip:
When en route, you can view a map
showing your destination. Using voice
control, say “Display destination map.”
