Unverified Area Routing
Allows you to receive turn-by-turn ma p and voice guidance in unverified areas when en route to a destination (see Map Overview
on page 6). The chart below illustrates the routing 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 navigate manually by using the
navigation map and choosing th e streets that lead to the
destination. The driver un derstands that unverified
roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range. The driver chooses to let th
e navigation system suggest
possible routing. The driver understands that in some
cases, guidance may not be appropriate. Unverified
roads 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 map 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
messagesThere 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 screens and voice
announcements, before and during the route. These
serve as reminders that you should exercise additional
caution, and obey all traffic restrictions.
Guidance
(map/voice)There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance. Voice guidance co mmands end with the phrase “if
possible.” This is to remind the driver to verify all
traffic restrictions before getting near the guidance
point.
Directions listA direction list is typically not available. However,
depending on your route, directions are provided to
help you reach the first available verified road. A direction list is provided showing 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 the SETUP screen. The next
few pages contain an example of a route
to a destination 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 (purple) 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, it is recommended
that you stop and review the map.
Unverified Area Routing “OFF”

Routing “ON”
NOTE:
Unverified roads are shown only when
viewing the map in the 1/20, 1/8, 1/4
mile map scales.

System Setup
With Unverified Area Routing OFF ,
before you enter an unverified street, a
caution box appears on the screen and a
voice message is given. 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.
If you regularly enter and leave
unverified roads for short amounts of
time, there may be cases where no
guidance is provided. Unverified Area Routing “OFF” Unverified Area Routing “ON”

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 are 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 guidance window “arrow” shows
any portions of unverified turns in blue/
pink dashes.
These guidances are only a suggestion.
You should always confirm that the
guidance is possible.
A directions list is also provided that
shows any unverified roads in a blue
color, with pink arrows pointing to the
next guidance point. Unverified Area Routing “OFF”
NOTE:
For the pop-up menu displayed when
pushing in on the
Interface Dial from
the map screen, Voice is grayed out.

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 Avoid Area, the
following list screen is displayed. You can select
New Area, or select 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
Interface Dial to enter the name on the
Enter avoid area name screen (25
characters max). Say or select OK 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.

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 des tination. To use this
feature, see Waypoint on page75.
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 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
“SEARCH ALONG” or “SEARCH
AROUND the Destination” (see
Waypoint
on page75). For “SEARCH ALONG,” 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 “SEARCH AROUND,” 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.

Vehicle
From the SETUP screen ( Other), 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 71.
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile scales. Rotate the
Interface Dial knob to change the
scale if necessary.
NOTE:
To clear existing dots, turn this feature
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 inform ation. Buildings,
tunnels, and other objects can block or
reflect these signals, requiring the
system to use “dea d 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:
