Voice Guidance Prompts
As you get near the guidance point, you
will hear a voice reminder and see a
pop-up window showing you the
guidance point. You will typically hear
three prompts:
• The first is about 1/2 mile from the
guidance point.
• The next is about 1/4 mile from the guidance point.
• The final prompt is close to your actual turn.
If the distance between the next two
guidance points is very small, both of
them are displayed on the screen in a
single window, and the voice will
remind you of them at the same time. NOTE:
You can say “Voice” at any time, or
select Voice after pushing in on the
Interface Dial to be reminded of the
next guidance point.
Typically, a pop-up guidance window shows your next turn, and a voice
guidance is heard. The timing of
guidance varies depending on the
type of road you are on and the
distance to the next guidance point.
When the guidance in unverified areas,
the phrase “if possible” is inserted
before each guidance prompts. See
Unverified Area Routing on page 101
for more detailed information on the
unverified routing.

Distance and Time to
Destination
When you select a destination, the
distance to the destination is the actual
road distance of the calculated route,

interest), such as restaurants, the
distance is “as the crow flies” (see Sort
by Distance to Travel on page41).
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.
NOTE:

Destination” and “Distance to
Destination” indications are replaced
with an indicator showing distance from
