In the screen shown, traffic, gas stations,
and restaurants are selected. Rotate the
Interface Dial knob and push in to
select (blue with box checked) or
remove them (black with box
unchecked). You can also display or
hide the same icons by using the
“Display” or “Hide” voice commands
on the map screen (see page 158).
ICON OPTION
This feature allows you to “fine tune”
some of the icons on the Icon bar.
If you move the Interface Dial down
and select ICON OPTION , the
following screen will be displayed: The four icon choices – Parking
,
Restaurant , Other Icons , and
Traffic – can each be tailored to your
needs.
For instance, let’s assume that hospital
icons are not displayed on the map, and
you want to make sure that your settings
are correct. You would do the
following:
• First, ensure that OTHER ICON on
the Icon Bar is selected.
• Second, select Other Icons from
ICON OPTION and verify that the
hospital option is on (blue with box
checked). This procedure is explained
below.
If you select Other Icons from the
Select category for icon settings
screen, the other icon options are
displayed: In the previous example, only
POST
OFFICE and SCHOOL are selected
and will show up on the map. To also
see HOSPITAL on the map, this would
need to be turned on by first selecting it
and then pushing in on the Interface
Dial to select it so it appears as below.

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. Select
North-up or Heading-up on
the Map information screen, or say
“Display heading up” or “Display north
up.”
In the larger map scales (above 2 mile),
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 157.

can always obtain your current location
either by pushing in on the Interface
Dial , selecting Current Location
from Map Information , or by using
the voice control sy stem and saying
“Display current location.” A screen
pops up which shows the address of

GPS information. The system elevation
may not agree with elevations shown on
roadside elevation signs, and may
fluctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more.
You can store the current location for
later use. It does not change or cancel
your current route.
For example, you are following the
system’s directions to get to a
destination. While sitting at a stoplight
you notice a store on the corner, but do
not have time to visit it right now.
You can save the location to select as a
destination at a later date.To save the location, say “Save current
location” or select Save on the
Current
location screen. The Edit address
screen with the current location data

saved in your personal Address Book.
Select Return and you will be returned
to the Map information screen.
You can then use Address Book from
the DEST screen (Dest. MENU 1) to

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.) Since 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.”
Various Other Icons
