System Setup
After selecting the choice, a map screen
will be displayed.
Rotate the Interface Dial knob to
select the map scale. Use the Interface
Dial to move the crosshairs (red circle)
to the desired start point and push in on
the Interface Dial to “set” the start
point. Then move the Interface Dial in
a straight or diagonal direction to
encompass the area to be avoided. NOTE:
The maximum size of the “Avoid area”
is 1/2 mile in length or width.
The selected area will be displayed as a
shaded box with a yellow border. Push
in on the
Interface Dial to set the end
point of the avoided area. To “redraw”
the area, select CANCEL and repeat the
area selection process. Say or select OK
to return to the Edit
avoid area screen.
If your selected area contains a freeway,
the system will prompt you with a pop-
up box saying “Do you want to avoid
freeways?” Answering “No” allows you
to enter a route thro ugh an avoided area
on a freeway and skip the “Avoid area
caution box” (see Pop-ups and
Disclaimers on page72).
When you return to the Edit avoid area
screen, the “Area” field is automatically
filled in by the system. Re-edit the area
“Name” if desired. Select OK on the
Edit avoid area screen to finish editing.
Your new avoided ar ea will now appear
on the “Avoid area” list and be viewable
on the map screen.
NOTE:
You can select areas to avoid, however
you cannot select roads or areas that
you want the system to use for routing.

System Setup
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.

Database Limitations
You will find that some points of
interest (POI) may be missing when you
search the database. This can be caused
if at the time the database was gathered,
the name was misspelled, the place was
improperly categorized, or the POI
change is not yet in the database. This
means you may not find places listed
that you know exist. This is also true for
police agencies and hospitals. In
outlying areas, facilities listed may not
be the closest. Always check with local
information sources if you need law
enforcement or hospital services.
Every effort has been made to verify
that the system’s database was accurate
at the time it was created. However,
businesses do close or relocate, and new
businesses start in the old locations.
For this reason, you may occasionally
find inaccurate info rmation when you
select and drive to a point of interest (for
example, a restaurant is now a jewelry
store). The number of these inaccuracies
increases the longer you go without an
update. The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various
points in time before production.
Accordingly, your database may contain
inaccurate or incomplete data or
information due to the passage of time,
road construction, changing conditions,
or other causes.
Due to ongoing software and database
improvements, navigation software and
mapping versions may change in the
middle of a production year. The
version shipped with your vehicle was
the most recent available at the time of
production and is considered standard
equipment for that vehicle. There is no
free program to retrofit early production
vehicles with the latest software and
mapping versions. For update DVD
ordering information, see page
127.In addition, this database does not
include, analyze, proc
ess, consider, or
reflect any of the following categories
of information:
• Neighborhood quality or safety
• Population density
• Availability or proximity of law enforcement
• Emergency, rescue, medical, or other assistance
• Construction work, zones, or hazards
• Road and lane closures
• Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, load, height, and speed
restrictions)
• Road slope or grade
• Bridge height, width, weight, or other limits

Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
ProblemSolution
The navigation system does not route me the same way I
would go, or the way some ot her mapping program displays.
Why is this? The navigation system attempts to
generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Route Preference on page53.
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year. The mapping database is
constantly undergoing revision. See page128 for
ways to obtain the latest de tailed coverage information.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road and the
“GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is
white or missing. • The GPS antenna (located in the
dashboard) may be blocked by personal
items. For best reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar
detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or othe r aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on
page 123.
I entered a destination, but th e blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my dest ination. Why is this? Your route has entered
an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 101.
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this? Select the North-up map orientati on by voice, or by selecting North-up
from the Map menu . See Map Orientation on page 63.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orienta tions. Why is this? The Heading-up map orientat
ion can only be shown in the lower scales
Map Scale on page66.
While driving to my destinati on, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer. The “Time to go” is based on actual
road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based on your actual spee d to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short distance
behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong? No. When at an intersection, the syst
em is unaware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page123.
