Driving to Your Destination
Changing the Routing Method
The system lets you select the way you
want to drive to your destination. Select
the desired method using the CHANGE
METHOD scroll bar back ( ) or
forward ( ) buttons.
The following methods are available to
change after you have set a destination:
While on a map screen, press the
MENU button. The Change route by
screen will be displayed. Say or select
Change Routing Method , and the
screen changes to:  “Direct Route” (the factory default) is
the route that is the quickest (least
time) and is usually the best choice. If
you choose any other method, it
becomes the new default for all future
routing. Make sure to check the
routing method if the displayed route
is not what you expected to see.
 “Easy Route” produces a route with the least turns.
 “Maximize Freeways”, “Minimize Freeways”, and “Minimize Toll
Roads” are also available.
NOTE:
If the trip is greater than 100 miles, then
“Minimize Freeways” and “Minimize
Toll Roads” may be grayed out. This is
normal. The generated route may not be the
route you would choose. For safety
reasons, the system
generally applies the
following rules to your route:
 It tries to avoid "short cuts" through residential areas.
 Right turns are favored over left turns or U-turns.
 Restricted turns (turns that cannot be made during certain hours), are not
used for routing during any time of
the day.

route. Voice commands cannot be
used while the system is calculating.
 If the trip is greater than 100 miles, then “Minimize Freeways” and
“Minimize Toll Roads” may be
grayed out. This is normal.

the route line changes to either a blue
dotted “vector line” pointing to your
destination, or a blue-pink line. See

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
page74.
With the factory default (Normal),
typically you will hear two prompts:
 The first is about 1/4 mile from the maneuver.
 The final prompt 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 page82
for more details about unverified
routing.
