Guidance Screen
The guidance  screen offers an 
alternative way to view your route 
information. Many of the icons and 
screen features are similar to those on 
the  map  screen. While driving to your 
destination, press the  MAP/GUIDE 
button to switch between the map  and 
guidance  screens. The  guidance 
screen shows you:
Milestone to Destination  - The position 
of the small circular icon shows your 
trip progress. As you get closer to your 
destination, the indicator will approach 
“DEST.”
Vehicle Heading  - The black portion of 
the compass symbol indicates north.
NOTE:
 The map and voice guidance in  unverified areas differ from those in 
verified areas.
 Current maneuvers and those within  1000 feet will show on the 
Countdown bar, indicating the 
distance until the next maneuver.

Distance and Time to 
Destination
When you select a destination, the 
distance to the destination is the actual 
road distance of the  calculated route, 
and not “as the crow flies.” When 
viewing a list of destinations (points of 
interest), such as restaurants, the 
distance is “as the crow flies” (see  Sort 
by Distance to Travel  on page32).
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. If part of your route 
includes unverified roads, the “distance” 
and “time to go” for that portion is 
estimated using 25 mph as an average 
speed.
Map Menu
When the  map screen is displayed, 
pressing in on the  Interface Dial 
displays the  Map menu. If the map is 
scrolled, the Map menu  will not 
appear. Move the  Interface Dial left or 
press the  CANCEL  button to return to 
the basic map  screen.
Voice -  Button shown if currently en 
route. Select to hear the next guidance 
maneuver (see page 53).
Directions - Button shown if currently 
en route. Select to see a list of directions 
to your destination (see page 53). North-up/Heading-up - Select 
Heading-up or North-up 
button to 
change map orientation. See  Map 
Orientation  on page57 for details. On 
scales greater than 1 mile, this button is 
grayed out (North-up only mode).
Show Icon on Map -  Allows you to 
select the icons displayed on the map 
(for a thorough description of this 
feature, see  Showing Icons on the Map  
on page 60).
By voice control, you can select the icon 
by saying the name of the icon (“gas 
station,” “ATM,” etc.). Say the icon 
name again to turn the icon off.

Voice 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 
page 77.
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” at any time, or 
select  Voice  after pushing on the 
Interface Dial  to be reminded of the 
next maneuver. For information on 
the available voice commands, see 
Voice Command Index  on page139.
 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 page86 
for more details about unverified 
routing.
Direction List
If you select  Directions from the Map 
menu , the display changes to:
NOTE:
 The map and voice guidance in  unverified areas differ from those in 
verified areas. See  Unverified Area 
Routing  on page 86.
 Only maneuvers that occur at  freeway exits or contain freeway exit 
information will show the exit info 
icon ( ) on the right end of the items 
in the direction list. If no exit info 
icon is shown on the list, the  EXIT 
INFO  is not displayed.

54Navigation System
You can see the direction list and the 
distance to each maneuver. Press the 
MAP/GUIDE button or the CANCEL 
button to return to the previous screen.
You can scroll through the  Direction 
list  screen by screen by moving the 
Interface Dial  up or down, or one 
instruction at a time by rotating the 
Interface Dial knob .EXIT INFO (Freeway Exit 
Information)
You can search freeway exit 
information and add new destinations or 
waypoints to the calculated route as a 
new destination or waypoint. The exit 
info icon ( ) on the right end of the 
items in the direction list indicates that 
there is freeway exit information 
available. Say or select  EXIT INFO, and 
choose the exit and place to set as a new 
destination or waypoint.  On the 
map screen, you can display 
freeway exit information using the 
Interface Dial . The exit info icon will 
only be displayed on the map  screen if 
there is any freeway exit information 
available. Choose the 1/4, 1/2, or 1 mile 
scale, then move the crosshairs to the 
desired exit info icon and push in on the 
Interface Dial . Choose a place from 
the list and set it as a new destination or 
waypoint.
NOTE:
To turn on “Freeway exit information” 
on the map  screen, display the icon bar 
and select the   icon (see page 60).

Guidance Mode
When en route to a destination, you 
have two display options: single-screen 
mode (the factory default) and the split-
screen mode.
Single-screen mode - A map is 
displayed with occasional guidance 
pop-up windows as you approach a 
maneuver.
Split-screen mode  - The map is always 
displayed on the left of the screen, and 
the maneuver or direction list is 
displayed on the right-hand side of the 
screen.
Guidance mode can be changed in either 
SETUP (see  Guidance Mode  on 
page 93), or by accessing the icon bar 
(see CHANGE GUIDANCE MODE  on 
page 60). When you get near the maneuver, the 
map
 screen changes to:
On the map  screen, the location of the 
maneuver is marked with a small yellow 
square. The guidance window is simply 
an enlargement of the area indicated by 
the yellow square. After you complete 
the maneuver, the display returns to a 
full  map  screen when the single-screen 
mode is set, or to a map and direction 
list screen when the split-screen mode is 
set.

Map Scale
Rotate the Interface Dial knob  or say a voice command such as “Display 1/2 m ile scale” (see page140) to change the scale of 
the map. Zooming in increases the detail, while zooming out gives you a view of a wider area. After changing the scale, give th e 
system a few moments to  update the display.

NOTE:
 You can change between miles  or kilometers in SETUP (see Units on page 84).

Driving to Your Destination
Map Orientation
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. Push in on the 
Interface Dial  on the 
map  or guidance  screen and select 
North-up  or Heading-up  to switch 
between the available orientation, or say 
“Display heading up” or “Display north 
up.”
In the larger map scales (above 1 mile or 
1.6 kilometer), 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 139.
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). 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.”
