Driving to Your Destination
Changing the Route PreferenceThe system lets you select the way you
want to drive to your destination. Select
Route Pref. on the Calculate route to
screen by rotating the Interface Dial
knob .
• You can choose MAX or MIN for
four settings: Freeways, Toll
Roads , ETC Roads , and Ferries .
The route calculations for the current
selection will be displayed in the
upper right-hand corner of the screen.
NOTE:
If you select MIN or MAX of ETC
Roads as your route preference, the
system finds the route with as few
electronic toll collection (ETC) gates as
possible in MIN or as many ETC gates
as possible in MAX. The generated route may not be the
route you would choose. For safety
reasons, the system ge
nerally applies the
following rules to your route:
• Shortcuts through residential areas
are avoided.
• Right turns are favored over left turns or U-turns.
• Restricted turns (turns that cannot be made during or at certain times of the
day) are not used.
Viewing the RoutesIf you select View Routes on the
Calculate route to screen, you can
view three possible routes to your
destination. You can also use the
Interface Dial to verify the areas
peripheral to the map. If you select
View Routes , the display changes to: These different routes are shown and
calculated based on the setup options in
Route Pref.
.
You can select one of the three routes
(1-3) by rotating the Interface Dial
knob . The system will calculate the
selected route and display the map
screen.
NOTE:
• The driving distance and time estimated for the various routes is
displayed.
• It is not unusual for the different methods to pick the same route. Voice
commands cannot be used while the
system is calculating.
• Zoom IN/OUT to view route details
or traffic conditions is not available
on the View routes screen. After
moving the Interface Dial and
scrolling through th e map, you can
then zoom in or out on the map
screen to view your route in details.

Unverified Area Routing on page 98 for
a detailed explanation of how to enable
unverified routing, and the related
cautions and disclaimers.
NOTE:
• You can always view the entire route by simply saying, “Display entire
route.”
• When your route line uses streets that display traffic information, the route
line may consist of orange or red
segments. This is normal. See Traffic

Voice Guidance PromptsAs 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 guid ance prompts. See
Unverified Area Routing on page 98 for
more detailed information on the
unverified routing.

interest), such as restaurants, the
distance is “as the crow flies” (see Sort
by Distance to Travel on page 40).

Interface Dial knob and push in to
select (blue with box checked) or

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.
