Unverified Area Routing
Allows you to receive turn-by-turn map and voice guidance in unverified areas when en route to a destination (see Map Overview
on page6). The chart below illustrates the rou ting differences with this setting On or Off.
Unverified Area Routing: Off (factory default) Unverified Area Routing: On
Decision:
Why choose
On or Off? The driver wishes to navi
gate manually by using the
navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to
the destination. The driver understands that unverified
roads may not be a ccurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range. The driver chooses to let the na
vigation system suggest possible
routing. The driver understands that in some cases, guidance may
not be appropriate. Unverified ro ads may not be accurate, and can
contain errors in location, naming, and address range.
What you will
see… A blue dotted vector line is displayed on the map that
continually points to your
destination. The driver
should stop and then use the ma p to select streets that
lead to the destination. A blue-pink dashed route line
highlights suggested unverified
streets on the map while traveling to your destination. This is in
sharp contrast to the normal blue route line displayed in verified
areas.
Cautionary
messages There are cautionary pop-up screens and voice
announcements, before and
during the route. These
serve as reminders that you should obey all traffic
restrictions. There are cautionary pop-up sc
reens and voice announcements,
before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you
should exercise additional ca ution, and obey all traffic
restrictions.
Guidance
(map/voice) There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance. Voice gui
dance commands end with the words “if possible.” This
is to remind the driver to verify all traffic restrictions before
making a maneuver.
Directions list A direction list is typicall y not available. However,
depending on your route, dire ctions are provided to
help you reach the first available verified road. A direction list is provided showing street names and turn
symbols in pink.

System Setup
Unverified Area Routing
When driving to your destination, you
have the choice of using or not using
“unverified” roads. You make this
choice in Setup screen (second). The
next few pages contain an example of a
route to a destinatio n in an unverified
area explaining the routing differences
found in unverified areas.
With Unverified Area Routing Off ,
the system tries to use verified roads
whenever possible. In this example,
since only verified streets are used, it
created a longer rout e than necessary.
With Unverified Area Routing On ,
the route is shorter, but consists of
unverified (light colored) streets that
may not be accurate. Because the streets
are unverified, there may be errors in
street location, name, or address range.
Additional caution is recommended in
these areas. Always obey posted traffic
restrictions. Because both routes bypass or use
unverified streets, an initial
Disclaimer
screen is provided. It is recommended
that you stop and review the map.
Unverified Area Routing “Off” Unverified Area Routing “On”
NOTE:
Unverified roads are
shown only when
viewing the map in the 1/20, 1/8, and
1/4 mile map scales, or the 80, 200,
and 400 meter map scales.

System Setup
With Unverified Area Routing Off ,
the moment you enter an unverified
street, a caution box appears on the
screen and is read by the voice. This lets
you know that you are about to enter an
unverified area and that you will be
following a dotted “vector line” that
points to your destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On ,
a caution box appear s on the screen and
is read by the voice. In this case, you
will be presented with a dashed blue/
pink line instead of the regular blue
route line. This is your signal to pay
attention to posted traffic restrictions.
You cannot assume that all guidance is
appropriate.
In both cases, when you actually enter
the unverified street, a short caution will
remind you. You will see and hear this
short caution message whenever you
enter unverified areas. Unverified Area Routing “Off” Unverified Area Routing “On”

you are presented with a blue “vector
line” that always points to the

streets from the map that will lead to
your destination. No guidance is
provided, and there are no directions to
the destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On ,
a blue/pink route line is shown for
unverified segments. Voice guidance
commands in unverified areas always
end with “if possible.” This is your
signal that you should use additional
caution, and obey all traffic restrictions.
The maneuver window “arrow” shows
any portions of unverified turns in blue/
pink dashes.
These guidance maneuvers are only a
suggestion. You should always confirm
that the maneuver is possible. A
direction list is also provided that shows
any unverified roads in a blue color,
with pink arrows pointing to the next
maneuver. Unverified Area Routing “Off”

you wish to avoid when calculating a
route to your destination. You can select
up to five areas to avoid. You may wish
to set up an “avoid area” to route around
long-term road construction, closures,
or any area you wish to avoid. If you
enter a route that takes you through or
into an “avoid area,” a pop-up box will
warn you that your route takes you into
one of these areas. However, you can
still choose destinations in an avoided
area.
When you select Edit for the Setup item

avoid. After selecting the choice, a map
screen will be displayed.
Use the ZOOM buttons to select the
map scale (available scales are 1/20,
1/8, and 1/4 mile scales). Use the
