For instance, let’s assume that hospital
icons are not displayed on the map. You
would do the following:
• First, you would ensure that the
OTHER ICON button on the Icon
bar is blue (see Icon Bar on page 60).
• Second, you select Icon Options
and verify that hospital option is also
on (blue). This procedure is explained
below.
If you select Other Icons from the
Select category for icon settings
screen, the other icons options are
displayed: In the previous example, 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 to select it so it
appears as below.
Exit, and save your settings by selecting
Done . NOTE:
When viewing the
map screen, you
can turn some icons on using voice
control.
See Navigation Display Commands
on page 139 for the available
“Display” and “Hide” icon
command.

Going Off the Route
If you leave the calculated route,
“Recalculating...” is displayed at the top
of the screen. The system will
recalculate the route from your current
location and direction to the desired
destination, and then give you a new
route instruction. This is done
automatically if you have set
Rerouting to Automatic on the
Setup screen (second) (see page 86).
If the Rerouting option in Setup is set
to Manual , “Off route” appears at the
top of the screen when you leave the
calculated route. Sa y “Recalculate” or
select Recalc. whenever you wish the
system to perform a recalculation.
Off-road Tracking
If you drive more than half a mile from
a mapped road, “Not on a digitized
road” appears at the bottom of the
screen.
The map screen starts displaying a
series of dots (breadcrumbs) to show the
path you have taken if Off-road
Tracking on the Setup screen (second)
is set to On (see page 94). By following the dots, you can
backtrack to the mapped road you
originally left. “Breadcrumbs” may
occasionally be displayed in urban
areas, such as large parking lots in
shopping malls, or in new subdivisions
where the roads are not yet in the
database. In other cases, you may see
dots if the system temporarily goes off
route, like in a parking garage where the
GPS signal is unavailable.
These dots appear only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile (or the 80, 200, 400,
and 800 meter) map scales.
Use the ZOOM
buttons to change scales
if necessary.
Tracking continues for approximately
150 miles; dots at the beginning of the
trail will start disappearing when you
exceed that distance . When you reach a
mapped road, th e system stops
displaying dots.

Navigation System63
Viewing/Saving the Current
Location
Whenever you are on a map screen, you
can always obtain your current location
either by touching the Vehicle Position
icon or by using the voice control
system and saying “Display current
location.” A screen pops up which
shows the address of your current
location, as well as the latitude,
longitude, and elevation. NOTE:
The elevation will not appear when the
system is temporarily lacking proper
GPS information. The system elevation
may not agree with elevations shown on
roadside elevation signs, and may
fluctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more.
You can store the current location for
later use. It does not change or cancel
your current route.
For example, you are following the
system’s directions to get to a
destination. While sitting at a stoplight
you notice a store on the corner, but do
not have time to visit it right now. You
can save the location to select as a
destination at a later date.To save the location, say “Save current
location” or select
Save on the screen.
When you select “User 1” or “User 2,”
the Edit address book screen with the
current location data will appear. You
can edit the name, phone number, or
category name to be saved in your
personal Address Book.
After the location is saved, select
Return to return to the map screen.
You can then use Address Book from
the Enter destination by screen to
select the saved location and return to
the same spot.

Changing the Route
While en route, you may wish to alter
your route, add an interim “Waypoint”
(pit stop), choose a different destination,
or cancel your current destination.
To change your present route, you can
do any of the following:
Say “Menu,” or press the MENU button
to view the Change route by screen:
• Search waypoint (page 65)
• Delete waypoint (page 67)
• Avoid streets (page 67)
• Detour (page 67)
• Change routing method (page 67)
• Cancel the current route (page 68)
• Back to the current route (page 68)Choose a different destination (other
methods) by:
• Saying “Find nearest...” to find a POI
(page 68).
• Saying “Go home” (page 68).
• Using the joystick to select a different POI or address on the map (page 68).
•Pressing the MENU button twice to get to the Enter destination by
screen (page 70).
Change Route By Screen
Pressing the MENU button displays the
Change route by screen:
Waypoints
Waypoints allow you to add an interim
“pit stop” while traveling to a
destination. For inst ance, you may want
to stop for gas or food, and then
continue on to your destination.
Although you can enter up to five
waypoints at a time, typically you may
never use more than one at a time.
Waypoints are routed to in the order
they were entered (number 1 first, etc.),
with your final destination routed to last.
If you wish to create a custom route of
several destinations , and then control
the order of routing, the function
“Today’s Destinations” is probably a
better choice (see By Today’s
Destinations on page43).

When you enter waypoints, they appear
on the map screen as small red flags

Next, select your “Waypoint Category,”
then follow the menu prompts to select a
destination. When the system performs
a search from Places Along the
Route , it displays matches that lie
within a corridor on either side and in
front of you along your route. From
Places Around the
Destination, the system displays
matches in a spiral pattern outward from
the destination. The search “corridor”
distance value can be changed in Edit
Waypoint Search Area in Setup (see
page 93).
To add another waypoint, press the
MENU button and repeat the procedure.
If Search Places on Route is grayed
out, the maximum of five waypoints has
been entered.
NOTE:
The system does not allow you to select
the roads you want to use to get to a
destination. However, after you enter a
destination, you can select intersections
or POI waypoints that the system will
use to tailor your route.

recalculate a new route, avoiding the
next 2 miles (while on a freeway) or 1/2
mile (while on a surface street).
