message is displayed. Say “Recalculate” 
or touch the  Recalc. button on the

Unverified Area Routing
Allows you to receive turn-by-turn ma p and voice guidance in unverified areas  when en route to a destination (see Map Overview  
on page 6). 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 map 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.

Edit Avoid Area
This function allows you to select areas 
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 
“Edit Avoid Area,” the following list 
screen is displayed: You can select 
New Area or select (by 
touch) one of your existing areas to 
modify. If you choose  New Area, the 
following screen is displayed:
Say or select  Edit Name and use the 
keyboard to enter the name on the  Enter 
avoid area name  screen (19 characters 
max). Say or select  Done to return to 
the previous screen. Say or select  Edit 
Area  to create the area to be avoided. 
The following screen appears: Either select 
Address or Map Input  
on the  Enter avoid area by screen. 
Each choice provides a slightly different 
way to locate the approximate map 
display for drawing the area you wish to 
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 
joystick to move the crosshairs (red 
circle) to the desired start point and push 
in the joystick to “set” the start point. 
Then move the joystick in a straight or 
diagonal direction to encompass the 
area to be avoided.

NOTE:
The maximum size of the “Avoid area” 
is 1/4 of the navigation display screen 
regardless of the map scale setting.
The selected area will be displayed as a 
shaded box with a yellow border. Push 
in on the joystick to set the end point of 
the avoided area. To “redraw” the area, 
touch Cancel  and repeat the area 
selection process. If your selected area 
contains a freeway, the system will 
prompt you with a pop-up box saying 
“Do you want to avoid freeways?” Answering “No” allows you to enter a 
route through an avoided area on a 
freeway and skip the “Avoid area 
caution box.” See 
Pop-Ups and 
Disclaimers on page 64.
Say or select  Done to return to the  Edit 
area  screen. When you return, the 
“Vicinity” field is automatically filled in 
by the system. Re-edit the area “Name” 
if desired. Select  Done on the  Edit 
avoid area  screen to finish editing. 
Your new avoided area will now appear 
on the “Avoid area” list and be viewable 
on the  map screen. NOTE:
 You can select areas to avoid, 
however you cannot select roads or 
areas that you want the system to use 
for routing.
 If you are drawing a box around a  road as an area to avoid, then ensure 
the following: When you draw the 
box, make sure that the road or 
portion of a road that you encircled 
includes an intersection. For 
instance, in the example below, 
highway 213 will be avoided, but Van 
Ness will not be avoided because it 
lacks an intersection in the enclosed 
box.

Edit Waypoint Search Area
When driving en route to your 
destination, you can select a temporary 
destination waypoint (marked with a 
small flag on the map) along your route 
for gas, a restaurant, or other POI. When 
you resume your trip from the waypoint, 
the system continues the trip to your 
original destination. To use this feature, 
see  Waypoints on page 65.
This Setup item allows  you to select the 
distance from your highlighted route 
line (on either side of your route) that 
the system will search for a waypoint. 
From the  Routing & Guidance  screen, 
select  Edit for “Edit Waypoint Search 
Area,” and then choose the desired 
search distance for either “On 
Freeways” or “On Surface Street.” The diagram below shows how the 
system handles the search for “Places 
Along the Rout
e” or “Places Around the 
Destination” (see  Waypoints on 
page 65). For “Places Along the Route,” the 
system looks in front of you within a 
corridor width specified by your values 
for “On Freeways” or “On Surface 
Street.”
The system checks the upcoming area, 
based on your input.
For “Places Around the Destination,” 
the system searches outwards in a spiral 
from the destination. In this case, 
specific search values are not needed; 
the matches are displayed in order of 
distance from destination.
NOTE:
These settings do not affect the search 
range used for the voice commands like 
“Find nearest gas station” that are also 
available when viewing the 
map screen.
