System Overview
Your navigation system is a highly
sophisticated location system with voice
control that uses satellites and a map
database to show you where you are and
to help guide you to a desired
destination.
The navigation system receives signals
from the global positioning system
(GPS), a network of 24 satellites in orbit
around the earth. By receiving signals
from several of these satellites, the
navigation system can determine the
latitude, longitude, and elevation of
your vehicle. In addition, a gyroscopic
yaw sensor and a vehicle speed sensor
in your vehicle keep track of the
direction and speed of travel at all times.

Getting Started
Each entered letter will appear at the top

enter a space between words. Say or
select Delete to erase a letter entered
incorrectly.
When entering an address, the system
searches the databa se for words that
match the letters you are entering. As a
result, you will notice that some letters
are no longer available.
When the system finds only one entry
that matches, it completes the entry of

more than one entry that matches your
input, the system displays a list.
Tip:
If you are unsure of the spelling of a
name, enter the letters that you are sure
of, and then select List. The system
displays a list of names that most closely
matches your input. You can choose to have your keyboard
displayed in alphabetized format as
shown below:
Or in a regular keyboard (QWERTY)
format as shown below:

By Address
After you select Address from the
Enter destination by screen, the
display changes to:
Tip:
• When entering an address by voice, it is more efficient to say the city name
first, then the street name.
• When entering an address by touch, it is usually easier to enter the street
first. A city or cities that the street
appears in will be displayed. For
your convenience, you do not have to
enter both city and street. NOTE:
• If you find that your city is not listed,
it may be part of a larger
metropolitan area. Try entering the
street first.
• Prior to departure, you can set areas to avoid. The system then includes
them in its calculations for the
destination you have entered. See
Edit Avoid Area on page 91.
Selecting the State or Province
The state you are in is displayed at the
top of the screen. If your desired
destination is in another state, select
Change State.
The display then changes to the Enter
state name screen. Use the voice
control system and say the name of the
state or use the on-screen keyboard to
enter the name of the state.
Selecting the City
This is helpful if the street runs through
several cities, and you know what city
includes the street. The city you are in is
displayed on the screen. If the city you
want is displayed on the screen, say
“Select current city.” If your desired
destination is in an other city, say or
enter that city.
By Voice Control:
Say “City” on the Find address by
screen, and the display changes to the
Say city name screen. Say the city
name and the searching will begin.
NOTE:
To improve voice recognition when
saying the city name, pronounce the
syllables as clearly as possible.

and the display will change to the Enter
city name screen. Say the city name by
saying individual letters, or words that

your spoken letter is not recognized, the
system will talk back to you. For
example, if you say “E” but the system
does not recognize th
e command, it will
ask you, “Please select the number of
the input letter from the list,” and the
following pop-up box will appear:
You should select a letter by saying the
number.
Alternatively, to improve voice
recognition, you can say “Echo” or
“Edward” instead of “E.”
See page 15 for a list of available words
for each letter.By Touch Control:
Select City, and the display then
changes to the Enter city name screen.
Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the

names, with the closest match to the
name you entered at the top of the list.
Select the number (1-6) of the desired
city from the list.
