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.

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 page 6). The chart below illustrates the routing 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 navigate manually by using the
navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to
the destination. The driver understands that unverified
roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range.The driver chooses to let the navigation system suggest possible
routing. The driver understands that in some cases, guidance may
not be appropriate. Unverified roads 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
messagesThere 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 screens and voice announcements,
before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you
should exercise additional caution, and obey all traffic
restrictions.
Guidance
(map/voice)There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance. Voice guidance commands end with the words “if possible.” This
is to remind the driver to verify all traffic restrictions before
making a maneuver.
Directions listA direction list is typically not available. However,
depending on your route, directions are provided to
help you reach the first available verified road.A direction list is provided showing street names and turn
symbols in pink.

Unverified Area RoutingWhen driving to your destination, you
have the choice of using or not using
“unverified” roads. You make this
choice in the Setup screen (second).
The next few pages contain an example
of a route to a destination 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 route 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.

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.

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 Route” 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.

Clock Adjustment
From the Setup screen (second), say or
select Clock Adjustment and the
following screen appears:
This screen allows you to set or adjust
the following:
• Auto Daylight Saving Time
(Default = On)
• Auto Time Zone by GPS
(Default = On)
• DST (Daylight Saving Time)
Selection

• Time Adjustment (adjust your clock)
•Reset button (resets this screen’s
settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight Saving Time
Sets automatic daylight saving time On
or Off. If set to On, the clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
back” by one hour when a daylight
saving time change occurs. If you reside
in a state or area where daylight saving
time is not used, then you may want to
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
If you set Auto Daylight Saving Time to
On, the daylight saving time function is
activated even in an area that does not
use daylight saving time.
The federal government mandated that
starting in 2007, daylight saving time
begins in March and ends in November
instead of the old schedule from April to
October.The schedules for the time changes are
stored in the software and can be
selected in the DST schedule
selection screen. Therefore, your clock
will change based on the daylight saving
time schedule.
NOTE:
The automatic clock setting feature
relies on a satellite signal. It will not
work correctly in Hawaii and Alaska.
