Navigation system LINCOLN BLACKWOOD 2002 Navigation Manual

Facilities outside the mapped area
With some map CDs, it is possible that the roads leading to a point of
interest you previously selected are not or only partly mapped on the
map CD.
²As long as the roads are mapped, the navigation system will guide you
in the direction of your destination. As soon as you leave the mapped
area, the system will show you a map with the area around your
current position as well as the directional arrow and the distance to
the destination.
Destination input by map
If the road name or a special
location within the city you want to
travel to is not known, or if you
want to specify the destination more
precisely, you can enter the
destination using the map.
Destination input by map is not
possible when the vehicle is moving.
²CHOOSE ªDestination mapº from the Navigation menu and confirm
your selection.
²A map with the area around the specified destination address is
shown. If no destination was entered before, a map with the area
around the current vehicle position is displayed.
²Press ENTER.
A menu appears in the upper left corner of the screen with the following
functions:
²Return:Returns you to the Navigation menu.

Guidance in partly mapped areas
In rural areas and smaller cities, not
every road is mapped (stored on the
map CD). When the vehicle leaves
the mapped road, the system
automatically changes from the
guidance screen to map display at
the 1/2 mile scale.
²Drive in direction of a displayed (mapped) road, if route guidance is
desired.
²As soon as the mapped road is reached, the system switches back to
guidance and plans a new route.
Automatic re-routing
If the guidance advice is not followed, the advice is missed, or it is not
possible to follow the advice due to traffic demands, the system will
automatically plan a new route within a few seconds.
Adjustment of the average speed setting
The navigation system uses the average speed of the vehicle by default
for calculating the remaining travel time and the estimated time of
arrival. The average speed can be adjusted if the displayed times (time
of arrival or remaining travel time) are consistently different from what
you experience. Please refer to theSystem informationsection of
System settings.

ALTERNATIVE ROUTE / DETOUR
The navigation system can calculate
an alternative route only during
guidance for an adjustable distance,
e.g.1-10km(1-6miles).
This function can be used to get
around traffic jams or if you do not
agree with the current route
planning of the navigation system.
The alternative route is calculated
from the current vehicle position for
the selected distance.

alternative route you want to be planned by the navigation system.
5. Confirm the selected distance by pressing ENTER.
6. Confirm the procedure by selecting ªYesº and pressing ENTER.
²An alternative route is calculated for the chosen distance within a
short period of time.
7. If you do not want an alternative route, cancel the operation by
selecting ªNoº on the display.
Even without the alternative route function, the navigation system plans
a new route automatically when you leave the advised route.

Limitations of the Emergency Feature
The performance of the Navigation System Emergency function is limited
by the following conditions:
²If the ignition switch is not in the ON or ACC position.
²If the vehicle is involved in an accident, damage to equipment may
have occurred.
²If the vehicle battery is dead, discharged or disconnected, the system
will not operate.
²If a CD digital road map is not loaded, the Emergency feature will not
perform properly. The correct CD digital road map must be loaded and
your location must be digitized in detail, in order for the name of the
street where you are currently located to show up on the display.
²Obstructions may cause the system to be temporarily inoperative.
Global positioning satellite signals and cellular telephone signals that
relay vehicle positioning and communications data may be obstructed
while inside tunnels, parking garages etc.
In some instances, the street name may not be displayed. For example,
you traveled outside the CD digital road map boundaries, the incorrect
CD is loaded, or you are in a remote, non-digitized area on the CD.
However, as long as the global positioning system is operating properly,
your current longitude and latitude will be displayed.
