Current Street (When audio information is displayed, touch CURRENT STREET/AUDIO INFO. to display the current street name.)
Main Menust Distance and Time to Destination When you select a destination, the distance to the destination is the actual road distance of the calculated route, and “not as the crow flies.” When viewing a list of destinations (points of interest), such as restaurants, the distance is “as the crow flies” (see Sort by Distance to Travel on page 34).
The displayed time to destination may differ from the actual travel time because the time is calculated based on the posted road speed data. If part of your route includes unverified roads, the “distance” and “time to go” for that portion is estimated using 25 mph as an average speed.
Direction List When you press the MAP/GUIDE button on the guidance screen, the display changes to:
NOTE: • The map and voice guidance in
unverified areas differ from those in verified areas. See Unverified Area Routing on page 77.
• Only maneuvers that occur at
freeway exits or contain freeway exit information will show the exit info icon (“i” icon) on the right end of the items in the direction list. If no exit info icon is shown on the list, the Exit Info is grayed out.
Driving to Your Destination
You can see the direction list and the distance to each maneuver. Press the MAP/GUIDE button to return to the map screen.
You can scroll through the direction list by screen or by using the scroll bar, or one instruction at a time, using the joystick. The display returns to the current route instruction in about 10
seconds if you stop scrolling through the list.Navigation System

EXIT INFO (Freeway Exit Information) You can search freeway exit information and add new destinations or waypoints to the calculated route as a new destination or waypoint. The exit info icon (“i” icon) on the right end of the items in the direction list indicates that there is freeway exit information available. Say or select Exit Info and choose the exit and place to set as a new destination or waypoint.
On the map screen, you can display freeway exit information using the joystick. The exit info icon will only be displayed on the map screen if there is any freeway exit information available. Choose the 1/4, 1/2, and 1 mile scale, then move the cross hairs to the desired exit info icon and click on it. Choose a place from the list and set as a new destination or waypoint.
NOTE: To turn on “Freeway exit information,” display the icon bar and select the “i” icon (see page 55).

Split Screen Guidance When on route to a destination, you have two display options: single screen mode (the factory default) and the split screen mode.
Single screen mode – a map is displayed with occasional guidance pop-up windows as you approach a maneuver.
Split screen mode – the map is always displayed on the left of the screen, and the maneuver or direction list is displayed on the right hand side of the screen.
The single screen mode or split screen mode can be set in either Set up, or by accessing the icon bar (see Guidance Mode on page 55).
When you get near the maneuver, the map screen changes to:
On the map screen, the location of the maneuver is marked with a small yellow square. The guidance window is simply an enlargement of the area indicated by the yellow square. After you complete the maneuver, the display returns to a full map screen when the single screen mode is set, or to a map and direction list screen when the split screen mode is set.

Map Orientation The map can be oriented with north pointing up (North-up), or with a front window view (Heading-up). The red arrow in both heading symbols always points north. The map can display "north up" in any scale. However, "heading up" can be viewed only in the five most detailed map scales (1/20, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1 mile, or 80, 200, 400, 800 meter and 1.6 kilometer).
“Heading Up”
“North Up”
You can switch between the two by saying “Display North up,” or “Display Heading up,” or by touching the North pointer icon in the upper corner of the screen.
The display automatically changes to the map screen when you reach your destination. Press the MENU button to return to the Enter destination by screen.
NOTE: For information of the available voice commands, see Voice Command Index on page 113.
In the larger map scales (above 2 mile or 3 kilometer), the map is always oriented with north facing upward. You cannot change the orientation.
To view other areas on the map, move the joystick left, right, up, or down. The map will shift in that direction. To return the map to your current location, press either the MAP/GUIDE, the CANCEL, or the BACK button on the steering wheel.

Main Menust Destination Icon The destination icon only shows the approximate location of the destination. This occurs because a city block can have as many as 100 possible addresses (for example, the 1400 block is followed by the 1500 block.) Since most cities use only a portion of the 100 possible addresses (for example, in the 1400 block, the addresses may only go up to 1425 before the 1500 block starts). Therefore, an address if 1425
will be shown a quarter of the way down the block by the system instead of near the end of the block where the destination actually is.Landmark Icons Landmark icons are shown in the map screen on 1/20 and 1/8 mile scale, or 80
