“pit stop” while traveling to a destination. For instance, you may want to stop for gas or food, and then continue on to your destination. Although you can enter up to 5 waypoints at a time, typically you may never use more than one at a time. Waypoints are routed to in the order they were entered (number 1 first, etc.), with your final destination routed to last. If you wish to create a custom route of several destinations, and then control the order of routing, the function “Today’s Destinations” is probably a better choice (see By Today’s Destinations on page 40).
Driving to Your Destination
Changing the Route While on route, you may wish to alter your route, add an interim “Waypoint” (pit stop), choose a different destination, or cancel your current destination.
To change your present route, you can do any of the following:
Say “Menu,” or press the MENU button to view the Change route by screen: (cid:127) Add a Waypoint or pit stop (page 63). (cid:127) Avoid a certain street or streets
(page 64).
(cid:127) Detour (page 64). (cid:127) Change routing method (page 64). (cid:127) Cancel the current route (page 65). (cid:127) Back to the current route (page 65).

Driving to Your Destination
Next, select your “Waypoint Category,” then follow the menu prompts to select a destination. When the system performs a search from Places Along the Route, it displays matches that lie within a corridor on either side and in front of you, along your route. From Places Around the Destination, the system displays matches in a spiral pattern outward from the destination. The search “corridor” distance value can be changed in Edit Waypoint Search Area in Setup (see page 87).
To add another waypoint, press the MENU button and repeat the procedure. If Search Places on Route is grayed out, the maximum of 5 waypoints has been entered.

Unverified Area Routing: Off (factory default) 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. 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. 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 is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance.
A direction list is typically not available. However, depending on your route, directions are provided to help you reach the first available verified road.
Unverified Area Routing: On 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.
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. 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. Voice guidance commands end with the words “If possible.” This is to remind the driver to verify all traffic restrictions before making a maneuver. A direction list is provided showing street names and turn symbols in pink.

Unverified Area Routing When driving to your destination, you have the choice of using or not using “unverified” roads. You make this choice in 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.

Main Menust Unverified Area Routing “Off”
Unverified Area Routing “On”
System Set-up
With Unverified Area Routing Off, the driver chose to take a shortcut, and avoid the long route. The moment you enter an unverified street, a caution box appears on the screen, and is read by the voice. This lets you know that you are about to enter an unverified area and that you will be following a dotted “vector line” that points to your destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On, a caution box appears on the screen and is read by the voice. In this case you will be presented with a dashed blue/pink line instead of the regular blue route line. You cannot assume that all guidance is appropriate. This is your signal to pay attention to posted traffic restrictions.
In both cases, when you actually enter the unverified street, a short caution will remind you. You will see and hear this short caution message whenever you enter unverified areas.

With Unverified Area Routing Off, you are presented with a blue “vector line” that always points to the destination. You must manually choose streets from the map that will lead to your destination. No guidance is provided, and there are no directions to the destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On, a blue/pink route line is shown for unverified segments. Voice guidance commands in unverified areas always end with “if possible.” This is your signal that you should use additional caution, and obey all traffic restrictions. The maneuver window “arrow” shows any portions of unverified turns in blue/ pink dashes.
These guidance maneuvers are only a suggestion. You should always confirm that the maneuver is possible. A direction list is also provided that shows any unverified roads in a blue color, with pink arrows pointing to the next maneuver.

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 62.
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 “Around the destination” (see Waypoints on page 62).
System Set-up
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.

Vehicle From the Setup screen (second), say or select Vehicle and the following screen appears:
To get to Guidance Mode from the Setup screen, select in sequence, "More", "Routing & Guidance", and "Guidance Mode".
Off-road Tracking With this On, the system will provide white off-road tracking dots (“breadcrumbs”) on the map screen whenever you drive into an area where the map does not show any roads. See Map Screen Legend on page 18.
The default setting is Single Screen.
NOTE: The Guidance Mode can also be selected on the Icon Selection screen. See Showing Icons on the Map on page 57.
88 Navigation System
After you have traveled approximately 1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the system will display a series of white dots on the map screen to show the path you have traveled. This is provided so you can follow the dots to backtrack to the mapped road you originally left. Tracking continues until you reach a mapped road. See Off-road Tracking on page 59.
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 mile, or the 80, 200, 400, and 800 meter scales. Use the ZOOM buttons to change the scales if necessary.
NOTE: To clear existing dots, turn this feature off and exit Setup. To re-enable this feature, return to Setup and turn it on again.
Main Menust Correct Vehicle Position The system relies on satellites for positioning information. Buildings, tunnels, and other objects can block or reflect these signals, requiring the system to use “dead reckoning” to determine your location and direction. This can sometimes lead to small errors in positioning, such as showing you on an adjacent street.
NOTE: Using this function to adjust vehicle position is not recommended. When the system acquires a GPS signal, it will automatically place the vehicle in the correct location.
If you choose to do this, follow these steps: 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Select Adjust, and the system will
display a map adjustment screen.
System Set-up
NOTE: If you continually have to do this, there are either problems in the database or GPS reception problems. See Accessories Precautions on page 5.
4. When you have finished, press the joystick or select Done to return to the previous screen.
5. As you drive, the current road will be displayed at the bottom of the 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:
System Set-up
The federal government has mandated that, starting in 2007, daylight savings time will change in March & November instead of the old schedule in April & October. The new government daylight savings time schedule is subject to review and possible cancellation in 2008. The dates that the navi switches between standard and daylight savings time are stored in the navi software, and is not triggered by GPS satellite signals. Therefore, your navi clock will change based on the daylight savings time schedule. If you need to adjust the clock for daylight savings time, go to the Clock adjustment screen in the Setup, and simply adjust the navi time by or
one hour.
Navigation System 91
Main Menust System Set-up
Auto Time Zone by GPS Sets automatic time zone selection by GPS to On or Off. If you are driving across the country and passing through time zones, then this feature will automatically set the time to the time zone you are traveling through. However, if you live and work in two different time zones, you may want to turn this feature off.
NOTE: When driving near a time zone boundary, the displayed time zone may fluctuate between the two zone times.
DST selection (Change DST schedule) This option lets you select the schedule (April–October, or March–November) when daylight saving time will automatically occur in your navi. The system default is the new 2007 "March– November" schedule as mandated by the US government. During 2008–2009, it is possible that this new change will be canceled by the government, and returned back to the previous "April– October" schedule. If so, simply change the schedule in this setting.
Time Adjustment Adjusts the current time in hours and minutes. You can reset the adjustment by selecting Reset. Selecting Done returns you to the previous screen.

Navigation System 93
Main Menust Entering the Security Code If the battery goes dead or is disconnected for any reason, you will have to enter a security code for the navigation system before you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you should have received a card that has the system’s security code and serial number. Keep this card in a safe place in case you need the code. If you lose the card, you must obtain the security code from your dealer.
Enter the four-digit security code, then select Done. If you have entered it correctly, the display changes to the Disclaimer screen. If you make a mistake, the system will display “incorrect PIN.” Re-enter your 4-digit security code. You have ten chances to enter the correct code. If all ten are incorrect, turn the ignition to OFF, then back to ON (II) to have ten more chances to enter the correct code.
NOTE: The anti-theft security code is unrelated to your optional Navigation system PIN (for Personal or Home Address).
System Initialization
System Initialization If for any reason, you lose power to the navigation system (like the battery was disconnected), the navigation system will require initialization. Once completed, your system will be ready to use.
This initialization requires the following: (cid:127) Entry of the 4-digit anti-theft security
code to “unlock” the navigation system.
(cid:127) GPS initialization (may not be needed
depending on the length of time the system was without power).
(cid:127) Map matching to align the GPS
coordinates to a place on the map (displays current street at the bottom of the map).
94 Navigation System
Main Menust GPS Initialization Depending on the length of time the battery was disconnected, your system may require GPS initialization. If it does, the following screen appears:
If this procedure is not necessary, the system proceeds directly to the Disclaimer screen (see page 16). During initialization, the system searches for all available GPS satellites, and obtains their orbital information. During this procedure the vehicle should be out in the open with a clear view of the sky.
If the navigation system finds the satellites properly, this box clears, and changes to the Disclaimer screen. If within ten minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your position, the following screen appears:
Navigation system is unable to acquire a proper GPS signal. - Move vehicle to another location. - Turn the ignition switch off. - Disconnect the battery for 30 minutes to clear the GPS receiver’s memory. - Reconnect the battery and follow the screen prompts.
After 30 minutes with this screen displayed, turn off the engine and restart the car. If you now see the Disclaimer screen, the GPS initialization is complete. The green GPS icon should appear in the upper left corner of the screen.
System Initialization
NOTE: (cid:127) The average acquiring time is less than 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
(cid:127) If the system is still unable to acquire
a signal, follow the instructions on the screen, or contact your local dealer for assistance.
Map Matching This part of the initialization matches the GPS coordinates found above with a road on the map screen. To perform this part of the procedure, ensure that the navigation system is displaying a map, and drive the vehicle on a mapped road (a road shown on the map screen). Do not enter a destination at this time. When the name of the current road you are driving on appears at the bottom of the screen, the entire procedure is complete. Your system is now ready to use.
Navigation System 95
Main Menust System Limitations
Although your navigation system is one of the most highly sophisticated pieces of equipment you will find in a modern automobile, you may find during its use, that it has certain limitations.
The system uses signals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) to aid in determining its current location. The GPS is operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. For security reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built into the GPS that the navigation system must constantly compensate for. This can cause occasional positioning errors of up to several hundred feet.
For example, in urban areas where streets are close together, this could cause the system to show that you are traveling on a street that parallels the street you are actually on. The system will, under most circumstances, correct itself while you drive.
96 Navigation System
Also, depending on your current view of the sky and the position of the satellites, the elevation may be shown incorrectly. You may also notice some delay of the vehicle position icon at intersections; this is normal. GPS Reception Issues The signals received from the GPS satellites are extremely weak (less than a millionth of the strength of a local FM station), and require an unobstructed view of the sky. The signal can easily be interrupted or interfered with by the following: (cid:127) Aftermarket metallic window tint
above or to the sides of the GPS antenna (located under the dash)
(cid:127) Cell phones, PDA’s, or other
electronic devices docked in a cradle or laying loose on the dash
(cid:127) Radar detectors mounted on the dash (cid:127) Remote starters, or “hidden” vehicle
location systems mounted near the navigation unit
(cid:127) Other aftermarket audio electronic
devices mounted near the navigation unit
(cid:127) Trees, tall buildings, freeway
overpasses, tunnels or overhead electrical power wires
Although the system will direct you to your desired destination, it may not always generate what you consider to be the most direct route. Try changing the method of routing (see Changing the Routing Method on page 45). You may also have Unverified Area Routing set to “OFF” (see Unverified Area Routing on page 81).
Additionally, the mapping database contains verified and unverified maps. See Map Overview on page 6. A Disclaimer screen will warn you if your route includes unverified streets. Unverified streets may be missing from the map, in the wrong location, or have an incorrect name or address range. Exercise additional caution when driving in these unverified areas.
Main Menust The destination icon 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), the address 1425 will be shown a quarter of the way down the block by the system instead of at the end of the block where the destination is actually located.
You may find that the system occasionally “reboots.” This is indicated by the display returning to the globe screen. A reboot can be caused by a number of things, such as extreme temperatures or shock from bumpy roads. It does not necessarily indicate a problem that requires service. If this happens frequently, please see your dealer.
System Limitations
Navigation System 97
Main Menust Database Limitations
You will find that some points of interest (POI) may be missing when you search the database. This can be caused if at the time the database was gathered, the name was misspelled, the place was improperly categorized, or the POI change is not yet in the database. This means you may not find places listed that you know exist. This is also true for police agencies and hospitals. In outlying areas, facilities listed may not be the closest. Always check with local information sources if you need law enforcement or hospital services.
Every effort has been made to verify that the system’s database was accurate at the time it was created. However, businesses do fail or move to new locations, and new businesses start in the old locations. For this reason, you may occasionally find “inaccurate” information when you select and drive to a point of interest (for example, a restaurant is now a jewelry store). The number of these inaccuracies increases the longer you go without an update.

102 Navigation System
Inserting the PC Card Ensure that the PCMCIA PC card adaptor contains the media chip, and that the card adaptor is fully inserted in the slot, otherwise the display door will not close. Once the card is inserted and the door closed, there is a delay while the system reads the tag information (the folders, song titles, etc.). Once the tag information is read, the “CARD” or “TRACK LIST” buttons will function. For more information on the search feature, see the audio section of the Owner's Manual.
Voice Control of PC Card Functions The navigation voice control system can be used to select the first 30 tracks directly by using the command, “Card play track x” (x=1-30). Additional voice commands allow the card tracks, artists, and albums to be played in a random, repeat, or in a scan mode. See the complete list of “Card” voice commands starting on page 130.
CD/CD-R Operation with Navi A CD or a burned CD-R with MP3 or WMA media files can be played by the audio system and controlled using the navigation voice commands. The display door will not close with a partially inserted CD in the slot. Once the display closes, there may be a slight delay before the “CD” or “TRACK LIST” buttons function. This is because the system has to read the tag information (artist album, and track names) to allow searches to function. For more information on the search feature, see the audio section of the Owner’s Manual.
NOTE: Ensure that burned CD-R disc do not have “stick-on” paper labels. The label adhesive can melt in a hot vehicle, and allow the label to curl up and jam the CD mechanism. Use a felt tipped marker to label your CD-R discs.
