The displayed time to destination may differ from the actual travel time because the time is calculated based on the posted road speed data and your current speed. 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.

Main Menust 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.
Guidance mode can be changed in either Setup (see Guidance Mode on page 88), or by accessing the icon bar (see Guidance Mode on page 57).
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 two ways: (cid:127) North-up: North pointing up as you would normally view a paper map. (cid:127) Heading-up: The map constantly
rotates so the road you are driving on always points up as you see the road through your front windshield.

Touch the Map Orientation icon on the map screen to switch between the available orientation, or say “Display heading up” or “Display north up.”
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 NAVI BACK button on the steering wheel.
54 Navigation System
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, the address 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 is actually located.
Tip: When on a route, you can view a map showing your destination. Using voice control, say “Display destination map.”
Landmark Icons Landmark icons are shown in the map screen on 1/20 and 1/8 mile scale, or 80 and 200 meter scale. The Freeway exit information is displayed on the 1/4, 1/2, and 1 mile scales. The icons are:

Main Menust Going Off the Route If you leave the calculated route, “Recalculating...” is displayed at the top of the screen. The system will recalculate the route from your current location and direction to the desired destination then give you a new route instruction. This is done automatically if you have set Rerouting to Automatic on the Setup screen (second) (see page 80).
If the Rerouting option in Setup is set to Manual, “Off route” appears at the top of the screen when you leave the calculated route. Say “Recalculate,” or touch Recalc. button whenever you wish the system to perform a recalculation.
Off-road Tracking If you drive more than half a mile from a mapped road, “Not on a digitized road.” appears at the bottom of the screen.
The map screen starts displaying a series of dots (breadcrumbs) to show the path you have taken if Off-road Tracking on the Setup screen (second) is set to On (see page 88).

By following the dots, you can backtrack to the mapped road you originally left. “Breadcrumbs” may occasionally be displayed in urban areas, such as large parking lots in shopping malls, or in new subdivisions where the roads are not yet in the database. In other cases you may see dots, if the system temporary goes off route, like in a parking garage where the GPS signal is unavailable.
These dots appear only in the 1/20, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 mile (or 80, 200, 400, and 800 meter) map scales. Use the ZOOM buttons to change scales if necessary.

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 curio shop 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.
