Navigation System Operation

Selecting a Destination

A destination can be selected by Address, Intersection, Place, Phone Number of a Point Of Interest, Personal Address, Previous Destination, Map Input, or Today's Destinations. Refer to the Navigation System Owner's Manual for detailed information.

Traveling to a Destination

Confirm a selected route - The system display asks you to select one of four route options:

^ Direct Route - Takes the least amount of time

^ Easy Route - Minimizes the number of turns

^ Minimize Freeways - Avoids freeway travel (when possible)

^ Minimize Toll Roads - Avoids toll roads (when possible)

Going off the route - If you leave the route, the system recalculates the route from your current position.

Modifying the route - The system can recalculate portions of the route and/or avoid a specific street, and then return you to the current route.

Save current location - This option stores the current location for later use (it does not change or cancel the route instructions currently in progress). A location can be stored any time the navigation system is in use.

Personal Addresses

Two users can each store up to 50 destinations (addresses with phone numbers) in the system once a PIN (Personal Identification Number) is entered. Refer to the Navigation System Owner's Manual for instructions on how to enter a P/N and use the Personal Addresses function.

System Limitations

Always verify the audio and visual route information by carefully observing roadway signs, signals, etc. Use your own good judgment, and obey traffic laws while driving. The navigation system has these limitations:

^ The GPS (global positioning system) satellites used by the navigation system are operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. For security reasons, certain inaccuracies are built into the GPS. This can cause occasional positioning errors of up to several hundred feet. If the navigation system indicates your position incorrectly, wait several seconds until it corrects itself. The system may also correct itself after you make a turn or cross a road.

^ The routes calculated by the system may not always be what you consider to be the most direct ones.

^ Since businesses tail or move to new locations, some information may be inaccurate. Also, route guidance may conflict with actual road conditions such as street closures, construction, and detours.

^ Occasionally, the navigation system may "reboot" due to excess heat or shock, or from recalculating a route too many times. Rebooting does not necessarily indicate a need for service.

^ GPS reception is affected by outside electrical interference from aftermarket electronic devices placed near the GPS antenna.
