Navigation System

^ Blank white screen displayed after Subaru opening screen; occurs on initial start up of the Navigation System when the vehicle is put in reverse.

^ List of satellite channels unavailable while driving.

^ Touch screen freezes when incorrect house number entered; when inputting an address, if a house number is entered that does not exist on the street that is subsequently entered, the touch screen freezes; however the hard keys will still work.

^ Route is not displayed on 16 mile scale.

^ Map continues to scroll; occasionally the map will continue to scroll even after removing finger from touch screen.

^ Display of progress bar incorrect; the progress bar shown in the enlarged intersection view indicating distance to the intersection shows increasing bar instead of decreasing bar.

^Maintenance Reminder icon not displayed when more than one vehicle reminder (maintenance, check oil, check tires) is set for the same day.

^ Incorrect software version format displayed (V 05 07.11 2007 ver.1).

^ Station preset memory not functioning in FM Scan mode; unable to scan station presets.

^ The "Cancel Guidance" option is still available after destination is reached. If the route option menu is displayed when the destination is reached the cancel guidance option remains available. If the cancel guidance is selected and yes is selected the screen freezes.

^ "Classic" is misspelled in the FM Category search option.
