WHY DOES MY UNIT SOMETIMES MISS ANNOUNCING THE
STREET NAME?
When one turn immediately follows another, the name of the second street is not
announced. This is to ensure you have the information needed to make the correct turn.
WHY DOESN‟T THE UNIT ACCEPT THE STREET I AM
ENTERING? WHY CAN‟T I FIND MY ADDRESS?
Most often when this occurs, you are in the wrong search area. The address screen
assumes the search area is the same as the previous address entry. So if your last
designated search area was Illinois, then the current search area is Illinois. To change
your search area:
1. Tap the Search Area button. The SEARCH AREA WINDOW opens.
2. Use the alphabetic keyboard to enter the state or province you wish to
navigate to or within.
3. Either tap your selection on the list or highlight it and tap the checkmark.
4. The Search Area button displays the code for the newly selected destination
area.
MY DEVICE PROVIDED ME A ROUTE THAT WAS DIFFERENT
THAN THE ONE I WOULD ORDINARILY EXPECT THE SYSTEM
TO SELECT. WHY IS THAT?
GPS navigators rely on the quality of navigation software and maps, and the complex
interaction between then. The Route Profile setting determines the routing. The Fastest
Route setting relies on fast roads such as interstates and highways. This is not
necessarily the shortest route. The Shortest Route setting relies on the shortest distance
between two points, which may or may not be the fastest. The Optimum Route setting is
a blend of both the shortest and fastest routes.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEARCHING FOR A POI
NEARBY AND SEARCHING FOR A POI NEAR A DESTINATION?
POI nearby searches for destinations located within a given radius of your current
location. This feature is useful for locating destinations such the next gas station or
closest hospital.
POI near a destination searches for destinations located within a given radius of a
specified location. This feature is helpful for planning trips and does not require satellite
reception.
