• Guidance and Status: the unit will speak guidance messages during route navigation, as well as
status messages such as “battery power low” and “lost satellite reception.”
• Route Guidance: the unit will speak guidance messages during route navigation.
• SPEAK Key Only: the unit will only speak when the SPEAK key is pressed (it will not talk
otherwise).
Battery Type – Used to designate the type of batteries currently used to power the StreetPilot III;
Alkaline or Ni-Cad (Nickel Cadmium).
Attention Tone – Determines whether the voice prompts are preceded by a chime.
Keypress Tone – Allows you to turn the internal beeper sounds On or Off. A beep confi rms that a key
has been pressed.
‘Guidance’ Tab
Off-Route Recalculation – Controls how the StreetPilot III recalculates the route when you depart
from the route (‘Prompted’, ‘Automatic’, ‘Off’).
Next Turn Pop-Up – Controls when the Next Turn page is displayed (‘Off’, ‘SPEAK Key Only’,
‘Automatic Only’, ‘Both’).
‘Routing’ Tab
The Routing Tab allows you to customize the routing features of the StreetPilot III.
Route Preference – Determines which criteria are used for fi nding the route to your destination. The
following options are available:
• Faster Time: this setting causes time to be used as the criteria for calculating your route. The
routes calculated with this setting will be faster to drive but may be longer in distance.
The ‘Off Road’ option is useful if you stop somewhere on
your trip where there are no roads (scenic area, etc.) and
you still want to navigate (via a straight line) using the
StreetPilot III.
Remember that a route with ‘Shorter Distance’ selected
will be shorter in distance but may take more time to
drive!
