Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
Problem
Solution
The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or
the way some other mapping program displays. Why is this?
The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See
Changing Routing Method on page
52
.
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year.
The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page
120
for
ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road, and the
“GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is
white or missing.
• The GPS antenna (located under the dashboard) may be blocked by
personal items. For best reception, remove items from the dashboard, such
as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on

I entered a destination, but the blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my destination. Why is this?
Your route has entered an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page
93
.
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this?
Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by selecting “North-up”
from the
Map menu
. See Map Orientation on page
62
.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations. Why is this?
The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page
61
.
While driving to my destination, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer.
The “Time to go” is based on actual road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based on your actual speed to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short distance
behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong?
No. When at an intersection, the system is unaware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page
112
