OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation
OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation:
Getting Your Planned Route
Push the blue button to connect to an OnStar Advisor. Tell the Advisor
the state, city, address, or the name of your desired destination, or, you can
have the Advisor fi nd it for you. If you would like to avoid traveling on high-
ways or toll roads, be sure to tell the Advisor and they’ll create a planned
route that will attempt to avoid those types of roads. Keep in mind that
planned routes usually use main roads and may not take into account traffi c
congestion or new road construction projects.
Here’s how it works. The OnStar Advisor will create a planned route and
send it to your vehicle. The instructions begin by playing three initial messages,
similar to:
• “Directions are now being sent to your vehicle.”
• “Your destination is 10 miles away.”
• “Start out by going north on Main Street.”
If you don’t know which way north is, don’t worry, just start driving. Your
OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation system can identify where you are and knows
where you should be. Within a few seconds, if you’re not going north on Main
Street the system will recognize this and give you turn instructions to get you
going in the right direction. The system continually checks your position on the
planned route the Advisor sent to make sure you’re always going the right way.

Note: Once your planned route has been sent, if you’re curious to know
what roads you’ll be taking, you can press the phone button and give the
“route preview” command. The system tries to create the simplest driving
route to get you to your destination. See page 17 for all the voice commands
you can use.
