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 47.

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 112 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 on the passenger's side of the rear shelf) may be

blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the rear

shelf, 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

page 105.

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 87.

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 57.

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 56.

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 105.
