Maps

This section includes basic information that you need to know about the map database.

Regional and Interstate Maps

The maps are stored on 10 compact discs (CDs). There are nine regional CDs available for the nine regions in the United States, and a tenth interstate CD that lists only major city centers and interstate highways. Canadian residents will receive two CDs, one regional and one interstate.
The map shown here contains the different regions and corresponding CD numbers for the United States. A regional map covers all interstate freeways and most state highways, county roads, major and general streets. A regional map may show greater detail in more populated areas than in less populated areas.
If a regional map does not contain a specific name of a city, see “Database Coverage Explanations” in the Index for more information.
T o load a map CD, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to ON.
2. Choose the CD for the region in which you are traveling or use the interstate CD.
3. Insert the CD, label side up, partway into the CD ROM player located above the Navigation System screen.
Load only one CD at a time. It will take approximately 20 seconds to initialize
the CD data.

Traveling on a Planned Route

After a route has been calculated and the route highlighted, you may hear an audio prompt to proceed to the highlighted route. When you are ready, drive the vehicle to the highlighted route. Once you begin driving on the route, the system will give additional audio and visual prompts, as you approach your next maneuver. Each maneuver is indicated on the map with a red maneuver pin.
Maneuver Pins
2-34
Maneuver pins are red “stick pin” icons on the map that indicate changes in the road or special action that must be taken by the driver to remain on the currently traveled road. For example, the road may have a sharp curve in it. The curve would not qualify as an official turn on the planned route. However, the driver must be aware of the curve so that he or she can stay on the planned route. Maneuver pins are always displayed along a planned route, but voice prompts and screen popups will only be given if these features are turned on.
As you are traveling, the current road is shown at the bottom center of the map screen. In addition in the upper center of the map screen will be the next maneuver. Anytime while on the route, you can press the NAV (navigation) Repeat button to get an audio prompt of your next maneuver.
Once your vehicle is near your destination, the system will say “You’ve arrived at your destination, ending route guidance.” This message is dependent upon the speed of your vehicle, not upon the distance of your vehicle from the destination. Traveling at a higher rate of speed may cause this message to play sooner than if you are traveling at a slower rate of speed.
Back: This button always returns you to the previous screen.

Traveling Across Regions

If you want to plan a route that will take you from one region to another, you must remember that all roads stop at the borders of a region. See “Regional Maps” in the Index for more information. In order to plan a route that will take you across regions, you must use one of the following methods:
D
Plan a route through a region and follow it until you reach the end of that region. At that time, you must load the next regional CD. Repeat this procedure until you reach your final destination.
D
Use the tenth CD, which only lists major highways and city centers, to plan a route to one of the cities on the CD. Once you have reached the region of your destination, remove the tenth disc and insert the CD for that region. If you will travel through more than one region, you must repeat the first procedure and load the various regional discs as required.
2-35

Colors on the Screen

When a route has been planned, it will be highlighted on the screen in blue. If you have set a waypoint(s) for your route, the colors on the screen will change. The waypoint(s) will be in maroon and from the waypoint(s) to the final destination will be blue. Once you have arrived at your final waypoint(s), the route to your destination will change to blue.
Different colors are also used to distinguish between interstate freeways, state highways, county roads, major streets and secondary streets. Highways will be shown as a thicker line than a general street will.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

The Navigation System determines the position of your vehicle by using satellite signals, various vehicle signals and map data from the map CD.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) locates the current position of your vehicle using signals sent by the United States Department of Defense GPS satellites. GPS will appear green on the screen if the satellite signal is received. GPS will be gray if no signal is being received. See “Symbols” listed previously in this section for more information.
At times, other interferences such as the satellite condition, road configuration, the condition of the vehicle and/or other circumstances can interfere with the system’s ability to determine the accurate position of the vehicle.
The system may not be available or interference may occur if any of the following are true:
D
Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, large trucks or a tunnel.
D
Metallic objects are located on the dashboard.
D
Satellites are being repaired or improved.
D
After
-market glass tinting has been applied to the
vehicle’s windshield.
Do not apply after windshield or place metallic objects on the vehicle’s dashboard. Glass tinting and metallic objects will interfere with the system’s ability to receive GPS signals and may cause the system to malfunction.
If you are experiencing a problem, see “Vehicle Positioning” and “Problems with Route Guidance” following for more information.

Inappropriate route guidance may occur under one of the following conditions:
D
When the vehicle did not turn onto the road indicated by the system,
D
when route guidance is not available for the next right or left turn,
D
when the route may not be changed during automatic rerouting,
D
when there is no route guidance because of a turn at an intersection,
D
when plural names of places are displayed,
D
when a delay in automatic rerouting occurs because of high speed driving,
D
when automatic rerouting displays a route returning to a set waypoint which was missed originally,
D
when the route prohibits the entry of a vehicle due to a regulation by time or season or any other regulation which may be given,
D
when a route cannot be found, or
D
when the route to the destination is not shown because of recently changed or unlisted roads on the CD.

If the System Needs Service

If you are still experiencing difficulty with your Navigation System and have read the information listed here, see your dealer for assistance.

Database Coverage Explanations

Coverage areas within the United States vary with respect to the level of map detail available for any given area. Some areas will feature greater levels of detail than others. If this happens, it does not mean there is a problem with the system. As regional map CDs are updated, more detail may become available for areas which previously had limited detail.
