Creating a Trip with Waypoints
Once a destination has been entered, you can also add
waypoints. Trip waypoints are destinations you want
to arrive at before reaching your final destination. The
system will automatically guide you to each waypoint,
then on to your final destination. Up to 10 waypoints
can be entered for any trip.
To enter a waypoint, press the Trip Points reconfigurable
soft key on the Navigation Menu screen. Then, turn
the TUNE/SEL knob to scroll the trip points list. A
waypoint can be added at any location designated by
a blank flag. Press the TUNE/SEL knob to select
the location. The system will then allow you to enter a
waypoint using the same method as Enter Destination.
See “Enter Destination” listed previously in this
section for more information.
Once you have entered all desired waypoints for your
trip, press the Calculate key. The system will return you
to the map and will plan the route to your waypoints
and destination.
After the first waypoint, the color of the highlighted route
will change. See Colors on the Screen on page 2-34
later in this section for more information.
Editing a Trip
While at the Trip Point screen, press the Edit
reconfigurable soft key. This screen allows you
to delete or move points in a trip. If you wish to delete
a waypoint, scroll to that waypoint and press Delete.
You may also change the order of the waypoints
by scrolling to a waypoint and pressing Move. Then,
turn the TUNE/SEL knob to move it to the desired
location within the list. Once the waypoint is at
the desired location, press the TUNE/SEL knob or
the OK key.
Plan a Route
After a destination has been entered, you must press
the Calculate reconfigurable soft key. The system
will return you to the map and will plan the route to your
selected destination. While the system is planning the
route, the Route Option and Cancel keys will be
available. The Add Way Pt key will also appear if there
are less than 10 waypoints in the current trip.
When your route guidance has been planned, it will be
highlighted and a checkered flag will appear on the
map to show your destination. Symbols will also appear
for any waypoints that have been set, and “Route
Calculation Completed” will be displayed.
2-32
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
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, the
next maneuver will be in the upper center of the map
screen. Anytime while on the route, you can press
the navigation repeat key to get an audio prompt of
your next maneuver.
There are two different types of roads in the map
database. Fully attributed roads allow for a destination
to be set and turn-by-turn guidance to be provided to the
exact location of the address. In Process Data (IPD)
roads contain only street name and address information.
Other information such as turn restrictions and
direction of travel is not included for these IPD roads.
2-33
Therefore, turn-by-turn guidance cannot be provided
to the exact address. When trips are planned that
include an IPD destination, turn-by-turn guidance will be
provided on the fully attributed roads closest to the
destination. When nearing the end of the highlighted
route, the system will state “Enroute to your destination,
some roads contain incomplete data. Turn guidance
will not be provided in this area.” As you reach the end
of the highlighted route, the system will state “Turn
guidance will not be provided in this area. Please use
the direction arrow and distance indicator to proceed to
your destination.” You should refer to the direction
and distance information in the lower center area of
the screen to navigate to the destination or refer to
the information in the waypoint box for a waypoint.
A purple highlighted route will appear on the IPD roads.
This is only a suggested route due to the lack of
traffic restriction information on the IPD roads. Special
attention should be paid to the existing traffic conditions,
such as one-way streets and prohibited turns on IPD
and fully attributed roads. Always follow the existing
traffic restrictions in both IPD and fully attributed roads.
Once your vehicle is near your destination, the
system will state “You’ve arrived at your destination,
ending route guidance.”
Traveling Across Regions
If you plan a trip that exceeds 5,000 miles (8 046 km)
in straight line distance from the vehicle’s current
position, you will receive a message stating
Destination/waypoint exceeds maximum distance.
To avoid this, plan your trip in smaller segments.
Select a closer destination that you would like to
travel through on your way to your final destination.
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
highlighted route to the next waypoint or destination will
be blue. All highlighted routes to further waypoints or
destinations will be maroon.
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.
2-34
OnStar®System
When using the OnStar®system, the audio system
will be muted and the navigation voice prompts will be
disabled during the call. The volume of the OnStar
call can be adjusted by using the steering wheel volume
controls. See “Audio Steering Wheel Controls” and
“OnStar
manual for more information.

®
Global Positioning System (GPS)
The navigation system determines the position of your
vehicle by using satellite signals, various vehicle signals,
and map data.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) locates the
current position of your vehicle using signals sent by
the United States Department of Defense GPS satellites.
While your vehicle is receiving signals from these
satellites, the GPS symbol will not appear on the
map screen.
However, 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. This is when the GPS symbol
will appear on the map screen.
This system may not be available or interferences may
occur if any of the following are true:
• Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, large
trucks, or a tunnel.
• Objects are located on the rear shelf.
• Satellites are being repaired or improved.
• After-market glass tinting has been applied to
the vehicle’s rear windshield.
Notice: Aftermarket glass tinting with metallic
material will interfere with the system’s ability to
receive GPS signals and cause the system to
malfunction. You might have to replace the rear
window to correct the problem. The repairs would
not be covered by your warranty. Do not apply
aftermarket glass tinting with metallic material to
the rear window of your vehicle.
If you are experiencing a problem, see Vehicle
Positioning on page 2-36 or Problems with Route
Guidance on page 2-37 for more information.
2-35
Vehicle Positioning
At times, the position of the vehicle on the map may
be inaccurate due to one or more of the following
reasons:
• The road system has changed.
• The vehicle is traveling on slippery road surfaces
such as sand, gravel, and/or snow.
• The vehicle is being driven on winding roads.
• The vehicle is being driven on a long straight road.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall building or a
large vehicle.
• The surface streets run parallel to a freeway.
• The vehicle has just been transferred by a vehicle
carrier or a ferry.
• The current position calibration is set incorrectly.
• The vehicle is being driven at high speeds.
• The vehicle is repeating a change of direction by
going forward and backward, or turning on a turn
table in a parking lot.
• The vehicle is entering and/or exiting a parking lot
or garage with a roof.
• The vehicle has a roof carrier, ski, or bike rack
installed on it.
• The vehicle has tire chains on it.
• The tires have been replaced.
• The tire pressure is incorrect.
• The tires are worn.
• The battery is disconnected.
• The vehicle is driven in heavy traffic where driving
is at low speeds and the vehicle is stopped and
started repeatedly.
2-36
Problems with Route Guidance
If the System Needs Service
Inappropriate route guidance may occur under any of
the following conditions:
• You have not turned onto the road indicated by
the system.
• Route guidance is not available for the next turn.
• The route is not changed during automatic rerouting.
• Plural names of places are displayed.
• You are driving at high speeds, which may cause
the automatic rerouting to operate more slowly.
• The route prohibits the entry of a vehicle due to a
regulation by time or season or any other regulation
which may be given.
• A route cannot be found.
• A road is new, was recently changed or is not listed
on the DVD. The route to the destination may not
be shown. See Ordering Map DVDs on page 2-37.
If you are still experiencing difficulty with the navigation
system after reading this information, see your
GM dealer for assistance.
Ordering Map DVDs
The map DVD in your vehicle is the most up-to-date
information available when your vehicle was purchased.
The map DVD is updated periodically, provided that
the map information has changed. To order a new map
DVD, contact your dealer.
Database Coverage Explanations
Coverage areas 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 the map DVD is updated, more detail
may become available for areas which previously had
limited detail. See Ordering Map DVDs on page 2-37.

which provides aggregate, quality tested information from
the leading commercial and public traffic data providers
including government departments of transportation,
police, and emergency services, road sensors, cameras,
and airborne reports. Three types of traffic information for
major roadways are displayed on the navigation system:
• Unscheduled traffic incident data, such as accidents
and disabled vehicles
• Scheduled traffic incident data, such as road
construction and road closures
• Traffic flow information (rate of speed data)
Traffic information is delivered to the vehicle by the XM™
Radio satellites. XM NavTraffic™ makes it possible for
the navigation system to provide continuously updated
traffic information personalized for a driver’s needs.
XM NavTraffic™ currently broadcasts the traffic
information for 20 markets nationally: Atlanta,
Baltimore*, Boston, Chicago, Dallas/Ft Worth*,
Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale*,
Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York City, Philadelphia,
Phoenix, Pittsburgh, San Diego, San Francisco/Oakland,
San Jose, Seattle, St. Louis*, and Washington, D.C.
The service may be available in more cities in the future.
Visit www.xmnavtraffic.com for more details on local
coverage.
