WARNING: Keep your eyes on the road.

It is your responsibility as the vehicle operator to keep your eyes on the road and be an alert driver at all times, ESPECIALLY when the vehicle is moving. The vehicle operator should not be distracted by the application displays, audible cues, or manually interacting with the controls.

8.13 Audible Guidance During Navigation

The lead times for the audible guidance are increa sed proportionally to your driving speed. This allows more time for changing lanes before a turn if you are driving at highway speeds as opposed to driving more slowly on local streets.

Whenever you miss a turn, turn the wrong way, tu rn too early or too l ate, or otherwise get off the planned ro ute to your destination, Scout automatically creates a new route t o your desi red destination, a udibly announce s, “Rerouting,” and gives you a new set of instructions. If you are viewing a Follow Me map, tap the Reroute button on t he screen for a ne w set of instructions.

Though the typical response time is a few seconds, it may take up to 15 to 30 seconds for Scout to update your route. If during this process you make additional deviations from y our current route, Scout may have to contact it s servers for another new route.

Since Scout requires access your carrier’s network, if you are off route and outside of the carrier’s coverag e area, you must return to your carrier’s coverage area in order for Scout to recalculate your route.
