Map Orientation

The map can be orientated two ways:
• North-up: North pointing up as you
would normally view a paper map.
• Heading-up: The map constantly
rotates so the road you are driving on
always points up (as you see the road
through your front windshield).
"North Up"
"Heading Up"
NOTE:
The red arrow in both heading symbols
always shows the direction north.
Push in on the Interface Dial on the
map or guidance screen and select
North-up or Heading-up to switch
between the available orientation, or say
"Display heading up" or "Display north
up."
In the larger map scales (above 1 mile or
1.6 kilometer), the map is always
oriented with north facing upward. You
cannot change the orientation.
To view other areas on the map, move
the Interface Dial left, right, up, or
down. The map will shift in that
direction. To return the map to your
current location, press either the MAP/
GUIDE, the CANCEL, or the NAVI
BACK button on the steering wheel.
The display automatically changes to
the map screen when you reach your
destination. Press the MENU button to
return to the Enter destination by
screen.
NOTE:
• For information on the available
voice commands, see Voice
Command Index on page 146.
• If you are on a route and the
Interface Dial is moved, the "Time
to Destination" and "Distance to
Destination" indications are
replaced with an indicator showing
distance from the current vehicle
location.

Driving to Your Destination

Destination Icon

The destination icon only shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block.) Since most cities
use only a portion of the 100 possible
addresses (for example, in the 1400
block, the addresses may only go up to
1425 before the 1500 block starts).
Therefore, the address 1425 will be
shown a quarter of the way down the
block by the system instead of near the
end of the block where the destination is
actually located.
Tip:
When on a route, you can view a map
showing your destination. Using voice
control, say "Display destination map."
