Going Off The Route; Off-Road Tracking - Acura 2008 MDX Navigation Manual

Main Menu

Going Off the Route

If you leave the calculated route,
"Recalculating..." is displayed at the top
of the screen. The system will
recalculate the route from your current
location and direction to the desired
destination then give you a new route
instruction. This is done automatically if
you have set Rerouting to
AUTOMATIC on the Setup screen
(second) (see page 91).
If the Rerouting option in Setup is set
to MANUAL, "Off route" appears at the
top of the screen when you leave the
calculated route. Say "Recalculate," or
select Recalculation whenever you
wish the system to perform a
recalculation.

Off-road Tracking

If you drive more than half a mile from
a mapped road, "Not on a digitized
road." appears at the bottom of the
screen.
The map screen starts displaying a
series of dots (breadcrumbs) to show the
path you have taken if Off-road
Tracking on the Setup screen (second)
is set to ON (see page 101).

Driving to Your Destination
By following the dots, you can
backtrack to the mapped road you
originally left. "Breadcrumbs" may
occasionally be displayed in urban
areas, such as large parking lots in
shopping malls, or in new subdivisions
where the roads are not yet in the
database. In other cases you may see
dots, if the system temporary goes off
route, like in a parking garage where the
GPS signal is unavailable.
These dots appear only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile (or 80, 200, 400, and
800 meter) map scales. Rotate the
Interface Dial knob to change scales
if necessary.
Tracking continues for approximately
150 miles; dots at the beginning of the
trail will start disappearing when you
exceed that distance. When you reach a
mapped road, the system stops
displaying dots.
