Driving to Your Destination
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
Set up
screen
(second) (see page
90
).
If the
Rerouting
option in Set up 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
Set up
screen
(second) is set to
ON
(see page
100
).
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.
