System Set-up
NOTE:
The maximum size of the “Avoid area”
is 1/4 of the navigation display screen
regardless of the map scale setting.
The selected area will be displayed as a
shaded box with an orange border. Push
in on the joystick to set the end point of
the avoided area. To “re-draw” the area,
touch
Cancel
and repeat the area
selection process. If your selected area
contains a freeway, the system will
prompt you with a pop-up box saying,
“Do you want to avoid freeways?”
Answering “No” allows you to enter a
route through an avoided area on a
freeway, and skip the “Avoid area
caution box” (See
Pop-ups and
Disclaimers
on page 61).
Say or select
Done
to return to the
Edit
area
screen. When you return, the
“Vicinity” field is automatically filled in
by the system. Re-edit the area “Name”
if desired. Select
Done
on the
Edit
avoid area
screen to finish editing.
Your new avoided area will now appear
on the “Avoid area” list screen, and be
viewable on the
map
screen.
NOTE:
• You can select areas to avoid,
however you cannot select roads or
areas that you want the system to use
for routing.
• If you are drawing a box around a
road as an area to avoid, ensure the
following: When you draw the box,
make sure that the road or portion of
a road that you encircled includes an
intersection. For instance, in the
example above, highway 213 will be
avoided, but Van Ness will not be
avoided because it lacks an
intersection in the enclosed box.
Edit Waypoint Search Area
When driving on route to your
destination, you can select a temporary
destination “waypoint” (marked with a
small flag on the map) along your route
for gas, a restaurant, or other POI. When
you resume your trip from the
“waypoint,” the system continues the
trip to your original destination. To use
this feature, see
Waypoints
on page 62.
This Setup item allows you to select the
distance from your highlighted route
line (on either side of your route), that
the system will search for a “waypoint.”
From the
Routing & Guidance
screen,
select
Edit
for “Edit Waypoint Search
Area,” and then choose the desired
search distance for either “On
Freeways” or “On Surface Street.”
