points of interest in many different categories. Seven different
POI icons can be programmed to appear on the map. These
icons indicate the locations and names of the nearest ATMs,
Banks, Gas Stations, Restaurants, Hotels, Parking Garages,
and Grocery Stores. Three of the 7 categories of icons can be
displayed on the map screen at one time.
Routing Options
You can program the system to minimize the use of toll roads
and freeways or to provide the quickest route. If you go off
course at any time, the system can automatically recalculate a
route to the destination from your present location.
System Limitations
The DVD-ROM that is included with your system contains
the most recent map data available at the time of production.
Because of changes in streets, neighborhoods, and business
locations, there may be situations where the navigation sys-
tem is not able to route you to your desired destination by the
entry method you have chosen. If this occurs, choose another
entry method.
SYSTEM INTRODUCTION

Software upgrades are available to keep your system current.
To obtain information about upgraded map data, please call

signals (tall buildings, tunnels, indoor parking lots).
Road mismatch. If there is an adjacent road within ap-
proximately 35-100 feet (10-30 meters) of your current
position, the system may display your vehicle on the adja-
cent road.
