When
displayed
These roads are found within metropolitan areas, and
include interstate freeways and major roads connecting
cities. These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include
residential streets away from the center of a town.
Street color

interstate freeways.
Shown on the daytime map screen as light brown.
Map quality
The database vendor has verified these streets.
Information like turn restrictions, average speed, and
whether it is a one-way street have been gathered and
used when creating your route to a destination. These streets have not been verified by the database vendor.
The system does not contain information on one-way streets,
turn restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown
on the map for reference and may have errors in map location,
naming, and address range.
Routing
differences
While driving to your destination, the displayed route
line is solid blue. The system provides voice and map
guidance to your destination. Your route line is either a blue dotted “vector line,” or a dashed
pink/blue line. For information on selecting this option, and the
routing differences, see Unverified Area Routing on page
93 .
Cautions
There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during
a route. However, because roads constantly change,
you are urged to use common sense, and always obey
posted traffic restrictions. Regardless of whether the user chooses route guidance, there
are cautionary screens before and during the route urging the
user to be extra cautious, and obey all traffic restrictions. See
Unverified Area Routing on page
93 .
Guidance
voice Voice guidance issues instructions such as “In a half-
mile, make a right turn.” The phrase “if possible” is added to each guidance instruction.
For example: “In a half-mile, make a right turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go” The time and distance “to go,” displayed while en route
to a destination, is based on the average speed and
distance for the roads used for your route. Because the average speed of these roads is not known, the time
and distance “to go” is based on a fixed average speed of
25 mph for these roads.
