This function allows you to select areas 
you wish to avoid when calculating a 
route to your destination. You can select 
up to five areas to avoid. You may wish 
to set up an “avoid area” to route around 
long-term road construction, closures, 
or any area you wish to avoid. If you 
enter a route that takes you through or 
into an “avoid area,” a pop-up box will 
warn you that your route takes you into 
one of these areas. However, you can 
still choose destinations in an avoided 
area.

When you select 

 for the Setup item 

“Edit Avoid Area,” the following list 
screen is displayed:

You can select

Each choice provides a slightly different 
way to locate the approximate map 
display for drawing the area you wish to 
avoid. After selecting the choice, a 

map

 

screen will be displayed.

Use the 

 buttons to select the 

map scale (available scales are 1/20, 
1/8, and 1/4 mile scales). Use the 
joystick to move the crosshairs (red 
circle) to the desired start point and push 
in the joystick to “set” the start point. 
Then move the joystick in a straight or 
diagonal direction to encompass the 
area to be avoided.
