HOW TO USE NAVIGATION IN YOUR VEHICLE

Here are instructions for customizing your Navigation system:

1. To make sure your preferences are saved, make sure you’re signed in to your Personal Profile on the infotainment system.
2. Then, tap the MENU icon (which looks like three dots) on the left side of the map screen.
3. From here, you can customize the following things:
   • Routing preferences: Choose from 3D Heading Up, 2D Heading Up or 2D North Up.
   • Settings: Adjust your map and route preferences, navigation voice control, traffic preferences, alert preferences and more.
   • Edit destinations: Add your most frequent or favourite destinations.
   • Show on map: Choose what types of businesses and locations you want to appear on the map.

1. On the map screen, tap the SEARCH icon (a magnifying glass) to reach the menu to enter a destination.
   
2. There are a few different ways to enter a destination, including:
   • Type a keyword, address or point of interest into the search bar
   • Tap on an icon to search by Recents, Favourites or various categories
   • Tap the VOICE RECOGNITION icon to search for a destination by voice
3. Choose your destination from the list of results on the screen, or change your search to find other locations.
4. Once your destination is selected, you can begin routing by tapping “Go.” Or you can view alternate routes, call the establishment or tap the STAR icon to add the destination to your list of favourites.

You can also start entering a destination by pressing and releasing the PUSH-TO-TALK button on your steering wheel. After the beep, say “Navigation” and follow the prompts to continue. If you have an eligible service plan, you can also press the blue or white OnStar® button in the vehicle and request directions from an Advisor.

You can store your common destinations such as home and work. There are a few ways to do it:

1. STAR icon: On the destination entry screen, enter the address you wish to save. When the location appears, tap the STAR icon to save the destination.
2. Profile: On the map screen, tap your profile icon to enter your home or work address.
3. Navigation settings: You can also edit these in the Navigation Settings menu.

Next time you want to route to the saved address, tap “Favorites” on the destination entry screen.  

After your route appears on screen, here are some of the features you can use:

1. Progress Bar: View your estimated time of arrival and distance remaining, or tap the bar for an overview of the whole route.
2. Arrival Details: Your remaining miles and estimated arrival time are displayed in the bottom right corner. Tap to view estimated remaining minutes.
3. Next Turn: Your next turn appears in the green bar at the top of the screen. Tap it for a list of all upcoming turns.
4. Zoom: Use the + or – icons to zoom in or out, or pinch and spread on the screen.
5. Mute: Tap this icon to mute or unmute voice prompts.
6. Cancel Route: Cancel the route in progress with one tap.
   

You can enter a location by typing it in on the screen or using Google Assistant.

1. Tap the MICROPHONE icon to enter an address by voice using Google Assistant.
2. Or tap the SEARCH bar to type in a location, address, point of interest or destination category (e.g., restaurants, charging station).
3. Choose your destination from the list of options on the screen or change your search to find other locations.
4. After you select your destination, available routes will be displayed on the screen. If there are multiple options, choose the route you’d like to use to confirm. You can also tap Routing Options for additional choices.
5. Verify the location and route by tapping Start. Your route will begin.

• When you’re signed in to your Google Account, your saved addresses will automatically appear as suggested destinations in the vehicle. If you’ve programmed home and work addresses into the Google Maps app on your smartphone, they will also appear in the vehicle as long as you’re on the same account.
• You can also go into the Settings menu in Google Maps and tap “Edit home or work” to save new addresses.

Google Maps offers additional routing features in electric vehicles. When you’re selecting your route, you can display available charging stations along your route and see your estimated charge state at arrival. If your battery state of charge gets low while you’re routing, Google Maps will prompt you to add a stop at a charging station along the way.

1. From the main map screen, tap the gear icon to enter the Settings menu.
2. From this menu, you can adjust the following options:
   • Turn-by-turn voice directions: When this option is enabled, you will have each step of navigation directions read out to you
   • Avoid tolls: When this option is enabled, navigation will not route you to toll roads when possible
   • Avoid ferries: When this option is enabled, navigation will not instruct you to board ferries when possible
   • Avoid highways: When this option is enabled, navigation will not route you to highways when possible

There are several ways to select a destination:

1. From the main screen, press the magnifying glass icon in the lower left corner to search for an address or a search term like “groceries.”
   • When you select a search result labelled “category,” you will see a list of multiple results from that category on the map.
   • Categories include Coffee, Groceries, Parking and more.
2. To navigate to a destination you can see on the Free Drive map screen, press the Points of Interest (POI) icon on the touch-screen. To select a destination that’s not a POI, press and hold the location for a few seconds.
   • After you select a destination, the app will display a destination card on the map. Tap the card and select “Navigate” to begin routing.
   • On the route preview screen, you may see an alternate route displayed that is a similar time or faster. Tap this route to select it if desired.
3. If you ask the available Alexa Built-In^† to search for an address or POI, Alexa will load the destination in Maps+.
   
   • For example, you can say, “Alexa, give me directions to 123 Main Street.”

• On the main map screen, you can interact with the map by swiping to move the map, pinching to zoom and using a two-finger swipe to tilt the map.
• If you navigate the screen away from the vehicle, you’ll see a recentre button appear that you can use to return to your vehicle’s location.
• You can also use the compass button to toggle between “North-is-up” and “Forwards-is-up” views.
• When “North-is-up” view is on, the top of your map screen will always point north. “Forwards-is-up” view will make sure your vehicle is always pointing toward the top of the map screen when driving forward.

Note: Some features of the app are not available while the vehicle is in motion. When the vehicle is in motion, features should be used by the passengers only.
