Nav Freeway Exit Info Screen - where did it go?

When you have the NAV activated, there is a softkey on the screen in the lower left-hand side quadrant (right above the + button to zoom). Press that and it will give you five or six options for split-screen display.

 

To the best of my knowledge, that just means you aren't on a freeway. Are you trying this while parked in your driveway?

I have been on freeways that the Nav doesn't know are freeways, which causes little hiccups like this. Especially true for roads that recently became freeways.

 

Not all freeways are the same in the map database. The big Interstates all have exit information, but some of the smaller or less used limited access highways are treated as normal roads. It's confusing the first time you get on one. I pushed all sorts of buttons trying to get my exit information.

As previously mentioned you have to be on a freeway that the system recognizes or that function will stay grayed out. Once you have it selected it should stay selected, unfortunately it doesn't always do so. I've had to reset mine several times.

I have also had mine malfunction by displaying the freeway screen and the exits but no mileage to the exits. I left it alone for 20 miles or so thinking it would "fix itself", no such luck. I finally pulled over and removed the Nav CD and reinstalled it, it came back up and ran OK after that.
