Cancel a Route
If a route is in progress using either the vehicle navigation system or the
Turn-by-Turn route, and a new route is requested, the current route in progress will be canceled.
If equipped, the position of the vehicle is determined by using satellite signals, various vehicle signals, and map data.
At times, other interference such as the satellite condition, road configuration, condition of the vehicle, and/or other circumstances can affect the navigation system's ability to determine the accurate position of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position of the vehicle using signals sent by GPS satellites. When the vehicle is not receiving signals from the satellites, a symbol appears in the status bar.
This system might not be available or interference can occur if any of the following are true:
For more information if the GPS is not functioning properly, see Problems with Route Guidance 0 169 and
If the System Needs Service 0 170.
At times, the position of the vehicle on the map could be inaccurate due to one or more of the following reasons:
Inappropriate route guidance can occur under one or more of the following conditions:
To recalibrate the vehicle's position on the map, park with the vehicle running for two to five minutes, until the vehicle position updates. Make sure the vehicle is parked in
a location that is safe and has a clear view of the sky and away from large obstructions.
If the navigation system needs service, see your dealer.
The map data in the vehicle is the most up-to-date information available when the vehicle was produced. The map data is
updated periodically, provided that the map information has changed and the vehicle has a relevant service plan.
See www.gmnavdisc.com for details on ordering, purchasing, and installing a new or replacement SD card. Features are subject to change. For more information on this feature, see my.chevrolet.com/learn.
If the vehicle is equipped with Connected Navigation, which is a subscription service that enables certain features of the navigation system, such as Traffic, Smart Search/Routing, and Predictive Navigation, then the system will download the latest map data from the cloud.
Coverage areas vary with respect to the level of map detail available for any given area. Some areas feature greater levels of detail than others. If this happens, it does not mean there is a problem with the system. As the map data is updated, more detail can become available for areas that previously had limited detail. See Map Data Updates 0 170.
