Question Tracing Option not there on NAVI

On my 02 TL-S, the manual shows on the ICON page a 4th option to trace the route when you are not on a mapped street (I forget what the real name is)

When I go to that page, all I have is the Gas Station, Restaurant, and ATM choices.

Is this a change or a problem?

THANKS

You are probably referring to the "breadcrumb" feature that is found on the MDX. I believe this is for off-road use, and will only be found on the MDX. I guess they left it off of our TL's so we don't try to go off road with them (hmm, that gives me an idea...)

That's right. The dealer told me the "breadcrumb" feature is only on the MDX-rats!

That sux. Why would they "dual-inventory" the Nav sytem? Why would they describe it in the TL manual? Why not put it in there, especially when they don't have every street in their map database.

I cannot understand what the big deal is about mapping the entire US. You can buy a $30 CD-ROM with every street on it from CompUSA, but on a $2000 DVD, they only have the metropolitan areas mapped completly.

What's the deal?

Maybe the antenna is for the OnStar? Just a guess.
