WHAT IS A NAVIGATION
SYSTEM?
ABOUT THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This navigation systemcombines the data obtained from the vehicle (by gyro sensor) and
from GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites to calculate thecurrentlocation of the vehicle. This position is then displayed on the
screen, allowing route guidance to a destination.
WHAT IS GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)?
GPSisa systemdevelopedand operatedbythe
U.S. government, covering the entire globe.
This navigation system receives three or more
different radio signals from NAVSTAR (GPS
satellites), orbiting the earth 13,049 miles
(21,000 km) above ground. The data from different sets of signals will be trigonometrically
calculated to obtain the position of the vehicle.
2-2
INFO:
The tracking center in the US controls signals
transmitted from GPS satellites, and this control sometimes results in reduced accuracy or
no signal received at all.
ACCURACY OF POSITIONING
INV0255
The color of the GPS Indicator on the upper left corner of the screen indicates positioning as follows:
O Green: When positioning is possible and
accurate
O Yellow: When positioning is possible but
not accurate
O Gray: When positioning is not possible
HOW DOES THE INFINITI NAVIGATION SYSTEM WORK?
INFO:
For approximately 3 or 4 minutes after system
startup, the GPS indicator
even if accurate positioning is possible.
remains gray,
POSITIONING ADJUSTMENT
When the system judges that the vehicle position information is not accurate based on vehicle speed and gyrosensor data calculations,
the system will adjust the vehicle position information using GPS signals.
RECEIVING SIGNALS FROM
GPS SATELLITES
Sometimes,satellitereception isweak.Thefollowing are places where signals tend to be
weak:
O Insidetunnelsandparking lots in buildings
O Areas with numerous tall buildings
O Under multi-layered highways
O In a dense forest
Vehicles in these areas may not receive GPS
signals (Indicator color: gray).
INFO:
The antenna for GPS is located in the instru-
ment panel inside the vehicle. Do not place
any object, especially mobile phones or
transceivers, on the instrument panel.
Because the strength of the GPSsignalsis approximately one billionth of that of TV waves;
phones and transceivers will decrease the
strength or may totally disrupt the signals.
DISPLAY OF GPS INFORMATION
This system displays GPS information.
Please refer to “GPS information display” on
page 11-13.
NOTE:
The navigation system does not take
driving in carpool lanes into consideration for the guidance.

DETAILED MAP COVERAGE
AREAS (MCA) FOR THE
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This system is primarily designed to help you
reachyour destination,andalso performsother
functions as outlined in thismanual.However,
you,thedriver,mustusethesystemsafelyand
properly. Information concerning road conditions, traffic signs and the availability of services may not always be up-to-date. The system is not a substitutefor safe, proper, and legal driving.
Map data includes major metropolitan areas in
the United States.
Map data consists of map CD-ROM MCA1 to
MCA9. For information about map CD-ROMs,
contact an INFINITI retailer.
Map data includes 2 types of areas: “Map coverage areas” providing all detailed road data
and other areas showing main roads only.
2-4
The route calculation may not be made on the
border of themap coverage area and the other
areas.
When driving from one map coverage area
(MCA) into another: No map information is
displayed on the screen when the vehicle is
driven past the mapping border into the new
area. Only the vehicle position is displayedon
the screen. The screen will become gray indicating that you are outside the MCA covered
by the mapping CD. Replace the current map
CD with the new map CD that contains the information for the new area in which you are
driving.Map informationwillthen bedisplayed
on the screen for the new area.
NOTE:
Waypoints and destinations cannot be
set for positions outside of a map coverage area. Once the new map CD is installed, you will needto re-program the
waypoints and final destination.
