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 planet.
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:
ThetrackingcenterintheU.S.controls signals

transmitted from GPS satellites. This control
sometimes results in reduced accuracy or no
signal received at all, in accordance with gov­ernment requirements.

ACCURACY OF POSITIONING

INV1191

The color of the GPS Indicator on the up­per left corner of the screen indicates position­ing as follows:

O Green:positioningispossibleandaccurate
O Yellow: positioning is possible but accu-

racy is minimal

O Gray: 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:
TheantennaforGPS is located on the rearpar-

celshelfinsidethevehicle. Do not place any

objects, especially mobile phones or
transceivers, on the rear parcel shelf.

Because the strength of the GPS signal is ap­proximately one billionth of that of TV waves;
phones and transceivers will decrease the
strength or may totally disrupt the signal.

DISPLAY OF GPS INFORMA­TION

This system displays GPS information.
Please refer to “GPS information display” on

page 11-13.

NOTE:
Directional guidance provided by the

navigationsystemdoesnot take carpool
lane driving into consideration, espe­cially when carpool lanes are separated
from other road lanes.

NOTES ON ROUTE GUIDANCE

O The route selected by the system may not

betheshortest, norareother circumstances
such as traffic jams considered.

O Because of the inevitable differencein road

conditions and circumstances between the
time you use this system and the time the
information was produced for the DVD,
there may be discrepancies in roads and
regulations.Insuch cases, followtheactual
information available.

O During route calculation, the map will not

scroll, however the vehicle icon will move
with the actual vehicle’s movement.

O During route calculation, buttons such as

MAP , DEST , ZOOM OUT and
ZOOM IN and the joystick will be dis-

abled.

O Insomecases,afterthecalculationiscom-

plete, it may take some time to get the cal­culated route on the display.

O Waypoints that have been passed will not

be covered by the re-routing calculation.

O If you scroll the map while the suggested

route is being drawn, it may take more time
to finish drawing.

O If waypoints are set, thesystem is calculat-

ing multiple routes between waypoints si­multaneously, andthefollowingmayresult.

—If one section (or more) of the routes be-

tween the waypoints is not found, none of
the route will be displayed.

—The route may not connect completely at

some waypoints.

—The route may require a U-turn close to

some waypoints.

O Route calculation may not be completed in

the following cases.

—If there is no main road within a range of

1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the vehicle, a mes­sage saying so will appear on the screen.

Try requesting route calculation when the
vehicle is closer to the main road.

—If there is no main road within a range of

1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the destination or
waypoint, a message saying so will appear

main road, the origin of the route may not
exactly match the current vehicle position.

—Ifyouare requesting a calculation to a des-

tination on the main road, the end of the
routemay notexactlymatchthedestination.

—If you are requestinga calculation from the

Inthatcase,parkthecarinasafeplace and
reset the vehicle icon, or continue driving
to see if the vehicle icon appears on the
main road before requesting route calcula­tion again.

—Thereare cases in which the system shows

a detoured route to reach the destinationor

waypoints, if you set themfrom memory or
facility information. In order tocorrect this,
you will have to be careful about the traffic
direction, especially when the lanes with
different travel directions are shown sepa­rately. Such places are interchanges and
service areas.

—This system makes no distinction between

limited traffic control and total control
(blockage). It may show a detoured route
even if the road is usable.
