WHAT IS A NAVIGATION SYSTEM?
ABOUT THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This navigation system combines the data obtained from the vehicle (by gyro sensor) and from GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites to calculate the current location of the vehicle. This position is then dis­played on the screen, allowing route guid­ance to a destination.
WHAT IS GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)?
GPS is a system developed and operated by the 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.
INFO:
The tracking center in the U.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.
INV1191
ACCURACY OF POSITIONING
The color of the GPS Indicator on the upper left corner of the screen indicates positioning as follows:
Green: positioning is possible and ac-
curate
Yellow: positioning is possible but ac-
curacy is minimal
Gray: positioning is not possible
2-2 How does the INFINITI Navigation System work?
INFO:
For approximately 3 or 4 minutes after system startup, the GPS indicator mains gray, even if accurate positioning is possible.
re-
POSITIONING ADJUSTMENT
When the system judges that the vehicle position information is not accurate based on vehicle speed and gyro sensor data cal­culations, the system will adjust the ve­hicle position information using GPS sig­nals.
RECEIVING SIGNALS FROM GPS SATELLITES
Sometimes, satellite reception is weak. The following are places where signals tend to be weak:
Inside tunnels and parking lots in build-
ings
Areas with numerous tall buildings
Under multi-layered highways
In a dense forest
Vehicles in these areas may not receive GPS signals (Indicator color: gray).
INFO:
The antenna for GPS is located on the rear parcel shelf inside the vehicle. Do not place
any objects, especially mobile phones or transceivers, on the rear parcel shelf. Be-
cause 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 11-17.
NOTE:
Directional guidance provided by the navi­gation system does not take carpool lane driving into consideration, especially when carpool lanes are separated from other road lanes.

DETAILED MAP COVERAGE AREAS (MCA) FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This system is designed to help you reach your destination, and also performs other functions as outlined in this manual. How­ever, you, the driver, must use the system safely and properly. Information concern­ing road conditions, traffic signs and the availability of services may not always be up-to-date. The system is not a substitute for safe, proper, and legal driving.
Map data covers select metropolitan areas in the United States.
Map data is available on map DVD-ROM. For information about map DVD-ROMs, contact an INFINITI dealer or call the INFINITI NAVIGATION SYSTEM HELP DESK at 1-800-777-0325.
Map data includes 2 types of areas: “De­tailed coverage areas” providing all de­tailed road data and other areas showing “Main roads only”.
NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in many areas and is generally limited to select ma­jor metropolitan areas.
For information on which metropolitan ar­eas are in detailed coverage areas, please refer to the INFINITI Navigation System Software Booklet (included). When you
purchase an updated map DVD-ROM, a new software booklet will be provided.
WHEN A GRAY ROAD OR DARK GREEN ROAD IS DISPLAYED ON THE MAP
When you are driving on a gray road af-
ter the vehicle has deviated from the suggested route during route guidance, automatic rerouting may not start im­mediately.
The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for dark green roads. Therefore, if the destination is set on a dark green road, the enlarged map dis­play will return to the ordinary map screen at a point on a suggested road that is near the destination. Also, the voice guidance will stop at a point on a suggested road that is near the desti­nation. Refer to “About route guidance” on page 4-23 for details.
POI information and street names near
gray roads may not be contained in the map data.

ROUTE GUIDANCE POINT OF INTEREST (POI) DIRECTORY ADDRESS BOOK
The main feature of the INFINITI Navigation System is Visual and Audio Route Guid­ance in selected detailed map coverage ar­eas. Utilizing a network of GPS (Global Po­sitioning System) satellites, the INFINITI Navigation System tracks your location on the map and directs you where you want to go.
Once you program a destination covered by a detailed map, The INFINITI Navigation System will determine a route from your current location to your destination. The moving map display and turn-by-turn voice commands help the driver determine up­coming turns.
This feature can be especially helpful in finding unfamiliar locations or businesses. The system may be unable to set a desti­nation and/or calculate distance when a destination is outside a detailed map cov­erage area. Additionally, audio route guid­ance may not be available if the destina­tion is outside a detailed map coverage area. For more information on how to pro­gram a destination, please refer to section
5.
The INFINITI Navigation System offers an extensive Point of Interest directory in de­tailed map coverage areas. This directory includes a wide variety of destinations ranging from gas stations, ATMs, and res­taurants to casinos, ski resorts, shopping centers and businesses. By accessing the Point of Interest directory, you can search for addresses and phone numbers for a destination, and with a press of a button, the INFINITI Navigation System will calcu­late a route to the destination.
The Point of Interest directory offers many uses. For example, the directory can be sorted by the various types of restaurants near your current location. If you need an ATM or gas station, the INFINITI Navigation System can point you to the closest one or the closest one of your favorite brand.
For more information on how to use the Point of Interest directory, please refer to section 6.
Using the Address Book feature, you will have the ability to store up to 50 locations in detailed map coverage areas into a per­sonal directory. This is especially useful for frequently visited locations, such as your clients, relatives, or friends. The Ad­dress Book feature will provide you with easy access to frequently visited locations when setting them as your destination.
For more information on how to use your Address Book, please refer to section 7.
3-2 What features are available on the INFINITI Navigation System?
AVOID AREA AUTOMATIC REROUTE DETOUR
By using the Avoid Area feature, you can identify areas or freeways that you would like the INFINITI Navigation System to avoid when plotting routes. For example, if you know of a freeway or area that is al­ways congested with traffic, you can pro­gram the INFINITI Navigation System to plot routes that go around that particular freeway or area.
For more information on the Avoid Area feature, please refer to section 8.
If you miss a turn while using the Route Guidance feature, the INFINITI Navigation System will automatically recalculate a new route to your destination.
For more information on the Automatic Re­Route feature, please refer to section 9.
If you hear about a traffic accident on the radio that is 4 miles (6 km) ahead of you and traffic is backing up fast, you can use the Detour function to calculate an alter­native route that will help you avoid the gridlock caused by the traffic accident. The INFINITI Navigation System has the ability to find an alternative route using second­ary roads that will return you to primary roads after a specified number of miles.
For more information on the Detour fea­ture, please refer to section 9.
What features are available on the INFINITI Navigation System? 3-3
BIRDVIEW
The INFINITI Navigation System gives you a choice of two map viewing styles, a nor­mal 2-dimensional PLANVIEW map and the 3-dimensional BIRDVIEW BIRDVIEW area as seen from an elevated perspective, so you will get a better feel for the route ahead.
