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:

쐌 Green: positioning is possible and ac-

curate

쐌 Yellow: positioning is possible but ac-

curacy is minimal

쐌 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:

쐌 Inside tunnels and parking lots in build-

ings

쐌 Areas with numerous tall buildings

쐌 Under multi-layered highways

쐌 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

쐌 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.

쐌 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.

쐌 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

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

ABOUT ROUTE GUIDANCE

쐌 The INFINITI Navigation System may not

calculate a route if the current vehicle location is too far away from the destination. In this case, please divide your trip by selecting one or two intermediate destinations.

NOTE:

There may be cases that carpool lanes are included on a suggested road when the automatic rerouting function is activated and even if the “Use Time Restricted Roads” is turned off. Refer to “Setting the priorities for route calculation” on page 5-35 for details.

쐌 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, and the distance and direction to the end point of the suggested road will be displayed on upper right corner of the screen. Also, at this time, the voice will say, “En route to your destination, some roads contain incomplete map data. Turn guidance will not be provided in this area.”

쐌 Because of the inevitable difference in

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. In such cases, follow the actual information available.

쐌 During route calculation, the map will

not scroll, however the vehicle icon will move with the actual vehicle’s movement.

INV2311

When approaching the end point of the suggested road, the voice will say, “Entering the road with incomplete map data. Please use the direction arrow and distance information to proceed to your destination.” To reach your destination, refer to the map screen, always follow actual roads and regulations and drive safely.

NOTES ON ROUTE GUIDANCE

쐌 The route selected by the system may

not be the shortest, nor are other circumstances such as traffic jams considered.

쐌 During route calculation, buttons such

as MAP , DEST , ZOOM OUT and

ZOOM IN and the joystick will be dis-

abled.

쐌 In some cases, after the calculation is

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

쐌 Waypoints that have been passed will

not be covered by the rerouting calculation.

쐌 If you scroll the map while the sug-

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

쐌 If waypoints are set, the system is cal-

culating multiple routes between way-

4-24 How do I operate the INFINITI Navigation System?

points simultaneously, and the following may result.

— If one section (or more) of the routes

between 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.

쐌 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 on the screen. Try setting the location closer to the main road.

— If the vehicle is too close to the desti-

nation or if there are no branches of the roads to the destination. A message saying so will appear on the screen.

— If it is deemed impossible to reach the

destination or waypoints because of traffic regulations, etc.

— If the only route to reach the destina-

tion or waypoints is extremely complicated.

— If the destination, current vehicle posi-

tion or waypoint is within the “avoid area”.

— If the setting of “avoid areas” covers

the routes to the destination, route calculation may not be possible.

쐌 The following may occur when the route

is being displayed.

— If you are requesting a calculation from

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

— If you are requesting a calculation to a

destination on the main road, the end of the route may not exactly match the destination.

— If you are requesting a calculation from

the main road, the system may show a route from another main road. This may be because the icon to show the current vehicle position (vehicle icon) is not set accurately. In that case, park

the car in a safe place and reset the vehicle icon, or continue driving to see if the vehicle icon appears on the main road before requesting route calculation again.

— There are cases in which the system

shows a detoured route to reach the destination or waypoints, if you set them from memory or facility information. In order to correct 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 be-

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

— Even if the freeway preference is set to

OFF, the route may be set on them. To avoid this, set a waypoint on another road type and request calculation.

— Even if the preference is set to OFF for

a ferry line, the route may be set on it. To avoid this, set a waypoint on a road and request calculation.

— Ferry lines, except those which accept

How do I operate the INFINITI Navigation System? 4-25

only pedestrians, bicycles and motorcycles, are stored in this system. When using them, take into consideration the travel time required and operational condition to decide whether to use them or not.

ABOUT THE DISPLAY ERROR

The following cases may affect the display accuracy of the vehicle’s position or travel direction. The accuracy will return to normal if the driving conditions return to normal.

— When there is a similar road nearby.

— When the vehicle is traveling on a long

stretch of straight road or series of curves with a large radius.

— When the vehicle is traveling in an area

with a grid road system.

— When the vehicle is making consecutive

S curves.

— When the vehicle is at a large Y-shaped

junction.

— When the vehicle is on a loop bridge.

— When the vehicle is on a snow-covered

or unpaved road.

— When the vehicle has made several

consecutive turns or traveled zigzag.

— When the vehicle is rotated on a park-

ing lot turntable while the ignition switch is OFF.

— Immediately after the vehicle is driven

out of a parking garage or underground parking lot.

— When the vehicle has different sizes of

tires or tire chains.

— When the vehicle is moved immediately

after the engine is started.

VOICE-ACTIVATED CONTROL SYSTEM (VACS) (if so equipped)

The VACS (Voice-Activated Control System) provides a safe and convenient way of controlling vehicle systems such as the phone, audio, climate control and navigation system. The system is controlled by

the PTT (Push to talk) button. Voice commands are picked up by a microphone. When giving a command, voice feedback will be heard through the speaker, and messages will be shown on the display. Voice feedback can be turned off if necessary. Personal directories of nametags for phone dialing and radio station presets can be created, and spoken command help is provided.

For details, please refer to the vehicle Owner’s Manual.

USING THE SYSTEM

Initialization

When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the initialization of the system is carried out, which takes a few seconds. When complete, the system is ready to accept voice commands. If the button is pressed before initialization is complete, the message center display will show “VOICE NOT READY”.

Operating tips

To get the best results from the system, observe the following:

쐌 Close the window before operating the

voice-activated control system (VACS). The voice-activated control system may not be able to recognize voice commands due to surrounding noises (travel noise and vibration). Be sure to operate the system when the vehicle interior is quiet. While the PTT button is pushed with the automatic climate control system fan speed on level 4 or 5, the fan speed is lowered down to level

쐌 After pressing the PTT button, always

wait for the beep before speaking.

쐌 Speak in a natural voice without paus-

ing between words.
