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 Indicatoron 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.
ROUTE GUIDANCEPOINT OF INTEREST (POI) DIRECTORYADDRESS 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 AREAAUTOMATIC REROUTEDETOUR
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.
