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:
The tracking center in the US controls signals

transmitted from GPS satellites. 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:
Directional guidance provided by the

navigationsystemdoesnot 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

Thissystemis designed to helpyoureachyour
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,
trafficsignsand the availabilityofservicesmay
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 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

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in

many areas and is generally limited to
select major metropolitan areas.

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.

WHAT FEATURES ARE AVAILABLE ON THE INFINITI NAVIGATION SYSTEM?

ROUTE GUIDANCE

The main feature of the Infiniti Navigation Sys­tem is Visual and Audio Route Guidance in se­lected detailed map coverageareas. Utilizing a
network of GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites, the Infiniti Navigation System tracks
yourlocationon themapand directsyouwhere
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 helps
the driver determine upcoming turns.

Thisfeaturecan be especiallyhelpfulinfinding
unfamiliarlocationsor businesses. Thesystem
may be unable to set a destination and/orcal­culate distance when a destination is outside
adetailedmapcoveragearea. Additionally, au­dio route guidance may not be available if the
destination is outside adetailed map coverage

area. For more information on howtoprogram
a destination, please refer to section 5.

POINT OF INTEREST (POI)
DIRECTORY

The Infiniti Navigation Systemoffers an exten­sive Point of Interest directory in detailed map
coverage areas. Thisdirectory includes a wide
variety of destinations ranging from gas sta­tions,ATMs,and restaurantstocasinos, skire­sorts,shopping centersandbusinesses. Byac­cessing the Point of Interestdirectory,you can
search for addresses and phone numbers for
a destination, and witha press of abutton, the
InfinitiNavigationSystemwillcalculate a route
to the destination.

The Point of Interest directory offers many
uses. For example, the directory can besorted
by the various types of restaurants near your
currentlocation. Ifyouneed anATMor gassta­tion, the Infiniti Navigation System can point

youto theclosestone ortheclosestoneof your
favorite brand.

For more information on how to use the Point
of Interest directory, please refer to section 6.

ADDRESS BOOK

Using the Address Book feature, you will have
theabilityto storeupto 50 locationsintoa per­sonaldirectoryin detailed map coverageareas.
This is especially useful for frequently visited
locations, such as your clients, relatives, or

ting routes. For example, if you know of a free­way or areathat 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.

AUTOMATIC RE-ROUTE

If you miss aturn while using theRoute Guid­ancefeature,theInfinitiNavigation System will
automatically re-calculate a new route to your
destination.

The navigation system does not take

driving in “CARPOOL LANES” into con­sideration for the guidance.

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 from CD, there
may be discrepancies in roads and regula­tions. In such cases, follow the actual 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 , ZM− and ZM+ and

the joystick will be disabled.

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,andthe followingmayresult.

—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.
