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.
INV1441
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 accurate
쐌 Yellow: positioning is possible but accuracy
is minimal.
쐌 Gray: positioning is not possible
2-2 How does the NISSAN 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 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 garages
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 instrument panel inside the vehicle. Do not place any
objects, especially mobile phones or transceivers, on the instrument panel. 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 signals.
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 a
NISSAN dealer or call the NISSAN NAVIGATIONSYSTEMHELPDESKat1-800NISSAN-1 (1-800-647-7261) for U.S., and at
1-800-777-0325 for CANADA.
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
NISSAN 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 after 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
4-24 for details.
The main feature of the NISSAN Navigation
System is Visual and Audio Route Guidance in
selected detailed map coverage areas. Utilizing
a network of GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites, the NISSAN 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 NISSAN 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.
POINT OF INTEREST (POI)
DIRECTORY
The NISSAN 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 NISSAN
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
NISSAN 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.
ADDRESS BOOK
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 NISSAN Navigation System?
AVOID AREAAUTOMATIC REROUTEDETOUR
By using the Avoid Area feature, you can identify
areas or freeways that you would like the
NISSAN 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 NISSAN 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 NISSAN 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 NISSAN 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.

VOICE GUIDANCESHORT MENUS
Route guidance is executed using voice and
screen instruction. When the vehicle approaches an intersection where you need to turn,
the voice guidance tells you the direction to take.
The system also has the following useful features:
쐌 Enlarged display of intersections.
쐌 Automatic rerouting when a vehicle is off the
course (when map is displayed).
For more information on the Voice Guidance
feature, please refer to section 10.
To make the NISSAN Navigation System easier
to use, there is a short menu function in which
the most commonly used items are listed. When
the indicator is illuminated, the short menus
(Easy Mode) are displayed. When the indicator
is turned off, the default navigation systems
menus (Expert Mode) are displayed.
