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 globe.
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:

쐌 Green: When positioning is possible and

accurate

쐌 Yellow: When positioning is possible but

not accurate

쐌 Gray: When positioning is not possible

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 lots in buildings

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 in the instru­ment panel inside the vehicle. Do not place

any object, especially mobile phones or
transceivers, on the instrument panel.

Because the strength of the GPS signals 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 11-12.

NOTE:

The navigation system does not take
driving in carpool lanes into consider­ation for the guidance.

DETAILED MAP COVERAGE
AREAS (MCA) FOR THE
NAVIGATION SYSTEM

This system is primarily 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 includes major metropolitan areas in
the United States.

Map data consists of map CD-ROM MCA1 to
MCA9. For information about map CD-ROMs,
contact a NISSAN dealer.

Map data includes 2 types of areas: “Detailed
coverage areas” providing all detailed road
data and other areas showing main roads only.

2-4

The route calculation may not be made on the
border of the map 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 icon is dis­played on 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 information will then be
displayed 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 need to reprogram the
waypoints and final destination.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM?

WHAT FEATURES ARE AVAILABLE ON THE NISSAN NAVIGATION SYSTEM?

ROUTE GUIDANCE

The main feature of the Nissan Navigation Sys­tem is Visual and Audio Route Guidance. 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, 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 helps 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

3-2

a destination, please refer to section 5.

POINT OF INTEREST (POI)
DIRECTORY

The Nissan Navigation System offers an exten­sive Point of Interest directory for your conve­nience. 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 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
these frequently visited locations when setting
them as your destination.

For more information on how to use your ad­dress book, please refer to section 7.

AVOID AREA

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

WHAT FEATURES ARE AVAILABLE ON THE NISSAN NAVIGATION SYSTEM?

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 a turn while using the Route Guid­ance feature, the Nissan Navigation System will
automatically re-calculate a new route to your
destination.

For more information on the Automatic Re­Route feature, please refer to section 9.

DETOUR

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.

ABOUT ROUTE GUIDANCE

NOTE:

The navigation system does not take
driving in “CAR POOL LANES” into con­sideration for the guidance.

4-13

HOW DO I OPERATE THE NISSAN NAVIGATION SYSTEM?

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 Because of the inevitable difference in road

conditions and circumstances between the
time you use this system and the time the
information was produced from the CD,
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.

쐌 During route calculation, buttons such as

MAP , DEST , ZM− and ZM+ and

the joystick will be disabled.

쐌 In some cases, after the calculation is com-

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

4-14

쐌 Waypoints that have been passed will not

be covered by the re-routing calculation.

쐌 If you scroll the map while the suggested

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

쐌 If waypoints are set, the system is calculat-

ing multiple routes between waypoints si­multaneously, and the following may result.

— 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.

쐌 Route calculation may not be completed in

the following cases.

— If there is no main road within 3.1 miles (5

km) from the vehicle, a message saying so
will appear on the screen. T ry requesting

route calculation when the vehicle is closer
to the main road.

— If there is no main road within 3.1 miles (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 destination

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 des-

tination or waypoints because of traffic
regulations, etc.

— If there is only an extremely complicated

route to reach the destination or waypoints.

— If the destination, current vehicle position

or waypoint is within the

covers the

HOW DO I OPERATE THE NISSAN NAVIGATION SYSTEM?

may not be possible.

쐌 The following may occur when the route is

being displayed.

— Even if you are requesting calculation from

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

— Even if you are requesting calculation to the

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

— Even if you are requesting 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 between

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 as 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 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 checkerboard road system.

— When the vehicle is making consecutive S

curves.

— When the vehicle is at a large Y -shaped

junction.

4-15

HOW DO I OPERATE THE NISSAN NAVIGATION SYSTEM?

— 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 con-

secutive turns or traveled zigzag.

— When the vehicle is rotated on a parking 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 af-

ter the engine is started.
