WHAT IS A NAVIGATION SYSTEM? WHAT IS GPS (Global Positioning
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.
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 are 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. Consequently, areas suchas
military bases may not accurately appear on the
navigation screen.
2-2 How does the Nissan navigation system work?
INV1191
ACCURACY OF POSITIONING
The color of the GPS Indicator on the upper
left corner of the screen indicates positioning as
follows:
● Green: positioning is possible and accurate
● Yellow: positioning is possible but accuracy is
minimal
● Gray: positioning is not possible
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:
● Inside tunnels and parking lots in buildings
● Areas with numerous tall buildings
● Under multi-layered highways
● In a dense forest
● Near military bases and certain government
facilities
Vehicles in these areas may not receive GPS
signals (Indicator color: gray).
INFO:
The antenna for GPS is located behind the in-
strument panel inside the vehicle. Do not place
any objects, especially mobile phones or
transceivers, on the instrument panel. Be-
cause the strength of the GPS signals are 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.

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 Navigation
System help desk at 1-800-661–9995.
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
● 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.
● 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 page4-26 for
details.
● POI information and street names near gray
roads may not be contained in the map data.

ROUTE GUIDANCE POINT OF INTEREST (POI) DIREC-
TORY
ADDRESS BOOK
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.
The NISSAN Navigation System offers an extensive Point of Interest (POI) directory in detailed
map coverage areas 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.
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 AREA AUTOMATIC REROUTE DETOUR
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.

Birdview™ VOICE GUIDANCE SHORT MENUS
INV1192 INV1193 INV1764
The NISSAN Navigation System gives you a
choice of two map viewing styles, a normal
2-dimensional Plan View map and the
3-dimensional Birdview™ map. The 3-D
Birdview™ map depicts a geographic area as
seen from an elevated perspective, so you will
get a better feel for the route ahead.
For more information on the Birdview™ feature,
please refer to section 11.
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:
● Enlarged display of intersections.
● 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
