About the GPS status indication

The GPS status can be checked by the color of the current position icon. If the current position is not displayed, touch VOICE/POS. to show the icon.

Current position icon

Indication Status

Signals are insufficient for navigation.

Reception temporarily interrupted (e.g., in a tunnel). In the case of NV-U94T, the built-in sensor (POSITION plus) calculates the current position instead.

Signals are sufficient for navigation.

Note

Acquisition of GPS signal may take up to 10 minutes, especially for the first time. Make sure that you are in an open space for faster acquisition.

Tip

If GPS signal reception is poor after turning on the unit, the information bar appears at the top of the display. You can also check the GPS status by the message on the information bar. By touching the information bar, you can jump to the display where you can view detailed GPS status information (page 14).

Route searching

You can search for a route in various ways. The following route search methods are available.

• “Address search” (page 15)

• “Home search” (page 17)

• “POI search” (page 17)

• “Intersection search” (page 19)

• “City center search” (page 20)

• “Quick Link search” (page 20)

• “Recent destinations search” (page 21)

• “Address book search” (page 22)

• “Favorites search” (page 22)

Address search

Address search allows you to set the destination by entering the address information such as house number, street name, etc.

Note on the state selection

The system recognizes the state you usually drive in and sets it as default, so that you do not need to enter the same state name at each address search. When GPS detects that the current position is not in the default state, the state selection display automatically appears, allowing you to set the desired state.
