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. 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. ACCURACY OF POSITIONING INV1441 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. 2-2 The color of the GPS Indicator on the upper left corner of the screen indicates positioning as follows: ¼ Green: Positioning is possible and accurate ¼ Yellow: Positioning is possible but accuracy is minimal. ¼ Gray: Positioning is not possible HOW DOES THE NISSAN NAVIGATION SYSTEM WORK? INFO: For approximately 3 or 4 minutes after system startup, the GPS indicator remains gray, even if accurate positioning is possible. Vehicles in these areas may not receive GPS signals (Indicator color: gray). INFO: The antenna for GPS is located in the instrument panel. 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. 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. 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: ¼ Inside tunnels and parking lots in structures ¼ Areas with numerous tall buildings ¼ Under multi-layered highways ¼ In a dense forest DISPLAY OF GPS INFORMATION This system displays GPS information. Please refer to "GPS information display" on page 11-13. 2-3 HOW DOES THE NISSAN NAVIGATION SYSTEM WORK? 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.
