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. INV1761 ACCURACY OF POSITIONING 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 2-2 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. 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. DETAILED MAP COVERAGE AREAS (MCA) FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM 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. 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 HELPDESK at 1-888-6619995. 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. 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. 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 garages ¼ Areas with numerous tall buildings ¼ Under multi-layered highways ¼ In a dense forest Vehicles in these areas may not receive GPS signals (Indicator color: gray). How does the NISSAN Navigation System work? 2-3 WHEN A GRAY ROAD OR DARK GREEN ROAD IS DISPLAYED ON THE MAP ¼ 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. ¼ 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 4-20 for details. ¼ POI information and street names near gray roads may not be contained in the map data. 2-4 How does the NISSAN Navigation System work? 3 What features are available on the NISSAN Navigation System? 3-2 3-2 3-2 3-3 3-3 3-3 3-4 3-4 3-4 Route guidance ......................................................................

ROUTE GUIDANCE 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 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 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 REROUTE 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. 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. What features are available on the NISSAN Navigation System? 3-3 BIRDVIEWTM VOICE GUIDANCE SHORT MENUS INV1762 INV1763 INV1764 The NISSAN Navigation System gives you a choice of two map viewing styles, a normal 2-dimensional PLANVIEW map and the 3-dimensional BIRDVIEWTM map. The 3-D BIRDVIEWTM 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 BIRDVIEWTM 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: ¼ Enlarged display of intersections. ¼ 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.
