Startup Confirmation 
Screen
The Startup Confirmation screen is 
displayed when initialization has 
successfully completed. It is displayed every 
time you start your vehicle. Press  u to 
select  OK to continue.
Map Matching
Map matching is the process of using the 
acquired GPS information to locate your 
position on the map screen. If you are on a 
mapped road, the name of the road is 
displayed along the bottom of the map 
screen when map matching is completed. 
Do not enter a destination until the road 
name is displayed.
The system may initially show your location 
on a different street (e.g., in urban areas 
where streets are close together), may 
show an incorrect elevation, or may delay 
the display of the vehicle position icon at 
intersections. This is  normal; the system 
will correct itself while you drive.
