Reference Information
System Limitations
GPS System
The signals received from the GPS satellites
are extremely weak (less than a millionth of
the strength of a local FM station) and
require an unobstructed view of the sky.
The GPS antenna is located in the
dashboard. The signal reception can easily
be interrupted or interfered with by the
following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side windows
• Mobile phones, PDAs, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle or lying loose
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devices mounted near the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildin gs, freeway/highway
overpasses, tunnels, or overhead
electrical power wires
The GPS is operated by the U.S. Department
of Defense. For security reasons, there are
certain inaccuracies bu ilt into the GPS for
which the navigation system must
constantly compensate. This can cause occasional positioning errors of up to
several hundred feet or tens of meters.
Address Calculation
The destination icon shows only the
approximate location of a destination
address. This occurs if the number of
possible addresses is different from the
number of actual addr
esses on a block. For
example, the address 1425 on a 1400 block
with 100 possible addresses (because it is
followed by the 1500 block) will be shown a
quarter of the way down the block by the
system. If there are only 25 actual addresses
on the block, the actual location of address
1425 would be at the end of the block.
Database
The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various points
in time before production. Accordingly,
your database may contain inaccurate or
incomplete data or information due to the
passage of time, road construction,
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may
be missing when you search the database
because the name was misspelled, the place
was improperly categorized, or a place/
landmark is not yet in the database. This is
also true for police stations, hospitals, and
other public institutions. Do not rely on the
navigation system if you need law
enforcement or hospital services. Always
check with local information sources.
In addition, the map database contains
verified and unverified areas. Unverified
streets may be missing from the map, in the
wrong location, or have an incorrect name
or address range. A message will warn you
if your route includes unverified streets.
Exercise additional caution when driving in
unverified areas.
