System DescriptionAKS007IQ
The navigation system periodically calculates the vehicle's current
position according to the following three signals: Travel distance of
the vehicle as determined by the vehicle speed sensor, turning angle
of the vehicle as determined by the gyroscope (angular velocity sen-
sor), and the direction of vehicle travel as determined by the GPS
antenna (GPS information).
The current position of the vehicle is then identified by comparing the
calculated vehicle position with map data read from the map DVD-
ROM, which is stored in the DVD-ROM drive (map-matching), and
indicated on the screen with a current-location mark.
By comparing the vehicle position detection results found by the
GPS and by map-matching, more accurate vehicle position data can
be used.
The current vehicle position will be calculated by detecting the dis-
tance the vehicle moved from the previous calculation point and its
direction.
TRAVEL DISTANCE
Travel distance calculations are based on the vehicle speed sensor input signal. Therefore, the calculation
may become incorrect as the tires wear down. To prevent this, an automatic distance fine adjustment function
has been adopted.
TRAVEL DIRECTION
Change in the travel direction of the vehicle is calculated by a gyroscope (angular velocity sensor) and a GPS
antenna (GPS information). As the gyroscope and GPS antenna have both merit and demerit, input signals
from them are prioritized in each situation. However, this order of priority may change in accordance with more
detailed travel conditions so that the travel direction is detected more accurately.
MAP-MATCHING
Map-matching is a function that repositions the vehicle on the road
map when a new location is judged to be the most accurate. This is
done by comparing the current vehicle position, calculated by the
method described in the position detection principle, with the road
map data around the vehicle, read from the map DVD-ROM stored in
the DVD-ROM drive.
Therefore, the vehicle position may not be corrected after the vehicle
is driven over a certain distance or time in which GPS information is
hard to receive. In this case, the current location mark on the display
must be corrected manually.
CAUTION:
The road map data is based on data stored in the map DVD-
ROM.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
NAVI Control Unit

The gyro (angular speed sensor) and the DVD-ROM drive are
built-in units that control the navigation functions.

Signals are received from the gyro, the vehicle speed sensor,
and the GPS antenna. Vehicle location is determined by com-
bining this data with the data contained in the DVD-ROM map.
Locational information is shown on LCD panel.
DVD-ROM Drive
Maps, traffic control regulations, and other pertinent information can
be easily read from the DVD-ROM disc.
Map DVD-ROM

The map DVD-ROM has maps, traffic control regulations, and other pertinent information.

To improve DVD-ROM map matching and route determination functions, the DVD-ROM uses an exclusive
Nissan format. Therefore, the use of a DVD-ROM provided by other manufacturers cannot be used.
Gyro (Angular Speed Sensor)

The oscillator gyro sensor is used to detect changes in vehicle steering angle.

The gyro is built into the navigation (NAVI) control unit.
BIRDVIEW™
The BIRDVIEW™ provides a detailed and easily seen display of road conditions covering the vehicle's imme-
diate to distant area.

DIAGNOSIS BY HISTORY OF ERRORS
The “Self-diagnosis” results indicate whether an error occurred during the period from when the ignition switch
is turned to ON until “Self-diagnosis” is completed.
If an error occurred before the ignition switch was turned to ON and does not occur again until the “Self-diag-
nosis” is completed, the diagnosis result will be judged normal. Therefore, those errors in the past, which can-
not be found by the “Self-diagnosis”, must be found by diagnosing the “History of Errors”.
The History of Errors displays the time and place of the most recent occurrence of that error. However, take
note of the following points.

Correct time of the error occurrence may not be displayed when the GPS antenna substrate within the
NAVI control unit has malfunctioned.

Place of the error occurrence is represented by the position of the current-location mark at the time when
the error occurred. If the current-location mark has deviated from the correct position, then the place of
the error occurrence max be located correctly.

The maximum number of occurrences which can be stored is 50. For the 51st and later occurrences, the
displayed number remains 50.
When a reproducible malfunction occurred but its cause cannot be identified because several errors are
present, record the item, number and place (longitude/latitude) of error occurrence (or delete the History of
Errors), then turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON to reproduce the malfunction. Check the History of Errors
to find the items which show an increased number of occurrences, and diagnose the item.

1. Scroll the map screen to display the area to make correction. Press “ENTER” and select “CURRENT LOCATION CORRECTION”.
2. Correct direction of the vehicle mark.
3. Perform the distance correction of the CONFIRMATION/ADJUSTMENT mode. Note: Normally, adjustment is not necessary because this system has automatic distance correction func-
tion. However, when a tire chain is fitted, adjustment in accordance with the tire diameter ratio must be
made.
4. Are symptoms malfunctioning to the AV- 1 7 1 , "
Example of Symptoms Judged Not Malfunction" present
after driving the vehicle?
YES or NO
YES >> Limit of the location detection capacity of the navigation system.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2. DRIVING TEST 2
Did any malfunction occur when the proper test in the following test patterns is performed?

Test pattern
Driving test finds the difference between the symptoms monitored with and without each sensor.
–Test pattern 1: Test method with no GPS location correction
Disconnect GPS antenna connector (GT5) connected to the NAVI control unit. Accurately adjust the cur-
rent location and the direction, and then drive the vehicle.
–Test pattern 2: Test method with no map-matching
Accurately adjust the current location and the direction. Eject the map DVD-ROM from the NAVI control
unit with ignition switch turned to OFF, and then drive the vehicle. After driving, insert the map DVD-ROM
back in the unit, display the track of the vehicle on the map screen and compare it with the actual road
configuration.

Sample tests
–<To determine if the current-location mark skips at the same position, if so, whether it is caused by map-
matching or by GPS>
Perform test pattern 1.
–<To determine if the pattern of streets displayed is correct or not>;
Perform test pattern 1 and 2.
Compare the track of the vehicle on the map screen and the actual road configuration. For fairly accurate
tracking, plotting shall be made every several hundred meters.
–<When the distance is adjusted accurately>;
Perform test pattern 1 and 2.
Drive on a road of which distance is accurately known (by utilizing distance posts on a highway). Calculate
the rate of change (increased/decreased) of the distance by comparing with the actual distance.
Correction = A/B
A: Distance shown on the screen
B: Actual distance
YES or NO

Cause (condition) –: While driving ooo: Display Driving condition Remarks (correction, etc.)
Road config-
uration Y–intersections
At a Y intersection or similar gradual divi-
sion of roads, error the direction of travel
deduced by the sensor may result in the
current-location mark appearing on the
wrong road.
If after traveling about 10 km (6
miles) the correct location has
not been restored, perform
location correction and, if nec-
essary, direction correction.
Spiral roads
When driving on a large, continuous spiral
road (such as loop bridge), turning angle
error is accumulated and the vehicle mark
may deviate from the correct location.
Straight roads When driving on a long, straight road and
slow curve without stopping, map-match-
ing does not work effectively enough and
distance errors may accumulate. As a
result, the vehicle mark may deviate from
the correct location when the vehicle
turned at a corner.
Zigzag roads When driving on a zigzag road, the map
may be matched to other roads in the simi-
lar direction nearby at every turn, and the
vehicle mark may deviate from the correct
location.
Roads laid out in a grid pattern When driving at where roads are laid out in
a grid pattern, where many roads are run-
ning in the similar direction nearby, the
map may be matched to them by mistake
and the vehicle mark may deviate from the
correct location.
Parallel roads When two roads are running in parallel
(such as highway and sideway), the map
may be matched to the other road by mis-
take and the vehicle mark may deviate
from the correct location.

Place In a parking lot When driving in a parking lot, or other loca-
tion where there are no roads on the map,
matching may place the vehicle mark on a
nearby road. When the vehicle returns to
the road, the vehicle mark may have devi-
ated from the correct location.
When driving in circle or turning the steer-
ing wheel repeatedly, direction errors accu-
mulate, and the vehicle mark may deviate
from the correct location.
If after traveling about 10km
(6miles) the correct location
has not been restored, perform
location correction and, if nec-
essary, direction correction.
Turn ta ble
When the ignition switch is OFF, the navi-
gation system cannot get the signal from
the gyroscope (angular speed sensor).
Therefore, the displayed direction may be
wrong and the correct road may not be
easily returned to after rotating the vehicle
on a turn table with the ignition OFF.
Slippery roads On snow, wet roads, gravel, or other roads where tires may slip easily, accumulated
mileage errors may cause the vehicle mark
to deviate from the correct road.
Slopes When parking in sloped garages, when traveling on banked roads, or in other
cases where the vehicle turns when tilted,
an error in the turning angle will occur, and
the vehicle mark may deviate from the
road.
Map data Road not displayed on the map screen
When driving on new roads or other roads
not displayed on the map screen, map
matching does not function correctly and
matches the location to a nearby road.
When the vehicle returns to a road which is
on the map, the vehicle mark may deviate
from the correct road.
Different road pattern
(Changed due to repair) If the road pattern stored in the map data
and the actual road pattern are different,
map matching does not function correctly
and matches the location to a nearby road.
The vehicle mark may deviate from the
correct road.
Vehicle Use of tire chains When tire chains are used, the mileage is
not correctly detected, and the vehicle
mark may deviate from the correct road. Drive the vehicle for a while. If
the distance is still deviated,
adjust it by using the distance
adjustment function. (If the tire
chain is removed, recover the
original value.)

CURRENT LOCATION MARK SHOWS A POSITION WHICH IS COMPLETELY WRONG
In the following cases, the current-location mark may appear on completely different position in the map
depending on the GPS satellite signal receiving conditions. In this case, perform location correction and direc-
tion correction.

When location correction has not been done
–If the receiving conditions of the GPS satellite signal is poor, if the current-location mark becomes out of
place, it may move to a completely different location and not come back if location correction is not done.
The position will be corrected if the GPS signal can be received.

When the vehicle has traveled by ferry, or when the vehicle has been being towed
–Because calculation of the current location cannot be done when traveling with the ignition OFF, for exam-
ple when traveling by ferry or when being towed, the location before travel is displayed. If the precise loca-
tion can be detected with GPS, the location will be corrected.
CURRENT-LOCATION MARK JUMPS
In the following cases, the current-location mark may appear to jump as a result of automatic correction of the
current location.

When map matching has been done
–If the current location and the current-location mark are different when map matching is done, the current-
location mark may seem to jump. At this time, the location may be “corrected” to the wrong road or to a
location which is not on a road.

When GPS location correction has been done
–If the current location and the current-location mark are different when the location is corrected using GPS
measurements, the current-location mark may seem to jump. At this time, the location may be “corrected”
to a location which is not on a road.
Precautions
for driving Just after the engine is started
If the vehicle is driven off just after the
engine is started when the gyroscope
(angular speed sensor) correction is not
completed, the vehicle can lose its direc-
tion and may have deviated from the cor-
rect location. Wait for a short while before
driving after starting the engine.
Continuous driving without stopping When driving long distances without stop- ping, direction errors may accumulate, and
the current-location mark may deviate from
the correct road. Stop and adjust the orientation.
Abusive driving Spinning the wheels or engaging in other kinds of abusive driving may result in the
system being unable perform correct
detection, and may cause the vehicle mark
to deviate from the correct road. If after traveling about 10 km (6
miles) the correct location has
not been restored, perform
location correction and, if nec-
essary, direction correction.
How to cor-
rect location Position correction accuracy
If the accuracy of location settings is poor,
accuracy may be reduced when the correct
road cannot be found, particularly in places
where there are many roads. Enter in the road displayed on
the screen with an accuracy of
approx. 1mm.
Caution: Whenever possible,
use detailed map for the cor-
rection.
Direction when location is corrected
If the accuracy of location settings during
correction is poor, accuracy may be
reduced afterwards. Perform direction correction.

CURRENT LOCATION MARK IS IN A RIVER OR SEA
The navigation system moves the current-location mark with no distinction between land and rivers or sea. If
the location mark is somehow out of place, it may appear that the vehicle is driving in a river or the sea.
WHEN DRIVING ON SAME ROAD, SOMETIMES CURRENT-LOCATION MARK IS IN RIGHT
PLACE AND SOMETIMES IT IS WRONG PLACE
The conditions of the GPS antenna (GPS data) and gyroscope (angular speed sensor) change gradually.
Depending on the road traveled and the operation of the steering wheel, the location detection results will be
different. Therefore, even on a road on which the location has never been wrong, conditions may cause the
vehicle mark to deviate.
LOCATION CORRECTION BY MAP-MATCHING IS SLOW

The map matching function needs to refer to the data of the surrounding area. It is necessary to drive
some distance for the function to work.

Because map matching operates on this principle, when there are many roads running in similar direc-
tions in the surrounding area, no matching determination may be made. The location may not be cor-
rected until some special feature is found.
ALTHOUGH GPS RECEIVING DISPLAY IS GREEN, VEHICLE MARK DOES NOT RETURN TO
CORRECT LOCATION

The GPS accuracy has an error of approximately 10 m (30 ft). In some cases the current-location mark
may not be on the correct street, even when GPS location-correction is done.

The navigation system compares the results of GPS location detection with the results from map-match-
ing location detection. The one which is determined to have higher accuracy is used.

GPS location correction may not be performed when the vehicle is stopped.
NAME OF CURRENT PLACE IS NOT DISPLAYED
The current place name may not be displayed if there are no place names displayed on the map screen.
CONTENTS OF DISPLAY DIFFER FOR BIRDVIEW™ AND THE (FLAT) MAP SCREEN
Difference of the BIRDVIEW™ screen from the Flat Map Screen are as Follows.

The current place name displays names which are primarily in the direction of vehicle travel.

The amount of time before the vehicle travel or turn angle is updated on the screen is longer than for the
(flat) map display.

The conditions for display of place names, roads, and other data are different for nearby areas and for
more distant areas.

Some thinning of the character data is done to prevent the display becoming to complex. In some cases
and in some locations, the display contents may differ.

The same place name, street name, etc. may be displayed multiple times.
