Map-Matching
Map-matching compares a current location detected by the method
in the “Location Detection Principle” with a road map data from DVD-
ROM stored in DVD-ROM drive.
NOTE:
The road map data is based on data stored in the DVD-ROM.
The vehicle position may not be corrected under the following circumstances and after driving for a certain
time when GPS information is difficult to receive. In this case, the current-location mark on the display must be
corrected manually.

In map-matching, alternative routes are prepared and prioritized
in addition to the road judged currently driven. Due to the dis-
tance and/or direction error, the incorrect road may be prioritized
and current-location mark may be repositioned to the wrong
road.
When two roads are running in parallel, they are judged to the
same priority. Therefore, the current-location mark may appear
on either of them alternately, depending on maneuvering of the
steering wheel and configuration of the road.

Map-matching does not function correctly when a road on which
the vehicle is driving is new and not recorded in the DVD-ROM,
or when road pattern stored in the map data and the actual road
pattern are different due to repair.
When driving on a road not present in the map, the map-match-
ing function may find another road and position the current-loca-
tion mark on it. Then, when the correct road is detected, the
current-location mark may change to it.

Effective range for comparing the vehicle position and travel
direction calculated by the distance and direction with the road
data read from the DVD-ROM is limited. Therefore, when there
is an excessive gap between current vehicle position and the
position on the map, correction by map-matching is not possible.

GPS (Global Positioning System)
GPS (Global Positioning System) was developed for and is con-
trolled by the US Department of Defense. The system utilizes GPS
satellites (NAVSTAR), sending out radio waves while flying on an
orbit around the earth at an altitude of approximately 21,000 km
(13,100 miles).
The GPS receiver calculates the vehicle's position in three dimen-
sions (latitude/longitude/altitude) according to the time lag of the
radio waves received from four or more GPS satellites (three-dimen-
sional positioning). If radio waves were received only from three
GPS satellites, the GPS receiver calculates the vehicle's position in
two dimensions (latitude/longitude), and utilize the altitude data cal-
culated previously with radio waves from four or more GPS satellites
(two-dimensional positioning).
Position correction by GPS is not available while the vehicle is stopped.
Accuracy of GPS will deteriorate under the following conditions:

In two-dimensional positioning, GPS accuracy will deteriorate when altitude of the vehicle position
changes.

The accuracy can be even lower depending on the arrangement of the GPS satellites utilized for the posi-
tioning.

Position detection is not possible when vehicle is in an area where radio waves from the GPS satellite do
not reach, such as in a tunnel, parking lot in a building, and under an elevated highway. Radio waves from
the GPS satellites may not be received when some object is located over the GPS antenna.
NOTE:

Even a high-precision three dimensional positioning, the detection result has an error about 10 m (30ft).

Because the signals of GPS satellite is controlled by the Tracking and Control Center in the United States,
the accuracy may be degraded lower intentionally or the radio waves may stop.

Component DescriptionNKS003K1
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 liquid crystal display panel.
DVD-ROM Drive
Maps, traffic control regulations, and other pertinent information can
be easily read from the DVD-ROM.
DVD-ROM

The 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.
GPS ANTENNA
The GPS antenna receives and amplifies the radio waves from the GPS satellites, and then transmits the GPS
signal to NAVI control unit.
DISPLAY CONTROL UNIT

Display control unit draws a status of the audio and air condi-
tioner, a TRIP screen, a FUEL ECONOMY screen, etc., and
transmits the image signals to the display screen.

It receives operation signals of audio and air conditioner from A/
C and AV switch, and transmits the operation signal of audio to
the audio unit via the communication line and transmits the
operation signal of air conditioner to the meter and A/C amp. via
CAN communication.

DISPLAY

Images on the display include RGB image such as map screen.

Display control unit controls images on the display.
A/C AND AV SWITCH

A/C and AV switch, an integrated combination of audio and air
conditioner switches, are adopted.

Operation signal of audio is transmitted to the audio unit through
display control unit with the communication line. Operation sig-
nal of air conditioner is transmitted to meter and A/C amp.
through display control unit with CAN communication.
