VEHICLE ICON
Symptom Possible cause Remedy
The location names differ, between Planview
and Birdview
.This is because the displayed information is
reduced so that the screen does not become
too crowded. There is also a chance that sev-
eral names of the roads or locations will be
displayed, and the names appearing on the
screen may be different because of a process-
ing procedure.It should not be regarded as abnormal.

off, for example on a ferry boat or car trans-
porter.Drive the vehicle with GPS on for some dis-
tance.

VEHICLE ICON
Symptom Possible cause Remedy
The location of vehicle icon does not match the
actual position.Driving on slippery road surface If the position marker does not move to the
correct position even after the vehicle has
been driven approximately 6 miles (10 km),
adjust the current location. If necessary, adjust
the moving speed of the vehicle. Driving on slanted area
Rough or violent driving If the position marker does not move to the
correct position even after the vehicle has
been driven approximately 6 miles (10 km),
adjust the current location.
GPS indicator remains gray. Please check the GPS indicator on the screen
to see if it remains gray. If it remains gray,
drive the vehicle to a place where the GPS can
be received.
Because the vehicle has tire chains on, or the
system was transferred to a different vehicle,
errors (gain or loss) result in calculating the
speed from the speed pulse.The location of the vehicle icon will move by
driving the vehicle for 30 minutes (in case it is
running at 18-3/4 miles/hour (30 km/h)). If you
still notice errors, adjust moving speed.
The map data has an error or is incomplete (if
the location error always happens in the same
area).Please wait for the update of the Map DVD-
ROM.

rection as the preference, it does not find the
route by matching the preference.There is no route found in that direction. This condition is not abnormal.
Route is not indicated. There is no road that can be found by this sys-
tem close to the destination.Reset the destination closer to the road dis-
played in orange. Especially with roads which
have separate lanes for opposite directions, be
careful in setting the destination or waypoints
on it, because results may differ depending on
the lane you choose.

ROUTE CALCULA TION
Symptom Possible cause Remedy
A route with many detours is suggested. If there are restrictions (such as one-way traf-
fic) on roads close to the starting point or desti-
nation, the system may suggest a detoured
route.Try slightly moving the starting point or desti-
nation.
The landmark description does not correspond
to the actual one.This may be caused by insufficient or incorrect
data on the DVD-ROM.Exchange the Map DVD-ROM. The new DVD-
ROM will be updated.
The suggested route does not exactly connect
to the starting point, waypoints, or destination.There is no data for route calculation closer to
these points.Set these points on the main road displayed in
thick orange. Please note that in some cases
even main roads lack the data for route calcu-
lation.
