ROUTE CALCULATION
NOTE:
Except for the ordinance-designated cities and the prefectural capitals. (Applicable areas may be changed in the updated map disc.) Symptom Possible cause Remedy
Although the system is set with
the moving direction as the prefer-
ence, it does not find the route by
matching the preference.There is no route found in that direction. This is not malfunction.
Route is not indicated.There is no road close to the destination that
can be found by this system.Reset the destination close to the road dis-
played with orange, or wider ones. Especially
with roads which have separate lanes for
opposite directions, be careful in setting the
destination or way points on it, as results may
differ depending on the lane you choose.
The starting point to the destination is too close. Set more distant destinations.
The route is not displayed continu-
ously at way points that are for
example not calculated routes
from the vehicle's current position.Suggested routes may be displayed discontinu-
ously near way points as route calculation is
done at each way point.This is not malfunction.
The suggested route the vehicle
has travelled is erased.Suggested routes are stored in memory by the
blocks; if the vehicle travels past way point 1,
the former data will be erased.This is not malfunction.
A very detoured route is sug-
gested.If there are restrictions (such as one-way traffic)
on roads close to the starting point or destina-
tion, 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.It may be caused by insufficient or incorrect
data on the DVD-ROM.Please wait for the update Map DVD-ROM.
The suggested route does not
exactly connect to the starting
point, way points, 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.

EXAMPLES OF VEHICLE MARK DISPLACEMENT
Vehicle's travel amount is calculated by reading its travel distance and turning angle. Therefore, if the vehicle
is driven in the following manner, an error will occur in the vehicle's current location display. If correct location
has not been restored after driving the vehicle for a while, perform location correction.

Road
configura-
tionY–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
vehicle 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.

PlaceIn 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. Turntable
When the ignition switch is off, the naviga-
tion system cannot get the signal from the
gyroscope (angular speed sensor). There-
fore, the displayed direction may be wrong
and the correct road may not be easily
returned to after rotating the vehicle on a
turntable 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 dataRoad 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.
VehicleUse 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.) Cause (condition) Driving condition Remarks (correction, etc.)

VEHICLE MARK SHOWS A POSITION WHICH IS COMPLETELY WRONG
In the following cases, the vehicle 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 direction correction.

When location correction has not been done
–If the receiving conditions of the GPS satellite signal is poor, if the vehicle 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.
VEHICLE MARK JUMPS
In the following cases, the vehicle 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 vehicle mark are different when map matching is done, the vehicle 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 vehicle mark are different when the location is corrected using GPS mea-
surements, the vehicle mark may seem to jump. At this time, the location may be “corrected” to a location
which is not on a road.
Precautions
for drivingJust 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 vehicle mark may deviate from the cor-
rect 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
correct
locationPosition 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. Cause (condition) Driving condition Remarks (correction, etc.)

VEHICLE MARK IS IN A RIVER OR SEA
The navigation system moves the vehicle mark with no distinction between land and rivers or sea. If the vehi-
cle mark is somehow out of place, it may appear that the vehicle is driving in a river or the sea.
VEHICLE MARK AUTOMATICALLY ROTATES
The system wrongly memorizes the rotating status as stopping when the ignition switch is turned ON with the
turntable rotating. That causes the vehicle mark to rotate when the vehicle is stopped.
WHEN DRIVING ON SAME ROAD, SOMETIMES VEHICLE 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 vehicle 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.
