following specific route criteria:
• Avoid Current Road• Avoid Next Road• Avoid Specific Road• Detour (no. of) Miles
Route View– Allows you to view an
entire route map or a maneuver-by-
maneuver map.The In-dash Navigation System uses an
on-board computer that interacts with the
GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites,
vehicle sensors and the Map Database
to give you the precise location of your
vehicle and guide you to your destination.
Vehicle location is gathered by a combina-
tion of 3 navigation calculations: GPS
signal, dead-reckoning and map-matching.
The
GPS signalis obtained through the
GPS receiver located on your Ford
Expedition. There are currently 24 earth-
orbiting GPS satellites that are constantly
transmitting time radio signals. The In-dash
Navigation System requires a minimum of
4 satellites at any given time to calculate
your vehicle’s position. GPS signals may
be temporarily lost when traveling in tun-
nels, mountains or areas with large build-
ings. The In-dash Navigation System will
continue to function as normal despite
the temporary GPS signal loss because
of dead-reckoning.
Dead-reckoningallows the In-dash
Navigation System to accurately predict
the vehicle position despite the degrada-
tion or loss of a GPS signal. A sensor on
the wheels of the Ford Expedition allows
the system to use the vehicle’s speed and
course to store a highly accurate image
of the path the vehicle has traveled. This
information, used in conjunction with
map-matching, enables the system to
provide precise guidance advice despite
the temporary loss of a GPS signal.
Map-matchingis the process of compar-
ing the vehicle’s position, heading,
distance and speed data produced by
the vehicle sensors against the data from
the map database, to determine the most
likely location of the vehicle relative to
the map.
The display menus that prompt you for
your destination selection are part of
the navigation software. The navigation
software is stored in the navigation
system and interacts with the map data-
base CD-ROM to guide you through
the process of selecting your destination.
• Travel, journey—explore—with confi-
dence. You’ll always know where
you’re headed, wherever you go.
• No more reading maps; you get the
fastest route possible, with turn-by-turn,
address-to-address driving instructions
across the United States and parts
of Canada.
• Need to know where to exit? No
problem. The system pinpoints millions
of points of interest (POIs), in 50
different categories, and shows you
how to get where you want to go.
• Even in a strange city, you’ll feel more
secure with directions to everything
from hospitals and police stations to
gas stations.• When you are looking for entertain-
ment, find restaurants, golf courses,
tourist attractions and other venues.
• For convenience, get instant directions
to the nearest ATM or bank, or short-
cuts to hotels, airports and shopping.
• The system even relieves some of
the headaches of driving, giving you
driving directions that account for
important details for the road you’re
on, including one-ways, turn restric-
tions, highway dividers, speed cate-
gories and other navigable attributes.
