System Overview
Your navigation system is a highly
sophisticated location system with voice
control that uses satellites and a map
database to show you where you are and
to help guide you to a desired
destination.
The navigation system receives signals
from the global positioning system
(GPS), a network of 24 satellites in orbit
around the earth. By receiving signals
from several of these satellites, the
navigation system can determine the
latitude, longitude, and elevation of
your vehicle. In a ddition, a gyroscopic
yaw sensor and a vehicle speed sensor
in your vehicle k eep track of the
direction and speed of travel at all times.

the display changes to a screen similar
to the one at the right. You can then use
the displayed letters, numbers, or
symbols to enter information. You can

the following ways:
 Say the desired letter, number, or symbol on the screen if you are
entering a City or Street name.

of the name, enter the letters that you are sure of, then move the Interface Dial up
