INFINITI QX50 2019 Navigation Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATION
Display of current vehicle location
This navigation system combines the data
obtained from the vehicle (by gyro sensor)
and from GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites to calculate the current location of
the vehicle. This position is then displayed
throughout route guidance to a destination.
What is GPS (Global Positioning
System)?
GPS is a position detecting system that uses
satellites deployed by the U.S. government.
This navigation system receives radio signals
from three or more different satellites that
orbit 13,049 miles (21,000 km) above the
earth in space, and detect the position of the
vehicle by utilizing the principle of triangula-
tion.
Positioning adjustment:
When the system judges that the vehicle
position is not accurate based on vehicle
speed and gyro sensor data calculations, the
system will automatically adjust the position of the vehicle icon using GPS signals.
Receiving signals from GPS satellites:
The reception of GPS signals can be weak,
depending on the environment. Vehicles in
the following areas/environments may not
receive GPS signals.
*
Inside tunnels or parking garages
*In areas with numerous tall buildings
*Under multi-layered highways
9. Navigation (if so equipped)
9-59

9. Navigation (if so equipped)
*Areas with numerous tall trees
*In a canyon
INFO:
The GPS antenna is located on the instru-
ment panel inside the vehicle. Do not place
any objects, especially cellular phones or
transceivers, on the instrument panel. Be-
cause the strength of the GPS signal is
approximately one billionth of that of TV
waves, phones and transceivers will affect
or may totally disrupt the signal.
Incorrect display of vehicle position
The following cases may affect the display
accuracy of the vehicle’s position or traveling
direction. The accuracy will return to normal
if the driving conditions return to normal.
* When there is a similar road nearby.
*When the vehicle is traveling in an area
with a grid pattern road system.
*When the vehicle is passing through a
large Y-shaped intersection/junction.
9-60

*When the vehicle is traveling on a
continuous, slowly curving road.
*When the vehicle is traveling on a road
with repeating S-shaped curves.
*When the vehicle is on a loop bridge.
*When the vehicle is on a snow-covered
or unpaved road.
*When repeatedly turning left or right, or
driving in zigzags.
*When the vehicle is rotated on a parking
lot turntable while the ignition switch is
off.
9. Navigation (if so equipped)
9-61

9. Navigation (if so equipped)
*When driving on a road not displayed on
the map screen or a road that has been
changed due to additional construction
or other reasons.
*When the GPS positioning accuracy is
low.
INFO:
. The vehicle icon may be misaligned when
starting the vehicle just after starting the
engine.
. The vehicle icon may also be misaligned if
different sized tires or tire chains are
installed.
. The system has a function that auto-
matically corrects the vehicle icon posi-
tion when it is misaligned from the actual
position.
. Vehicle position correction by GPS may
not function when the vehicle is stopped.
. If the vehicle icon position does not
return to normal even after driving for a
while, correct the vehicle icon position
manually.
Detailed Map Coverage Areas
(MCA) for navigation system
This system is designed to help guiding to
the destination, and it also performs other
functions as outlined in this manual. How-
ever, the system must be used safely and
properly. Information concerning road con-
ditions, traffic signs and the availability of
services may not always be up-to-date. The system is not a substitute for safe, proper
and legal driving.
Map data covers select metropolitan areas
in the United States and Canada.
Map data includes two types of areas:
“Detailed coverage areas” providing all de-
tailed road data and other areas showing
“Main roads only”.
INFO:
Detailed map data is not available in many
areas and is generally limited to select major
metropolitan areas.
When gray road is displayed on map
. When you are driving on a road displayed
in gray after the vehicle has deviated
from the suggested route during route
guidance, automatic rerouting may not
start immediately.
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in
dark green. Therefore, if the destination
is set on a road displayed in dark green,
the enlarged map display will return to
the ordinary map screen at some point
on a suggested route that is near the
destination. Also, voice guidance will
9-62

stop at some point on a suggested route
that is near the destination.
. Places information and street names
near roads displayed in gray may not be
contained in the map data.
ROUTE CALCULATION
.There may be cases where carpool lanes
are included on a suggested route when
the automatic rerouting function is acti-
vated, even if the [Use Time Restricted
Roads] is set to [Use Restriction Info].
“Route Settings” (page 9-42)
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in
dark green.
. If the destination is set on a dark green
road, the enlarged map display will
switch to the ordinary map screen at
some point and suggest a route that is
near the destination. The distance and
direction to the endpoint of the sug-
gested route will be displayed in the
lower right corner of the screen. Also, at
this time, voice guidance will announce,
“The route to the destination includes
roads through incomplete map areas.
Voice guidance will not be provided in
these areas.” When approaching the endpoint of the
suggested route, voice guidance will
announce, “Entering the road with in-
complete map data. Use the direction
arrow and distance information to pro-
ceed to your destination.”
To reach the destination, refer to the
map screen. Always follow actual roads
and regulations and drive safely.
. The suggested route may not be the
shortest, nor are other circumstances
such as traffic jams considered.
. Because of the inevitable difference in
road conditions and circumstances be-
tween the time you use this system and
the time the information was produced
for the map data, there may be discre-
pancies in roads and regulations. In such
cases, actual road conditions and regula-
tions take precedence over map data
information.
. During route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move
according to the actual vehicle’s move-
ment.
. During route calculation, buttons such as
the

9. Navigation (if so equipped)
regulations, etc.
— If the only route to reach the destina- tion or waypoints is extremely com-
plicated.
. The following may occur when the route
is displayed.
— If you calculate a route on a main road, the starting point of the route may
not exactly match the current vehicle
location.
— The endpoint of the route may not exactly match the destination.
— If you calculate a route on a main road, the system may display a route from
another main road. This may be
because the position of the vehicle
icon is not accurate. In this case, park
the vehicle in a safe location and reset
the vehicle icon, or continue driving to
see if the position of the vehicle icon
is automatically adjusted before re-
calculating the route.
— There are cases in which the system shows an indirect route to reach the
destination or waypoints, if you set
them from stored or facility informa-
tion. In order to correct this, you must be careful about the traffic direction,
especially when lanes with different
travel directions are shown sepa-
rately, such as interchanges and ser-
vice areas.
— This system makes no distinction be- tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage). It may show an
indirect route even if the road is
usable.
— Even if the freeway preference is set to OFF, a route that uses the freeway
may be suggested.
— Even if the ferry preference is set to OFF, a route that uses a ferry line
may be suggested.
ROUTE GUIDANCE
INFO:
The system will only announce street names
when the system language is set to English.
Street names are not announced when the
system is set to French/Spanish.
Repeating voice guidance
This function is available throughout route
guidance, from the time after the route
calculation is completed until the vehicle
arrives at the destination. Push and hold
the

.Voice guidance is activated only for
intersections with certain conditions.
There may be cases where the vehicle
has to turn, but voice guidance is not
provided.
. Voice guidance contents may vary, de-
pending on the direction of the turn and
the type of intersection.
. The voice guidance timing will vary
depending on the situation.
. When the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route, voice guidance is not
available. The system will not announce
this. Refer to the map and recalculate the
route.
“Recalculating route” (page 9-37)
. Voice guidance may not accurately cor-
respond with road numbers and direc-
tions at freeway junctions.
. Voice guidance may not accurately cor-
respond to street names at freeway
exits.
. The displayed street names may some-
times differ from the actual names, or
“UNKNOWN STREET NAME” may be
displayed. .
Voice guidance is not available when the
[Voice Guidance] is turned off.
“Volume settings” (page 2-19)
. Voice guidance will start when the
vehicle enters the suggested route. Refer
to the map for directions to the starting
point of the route.
. When approaching a waypoint, voice
guidance will announce, “You have ar-
rived at waypoint 1 (2, 3, 4,...).” Voice
guidance will switch to the next section
of the route. When voice guidance is not
available, refer to the map for directions.
. In some cases, voice guidance ends
before arrival at the destination. Refer
to the destination icon on the map to
reach the destination.
. If the system recognizes on which side
the destination (waypoint) is located,
voice guidance will announce “on the
right/left” after announcing the arrival at
the destination.
. Voice guidance may be partially opera-
tional or inoperative due to the angle of
roads at an intersection.
. Because freeway lane information is
available only for approximately 7,000 major freeways in North America, it is
not possible to display information for all
junctions and exits.
. Freeway exit information may differ
from the information on the actual exit
signs.
. Because it is not possible to consider
data concerning roads that are season-
ally available or unavailable, a route may
be displayed that does not match the
actual traffic restrictions. Be sure to
follow the actual traffic restrictions
while driving.
. Canada and Alaska contain many roads
with incomplete map data. As a result,
when searching for a route, the route
may include roads with incomplete data.
In regions where road data is not
complete, voice guidance may stop for
long periods of time. Be sure to follow
the actual traffic restrictions while driv-
ing.
