ABOUT THE NAVIGATION SYSTEMThis navigation system combines the data ob-
tained 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 on the screen, allow-
ing route guidance to a destination.GPS is a system developed and operated by the
U.S. Government, covering the entire planet.
This navigation system receives three or more
different radio signals from NAVSTAR (GPS
satellites), orbiting the earth 13,049 miles
(21,000 km) above ground. The data from dif-
ferent sets of signals will be trigonometrically
calculated to obtain the position of the vehicle.
INFO:
The tracking center in the U.S. controls signals
transmitted from GPS satellites. This control
sometimes results in reduced accuracy or no
signal received at all in accordance with govern-
ment requirements.
ACCURACY OF POSITIONINGThe color of the GPS Indicator
on the upper
left corner of the screen indicates positioning as
follows:

Green: positioning is possible and accurate

Yellow: positioning is possible but accuracy
is minimal.

Gray: positioning is not possible

INFO:
For approximately 3 or 4 minutes after system
startup, the GPS indicator
remains gray,
even if accurate positioning is possible.
POSITIONING ADJUSTMENTWhen the system judges that the vehicle posi-
tion information is not accurate based on vehicle
speed and gyro sensor data calculations, the
system will adjust the vehicle position informa-
tion using GPS signals.RECEIVING SIGNALS FROM GPS
SATELLITESSometimes, satellite reception is weak. The fol-
lowing are places where signals tend to be
weak:

Inside tunnels and parking garages

Areas with numerous tall buildings

Under multi-layered highways

In a dense forest
Vehicles in these areas may not receive GPS
signals (Indicator color: gray).INFO:
The antenna for GPS is located on the instru-
ment panel inside the vehicle.Do not place any
objects, especially mobile phones or trans-
ceivers, on the instrument panel. Because
the strength of the GPS signal is approximately
one billionth of that of TV waves; phones and
transceivers will decrease the strength or may
totally disrupt the signals.
DISPLAY OF GPS INFORMATIONThis system displays GPS information.
Please refer to “GPS information display” on
page 11-17.
NOTE:
Directional guidance provided by the navi-
gation system does not take carpool lane
driving into consideration, especially when
carpool lanes are separated from other
road lanes.This system is designed to help you reach your
destination, and also performs other functions as
outlined in this manual. However, you, the driver,
must use the system safely and properly. Infor-
mation concerning road conditions, 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.
Map data is available on map DVD-ROM. For
information about map DVD-ROMs, contact a
NISSAN dealer or call the NISSAN NAVIGA-
TION SYSTEM HELPDESK at 1-800-
NISSAN-1 (1-800-647-7261) for U.S., and at
1-800-777-0325 for CANADA.
Map data includes 2 types of areas: “Detailed
coverage areas” providing all detailed road data
and other areas showing “Main roads only”.
NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in many
areas and is generally limited to select
major metropolitan areas.
For information on which metropolitan areas are
in detailed coverage areas, please refer to the
NISSAN Navigation System Software Booklet
(included). When you purchase an updated map

DVD-ROM, a new software booklet will be pro-
vided.WHEN A GRAY ROAD OR DARK
GREEN ROAD IS DISPLAYED ON
THE MAP
When you are driving on a gray road after the
vehicle has deviated from the suggested
route during route guidance, automatic re-
routing may not start immediately.

The navigation system does not provide route
guidance for dark green roads. Therefore, if
the destination is set on a dark green road,
the enlarged map display will return to the
ordinary map screen at a point on a sug-
gested road that is near the destination. Also,
the voice guidance will stop at a point on a
suggested road that is near the destination.
Refer to “About route guidance” on page
4-24 for details.

POI information and street names near gray
roads may not be contained in the map data.2-4

The main feature of the NISSAN Navigation
System is Visual and Audio Route Guidance in
selected detailed map coverage areas. Utilizing
a network of GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites, the NISSAN Navigation System tracks
your location on the map and directs you where
you want to go.
Once you program a destination covered by a
detailed map, the NISSAN Navigation System
will determine a route from your current location
to your destination. The moving map display and
turn-by-turn voice commands help the driver
determine upcoming turns.
This feature can be especially helpful in finding
unfamiliar locations or businesses. The system
may be unable to set a destination and/or cal-
culate distance when a destination is outside a
detailed map coverage area. Additionally, audio
route guidance may not be available if the des-
tination is outside a detailed map coverage area.
For more information on how to program a
destination, please refer to section 5.The NISSAN Navigation System offers an exten-
sive Point of Interest directory in detailed map
coverage areas. This directory includes a wide
variety of destinations ranging from gas stations,
ATMs, and restaurants to casinos, ski resorts,
shopping centers and businesses. By accessing
the Point of Interest directory, you can search for
addresses and phone numbers for a destination,
and with a press of a button, the NISSAN
Navigation System will calculate a route to the
destination.
The Point of Interest directory offers many uses.
For example, the directory can be sorted by the
various types of restaurants near your current
location. If you need an ATM or gas station, the
NISSAN Navigation System can point you to the
closest one or the closest one of your favorite
brand.
For more information on how to use the Point of
Interest directory, please refer to section 6.Using the Address Book feature, you will have
the ability to store up to 50locations in detailed
map coverage areas into a personal directory.
This is especially useful for frequently visited
locations, such as your clients, relatives, or
friends. The Address Book feature will provide
you with easy access to frequently visited loca-
tions when setting them as your destination.

dress Book, please refer to section 7.ROUTE GUIDANCE

The NISSAN Navigation System gives you a
choice of two map viewing styles, a normal
2-dimensional PLANVIEW map and the
3-dimensional BIRDVIEW
TM
map. The 3-D
BIRDVIEW
TM
map depicts a geographic area as
seen from an elevated perspective, so you will
get a better feel for the route ahead.
For more information on the BIRDVIEW
TM
fea-
ture, please refer to section 11.Route guidance is executed using voice and
screen instruction. When the vehicle ap-
proaches an intersection where you need to turn,
the voice guidance tells you the direction to take.
The system also has the following useful fea-
tures:

Enlarged display of intersections.

Automatic rerouting when a vehicle is off the
course (when map is displayed).
For more information on the Voice Guidance
feature, please refer to section 10.To make the NISSAN Navigation System easier
to use, there is a short menu function in which
the most commonly used items are listed. When
the indicator is illuminated, the short menus
(Easy Mode) are displayed. When the indicator
is turned off, the default navigation systems
menus (Expert Mode) are displayed.
INFO:

[Easy Mode] is the default setting on the
initial screen at the delivery of your new
vehicle.

the liquid crystal display was open when the
ignition key was turned to OFF position, then
the next time the ignition key is turned to ON
or ACC position.

the button on the cover of the liquid crystaldisplay is pressed with the ignition key in ON
or ACC position.
INFO:
The liquid crystal display may not open if the
power supply had been interrupted due to dis-
connecting the vehicle battery etc.
HOW TO CLOSE THE LC DISPLAYThe liquid crystal display closes when:

the ignition key is turned to OFF position.

the button on the cover of the liquid crystal
display is pressed with the ignition key in ON
