data calculated previously by using radio waves from four or more
GPS satellites (two-dimensional positioning).
Accuracy of the GPS will deteriorate under the following conditions.
In two-dimensional positioning, the GPS accuracy will deterio-
rate when the altitude of the vehicle position changes.
There may be an error of approximately 10 m (30 ft.) in posi-
tion detected by three-dimensional positioning, which is more
accurate than two-dimensional positioning. The accuracy can
be even lower depending on the arrangement of the GPS sat-
ellites utilized for the positioning.
Position detection is not possible when the vehicle is in an area
where radio waves from the GPS satellite do not reach, such
as in a tunnel, parking lot in a building, and under an elevated
highway. Radio waves from the GPS satellites may not be
received when some object is located over the GPS antenna.
Position correction by GPS is not available while the vehicle is
stopped.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONNJEL0592S05AV and NAVI Control UnitNJEL0592S0501The gyro (angular speed sensor) and the DVD-ROM drive are
built-in units that control the navigation functions.
Signals are received from the gyro, the vehicle speed sensor,
and the GPS antenna. Vehicle location is determined by com-
bining this data with the data contained in the DVD-ROM map.
Locational information is shown on liquid crystal display panel.
PKIA0249E
DVD-ROM DriveNJEL0592S0502Maps, traffic control regulations, and other pertinent information
can be easily read from the DVD-ROM disc.
Map DVD-ROMNJEL0592S0503The map DVD-ROM has maps, traffic control regulations, and
other pertinent information.
To improve DVD-ROM map matching and route determination
functions, the DVD-ROM uses an exclusive Nissan format.
Therefore, the use of a DVD-ROM provided by other manufac-
turers cannot be used.
Gyro (Angular Speed Sensor)NJEL0592S0504The oscillator gyro sensor is used to detect changes in vehicle
steering angle.
The gyro is built into the navigation (AV and NAVI) control unit.
