wait.”
BASIC VOICE CONTROL
Before starting
To get the best recognition performance out of
NISSAN Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing:
cThe interior of the vehicle should be as quiet
as possible. Close the windows to eliminate
the surrounding noises (traffic noise and vi-
bration sounds, etc.) , which may prevent the
system from correctly recognizing the voice
commands.

command. Otherwise, the command will not
be recognized properly.
cSpeak in a natural conversational voice with-
out pausing between words.

ROUTE GUIDANCE
The main features of the NISSAN Navigation
System are visual guidance and voice guidance
in selected map coverage areas. Utilizing a net-
work of GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites, the NISSAN Navigation System tracks
your location on the map and navigates you to a
preferred location.
Once you set the destination in a map coverage
area, the NISSAN Navigation System will calcu-
late a route from your current location to your
destination. The real-time map display and turn-
by-turn voice guidance leads the driver along the
route.
These features can be especially helpful when
driving to unfamiliar locations.
The system may be unable to set a destination
and/or calculate a route when the destination is
outside the map coverage area. Additionally,
voice guidance may not be available if the desti-
nation is outside the map coverage area. For
more information on how to set a destination, re-
fer to section 4.
POINTS OF INTEREST (POI) DIREC-
TORY
The NISSAN Navigation System offers an exten-
sive Points of Interest (POI) directory in 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 Points of Interest directory, you can search
for addresses and phone numbers for a
destination, and just by pushing a button, the
NISSAN Navigation System will calculate a
route to the destination.
The POI directory has 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 Navi-
gation System can navigate you to the closest
preferred location.
For more information on how to use the Points of
Interest directory, refer to section 4.
ADDRESS BOOK
The Address Book can store up to 100 locations
from map coverage areas into a personal
directory. This is especially useful for frequently
visited locations, such as clients, relatives and
friends. The Address Book function allows easyaccess to frequently visited locations when set-
ting them as your destination.
For more information on how to use the Address
Book, refer to section 6.
AVOID AREA
The Avoid Area function allows you to identify ar-
eas or freeways that you would like the NISSAN
Navigation System to avoid when calculating
routes. For example, if a freeway or area is al-
ways congested with traffic, you can set the
NISSAN Navigation System to calculate routes
that exclude that freeway or area.
For more information on the Avoid Area function,
refer to section 6.
XMTNAVTRAFFIC™ INFORMATION
When available, the Traffic Information broad-
cast allows you to avoid delays due to traffic
incidents. Traffic jams, roadwork, closed roads
around your current location, etc. are repre-
sented graphically on the map by icons depict-
ing the nature of the event. Incidents on the route
are automatically brought to your attention when
you approach them.
The Traffic Information feature, via the guidance
mode, allows you to detour around traffic
problems. For more information on the Traffic In-
formation feature, please refer to section 7.

AUTOMATIC REROUTE
If you deviate from the suggested route, the
NISSAN Navigation System will automatically
recalculate a new route to your destination.
For more information on the Automatic reroute
function, refer to section 5.
DETOUR
If you want to make a detour due to traffic
conditions, you can use the Detour function to
calculate an alternative route. The NISSAN Navi-
gation System can calculate a route using sec-
ondary roads that will return you to primary roads
after a specified number of miles.
For more information on the Detour function, re-
fer to section 5.
Birdview™
Two map types, 2-dimensional Plan View and
3-dimensional Birdview™, are available in the
NISSAN Navigation System. Birdview™ displays
the map from an elevated perspective. In
Birdview™, it is easy to recognize an image of the
route because it provides a panoramic view over
a long distance.
For more information on Birdview™, refer to sec-
tion 3.
VOICE GUIDANCE
Route guidance is provided through voice and
visual instructions. Voice guidance announces
the appropriate directions when approaching an
intersection at which you need to turn.
For more information on voice guidance, refer to
section 5.

DISPLAY OF CURRENT VEHICLE
LOCATION
This 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 throughout route guid-
ance 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 detects the position of the vehicle by
utilizing the principle of triangulation.
Positioning adjustment
When the system judges that the vehicle posi-
tion information 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, de-
pending on the environment. Vehicles in the fol-
lowing areas/environments may not receive GPS
signals.
