navigation system NISSAN ALTIMA HYBRID 2010 L32A / 4.G Navigation Manual

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.
CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATION
10-4General system information

NOTE:
Route guidance provided by the navigation
system does not take carpool lane driving
into consideration, especially when car-
pool lanes are separated from other road
lanes.
INCORRECT DISPLAY OF VEHICLE
POSITION
The following cases may affect the display accu-
racy of the vehicle’s position or traveling
direction. The accuracy will return to normal if
the driving conditions return to normal.

10-6General system information

INFO:
●The vehicle icon may be misaligned when
starting the vehicle just after starting the
engine.
●The vehicle icon may also be misaligned if dif-
ferent sized tires or tire chains are installed.
●The system has a function that automatically
corrects the vehicle icon position 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.

tion” (page 8-13)
DETAILED MAP COVERAGE AREAS
(MCA) FOR THE NAVIGATION SYS-
TEM
This system is designed to help guiding to the
destination, and it also performs other functions
as outlined in this manual. However, the system
must be used safely and properly. Information
concerning road conditions, traffic signs and the
availability of services may not always be
up-todate. 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 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 ma-
jor metropolitan areas.
WHEN A GRAY ROAD IS DIS-
PLAYED ON THE MAP
●When you are driving on a road displayed in
gray after the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route during route guidance, auto-
matic 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
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.
LNV0518
10-8General system information

●There may be cases that carpool lanes are in-
cluded on a suggested route when the auto-
matic rerouting function is activated, even if
the “Use Time Restricted Roads” is turned off.
“Setting conditions for the route
calculation” (page 5-33)
●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 or-
dinary map screen at some point and suggest
a route that is near the destination. The dis-
tance and direction to the endpoint of the
suggested route will be displayed in the lower
right corner of the screen. Also, at this time,
voice guidance will announce, “The route to
your destination includes roads through in-
complete map areas. Voice guidance will not
be provided in these areas”.
When approaching the endpoint of the sug-
gested route, voice guidance will announce,
“Entering the road with incomplete map
data. Please use the direction arrow and
distance information to proceed to your
destination.”
To reach your 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 between the
time you use this system and the time the in-
formation was produced for the map data,
there may be discrepancies in roads and
regulations. In such cases, follow the actual
information available.
●During route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move with
the actual vehicle’s movement.
●During route calculation, buttons such as
MAP, DEST, ZOOM OUT, and ZOOM IN will
be disabled.
●In some cases, after the calculation is
complete, the calculated route may not be im-
mediately displayed.
●Waypoints that have been passed will be dis-
regarded by rerouting calculation.
●If you scroll the map while the suggested
route is being drawn, it may take more time to
finish drawing.
●If waypoints are set, the system calculates
multiple routes between waypoints
simultaneously, and the following may result:– If one section between waypoints cannot
be calculated, none of the route will be
displayed.
– The route may not connect completely at
some waypoints.
– The route may require a U-turn close to
some waypoints.
●Route calculation may not be completed in
the following cases:
– If there is no main road within a range of
1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the vehicle, a
message saying so will appear on the
screen. Try recalculating when the ve-
hicle is closer to a main road.
– If there is no main road within a range of
1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the destination or
waypoint, a message saying so will ap-
pear on the screen. Try setting the loca-
tion closer to a main road.
– If the vehicle is too close to the destina-
tion or if there are no roads to the
destination, a message saying so will ap-
pear on the screen.
– If it is impossible to reach the destination
or waypoints because of traffic
regulations, etc.

Troubleshooting guide11-3

Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ between Plan
view and Birdview™.This is because the quantity of the displayed information is
reduced so that the screen does not become too crowded.
There is also a chance that names of the roads or locations
may be displayed multiple times, and the names appearing
on the screen may be different because of a processing
procedure.This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle icon is not displayed in the correct
position.The vehicle was transported after the ignition switch was
pushed off, for example, by a ferry or car transporter.Drive the vehicle for a while on a road where GPS signals can
be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon may be incor-
rect depending on the driving environments and the levels of
positioning accuracy of the navigation system.This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for a while to auto-
matically correct the position and direction of the vehicle icon.
“Current vehicle location” (page 10-4)
When the vehicle is traveling on a new road, the
vehicle icon is located on another road nearby.Because the new road is not stored in the map data, the sys-
tem automatically places the vehicle icon on the nearest road
available.Updated road information will be included in the next version of
the map data.
