ROUTE GUIDANCE
The main features of the NISSAN Navigation
System are visual guidance and voice guidance
in selected map coverage areas. Utilizing a
network 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
calculate 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 espe-
cially 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
destination is outside the map coverage area.
For more information on how to set a destina-
tion, refer to section 4.
POINTS OF INTEREST (POI) DIREC-
TO RY
The NISSAN Navigation System offers an
extensive Points of Interest (POI) directory in
map coverage areas. This directory includes a
wide variety of destinations ranging from gasstations, 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
Navigation 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 easy
access to frequently visited locations when
setting 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
areas or freeways that you would like theNISSAN Navigation System to avoid when
calculating routes. For example, if a freeway or
area is always 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.
XM NavTraffic®INFORMATION
When available the XM NavTraffic®Information
broadcast allows you to avoid delays due to
traffic incidents. Traffic jams, roadwork, closed
roads around your current location, etc. are
represented graphically on the map by icons
depicting the nature of the event. Incidents on
the route are automatically brought to your
attention when you approach them.
The XM NavTraffic
®Information feature, via the
guidance mode, allows you to detour around
traffic problems. For more information on the XM
NavTraffic
®Information feature, please refer to
section 5.
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.
