ECU NISSAN MAXIMA 2003 A33 / 5.G Navigation Manual

System to plot routes that go around that par-
ticular freeway or area.
For more information on the Avoid Area fea-
ture, please refer to section 8.
AUTOMA TIC RE-ROUTE
If you miss a turn while using the Route Guid-
ance feature, the Nissan Navigation System will
automatically re-calculate a new route to your
destination.
For more information on the Automatic Re-
Route feature, please refer to section 9.
DETOUR
If you hear about a traffic accident on the radio
that is 4 miles (6 km) ahead of you and traffic
is backing up fast, you can use the Detour func-
tion to calculate an alternative route that will
help you avoid the gridlock caused by the traf-
fic accident. The Nissan Navigation System has
the ability to find an alternative route using sec-
ondary roads that will return you to primaryroads after a specified number of miles.
For more information on the Detour feature,
please refer to section 9.
BIRD VIEWTM
The Nissan Navigation System gives you a
choice of two map viewing styles, a normal
2-dimensional PLANVIEW map and the
3-dimensional BIRDVIEW
TMmap. The 3-D
BIRDVIEWTMmap 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
TMfea-
ture, please refer to section 11.
VOICE GUIDANCE
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:

The following may occur when the route is
being displayed.
— Even if you are requesting calculation from
the main road, the origin of the route may
not exactly match the current vehicle posi-
tion.
— Even if you are requesting calculation to the
destination on the main road, the end of the
route may not exactly match the destination.
— Even if you are requesting calculation from
the main road, the system may show a route
from another main road. This may be be-
cause the icon to show the current vehicle
position (vehicle icon) is not set accurately .
In that case, park the car in a safe place and
reset the vehicle icon, or continue driving
to see if the vehicle icon appears on the
main road before requesting route calcula-
tion again.
— There are cases in which the system showsa detoured route to reach the destination or
waypoints, if you set them from memory or
facility information. In order to correct this,
you will have to be careful about the traffic
direction, especially when the lanes with
different travel directions are shown sepa-
rately . Such places are interchanges and
service areas.
— This system makes no distinction between
limited traffic control and total control
(blockage). It may show a detoured route
even if the road is usable.
— Even if the freeway preference is set to OFF ,
the route may be set on them. T o avoid this,
set a waypoint on another road type and re-
quest calculation.
— Even if the preference is set as OFF for a
ferry line, the route may be set on it. T o
avoid this, set a waypoint on a road and re-
quest calculation.
— Ferry lines, except those which accept onlypedestrians, bicycles and motorcycles, are
stored in this system. When using them,
take into consideration the travel time re-
quired and operational condition to decide
whether to use them or not.
