The location names differ, between Planview and
Birdview™.This is because the displayed information is reduced so
that the screen does not become too crowded. There is
also a chance that names of roads or locations will be dis-
played twice. The name appearing on the screen may be
different because of a processing procedure.This should not be regarded as abnormal.
The vehicle icon is not shown correctly. The vehicle might have moved with the ignition off, for ex-
ample on a ferry boat or car transporter.Drive the vehicle with the GPS on for some distance.
The screen does not switch to night screen even after turn-
ing the headlights on.When the lights were last turned on, the last setting was
the daytime screen.Turn the headlights on again, go to [DISPLAY SETTING]
screen and set it to the night screen.

The location of vehicle icon does not match the actual
position.Driving on slippery road surface. If the position marker does not move to the correct position
even after the vehicle has been driven approximately 6
miles (10 km) , adjust the current location. If necessary,
adjust the moving speed of the vehicle. If the symptom still
exists, contact your NISSAN dealer. Driving on slanted area.
Rough or violent driving. If the position marker does not move to the correct position
even after the vehicle has been driven approximately 6
miles (10 km) , adjust the current location.
GPS indicator remains gray. Please check the GPS indicator on the screen to see if it
remains gray. If it remains gray, drive the vehicle to a place
where the GPS can be received.
Because the vehicle has tire chains on, or the system was
transferred to a different vehicle, errors (gain or loss) result
in calculating the speed from the speed pulse.The location of the vehicle icon will move by driving the
vehicle for 30 minutes (in case it is running at 18-3/4
miles/hour (30 km/h)) . If you still notice errors, adjust mov-
ing speed. If the symptom still exists, contact your NISSAN
dealer.
The map data has an error or is incomplete (if the location
error always happens in the same area) .Please wait for the update of the Map DVD-ROM.

Symptom Possible cause Remedy
Although the system is set with the moving direction as the
preference, it does not find the route by matching the
preference.There is no route found in that direction. This condition is not abnormal.
Route is not indicated. There is no road that can be found by this system close to
the destination.Reset the destination closer to the road displayed in
orange. Especially with roads which have separate lanes
for opposite directions, be careful in setting the destination
or waypoints on it, because results may differ depending
on the lane you choose.
The starting point to the destination is too close. Set more distant destinations.
The present location is about 1,100 miles (1,770 km) away
from the destination.Set the destination to within 1,100 miles (1,770 km) .
The route is not displayed continuously at waypoints, for
example, that are not calculated route from the vehicle’s
current position.Suggested routes may be displayed discontinuously near
waypoints as route calculation is done at each waypoint.This condition is not abnormal.
The suggested route the vehicle has traveled is erased. Suggested routes are stored in memory by the blocks; if
the vehicle travels past waypoint block 1, the previous data
will be erased.This condition is not abnormal.
A route with many detours is suggested. If there are restrictions (such as one-way traffic) on roads
close to the starting point or destination, the system may
suggest a detoured route.Try slightly moving the starting point or destination.
The landmark description does not correspond to the ac-
tual one.This may be caused by insufficient or incorrect data on the
DVD-ROM.Exchange the Map DVD-ROM. The new DVD-ROM will be
updated.
The suggested route does not exactly connect to the start-
ing point, waypoints, or destination.There is no data for route calculation closer to these points. Set these points on the main road displayed in thick
orange. Please note that in some cases even main roads
lack the data for route calculation.
