choice of two map viewing styles, a normal
2-dimensional Plan View map and the
3-dimensional Birdview™ map. The 3-D
Birdview™ map depicts a geographic area as
seen from an elevated perspective, so you will
get a better feel for the route ahead.

please refer to section 11.Route guidance is executed using voice and
screen instruction. When the vehicle ap-
proaches an intersection where you need to turn,

tures:
cEnlarged display of intersections.
cAutomatic rerouting when a vehicle is off the
course (when map is displayed) .

feature, please refer to section 10.To make the NISSAN Navigation System easier

is turned off, the default navigation systems
menus (Expert Mode) are displayed.

careful about the traffic direction, espe-
cially when the lanes with different travel
directions are shown separately. Such
places are interchanges and service

tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show a de-
toured route even if the road is usable.

OFF, the route may be set on them. To
avoid this, set a waypoint on another
road type and request calculation.

ferry line, the route may be set on it. To
avoid this, set a waypoint on a road and
request calculation.
