ESP NISSAN PATHFINDER 2004 R50 / 2.G Navigation Manual

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 adjust the vehicle position informa-
tion using GPS signals.
RECEIVING SIGNALS FROM GPS
SATELLITES
Sometimes, satellite reception is weak. The fol-
lowing are places where signals tend to be
weak:
cInside tunnels and parking lots in buildings
cAreas with numerous tall buildings
cUnder multi-layered highways
cIn a dense forest
cNear military bases and certain government
facilities
Vehicles in these areas may not receive GPS
signals (Indicator color: gray) .INFO:
The antenna for GPS is located on the instru-
ment panel inside the vehicle.Do not place
any objects, especially mobile phones or
transceivers, on the instrument panel.Be-
cause the strength of the GPS signals are ap-
proximately one billionth of that of TV waves;
phones and transceivers will decrease the
strength or may totally disrupt the signals.DISPLAY OF GPS INFORMATION
This system displays GPS information.
Please refer to “GPS information display” on
page 11-17.
NOTE:
Directional guidance provided by the navi-
gation system does not take carpool lane
driving into consideration, especially when
carpool lanes are separated from other
road lanes.This system is designed to help you reach your
destination, and also performs other functions as
outlined in this manual. However, you, the driver,
must use the system safely and properly. Infor-
mation concerning road conditions, traffic signs
and the availability of services may not always be
up-to-date. The system is not a substitute for
safe, proper, and legal driving.
Map data covers select metropolitan areas in the
United States.
Map data is available on map DVD-ROM. For in-
formation about map DVD-ROMs, contact a
NISSAN dealer or call the NISSAN Navigation
System help desk at 1-800-NISSAN-1
(1-800-647-7261) .
Map data includes 2 types of areas: “Detailed
coverage areas” providing all detailed road data
and other areas showing “Main roads only”.

The main feature of the NISSAN Navigation Sys-
tem is Visual and Audio Route Guidance in se-
lected detailed map coverage areas. Utilizing a
network of GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites, the NISSAN Navigation System tracks
your location on the map and directs you where
you want to go.
Once you program a destination covered by a
detailed map, The NISSAN Navigation System
will determine a route from your current location
to your destination. The moving map display and
turn-by-turn voice commands help the driver de-
termine upcoming turns.
This feature can be especially helpful in finding
unfamiliar locations or businesses. The system
may be unable to set a destination and/or calcu-
late distance when a destination is outside a de-
tailed map coverage area. Additionally, audio
route guidance may not be available if the desti-
nation is outside a detailed map coverage area.
For more information on how to program a
destination, please refer to section 5.The NISSAN Navigation System offers an exten-
sive Point of Interest (POI) directory in detailed
map coverage areas for your convenience. This
directory includes a wide variety of destinations
ranging from gas stations, ATMs, and restau-
rants to casinos, ski resorts, shopping centers
and businesses. By accessing the Point of Inter-
est directory, you can search for addresses and
phone numbers for a destination, and with a
press of a button, the NISSAN Navigation Sys-
tem will calculate a route to the destination.
The Point of Interest directory offers 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 point you to the
closest one or the closest one of your favorite
brand.
For more information on how to use the Point of
Interest directory, please refer to section 6.Using the Address Book feature, you will have
the ability to store up to 50 locations in detailed
map coverage areas into a personal directory.
This is especially useful for frequently visited
locations, such as your clients, relatives, or
friends. The Address Book feature will provide
you with easy access to frequently visited loca-
tions when setting them as your destination.
For more information on how to use your Ad-
dress Book, please refer to section 7.

3. Select the
Set Average Speed for Estimated Journey Time
key on the [NAVIGATION SETTINGS]
screen.4. Move the joystick upward or downward to
select an item you want to change.

The NISSAN Navigation System may not
calculate routes longer than about 1,100
miles (1,770 km) . If your trip is longer than
1,100 miles (1,770 km) , please divide your
trip by selecting one or two intermediate
destinations. Set your destination as the
first intermediate destination. Once you
pass the intermediate destination, you
may set your final destination as your des-
tination if it is within 1,100 miles (1,770
km) . Otherwise, set your destination using
your second intermediate destination.
NOTE:
The navigation system does not take driving
in “CAR-POOL LANES” into consideration
for the guidance especially when car-pool
lanes are separated from other road lanes.
NOTES ON ROUTE GUIDANCE
cThe route selected by the system may not be
the shortest, nor are other circumstances
such as traffic jams considered.
c
Because of the inevitable difference in road
conditions and circumstances between the time
you use this system and the time the information
was produced from the DVD, there may be dis-
crepancies in roads and regulations. In such
cases, follow the actual information available.

cDuring route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move with
the actual vehicle’s movement.
cDuring route calculation, buttons such as
MAP , DEST ,
( ZOOM OUT )
and
( ZOOM IN ) and the joystick will
be disabled.
cIn some cases, after the calculation is
complete, it may take some time to get the
calculated route on the display.
cWaypoints that have been passed will not be
covered by the re-routing calculation.
cIf you scroll the map while the suggested
route is being drawn, it may take more time to
finish drawing.
cIf waypoints are set, the system is calculating
multiple routes between waypoints
simultaneously, and the following may result:
– If one section (or more) of the routes be-
tween the waypoints is not found, 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.cRoute calculation may not be completed in
the following cases:
– If there is no main road within 3.1 miles
(5 km) from the vehicle, a message say-
ing so will appear on the screen. Try re-
questing route calculation when the ve-
hicle is closer to the main road.
– If there is no main road within 3.1 miles
(5 km) from the destination or waypoint,
a message saying so will appear on the
screen. Try setting the location closer to
the main road.
– If the vehicle is too close to the destina-
tion or if there are no branches of the
roads to the destination. A message say-
ing so will appear on the screen.
– If it is deemed impossible to reach the
destination or waypoints because of traf-
fic regulations, etc.
– If the only route to reach the destination
or waypoints is extremely complicated.
– If the destination, current vehicle position
or waypoint is within the avoid area.
– If the setting of avoid areas covers the
routes to the destination, route calcula-
tion may not be possible.cThe following may occur when the route is be-
ing displayed:
– If you are requesting a calculation from
the main road, the origin of the route may
not exactly match the current vehicle
position.
– If you are requesting a calculation to a
destination on the main road, the end of
the route may not exactly match the
destination.
– If you are requesting a calculation from
the main road, the system may show a
route from another main road. This may
be because 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 re-
questing route calculation again.
–
There are cases in which the system
shows a detoured route to reach the des-
tination 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 separately. Such places are in-
terchanges and service areas.
