Map MatchingNBEL0228S0102Map matching allows the driver to compare the sensed vehicle
location data with the road map contained in the CD-ROM drive.
Vehicle position is marked on the CD-ROM map. This permits the
driver to accurately determine his/her present position on the high-
way and to make appropriate course decisions.
When GPS data reception is poor during travel, the vehicle posi-
tion is not amended. At this time, manual manipulation of the CD-
ROM map position marker is required.
SEL686V
Map matching permits the driver to make priority judgments about
possible appropriate roads other than the one currently being trav-
eled.
If there is an error in the distance or direction of travel, there will
also be an error in the relative position of other routes. When two
routes are closely parallel to one another, the indicated position for
both routes will be nearly the same priority. This is so that, slight
changes in the steering direction may cause the marker to indicate
both routes alternately.
SEL687V
Newly constructed roads may not appear on the CD-ROM map. In
this case, map matching is not possible. Changes in the course of
a road will also prevent accurate map matching.
When driving on a road not shown on the CD-ROM map, the posi-
tion marker used for map matching may indicate a different route.
Even after returning to a route shown on the map, the position
marker may jump to the position currently detected.

GPS (Global Positioning System)NBEL0228S0103GPS is the global positioning system developed and operated by
the US Department of Defense. GPS satellites (NAVSTAR) trans-
mit radio waves and orbit around the earth at an altitude of approxi-
mately 21,000 km (13,000 miles).
GPS receiver calculates the three-dimensional position of the
vehicle (latitude, longitude, and altitude from the sea level) by the
time difference of the radio wave arriving from more than four GPS
satellites (three-dimensional positioning).
When the radio wave is received from only three GPS satellites, the
two-dimensional position (latitude and longitude) is calculated,
using the altitude from the sea level data calculated by using four
GPS satellites (two-dimensional positioning).
Positioning capability is degraded in the following cases.
IIn two-dimensional positioning, when the vehicle's altitude
from the sea level changes, the precision becomes lower.
IThe location detection performance can have an error of about
100 m (300 ft) even in three-dimensional positioning with high
precision. Because the precision is influenced by the location
of GPS satellites used for positioning, the location detection
performance may drop depending on the location of GPS sat-
ellites.
IWhen the radio wave from GPS satellites cannot be received,

GPS signal reception conditions are good. However, the position mark does not return to its proper
position.
Ihe system senses the vehicle location with an error of approximately 100 m (328 ft). Due to the limitation
of precision, the position marker may be inaccurate even if the GPS signal reception condition is good.
IThe navigation system uses GPS data to determine vehicle location. GPS data is compared with other
locational sensing data during the map matching process. The system decides which data is more pre-
cise and uses that data.
IWhen the vehicle is stationary, GPS data cannot be used to make system corrections.
Area designations on the map display and the BIRDVIEWTdisplay differ.
To prevent the display from becoming congested, alphanumeric information is abridged.
[No problem]
Correct position of your vehicle is not displayed.
Vehicle position changed after ignition key was turned to the OFF position (Vehicle is transported on car ferry,
car train, or by some other means).
[Operate vehicle for short time under GPS receiving conditions.]
The display does not change to night-time mode even though the light switch has been turned ON.
Lights have been turned on. In ªDISPLAY CHANGEº mode, night-time mode on display has been switched to
day-time mode and still is.
[Turn lights on again. Set the display to night-time mode. Refer to EL-412.]

Present area does not appear on the display.
[Press the ªMAPº switch.]
Vehicle position marker does not appear.
Present area does not appear on the display.
[Press the ªMAPº switch.]
The map surface precision display (GPS satellite marker) still remains gray.
Vehicle is parked inside a building or in the shadow of a large building. This intercepts the GPS signal.
[Move the vehicle to a more open position.]
GPS signal is not received because objects are placed on the rear parcel shelf.
[Remove objects from the rear parcel shelf.]
GPS satellite position is bad.
[Wait until GPS satellite position improves.]
Vehicle position precision is bad.
The map surface precision display (GPS satellite marker) still remains gray.
[Refer to ªThe map surface precision display (GPS satellite marker) still remains grayº item (Symptoms)]
Vehicle speed and elapsed distance is calculated from the vehicle speed pulse. This pulse is dependent upon
tire size. If tire chains are used on the vehicle, accuracy will be affected (pulse rate will be too fast or too slow).
The same is true if the system installed to your vehicle is removed and installed on another vehicle.
[Drive the vehicle at a speed higher than 30 km/h (19 MPH) for approximately 30 minutes. Automatic read-
justment should occur. If it does not (remains too fast or too slow), distance calibration is required. Or, drive
the vehicle for a short distance. Perform ªSPEED CALIBRATIONº (EL-409). After removing the tire chains,
sensing accuracy may recover by itself.]
Bad map data or system defect (same error consistently occurs in the same area)
ROUTE SEARCH/ROUTE GUIDENBEL0235S03IIf the present location or the destination location is displayed in the avoid area, it is not possible to search
routes.
IIf the avoid area is set to wide range area, it may not be possible to find appropriate routes or search for
alternate routes.
IThe automatic re-route calculates a return to the original route. Because of this, it may not be possible to
search appropriate new routes. If you deviate from the original route and wish to select an appropriate new
route, touch ªRoute Calculationº.
IThe automatic re-route function may sometimes require considerable time.
IDisplayed route number and directional information at a highway junction may differ from the information
posted on the actual road signs.
IDisplayed street name information at a highway exit may differ from the information posted on the actual
road signs.
IStreet name information displayed on the enlarged intersection map may differ from the information posted
on the actual road signs.

tination area. In an area where traffic direction
is displayed separately, pay close attention to
the direction of travel. Set the destination area
and the way point over the road.
Starting point and destination areas are very
near.Move destination areas away from starting
point on the screen.
Recommended route which has
been passed disappears from the
display.The recommended route is divided into indi-
vidual control segments. When way point 1 is
passed, the data from the starting point to the
way point 1 is erased.This is not abnormal.
Search recommends roundabout
route.There may be special conditions for roads
near the starting point and destination area
(one-way traffic, etc.). A roundabout route may
be displayed.Slightly change starting point and destination
area settings.
Landmark display does not show
actual conditions.Mistaken or missing map data may result in
erroneous display.Change map CD.

(indicated by a thick brown line). However,
even if the selected route is a major one,
appropriate route search data may not be
available.
LOCATION OF CAR MARKERNBEL0235S04IIf the vehicle has been parked in a multi-level parking facility or underground parking facility, the car marker
position may be inaccurate immediately after exiting the parking facility.

tional correction may not occur.
