Introduction
Your Acura Navigation System is a
highly-sophisticated location system
that uses satellites and a map
database to show you where you are
and to help guide you to a desired
destination.
The Navigation System receives
signals from the Global Positioning
System, a network of 24 satellites in
orbit around the earth. By receiving
signals from several of these
satellites, the Navigation System can
determine the latitude and longitude
of your car.
In addition, a gyroscopic sensor and
a speed sensor in your car keep track
of the direction and speed of travel at
all times.
The Navigation System applies this
location, direction, and speed
information to the maps and calcu-
lates a route to the destination you
enter. As you drive to that
destination, the System provides
guidance.
The Navigation System is easy to use.
The locations of many places of
business and entertainment are
already entered in the system. You
can select any of them as a desti-
nation by pressing only one or two of
the controls.
If a desired destination is not in the
system's database, you can enter its
address and the system will direct
you to it. This destination can be
saved for reuse at a later date.
As you drive, the Navigation System
provides visual and audio driving
instructions so you do not have to
take your eyes off the road. These
instructions are provided in advance
of the actual driving maneuver so
you have time to slow down and
change lanes if necessary.
Read this manual thoroughly so you
are familiar with all the Navigation
System's features. Afterwards, keep
this manual in the glove box of your
vehicle so you can refer to at any
time.
