Lincoln Navigation System Features
Get Directions for Life
With the Lincoln Navigation System, Lincoln makes life, 
and traveling, easier.Voice Commands
To aid and assist drivers by providing 
the ability to interact with the navigation 
& audio system, the vehicle is equipped
with voice recognition capability. To
engage the voice command system, the
VOICE switch located on the steeringwheel must be pressed each time a 
command is spoken. See owner’s guide
for a complete list of commands and 
some are listed below. Speak commands
in natural voice after hearing the beep.The Lincoln Navigation System uses an 
on-board computer that interacts with the
GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites,
vehicle sensors and the Map Database 
to give you the precise location of your
vehicle and guide you to your destination.
Vehicle location is gathered by a combi-
nation of three navigation calculations:
GPS signal, dead-reckoning and map-
matching.
The 
GPS signalis obtained through the
GPS receiver located on your Lincoln.
There are currently 24 earth-orbiting 
GPS satellites that are constantly transmit-
ting time radio signals. Your Lincoln
Navigation System requires a minimum 
of four satellites at any given time to cal-
culate your vehicle’s position. GPS signals
may be temporarily lost when traveling in
tunnels, mountains or areas with large
buildings. The Lincoln Navigation System
will continue to function as normal despite
the temporary GPS signal loss because 
of dead-reckoning.
Dead-reckoningallows the Lincoln
Navigation System to accurately predict
the vehicle position despite the degrada-
tion or loss of a GPS signal. A speed 
sensor on the wheels of your Lincoln 
and an internal gyroscope provide the
navigation system with distance and 
direction data respectively, that is then
used to store a highly accurate image of
the path your vehicle has traveled. This
information, used in conjunction with 
map-matching, enables the system to 
provide precise guidance advice despite
the temporary loss of a GPS signal.
Map-matchingis the process of 
comparing the vehicle’s position, heading,
distance and speed data produced by 
the vehicle sensors against the data from
the map database, to determine the most
likely location of the vehicle relative to 
the map.
The display menus that prompt you for
your destination selection are part of 
the navigation software. The navigation
software is stored in the navigation 
system and interacts with a map database
DVD to guide you through the process 
of selecting your destination.

you’re headed, wherever you go.
• No more reading maps – the system
will be able to route you across the
continental United States and parts 
of Canada.
• Need to know where to exit for local
attractions? No problem. The system
pinpoints millions of points of interest,
in 53 different categories, and shows
you how to get where you want to go.
• Even in a strange city, you’ll feel more
secure with directions to everything
from police stations to gas stations. You 
can even use the 
voice recognition
software to verbally request the 
system to route you to some important
points of interest.• When you are looking for entertain-
ment, find restaurants, golf courses,
tourist attractions and other venues.
• For convenience, get instant directions
to the nearest ATM or bank, or even 
to hotels, airports and shopping.
• Plan your entire day’s route before you
travel. The system allows you to select
5 way points to route through to get 
to your final destination.
• The system even relieves some of 
the headaches of driving, gives you
driving directions that account for
important details for the road you’re
on, including one-ways, turn restric-
tions, highway dividers, and other 
navigable attributes.
