AREAS (MCA) FOR THE
NA VIGA TION SYSTEM
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 prop-
erly . Information 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
information 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) for U.S., and at 1-800-777-0325 for
CANADA.
Map data includes 2 types of areas: “Detailed
coverage areas” providing all detailed roaddata and other areas showing “Main roads
only”.
NOTE:

many areas and is generally limited to
select major metropolitan areas.

WHEN A GRAY ROAD IS DIS-
PLAYED ON THE MAP

Route calculation may not be possible when
a destination or the current vehicle location
is near a gray road.

When setting a destination, the road near
the cross cursor blinks. For gray roads,
however , the road may not blink.
When you are driving on a gray road after
the vehicle has deviated from the suggested
route during route guidance, automatic re-
routing may not start immediately .

Route guidance (enlarged view and voice
guidance) may not be done at the intersec-
tion where the road your vehicle is driving
on and a gray road intersect.

POI information and street names near gray
roads are not contained in the map data.
HOW DOES THE NISSAN NAVIGATION SYSTEM WORK?
2-4

ROUTE GUIDANCE
The main feature of the NISSAN Navigation
System is Visual and Audio Route Guidance in
selected 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 loca-
tion to your destination. The moving map dis-
play and turn-by-turn voice commands help
the driver determine 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 cal-
culate distance when a destination is outside
a detailed map coverage area. Additionally , au-
dio route guidance may not be available if the
destination is outside a detailed map coveragearea. For more information on how to program
a destination, please refer to section 5.
POINT OF INTEREST (POI)
DIRECTORY
The NISSAN Navigation System offers an ex-
tensive Point of Interest directory in detailed
map coverage areas. This directory includes a
wide variety of destinations ranging from gas
stations, A TMs, and restaurants to casinos, ski
resorts, shopping centers and businesses. By
accessing the Point of Interest directory , you
can search for addresses and phone numbers
for a destination, and with a press of a button,
the NISSAN Navigation System 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 A TM or gas
station, the NISSAN Navigation System canpoint 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.ADDRESS BOOK
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 these frequently visited
locations when setting them as your destina-
tion.
For more information on how to use your ad-
dress book, please refer to section 7.
A VOID AREA
By using the Avoid Area feature, you can iden-
tify areas or freeways that you would like the
NISSAN Navigation System to avoid when
