In map-matching, alternative routes to reach the destination will
be shown and prioritized, after the road on which the vehicle is
currently driven has been judged and the current-location mark
has been repositioned.
If there is an error in distance and/or direction, the alternative
routes will be shown in different order of priority, and the wrong
road can be avoided.
If two roads are running in parallel, they are of the same priority.
Therefore, the current-location mark may appear on either of
them alternately, depending on maneuvering of the steering
wheel and configuration of the road.

Map-matching does not function correctly when the road on
which the vehicle is driving is new and not recorded in the map
DVD-ROM, or when the road pattern stored in the map data and
the actual road pattern are different due to repair.
When driving on a road not present in the map, the map-match-
ing function may find another road and position the current-loca-
tion mark on it. Then, when the correct road is detected, the
current-location mark may leap to it.

Effective range for comparing the vehicle position and travel
direction calculated by the distance and direction with the road
data read from the map DVD-ROM is limited. Therefore, when
there is an excessive gap between the current vehicle position
and the position on the map, correction by map-matching is not possible.
GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
GPS (Global Positioning System) has been developed and con-
trolled by the US Department of Defense. The system utilizes GPS
satellite (NAVSTAR), sending out radio waves while flying on an orbit
around the earth at the height of approx. 21,000 km (13,000 miles).
The GPS receiver calculates the vehicle's position in three dimen-
sions (latitude/longitude/altitude) according to the time lag of the
radio waves received from four or more GPS satellites (three-dimen-
sional positioning). If radio waves were received only from three
GPS satellites, the GPS receiver calculates the vehicle's position in
two dimensions (latitude/longitude), utilizing the altitude data calcu-
lated previously by using radio waves from four or more GPS satel-
lites (two–dimensional positioning).
Accuracy of the GPS will deteriorate under the following conditions.

In two–dimensional positioning, the GPS accuracy will deteriorate when the altitude of the vehicle position
changes.

There may be an error of approximately 10 m (30 ft) in position detected by three-dimensional positioning,
which is more accurate than two–dimensional positioning. The accuracy can be even lower depending on
the arrangement of the GPS satellites utilized for the positioning.

Position detection is not possible when the vehicle is in an area where radio waves from the GPS satellite
do not reach, such as in a tunnel, parking lot in a building, and under an elevated highway. Radio waves
from the GPS satellites may not be received when some object is located over the GPS antenna.

Position correction by GPS is not available while the vehicle is stopped.

Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
NAVI Control Unit

The gyro (angular speed sensor) and the DVD-ROM drive are
built-in units that control the navigation functions.

Signals are received from the gyro, the vehicle speed sensor,
and the GPS antenna. Vehicle location is determined by com-
bining this data with the data contained in the DVD-ROM map.
Locational information is shown on LCD panel.
DVD-ROM Drive
Maps, traffic control regulations, and other pertinent information can
be easily read from the DVD-ROM disc.
Map DVD-ROM

The map DVD-ROM has maps, traffic control regulations, and other pertinent information.

To improve DVD-ROM map matching and route determination functions, the DVD-ROM uses an exclusive
Nissan format. Therefore, the use of a DVD-ROM provided by other manufacturers cannot be used.
Gyro (Angular Speed Sensor)

The oscillator gyro sensor is used to detect changes in vehicle steering angle.

The gyro is built into the navigation (NAVI) control unit.
BIRDVIEW™
The BIRDVIEW™ provides a detailed and easily seen display of road conditions covering the vehicle's imme-
diate to distant area.

Description

Display area: Trapezoidal representation showing approximate
distances (Wn, D, and Wd).

Ten horizontal grid lines indicate display width while six vertical
grid lines indicate display depth and direction.

Pushing the “ZOOM IN” button during operation displays the
scale change and the view point height on the left side of the
screen.
The height of the view point increases or decreases when
“ZOOM” or “WIDE” is selected with the joystick.

Function of each icon is as follows:
1. Azimuth indication.
2. Position marker.
–The tip of the arrow shows the current location. The shaft of the
arrow indicates the direction in which the vehicle is traveling.
3. GPS reception signal (indicates current reception conditions).
4. Distance display (shows the distance in a reduced scale).
