2004 NISSAN 350Z ESP

INFO:
For approximately 3 or 4 minutes after system
startup, the GPS indicator
remains gray ,
even if accurate positioning is possible.
POSITIONING ADJUSTMENT
When the system judges that the vehicle po-
sition information is not accurate based on ve-
hicle speed and gyro sensor data calculations,
the system will adjust the vehicle position in-
formation using GPS signals.
RECEIVING SIGNALS FROM
GPS SATELLITES
Sometimes, satellite reception is weak. The fol-
lowing are places where signals tend to be
weak:

Inside tunnels and parking lots in structures

Areas with numerous tall buildings

Under multi-layered highways

In a dense forestVehicles in these areas may not receive GPS
signals (Indicator color: gray).
INFO:
The antenna for GPS is located in the instru-
ment panel.Do not place any objects, es-
pecially mobile phones or transceivers,
on the instrument panel. Because the
strength of the GPS signal is approximately
one billionth of that of TV waves, phones and
transceivers will decrease the strength or may
totally disrupt the signals.
DISPLAY OF GPS INFORMA-
TION
This system displays GPS information.
Please refer to “GPS information display” on
page 11-13.NOTE:
Directional guidance provided by the
navigation system does not take carpool
lane driving into consideration, espe-
cially when carpool lanes are separated
from other road lanes.
HOW DOES THE NISSAN NAVIGATION SYSTEM WORK?

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

ABOUT ROUTE GUIDANCE

The NISSAN Navigation System may
not calculate routes longer than
about 1,100 miles (1,770 km). If your
trip is longer than 1,100 miles (1,770
km), please divide your trip by se-
lecting one or two intermediate des-
tinations. Set your destination as the
first intermediate destination. Once
you pass the intermediate destina-
tion, you may set your final destina-
tion as your destination if it is within
1,100 miles (1,770 km). Otherwise,
set your destination using your sec-
ond intermediate destination.
NOTE:
The navigation system does not take
driving in “carpool lanes” into consid-
eration for the guidance, especially
when carpool lanes are separated from
other road lanes.
NOTES ON ROUTE GUIDANCE

The route selected by the system may not
be the shortest, nor are other circumstances
such as traffic jams considered.

Because of the inevitable difference in road
conditions and circumstances between the
time you use this system and the time the
information was produced for the DVD,
there may be discrepancies in roads and
regulations. In such cases, follow the actual
information available.

During route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move
with the actual vehicle’s movement.

During route calculation, buttons such as
MAP , DEST , ZOOM OUT and
ZOOM IN and the joystick will be dis-
abled.

In some cases, after the calculation is com-
plete, it may take some time to get the cal-
culated route on the display .
Waypoints that have been passed will not
be covered by the re-routing calculation.

If you scroll the map while the suggested
route is being drawn, it may take more time
to finish drawing.

If waypoints are set, the system is calculat-
ing multiple routes between waypoints si-
multaneously , and the following may result.
— If one section (or more) of the routes be-
tween the waypoints is not found, none of
the route will be displayed.
— The route may not connect completely at
some waypoints.
— The route may require a U-turn close to
some waypoints.

Route calculation may not be completed in
the following cases.
— If there is no main road within 3.1 miles (5
km) from the vehicle, a message saying so
will appear on the screen. T ry requesting

to the main road.
— If there is no main road within 3.1 miles (5
km) from the destination or waypoint, a
message saying so will appear on the
screen. T ry setting the location closer to the
main road.
— If the vehicle is too close to the destination
or if there are no branches of the roads to
the destination. A message saying so will
appear on the screen.
— If it is deemed impossible to reach the des-
tination or waypoints because of traffic
regulations, etc.
— If the only route to reach the destination or
waypoints is extremely complicated.
— If the destination, current vehicle position
or waypoint is within the avoid area.
— If the setting of avoid areas covers the
routes to the destination, route calculationmay not be possible.

The following may occur when the route is
being displayed.
— If you are requesting a calculation from the
main road, the origin of the route may not
exactly match the current vehicle position.
— If you are requesting a calculation to the
destination on the main road, the end of the
route may not exactly match the destination.
— If you are requesting a calculation from the
main road, the system may show a route
from another main road. This may be be-
cause the icon to show the current vehicle
position (vehicle icon) is not set accurately .
In that case, park the car in a safe place and
reset the vehicle icon, or continue driving
to see if the vehicle icon appears on the
main road before requesting route calcula-
tion again.
— There are cases in which the system shows
a detoured route to reach the destination orwaypoints, if you set them from memory or
facility information. In order to correct this,
you will have to be careful about the traffic
direction, especially when the lanes with
different travel directions are shown sepa-
rately . Such places are interchanges and
service areas.
— This system makes no distinction between
limited traffic control and total control
(blockage). It may show a detoured route
even if the road is usable.
— Even if the freeway preference is set to OFF ,
the route may be set on them. T o avoid this,
set a waypoint on another road type and re-
quest calculation.
— Even if the preference is set to OFF for a
ferry line, the route may be set on it. T o
avoid this, set a waypoint on a road and re-
quest calculation.
— Ferry lines, except those which accept only
pedestrians, bicycles and motorcycles, are
