plotting routes. For example, if you know of a
freeway or area that is always congested with
traffic, you can program the NISSAN Naviga-
tion System to plot routes that go around that
particular freeway or area.
For more information on the Avoid Area fea-
ture, please refer to section 8.
AUTOMA TIC RE-ROUTE
If you miss a turn while using the Route Guid-
ance feature, the NISSAN Navigation System
will automatically recalculate a new route to
your destination.
For more information on the Automatic Re-
Route feature, please refer to section 9.
DETOUR
If you hear about a traffic accident on the radio
that is 4 miles (6 km) ahead of you and traffic
is backing up fast, you can use the Detour func-
tion to calculate an alternative route that will
help you avoid the gridlock caused by the traf-fic accident. The NISSAN Navigation System
has the ability to find an alternative route using
secondary roads that will return you to primary
roads after a specified number of miles.
For more information on the Detour feature,
please refer to section 9.
BIRD VIEWTM
The NISSAN Navigation System gives you a
choice of two map viewing styles, a normal
2-dimensional PLANVIEW map and the
3-dimensional BIRDVIEW
TMmap. The 3-DBIRDVIEW
TMmap depicts a geographic area as
seen from an elevated perspective, so you will
get a better feel for the route ahead.
For more information on the BIRDVIEW
TMfea-
ture, please refer to section 11.
VOICE GUIDANCE
Route guidance is executed using voice and
screen instruction. When the vehicle ap-
proaches an intersection where you need to
turn, the voice guidance tells you the direction
to take.INV1442

route calculation when the vehicle is closer
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

ROUTE CALCULA TION
Symptom Possible cause Remedy
Although the system is set with the moving di-
rection as the preference, it does not find the
route by matching the preference.There is no route found in that direction. This condition is not abnormal.
Route is not indicated. There is no road that can be found by this sys-
tem close to the destination.Reset the destination closer to the road dis-
played in orange. Especially with roads which
have separate lanes for opposite directions, be
careful in setting the destination or waypoints
on it, because results may differ depending on
the lane you choose.
The starting point to the destination is too
close.Set more distant destinations.
The present location is about 1,100 miles
(1,770 km) away from the destination.Set the destination to within 1,100 miles (1,770
km).
The route is not displayed continuously at
waypoints, for example, that are not calculated
route from the vehicle’s current position.Suggested routes may be displayed discontinu-
ously near waypoints as route calculation is
done at each waypoint.This condition is not abnormal.
The suggested route the vehicle has traveled
is erased.Suggested routes are stored in memory by the
blocks; if the vehicle travels past waypoint
block 1, the previous data will be erased.This condition is not abnormal.
