THE CURRENT LOCATION MARK IS IN A RIVER OR THE SEA
The navigation system moves the current location mark with no distinction between land and rivers or sea. If
the location mark is somehow out of place, it may appear that the vehicle is driving in a river or the sea.
WHEN DRIVING ON THE SAME ROAD, SOMETIMES THE CURRENT LOCATION MARK IS IN
THE RIGHT PLACE AND SOMETIMES IT IS THE WRONG PLACE
The conditions of the GPS antenna (GPS data) and gyroscope (angular speed sensor) change gradually.
Depending on the road traveled and the operation of the steering wheel, the location detection results will be
different. Therefore, even on a road on which the location has never been wrong, conditions may cause the
vehicle mark to deviate.
LOCATION CORRECTION BY MAP MATCHING IS SLOW
+The map matching function needs to refer to the data of the surrounding area. It is necessary to drive some
distance for the function to work.
+ Because map matching operates on this principle, when there are many roads running in similar direc-
tions in the surrounding area, no matching determination may be made. The location may not be corrected
until some special feature is found.
ALTHOUGH THE GPS RECEIVING DISPLAY IS GREEN, THE VEHICLE MARK DOES NOT
RETURN TO THE CORRECT LOCATION
+The GPS accuracy has an error of about 10 m (30 ft). In some cases the current location mark may not
be on the correct street, even when GPS location correction is done.
+ The navigation system compares the results of GPS location detection with the results from map-match-
ing location detection. The one which is determined to have higher accuracy is used.
+ GPS location correction may not be performed when the vehicle is stopped.
THE NAME OF THE CURRENT PLACE IS NOT DISPLAYED
The current place name may not be displayed if there are no place names displayed on the map screen.
CONTENTS OF THE DISPLAY DIFFER FOR THE BIRDVIEW TAND THE (FLAT) MAP SCREEN
Difference of the BIRDVIEW Tscreen from the ¯at map screen are as follows.
+ The current place name displays names which are primarily in the direction of vehicle travel.
+ The amount of time before the vehicle travel or turn angle is updated on the screen is longer than for the
(¯at) map display.
+ The conditions for display of place names, roads, and other data are different for nearby areas and for
more distant areas.
+ Some thinning of the character data is done to prevent the display becoming to complex. In some cases
and in some locations, the display contents may differ.
+ The same place name, street name, etc. may be displayed multiple times.
