INFO:
For approximately 3 or 4 minutes after system
startup, the GPS indicator
remains gray,
even if accurate positioning is possible.
POSITIONING ADJUSTMENTWhen the system judges that the vehicle posi-
tion information is not accurate based on vehicle
speed and gyro sensor data calculations, the
system will adjust the vehicle position informa-
tion using GPS signals.RECEIVING SIGNALS FROM GPS
SATELLITESSometimes, satellite reception is weak. The fol-
lowing are places where signals tend to be
weak:
Inside tunnels and parking garages
Areas with numerous tall buildings
Under multi-layered highways
In a dense forest
Vehicles in these areas may not receive GPS
signals (Indicator color: gray).INFO:
The antenna for GPS is located on the instru-
ment panel inside the vehicle.Do not place any
objects, especially mobile phones or trans-
ceivers, 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 INFORMATIONThis system displays GPS information.
Please refer to “GPS information display” on
page 11-17.
NOTE:
Directional guidance provided by the navi-
gation system does not take carpool lane
driving into consideration, especially when
carpool lanes are separated from other
road lanes.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 properly. Infor-
mation 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 includes 2 types of areas: “Detailed
coverage areas” providing all detailed road data
and other areas showing “Main roads only”.
NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in many
areas and is generally limited to select
major metropolitan areas.

How does the NISSAN Navigation System work?
2-3
04.7.6/Z33-N
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 location
to your destination. The moving map display 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, audio
route guidance may not be available if the des-
tination is outside a detailed map coverage area.
For more information on how to program a
destination, please refer to section 5.The NISSAN Navigation System offers an exten-
sive Point of Interest directory in detailed map
coverage areas. This directory includes a wide
variety of destinations ranging from gas stations,
ATMs, 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 ATM or gas station, the
NISSAN Navigation System can point 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.Using the Address Book feature, you will have
the ability to store up to 50locations 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 frequently visited loca-
tions when setting them as your destination.

dress Book, please refer to section 7.ROUTE GUIDANCE
