The main feature of the NISSAN Navigation Sys-
tem is Visual and Audio Route Guidance in se-
lected 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 de-
termine 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 calcu-
late distance when a destination is outside a de-
tailed map coverage area. Additionally, audio
route guidance may not be available if the desti-
nation 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 (POI) directory in detailed
map coverage areas for your convenience. This
directory includes a wide variety of destinations
ranging from gas stations, ATMs, and restau-
rants to casinos, ski resorts, shopping centers
and businesses. By accessing the Point of Inter-
est directory, you can search for addresses and
phone numbers for a destination, and with a
press of a button, the NISSAN Navigation Sys-
tem 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 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 frequently visited loca-
tions when setting them as your destination.
For more information on how to use your Ad-
dress Book, please refer to section 7.
