The navigation unit calculates the vehicle position and guides you to the destination. The unit performs map matching
correction, GPS correction, and distance tuning. It also controls the menu functions and the DVD-ROM drive, and
interprets voice commands. With control of all these items, the navigation unit makes the navigation picture signal,
then it transmits the signal to the navigation display and audio driving instructions to the audio unit.
The navigation unit calculates the vehicle position (the driving direction and the current position) by receiving the
directional change signals from the yaw rate sensor and the travel distance signals from the PCMs vehicle speed pulse
(VSP) signal.
The map matching tuning is accomplished by indicating the vehicle position on the roads on the map. The map data
transmitted from the DVD-ROM is checked against the vehicle position data, and the vehicle position is indicated on
the nearest road. Map matching tuning does not occur when the vehicle travels on a road not shown on the map, or
when the vehicle position is far away from a road on the map.
The GPS tuning is accomplished by indicating the vehicle position as the GPS’s vehicle position. The navigation unit
compares its calculated vehicle position data with the GPS vehicle position data. If there is large difference between
the two, the indicated vehicle position is adjusted to the GPS vehicle position.
The distance tuning reduces the difference between the travel distance signal from the VSP and the distance data on
the map. The navigation unit compares its calculated vehicle position data with the GPS vehicle position data. The
navigation unit then decreases the tuning value when the vehicle position is always ahead of the GPS vehicle position,
and it increases the tuning value when the vehicle position is always behind the GPS vehicle position.
The navigation unit can calculate different routes to a selected destination. You have five options:
Direct Route Calculate a route that is the most direct.
Easy Route Calculate a route that minimizes the number of turns needed.
Minimize Freeways Calculate a route that avoids freeway travel. If that is not possible, keep the am ount of
freeway travel to a minimum.
Minimize Toll Roads Calculate a route that avoids, or minimizes travel on toll roads.
Maximize Freeways Calculate a route that uses freeways as much as possible.
The navigation unit transmits audio driving instructions before entering an intersection or passing a junction.
The audio instructions come through the audio unit to the front speakers.
NOTE: The front speakers are muted whenever the navigation system is giving guidance commands, and all of the
speakers are muted when the voice control system is being used.
The map data (including all scale rates) is stored in the DVD-ROM. The map data includes: Road distances, road widths, speed limits, traffic regulations, passing time at junction, distances to junctions, and the driving instructions for audio guidance.
Latitude and longitude GPS.

Liquid Crystal Display (the navigation screen)
Map matching The received GPS information allows the navigation system to position the vehicle on the map. MAP
matching has occurred if the map screen displays the current street name in the bottom-shaded area.
Mic Abbreviation for the microphone used for receiving voice commands. It is located near the map light in the
ceiling. The ANC circuit may also use it to check its tuning.
MID Multi-Information Display
MW Maneuver Window. While on route to a destination, this window displays information about the next
maneuver.
Navi Abbreviation for the Navigation System.
Off-road tracking See bread-crumbs.
Off route This occurs when the user leaves mapped roads. Off road tracking dots (bread-crumbs) are displayed If the
option is enables in the setup menu. The user can use them to return to a mapped road. The bottom of the
navigation screen displays not on a digitized road.
Outlying areas These are rural areas that typically have only their main roads mapped. All other roads are shown in light
brown for reference only, since the have not been verified.
Paired Linking your call phone to the HFL.
PC Card Slot The PC Card (PCMCIA, type II) slot is for factory use only. Make sure that the sliding door is closed at all
times, if opened, an error message is displayed on the screen.
PCM Powertrain Control Module. This unit supplies the navigation system speed signal, also refered to as PCM.
PCMCIA A computer industry defined term referring to the PC Card slot standard.
PIN Personal Identification Number, a random 4 digit number created by the customer to protect personal
information.
POI Point Of Interest. These are the businesses, schools, etc. found under the places option on the main menu.
Polygon Colored areas on the map screen denoting parks, schools, etc. See the Navigation System Manual Driving to
Your Destination for a list of the assigned colors.
QWERTY Keyboard layout resembling the typewriter keys. The keyboard layout can be changed to an alphabetical
layout in the Setup mode.
SCS connector The service check signal 2-pin connector used to put the navigation system into the diagnostic mode.
Security code Code needed to activate the navigation system. You can get the security code from the in by entering the
navigation unit serial number. You can find the serial number on the diagnostic screens (unit check, Navi
ECU), or on the underside of the navigation unit.
Tuning A continual update of internal navigation system scaling factors. See the individual sensor tuning
discussions under either System Description, or System Diagnosis Mode (see page 23-297).
Unverified streets These streets have not been verified for turn restrictions, one-way, etc. They appear light brown on the map.
You can enter address destinations in these areas, but depending on your Unverified. Routing choice in
setup, voice guidance may end at the last verified street closest to your destination.
USB Universal Serial Bus. The USB is used for playing the compressed audio files (MP3, WMA, and AAC) on the
external device through the audio unit.
Verified streets These streets consist of the detailed metropolitan coverage areas, and other inter-town connection roads.
These roads are shown in black or red on the map. (interstates are red)
VP Vehicle Position. When in map mode, this circular icon shows the vehicle position on the map.
VR Voice Recognition. This allows voice control of many of the navigation functions. The hardware consists of
the microphone, voice control switch (navigation TALK/BACK buttons), and the center speaker. See the
overview for more information.
VSP Vehicle Speed Pulse. This pulse signal coming from the PCM (VIA the CSS) is used to update the Vehicle
position on the map. These pulses do not indicate direction (forward or backward). When in reverse, the
navigation receives a signal and directs the VP to move backwards on the map.
XM This device receives information from the XM satellites and passes XM audio information to the audio unit.
In addition, traffic information is sent to the navigation unit.
Yaw sensor This device is located in the navigation system control unit and senses the side-to-side twisting force
generated when the vehicle turns. See a detailed description of how this sensor works in system description.
