If you wish to look at a different point on
the map other than your current vehicle
position, you can bring the desired point
to the center of the screen by using the
scroll feature.

lever of the navigation controller. Push the
“ENTER” button on the navigation con-
troller, and select the

current vehicle position mark returns to
the center of the screen and the map
moves as you proceed on your route.

If you enter a destination using the
screen scrolling function, the road
nearest to the point you selected is
set as the destination. At this time, if
the nearest road is over 4 miles from
destination point, the system may not
be able to calculate a guidance route.
You can change the orientation of the
map from Northup to Headingup.

ingup of the right screen map, se-
lect the
“Right screen” switch.
4. Select the “Map orient.” of the
“Edit right screen”, and then the
Northup/Headingup of the right
screen is switched.
When 2 map screens are displayed, you
can set one as the North −up and the oth-

current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However, an accurate position
may not be shown depending on the
satellite condition, road configuration,
vehicle condition or other circum-
stances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense provides an accurate cur-
rent vehicle position using 3 to 4
satellites. The GPS system has a certain
level of inaccuracy built in for security
reasons. While the navigation system will
compensate for this most of the time, oc-
casional positioning errors of up to 300
feet (100 m) can and should be expected.
Generally, position errors will be corrected
within a few seconds.
