MAP-MATCHING
Map-matching compares a current location detected by the method
in the “Location Detection Principle” with a road map data from DVD-
ROM stored in DVD-ROM drive.
NOTE:
The road map data is based on data stored in the DVD-ROM.
The vehicle position may not be corrected under the following circumstances and after driving for a certain
time when GPS information is difficult to receive. In this case, the current-location mark on the display must be
corrected manually.
In map-matching, alternative routes to reach the destination will
be shown and prioritized, after the road on which the vehicle is
currently driven has been judged and the current-location mark
has been repositioned.
If there is an error in distance and/or direction, alternative routes
will be shown in different order of priority, and the incorrect road
can be avoided.
If two roads are running in parallel, they are of the same priority.
Therefore, the current-location mark may appear on either of
them alternately, depending on maneuvering of the steering
wheel and configuration of the road.
Map-matching does not function correctly when a road on which
the vehicle is driving is new and not recorded in the DVD-ROM,
or when road pattern stored in the map data and the actual road
pattern are different due to repair.
When driving on a road not present in the map, the map-match-
ing function may find another road and position the current-loca-
tion mark on it. Then, when the correct road is detected, the
current-location mark may change to it.
Effective range for comparing the vehicle position and travel
direction calculated by the distance and direction with the road
data read from the DVD-ROM is limited. Therefore, when there
is an excessive gap between current vehicle position and the
position on the map, correction by map-matching is not possible.
