System OverviewYour navigation system is a highly
sophisticated location system with voice
control that uses satellites and a map
database to show you where you are and to
help guide you to a desired destination.
The navigation system receives signals
from the global positioning system (GPS),
a network of 24 satellites in orbit around
the earth. By receiving signals from several
of these satellites, the navigation system
can determine the latitude, longitude, and
elevation of your vehicle. In addition, a
gyroscopic yaw sensor and a vehicle speed
sensor in your vehicle keep track of the
direction and speed of travel at all times.
This vehicle’s navigation display, if so
equipped, includes mercury-containing
components. Upon removal, please reuse,
recycle, or dispose of as hazardous waste.
The navigation system applies this
location, direction, and speed information
to the maps and calculates a route to the
destination you enter. As you drive to that
destination, the system provides map and
voice guidance.NOTICE

Glossary
LCD - 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 is displaying 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

Navi - Abbreviation for the navigation
system.
North Pointer - The map symbol
showing the map orientation (see
page 55).Off Route - This occurs when the user
leaves mapped roads. Off-road
tracking dots (“breadcrumbs”) are
displayed if the option is enabled in
the Setup screen. The user can use
them to return to a mapped road. The
bottom of the navigation screen will
say, “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 they have not been
verified.
PC Card - An adaptor card (sometimes
called a PCMCIA card) that can
contain a compact flash, or SD media
clip with MP3 or WMA music files.
PIN - Personal Identification Number.
A 4-digit number created by the client
to protect personal information.
POI - Point of Interest. These are the
businesses, schools, etc. found under
the Places option on the Enter
destination by screen. See page 31.Polygon - Coloured areas on the map
screen denoting parks, schools, etc.
See Map Screen Legend “Map

infinite number of possible touch
locations. The sensing locations are
confined to a grid of 20 vertical and
10 horizontal touch locations.

VP - Vehicle Position. When in map
mode, this circular icon shows the
vehicle position on the map. Touch
this icon to show the latitude,
longitude, and elevation of your
