ROUTE GUIDANCE
The main features of the NISSAN Navigation
System are visual guidance and voice guidance
in selected map coverage areas. Utilizing a net-
work of GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites, the NISSAN Navigation System tracks
the location on the map and navigates to a pre-
ferred location.
Once you set the destination in a map coverage
area, the NISSAN Navigation System will calcu-
late a route from your current location to your
destination. The real-time map display and turn-
by-turn voice guidance leads the driver along the
route. These features can be especially helpful
when driving to unfamiliar locations.
The system may be unable to set a destination
and/or calculate a route when the destination is
outside the map coverage area. Additionally,
voice guidance may not be available if the desti-
nation is outside the map coverage area. For
more information on how to set a destination, re-
fer to Section 4.
PLACES OF INTEREST (Places) DI-
RECTORY
The NISSAN Navigation System offers an exten-
sive places of interest (Places) directory in map
coverage areas. This directory includes a wide
variety of destinations ranging from gas stations,ATMs, and restaurants to casinos, ski resorts,
shopping centers and businesses. A point of in-
terest can be searched by category, name or
phone number. After selecting a destination, the
NISSAN Navigation System will calculate a
route to that destination.
The Places directory has many uses. For
example, the directory can be sorted by the vari-
ous types of restaurants near the current
location. If an ATM or gas station is needed, the
NISSAN Navigation System can navigate to the
closest preferred location.
For more information on how to use the Places
directory, refer to section 4.
ADDRESS BOOK
The Address Book can store up to 300 locations
from map coverage areas into a personal
directory. This is especially useful for frequently
visited locations, such as clients, relatives and
friends. The Address Book function allows easy
access to frequently visited locations when set-
ting them as your destination.
For more information on how to use the Address
Book, refer to section 6.
AVOID AREA
The Avoid Area function sets areas or freeways
that the NISSAN Navigation System does not in-
clude in the suggested route when calculating
routes. For example, if a freeway or area that is
always congested with traffic.
For more information on the Avoid Area function,
refer to section 6.
XM NAVTRAFFIC
INFORMATION
When available, the XM NavTraffic Information
broadcast may help to avoid delays due to traffic
incidents. Traffic jams, roadwork, closed roads
around the current location, etc. are represented
graphically on the map by icons depicting the
nature of the event. Incidents on the route are
automatically brought to the attention when they
are approached.
The XM NavTraffic Information feature, via the
guidance mode, may help to detour around traf-
fic problems. For more information on the XM
NavTraffic Information feature, refer to section
5.
FEATURES OF THIS NAVIGATION
SYSTEM
10-2General system information

AUTOMATIC REROUTE
When detecting a deviation from the suggested
route, the NISSAN Navigation System will auto-
matically recalculate a new route to the
destination.
For more information on the Automatic reroute
function, refer to section 5.
DETOUR
To make a detour due to traffic conditions, the
Detour function calculates an alternative route.
The NISSAN Navigation System can calculate a
route using secondary roads that will return to
primary roads after a specified number of miles.
For more information on the Detour function, re-
fer to section 5.Birdview™
Birdview™ (3D) map, are available in the
NISSAN Navigation System. Birdview™ map
displays the map from an elevated perspective.
In Birdview™ map, it is easy to recognize an im-
age of the route because it provides a panoramic
view over a long distance.
For more information on Birdview™ map, refer to
section 3.
VOICE GUIDANCE
Route guidance is provided through voice and
visual instructions. Voice guidance announces
the appropriate directions when approaching an
intersection to turn.
For more information on voice guidance, refer to
section 5.
