General Information
(10) The vehicle's mark could deviate from its actual position after
the tires have been replaced.
■ How the vehicle position is detected
Detecting the vehicle's position through the GPS
GPS stands for "Global Positioning Sy stem", which is a system used for
detecting an object's position through the use of satellites of the U.S.
Department of Defense.
Radiowave signals from three or more satellites are received by the
navigation system, which utilizes th e principle of triangulation to
detect the position at which the radiowave signals are received.
When the navigation unit is receiving the GPS radiowave signals, a
"GPS" mark will appear on the map screen.
Detecting the vehicle's position through self-contained naviga-
tion
Self-contained navigation is a system that detects the vehicle's posi-
tion by calculating the vehicle's driven distance and turning angle
though the use of various types of sensors that are mounted on the
vehicle.
Through the use of self-contained navigation, the vehicle's position
can be detected even in an area where the GPS radiowave signals
cannot be received.
Making corrections to the detection of the vehicle's position
through map matching
• In map matching, the position information resulting from the
detection of the vehicle's position and the locus of the travel of
the vehicle up to the present ar e constantly compared to the shape of the roads on the map in
order to correct the vehicle's
position mark to the most appropriate road.
• If the vehicle is driven on a road whose actual shape differs from
its map data, the vehicle's position mark on the map could devi-
ate from its actual position.
Occasionally, the correction of th e vehicle's position mark to the
actual road on the map can be observed, particularly after the
vehicle has turned at an intersection or has exited from a parking
area.
■ Accuracy of the route guidance
The conditions listed below do not indicate a malfunction.
(1) The guidance might prompt the driver to drive straight even
though the vehicle is being driven on a straight road.
(2) The directional guidance could display multiple place names.
(3) If the vehicle makes a turn at an intersection before the guided route, the wrong type of voice guidance could be outputted.
(4) The guidance might not be ou tputted while the vehicle is mak-
ing a turn at an intersection.
(5) The system might not be able to search for the proper route.
(6) If there is no road to the destination or if there is only a narrow road, the route might be indicated up to an area that is short of
the destination.
(7) The repeat search could take a long time while the vehicle is being driven at high speeds.
(8) While the system is searching again for the route, the route indi- cation might not appear in time for the next right or left turn.
(9) The route might not change ev en if a search is made again.
