DETOURTo 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,
refer to section 5.Birdview

VOICE GUIDANCERoute guidance is provided through voice and
visual instructions. Voice guidance announces
the appropriate directions when approaching an
intersection to turn.

section 5.
DISPLAY OF CURRENT VEHICLE LO-
CATIONThis navigation system combines the data
obtained from the vehicle (by gyro sensor) and
from GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites
to calculate the current location of the vehicle.
This position is then displayed throughout route
guidance to a destination.WHAT IS GPS (Global Positioning
System)?GPS is a position detecting system that uses
satellites deployed by the U.S. government. This
navigation system receives radio signals from
three or more different satellites that orbit
13,049 miles (21,000 km) above the earth in
space, and detects the position of the vehicle by
utilizing the principle of triangulation.Positioning adjustmentWhen the system judges that the vehicle
position information is not accurate based on
vehicle speed and gyro sensor data calculations,
the system will automatically adjust the position
of the vehicle icon using GPS signals.

General system information
Receiving signals from GPS satellitesThe reception of GPS signals can be weak,
depending on the environment. Vehicles in the
following areas/environments may not receive
GPS signals (indicator color: gray) .*
Inside tunnels or parking garages
*
Areas with numerous tall buildings
*
Under multi-layered highways
*
Under many large trees
*
In a canyonINFO:
The GPS antenna is located on the instrument
panel inside the vehicle. Do not place any
objects, especially mobile phones or transcei-
vers, on the instrument panel. Because the
strength of the GPS signal is approximately one
billionth of that of TV waves, phones and
transceivers will affect or may totally disrupt
the signal.
Display of GPS informationGPS information can be displayed.

Route guidance provided by the navigation
system does not take carpool lane driving
into consideration, especially when car-
pool lanes are separated from other road
lanes.

INFO:
. The vehicle icon may be misaligned when
starting the vehicle just after starting the
engine.
. The vehicle icon may also be misaligned if
different sized tires or tire chains are
installed.
. The system has a function that automatically
corrects the vehicle icon position when it is
misaligned from the actual position.
. Vehicle position correction by GPS may not
function when the vehicle is stopped.
. If the vehicle icon position does not return to
normal even after driving for a while, correct
the vehicle icon position manually.

DETAILED MAP COVERAGE AREAS
(MCA) FOR NAVIGATION SYSTEMThis system is designed to help guiding to the
destination, and it also performs other functions
as outlined in this manual. However, the system
must be used safely and properly. Information
concerning road conditions, traffic signs and the
availability of services may not always be up-to-
date. The system is not a substitute for safe,
proper and legal driving. Map data covers select metropolitan areas in the United States and
Canada.
Map data includes two types of areas: “Detailed
coverage areas” providing all detailed road data
and other areas showing “Main roads only”.
NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in many
areas and is generally limited to select
major metropolitan areas.
WHEN GRAY ROAD IS DISPLAYED
ON MAP. When you are driving on a road displayed in
gray after the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route during route guidance,
automatic rerouting may not start immedi-
ately.
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in dark
green. Therefore, if the destination is set on
a road displayed in dark green, the enlarged
map display will return to the ordinary map
screen at some point on a suggested route
that is near the destination. Also, voice
guidance will stop at some point on a
suggested route that is near the destination.
. Places information and street names near
roads displayed in gray may not be con- tained in the map data.

General system information
. There may be cases that carpool lanes are
included on a suggested route when the
automatic rerouting function is activated,
even if the “Use Time Restricted Roads” is
turned off.
“Setting conditions for route calcula-
tion” (page 5-23)
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in dark
green.
. If the destination is set on a dark green road,
the enlarged map display will switch to the
ordinary map screen at some point and
suggest a route that is near the destination.
The distance and direction to the endpoint
of the suggested route will be displayed in
the lower right corner of the screen. Also, at
this time, voice guidance will announce,
“The route to the destination includes roads
through incomplete map areas. Voice gui-
dance will not be provided in these areas”.
When approaching the endpoint of the
suggested route, voice guidance will an-
nounce, “Entering the road with incomplete
map data. Use the direction arrow and
distance information to proceed to your
destination.”
To reach the destination, refer to the map
screen. Always follow actual roads and regulations and drive safely.
. The suggested route may not be the short-
est, nor are other circumstances such as
traffic jams considered.
. Because of the inevitable difference in road
conditions and circumstances between the
time you use this system and the time the
information was produced for the map data,
there may be discrepancies in roads and
regulations. In such cases, follow the actual
information available.
. During route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move
with the actual vehicle’s movement.
. During route calculation, buttons such as

[ Edit: 2011/ 6/ 13 Model: 08NJ-N ]
— If it is impossible to reach the destination or waypoints because of traffic regula-
tions, etc.
— If the only route to reach the destination or waypoints is extremely complicated.
— If the destination, current vehicle position or waypoint is within the “Avoid Area”.
— If a part of the route is included in the “Avoid Area”.
. The following may occur when the route is
displayed.
— If you calculate a route on a main road, the starting point of the route may not
exactly match the current vehicle loca-
tion.
— The endpoint of the route may not exactly match the destination.
— If you calculate a route on a main road, the system may display a route from
another main road. This may be because
the position of the vehicle icon is not
accurate. In this case, park the vehicle in
a safe location and reset the vehicle icon,
or continue driving to see if the position
of the vehicle icon is automatically
adjusted before recalculating the route. — There are cases in which the system
shows an indirect route to reach the
destination or waypoints, if you set them
from stored or facility information. In
order to correct this, you must be careful
about the traffic direction, especially
when lanes with different travel directions
are shown separately, such as inter-
changes and service areas.
— This system makes no distinction be- tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show an
indirect route even if the road is usable.
— Even if the freeway preference is set to OFF, a route that uses the freeway may
be suggested.
— Even if the ferry preference is set to OFF, a route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.
— Ferry lines, excluding those that are only for pedestrians, bicycles and motor-
cycles, are stored in this system. Take
into consideration the travel time required
and operational condition before decid-
ing whether to use them or not.
INFO:
The system will only announce street names
when the system language is set to English.
Street names are not announced when the
system is set to Franc¸ ais (French) .
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCEVoice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
NOTE:
. There may be some cases in which
voice guidance and actual road condi-
tions do not correspond. This may
occur because of discrepancies be-
tween the actual road and the informa-
tion on the map data, or it is due to the
vehicle’s speed.
. In case voice guidance does not corre-
spond to the actual road conditions,
follow the information obtained from
traffic signs or notices on the road.
. Route guidance provided by the navi-
gation system does not take carpool
lane driving into consideration, espe-
cially when carpool lanes are separated
from other road lanes.

General system information
INFO:
. If is pushed when the vehicle is
deviating from the suggested route and
when the automatic reroute function is off,
voice guidance will announce, “Proceed to
the highlighted route.”
. If is pushed when the vehicle is
going in the wrong direction, voice guidance
will announce: “Please make a legal U-turn if
possible.”
NOTES ON VOICE GUIDANCE. Voice guidance in this system should be
regarded as a supplem entary function.
When driving the vehicle, check the route
on the map and follow the actual roads and
traffic regulations.
. Voice guidance is activated only for inter-
sections with certain conditions. There may
be cases that the vehicle has to turn, but
voice guidance is not provided.
. Voice guidance contents may vary, depend-
ing on the direction of the turn and the type
of intersection.
. The voice guidance timing will vary depend-
ing on the situation. .
When the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route, voice guidance is not
available. The system will not announce this.
Refer to the map and recalculate the route.
“Recalculating route” (page 5-21)
. Voice guidance may not accurately corre-
spond with road numbers and directions at
freeway junctions.
. Voice guidance may not accurately corre-
spond to street names at freeway exits.
. The displayed street names may sometimes
differ from the actual names, or “UN-
KNOWN STREET NAME” may be dis-
played.
. Voice guidance is not available when the
[Guidance Voice] is turned off.“Turning voice guidance ON/OFF”
(page 2-22)
. Voice guidance will start when the vehicle
enters the suggested route. Refer to the
map for directions to the starting point of the
route.
. When approaching a waypoint, voice gui-
dance will announce, “You have arrived at
waypoint 1 (2, 3, 4,...) .” Voice guidance will
switch to the next section of the route. When
voice guidance is not available, refer to the
map for directions. .
In some cases, voice guidance ends before
arrival at the destination. Refer to the
destination icon on the map to reach the
destination.
. If the system recognizes on which side the
destination (waypoint) is located, voice
guidance will announce “on the right/left”
after announcing the arrival at the destina-
tion.
. Voice guidance may be partially operational
or inoperative due to the angle of roads at an
intersection.
. Because freeway lane information is avail-
able only for approximately 7,000 major
freeways in North America, it is not possible
to display information for all junctions and
exits.
. Freeway exit information may differ from the
information on the actual exit signs.
. Because it is not possible to consider data
concerning roads that are seasonally avail-
able or unavailable, a route may be displayed
that does not match the actual traffic
restrictions. Be sure to follow the actual
traffic restrictions while driving.
. Canada and Alaska contain many roads with
incomplete map data. As a result, when
searching for a route, the route may include
