successfully completed. It is displayed every
time you start your vehicle. Press u to

Map Matching
Map matching is the process of using the
acquired GPS information to locate your
position on the map screen. If you are on a
mapped road, the name of the road is
displayed along the bottom of the map
screen when map matching is completed.
Do not enter a destination until the road
name is displayed.
The system may initially show your location
on a different street (e.g., in urban areas
where streets are close together), may
show an incorrect elevation, or may delay
the display of the vehicle position icon at
intersections. This is normal; the system
will correct itself while you drive.
