An apparent position error can occur where
buildings, tunnels, and ot her objects block or
reflect the GPS signals, forcing the system to use
“dead reckoning” to determine your location
and direction.
Using this function to ad just vehicle position is
not recommended. When the system reacquires
a GPS signal, it will automatically place the
vehicle in the correct location.
If you continually have to adjust the vehicle
position, you may have problems with the GPS
reception or there may be database errors.
