ROUTE GUIDANCE
The main features of the NISSAN Navigation
System are visual guidance and voice guidance
in selected map coverage areas. Utilizing a
network of GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites, the NISSAN Navigation System tracks
the location on the map and navigates to a
preferred location.
Once the destination is set in a map coverage
area, the NISSAN Navigation System will
calculate a route from the current location to
the destination. The real-time map display and
turn-by-turn voice guidance leads the driver
along the route. These features can be espe-
cially 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
destination is outside the map coverage area.
For more information on how to set a destina-
tion, refer to section 4.
PLACES OF INTEREST (Places) DI-
RECTORY
The NISSAN Navigation System offers an
extensive 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 interest 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
various 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
setting 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
include 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 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 NavTraffic Information feature, via the
guidance mode, may help to detour around
traffic problems. For more information on the
NavTraffic Information feature, refer to section 6.
