2D/3D GPS reception
The GPS receiver uses signals from satellites to calculate its current
position (the user's position), but to acquire a 3D position at least four
signals are necessary, including alti tude. The GPS device may not be
able to acquire signals from four sate llites as they are constantly moving
and obstacles may block satellite signals. Although the accuracy
decreases when only three signals ca n be acquired, and altitude data
cannot be sent, the receiver can ca lculate a latitude and longitude GPS
position. Only 2D reception is possible.
Route being navigated
The route currently being navigated. When a destination is set, the
route will be continuously navigate d until the destination is deleted,
you arrive at the destination, or the software is closed. Also see “Route”.
City center
The center of the city/town is not th e geographical center of the city/
town, but a location set by the cartog rapher. In towns and villages, this
is usually the most important intersec tion, while in larger cities it is
selected from multiple important intersections.
Color design
The color design used for the map an d menu screens differs for daytime
and nighttime. Each design has a different graphic setting, with 2D and
3D each having colors for roads, bl ocks, seas, and lakes, whilst shadow
changes and shadows are displayed differently in 3D mode.
Daytime screen and nighttime scr een designs for the map and menu
are selected one at a time. The desi gn changes automatically when day
becomes night and night becomes day. GPS accuracy
Various factors can contribute to a margin of error between the user's
actual position and the position
acquired from the GPS device. For
example, signal delays in the iono sphere or reflections from objects
around the GPS equipment, can infl uence the accuracy with which the
GPS device can calculate the user's position.
Maps
Although this software uses digita l maps, these are not simply digital
conversions from printed maps. The 2D mode digital map represents
roads in the same way as a traditional printed map, using color
classifications to show streets, roads, and changes in altitude.
In 3D mode, you can confirm differ ences in altitude for mountains,
valleys, highland roads and so on, an d display areas of cities using 3D
landmarks and 3D images of buildings.
The digital map can be used intera ctively. You can zoom in and out
(enlarge/reduce), tilt up and down, an d rotate left and right. By using
navigation that supports GPS, you ca n easily plan your route with the
digital maps.
North Up Map Direction
North Up mode rotates the map so th at North is always at the top of
the map. You can use this direction with Find On Map and so on. Also
see “Heads-up Map Direction”.

Glossary
Route
The route is an ordered arrangement of the route events (the next
change in the route - right or left turns, roundabouts, and so on),
presenting them as they occur until you reach your destination. If there
is one starting point, there must be at least one destination. On startup,
the start point is the current position (or the last confirmed position). If
you need to check a route that is not currently being driven, you can
move the start point to wherever you want.
Heads-up Map Direction
Heads-up mode rotates the map so that the direction you are currently
traveling is always at the top of the map. This is the default direction in
3D map display mode. Also see “North Up Map Direction”.
Glossary
To enhance your enjoyment of this pr oduct, please familiarize yourself
with the following terms. • GPS (Global Positioning System)
GPS is a system that detects the current location (latitude, longitude,
altitude) by receiving radio waves fr om 4 or more GPS satellites in
normal situations, or sometimes from 3 satellites.
These satellites are launched and managed by the US Department of
Defense mainly for military use, bu t they are also open for private
use. This unit performs navigati on using GPS information, various
sensors, and road map data.

•Wide area map, detailed map
The wide area map is a map of a la rge area, and the detailed map is a
map of a small area. The scales of the maps are 1/20,480,000,
1/10,240,000, 1/5,120,000, 1/ 2, 560,000, 1/1,280,000, 1/640,000,
1/320,000, 1/160,000, 1/80,000, 1/40,000, 1/20,000, 1/10,000, and
1/5,000.
• Positioning
The quality of the GPS positioning is displayed in the top right of the
menu screen. The greater the number of displayed symbols, the
higher the precision of the GPS positioning. •
2D positioning and 3D positioning
GPS calculates positions using triangulation.
The distance to the satellite can be determined when the radio wave
from that satellite is received, and the current location can be
measured by receiving radio waves from 3 satellites.
However, because there is a margin of error in the GPS satellites and
navigation unit, positioning is performed in only the 2 dimensions of
latitude and longitude when radio waves from only 3 satellites can
be received. The precision will be lower in this case. When radio
waves from 4 or more GPS satellites are received, positioning is
performed in the 3 dimensions of la titude, longitude, and altitude.
3D positioning is more precise than 2D positioning, and it reduces
the margin of error in the vehicle location display.

Accuracy & error calculation
Regarding Precision Accuracy
Since the GPS satellites are controlled by the US Depar tment of Defense
they do have a very high level of accuracy, however a multipath due to
reflections from buildings and so on could cause errors to occur.
Regarding the Properties of the GPS Electro-
Magnetic Waves and Signal Reception
If there are any obstacles between the GPS antenna and the GPS
satellite, electromagnetic-waves cannot be received from the satellite.
It is also impossible to use GPS posi tioning in the following locations as
at least three simultaneous electr omagnetic-waves are necessary to
take measurements.
Also, if there are any obstacles around the GPS antenna,
electromagnetic-waves cannot be received from the satellite.
• In tunnels • If the immediate area is enclosed by
large objects such as skyscrapers

176 Navigation
Further Information
NOTE•Because the GPS satellite is in orbit around the earth, the reception status for
the electromagnetic waves changes depend ing on their position at that point
in time, even if your vehicle is in th e same place. Also, electromagnetic-waves
from satellites near the horizon can be easily influenced by surrounding
obstacles.
• At times, satellites under the control of the US Department of Defence will
intentionally drop positioning accuracy.
Regarding Errors in Current Position Display
The system displays the vehicle current position based on GPS
information and data from various sensors and road maps. However,
when the radiowave signals from GPS satellites are weak or when
signals are received only from two sate llites or less, errors may occur in
the position. Modifying or adjusting the system will not prevent these
errors.
• In underground buil dings and indoor
parking lots • In places with a lot of overgrown
trees and so on
• Under elevated roads • Roads at the base of cliffs and caves
