This chapter explains navigation function operations.
Basic Operation
Navigation 
Functions
What is Navigation?
Navigation is a system that measures the 
location of your car and guides you along the 
route to the set destination. Your car's location 
displayed on the map is measured with the 
“GPS” and “Map matching” functions.
GPS(Global Positioning 
System)
The system that uses GPS satellites to detect 
the location is called “GPS”. The radio signals 
from these GPS satellites are received and 
the location of one's own car is measured to 
within about 30 to 200 meters.
•  Measuring your car's location takes about 2 
minutes in a location with a good view. The 
fi rst time this product is used or it is used 
after a long while, it takes about 5 minutes to 
measure your car's location.•  The GPS satellites are managed by the 
Department of Defense of the United States 
of America, which sometimes deliberately 
reduces the location precision. When that 
happens, the location of your car may not be 
displayed in the correct location.
Map Matching
“Map matching” is a function that compares 
the route tracking data for your car with the 
road confi guration in the map data, estimates 
the road you are driving on, and displays this 
on the map.
CAUTION
•  The map displayed for navigation and 
the traffi c rule information were prepared 
based on various types of information 
when the map data was prepared, so 
they may differ from the actual roads 
and traffi c regulations. Always follow the 
actual roads and obey the actual traffi c 
regulations.
GPS Antenna
GPS antenna
The location of your car is measured by 
receiving weak radio signals from GPS 
satellites with the “GPS antenna”.
ADVICE
If the radio signals from the GPS satellite 
are blocked, the location of your car may 
not be displayed in the correct location, so 
observe the following rules.
•  Do not paste a mirror type fi lm or shade 
fi lm that contains carbon onto the 
windshield.
•  Do not place anything on or near the 
GPS antenna.
•  Do not use a mobile phone, PHS, 
computer, etc. near the GPS antenna.

Map Data
The map data may contain wrong or missing 
characters, incorrect locations etc.
Position Measurement
When Accurate Position 
Measurement Is Not Possible
Radio signals from GPS satellites cannot be 
received in locations such as in tunnels, indoor 
parking garages, locations surrounded by high 
buildings, mountains or trees, under freeways 
and elevated train lines. In such cases, the 
position measurement uses autonomous 
navigation based on the gyro sensor and 
speed sensor, so accurate measurement of 
your car's location may become impossible.
Measurement Error
When radio signals cannot be received from 
GPS satellites, measurement error occurs 
easily and the location of your car may not be 
displayed correctly.
If you keep on driving, when it becomes 
possible to receive radio signals from GPS 
satellites, the error in the current location will 
be automatically corrected.Reasons Why the Location of  Your 
Car Is Not Displayed Correctly
•  When a freeway and general road are near 
each other
•  When driving roads laid out in a grid
•  When driving on a mountain road with a 
sharp slope
•  When turning left or right after having driven 
a long while on a straight road
•  Immediately after the engine is switched ON
•  When driving at slow speed, for example on 
a congested road or in a parking lot (Because 
some cars do not output a vehicle speed 
signal when driving too slow)
•  When traveling with chains on the tires
•  When the vehicle was turned on a turntable 
or the like
•  When driving through a fork in the road with 
a small angle between the two branches
•  After the vehicle has been moved by ferry or 
the like
•  When driving in a multi-level parking garage 
or on a spiral road
•  When zig-zagging on a wide road
•  When a tire has been replaced with the 
emergency spare
•  When driving on snow, sand, or other 
slippery road
3D Position Measurement
When effective radio signals for which 
positional precision can be expected can be 
received from four or more GPS satellites, the 
3D position of latitude, longitude, and altitude 
can be calculated.
“GPS Information”(P143)
2D Position Measurement
When effective radio signals for which 
positional precision can be expected can be 
received from three or more GPS satellites 
but not enough for 3D position measurement, 
the altitude is assumed to have remained 
the same since the last time it could be 
measured and only the 2D of latitude and 
longitude can be calculated. In this case, the 
positional precision is less than for 3D position 
measurement.
“GPS Information” (P143)
Non-measurable Position
When effective radio signals from GPS 
satellites for which positional precision can be 
expected can not be received, the position is 
not measured.

NAVI Basic Operation
Route Search Methods
•  The route displayed in the route guidance 
is a reference route to the destination. It 
is not necessarily the shortest route. This 
route guidance also does not take traffi c 
congestion information into account.
•  Not all roads are used in route guidance.
•  Routes using ferries are set to be less 
recommended than normal roads. Therefore, 
even when a ferry provides a quicker route 
to the destination, a route not using the ferry 
may be displayed.
•  When a toll road interchange, parking area, 
or service area is set as the destination or 
as a waypoint, select from an establishment 
search or from a freeway simplifi ed map and 
set without scrolling the map.
•  Sometimes, the route is not the same as the 
one prepared previously even though the 
same locations were set as the destination 
and waypoints.
•  Sometimes routes are displayed that include 
pedestrian ways, stairs, etc. that are not 
passable by vehicle.
•  If there is no road to the destination or only 
narrow roads, a route may be displayed 
that goes to some place apart from the 
destination.
•  Because searches are carried out passing 
alongside establishments, depending on the 
road confi guration, roundabout routes may 
be displayed.
•  Sometimes routes are searched that take 
traffi c rule information into account.
•  Sometimes, some temporary rules are not 
taken into account or the time for which 
they are applied differs from when they are 
actually in effect.
Route Guidance
•  When your car is driving on the searched 
route, this displays the distance until the 
destination or the next waypoint.
•  When your car is driving off the searched 
route, this displays the distance from the 
point where you left the route until the 
destination or the next waypoint.
•  The display of the estimated time of arrival 
at the destination is calculated based on the 
remaining time data in the map data and 
learning trip information.
•  Sometimes even though you need to turn 
at a junction, the junction name is not in the 
guidance and the junction is not covered in 
the audio guidance.
•  Sometimes left and right turn guidance 
differs from the actual road confi guration.
•  When you go off the route, for example by 
turning one junction too early, sometimes the 
audio guidance continues for the route you 
had been on.
•  Sometimes the distance in the guidance is 
slightly too high or too low.
Precautions for operating the 
navigation
•  During route guidance, always obey the 
actual traffi c regulations. Failure to do so 
may cause a traffi c accident.
•  The route is searched using the map data on 
the map card. Sometimes it may differ from 
actual restrictions for construction, one-way 
rules, and other traffi c rules. Always obey 
the actual traffi c regulations.
• Traffi c rules that depend on the time of 
day refl ect the time at which the route was 
searched. When driving the route, always 
obey the actual traffi c regulations.
•  The distance your car has traveled is 
measured with the speed sensor (and this 
speed is proportional to the rotation rate of 
the tires).When the tires are new, if you have 
non-standard tires, or if the tire air pressure 
is not correct, error inputs the distance 
measurement more easily and the location 
of your car may not be displayed correctly.
•  The route is a reference route to around the 
destination. It is not the shortest route or the 
route most free of traffi c congestion.
•  While you are driving, the amount of road 
information displayed is restricted and some 
roads may not be displayed.(For example, 
narrow streets) 
•  If the distance to the destination is extremely 
short or extremely long, route search may be 
impossible.
•  Even if you travel off the route, the route is 
automatically recalculated.
•  The estimated time of arrival varies with the 
road conditions and how you drive.
