•Wide area map, detailed map
The wide area map is a map of a large 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 latitude, longitude, and altitude.
3D positioning is more precise than 2D positioning, and it reduces
the margin of error in the vehicle location display.

■Irregularly-shaped CDs
•Irregularly-shaped discs, such as octagonal CDs or heart-shaped CDs, cannot
be played. Do not play this type of disc, even with an adapter.
Damage to the player could result.
■Disc accessories
•Do not use accessories (such as stabilizers, protective seals, laser lens cleaners)
sold for improving sound performance or protecting CDs.
The changes in CD thickness or outside dimensions made by these
accessories may cause problems in the player. •Do not attach any ring-shape protector (or other accessory) to the disc.
Although these protectors are commercially available and said to protect
discs and improve sound quality (and anti-vibration effect), in normal use they
can do more harm than good. The most common problems are disc insertion
and ejection problems and abnormal playback problems due to the protector
ring coming off in the disc mechanism.
