Global Positioning
System (GPS)
The position of the vehicle is
determined by using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, and
map data.
At times, other interference such as
the satellite condition, road
configuration, condition of the
vehicle, and/or other circumstances
can affect the navigation system's
ability to determine the accurate
position of the vehicle. The GPS shows the current position
of the vehicle using signals sent by
GPS Satellites. When the vehicle is
not receiving signals from the
satellites, a symbol appears on the
map screen. See
Navigation
Symbols 0172.
This system might not be available
or interference can occur if any of
the following are true:
. Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks,
or a tunnel.
. Satellites are being repaired or
improved.
For more information if the GPS is
not functioning properly, see
Problems with Route Guidance
0 191 andIf the System Needs
Service 0192.
Vehicle Positioning
At times, the position of the vehicle
on the map could be inaccurate due
to one or more of the following
reasons:
.
The road system has changed.
