FEATURES OF THIS NAVIGATION SYSTEM
ROUTE GUIDANCE
The main features of the INFINITI Naviga-
tion System are visual guidance and voice
guidance in selected map coverage areas.
Utilizing a network of GPS (Global Position-
ing System) satellites, the INFINITI Naviga-
tion System tracks the location on the map
and navigates to a preferred location.
Once the destination is set in a map
coverage area, the INFINITI 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 especially
helpful when driving to unfamiliar loca-
tions.
The system may be unable to set a
destination and/or calculate a route when
the destination is outside the map cover-
age 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 destination,
refer to section 4.
PLACES OF INTEREST (PLACES) DI-
RECTORY
The INFINITI Navigation System offers an
extensive places of interest (Places) direc-
tory in map coverage areas. This directory
includes a wide variety of destinations
ranging from gas stations, ATMs, and
restaurants to casinos, ski resorts, shop-
ping centers and businesses. A point of
interest can be searched by category, name
or phone number. After selecting a desti-
nation, the INFINITI 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 INFINITI 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 AddressBook 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 INFINITI Navigation Sys-
tem does not include in the suggested
route when calculating routes. For exam-
ple, if a freeway or area that is always
congested with traffic.
For more information on the Avoid Area
function, refer to section 6.
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 automa-
tically 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 5.
AUTOMATIC REROUTE
When detecting a deviation from the
suggested route, the INFINITI Navigation
System will automatically recalculate a
new route to the destination.
For more information on the Automatic
reroute function, refer to section 5.
DETOUR
To make a detour due to traffic conditions,
the Detour function calculates an alterna-
tive route. The INFINITI Navigation System
can calculate a route using secondary
roads that will return to primary roads
after a specified number of miles.
For more information on the Detour func-
tion, refer to section 5.
BirdviewTM
Two map types, the 2D (Plan View) map
and BirdviewTM(3D) map, are available in
the INFINITI Navigation System. BirdviewTM
map displays the map from an elevated
perspective. In BirdviewTMmap, it is easy
to recognize an image of the route because
it provides a panoramic view over a long
distance.
For more information on Birdview
TMmap,
refer to section 3.
VOICE GUIDANCE
Route guidance is provided through voice
and visual instructions. Voice guidance
announces the appropriate directions
when approaching an intersection to turn.
For more information on voice guidance,
refer to section 5.

CURRENT VEHICLE LOCATION
DISPLAY OF CURRENT VEHICLE LO-
CATION
This navigation system combines the data
obtained from the vehicle (by gyro sensor)
and from GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites to calculate the current location
of the vehicle. This position is then
displayed throughout route guidance to a
destination.
WHAT IS GPS (Global Positioning
System)?
GPS is a position detecting system that
uses satellites deployed by the U.S.
government. This navigation system re-
ceives radio signals from three or more
different satellites that orbit 13,049 miles
(21,000 km) above the earth in space, and
detects the position of the vehicle by
utilizing the principle of triangulation.
Positioning adjustment
When the system judges that the vehicle
position information is not accurate based
on vehicle speed and gyro sensor data
calculations, the system will automatically
adjust the position of the vehicle iconusing GPS signals.
Receiving signals from GPS satel-
lites
The reception of GPS signals can be weak,
depending on the environment. Vehicles in
the following areas/environments may not
receive GPS signals (indicator color: gray).
.
Inside tunnels or parking garages
.Areas with numerous tall buildings
.Under multi-layered highways

.Under many large trees
.In a canyon
INFO:
The GPS antenna is located on the instrument
panel inside the vehicle. Do not place any
objects, especially mobile phones or transcei-
vers, on the instrument panel. Because the
strength of the GPS signal is approximately one
billionth of that of TV waves, phones and
transceivers will affect or may totally disrupt
the signal.
Display of GPS information
GPS information can be displayed.
“Viewing GPS current location infor-
mation” (page 7-32)
NOTE:
Route guidance provided by the navigation
system does not take carpool lane driving into
consideration, especially when carpool lanes
are separated from other road lanes.
INCORRECT DISPLAY OF VEHICLE
POSITION
The following cases may affect the display
accuracy of the vehicle’ s position or
traveling direction. The accuracy will return
to normal if the driving conditions return to
normal.
. When there is a similar road nearby.
.When the vehicle is traveling in an area
with a grid pattern road system.
