Precautions for safe driving

Please observe and comply with local traffic
rules and regulations.
The route displayed for destination guidance
is a reference and the route guidance will
take you to the vicinity of your destination.
The highlighted route is not always the
shortest distance, the least congested, and
in some case, might not be the fastest route.
Road, name, POI and speed limit may not
always been completely updated.
The car position mark does not indicate
your exact location. This system uses GNSS
information, various sensors, and road map
data to display the current position. However,
errors in displaying your location may occur
if the satellite is transmitting inaccurate
signals or less than two satellite signals are
received. Errors that occur in such conditions
cannot be corrected.
The position of the vehicle within the
navigation may differ from your actual
location depending on various reasons,
including the satellite transmission state,
vehicle state (driving location and conditions),
etc. Additionally, the car position mark
may differ from the actual position if the
map data is different from the actual
road landscape, such as changes due to
the construction of new roads. If such
differences occur, driving for a short period
of time will automatically correct the position
of the vehicle through map matching or GNSS
information.

What is GNSS?

The GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System)
is a satellite-based navigation system made
up of a network of 32 satellites placed into
orbit by the Global Positioning System (GPS)
of U.S.A, GLONASS of RUSSIA, etc.
GNSS works in any weather conditions,
anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day.
There are no subscription fees or setup
charges to use GNSS.

About satellite signals

Your unit must acquire satellite signals to
operate. If you are indoors, near tall buildings
or trees, or in a parking garage, the unit
cannot acquire satellite signals.

Acquiring satellite signals

Before the unit can determine your current
position and navigate a route, you must do the
following steps:
1. Go outside to an area free from tall
obstructions.
2. Turn on the unit.
Acquiring satellite signals can take a few
minutes.
