Navigation terminology
Navigation
The navigation system displays and tracks the
vehicle's position and movement on a moving map
display. When a destination is input, the navigation
system quickly calculates a route and guides you
along the route with pictorial displays and voice
prompts.
Present vehicle position
The navigation system integrates the GPS (Global
Positioning Satellite) signals received and the map
information stored on the DVD ROM to display the
position and direction of the vehicle. The system
also includes a gyroscope and a speed sensor that
enable it to display the present position even in
locations where the GPS signal may be blocked.
Map matching
Since GPS navigation has an error of 100 – 655 feet
(30 m – 200 m), the position of your vehicle may be
displayed off the road. Map matching automatically
corrects this error so that the position of your vehicle
is displayed on the road.
Uncorrected
Destination
The point on the map that is
your destination is specified
and displayed with the
destination icon.
Route
When a destination is input,
the navigation system
automatically calculates a
route and displays it in blue
on the map.

Waypoints

You specify points you wish
to pass by along the way to
your destination and they are
indicated with the waypoint
icons in the display.
Memory points
Locations you go to fre-
quently can be stored into
memory and marked on the
map. The system can store
up to 200 points, including
your home. You can add
icons at the memory points
so that the system displays
the icons too on the map.
Motorway-preference selection
When searching for routes with the navigation
system, you can switch between searching for
routes that give priority to motorways and those that
give priority to ordinary roads. When you specify
motorway preference, the navigation system
automatically searches for a route that gives priority
to motorways and guides you along that route.
Tracking
The tracks indicate the roads
you have driven over with
blue dots. There is a limit on
the amount of memory
available for storing your
tracks (up to 31 miles/50 km).
When you exceed this
memory capacity, the tracks
are erased starting from the
earliest portion.
