driving directions that account for 
important details for the road you’re 
on, including one-way’s, turn restric-

navigable attributes.

How does the Navigation System Work? 

Dead Reckoning

Allows the navigation system to accurately 
predict the vehicles position despite the 
degradation or loss of a GPS signal. A 
speed sensor on the wheels of your car, 
and a internal gyroscope provide the 
navigation system with distance and 
direction data respectively, that is then 
used to store a highly accurate image of 
the path your vehicle has traveled. This 
information, used in conjunction with 
map-matching, enables the system to 
provide precise guidance advice despite 
the temporarily loss of a GPS signal.

Map-Matching

Refers to the process of comparing the 
vehicle’s position, heading, distance, and 
speed data produced by the vehicle sen-
sors against the map data from the map 
database, to determine the most likely 
location of the vehicle relative to the map. 

The display menus that prompt you for 
your destination selection are part of 
the navigation software. The navigation 
software is stored in the navigation system 
and interacts with a map database DVD 
to guide you through the process of 
selecting your destination.

TRAVELING TO YOUR DESTINATION

• Route Guidance

Provides audible (voice) and visual 
(map) guidance instructions for 
each driving maneuver along the 
planned route.

•  Average Speed Setting

Allows user to specify driving habits 
that are taken into account when the 
system estimates time of arrival.

• Automatic Rerouting

Automatically recalculates a new route 
to your planned destination if you 
miss a turn.

• Previous Destination

Allows user to view and select the last 
20 destinations.

•  Voice Street Prompts

Provides a audible (voice) pronuncia-
tion of specific street names during a 
planned route.

• Detour

Allows user to specify specific detour 
options that the  navigation system is 
to  take into consideration
 

The navigation system uses an on-board 
computer that interacts with the GPS 
(Global Positioning System) satellites, vehi-
cle sensors and the Map Database to give 
you the precise location of your vehicle 
and guide you to your destination. Vehicle 
location is gathered by a combination 
of 3 navigation calculations: GPS signal, 
dead-reckoning and map-matching.

The GPS signal is obtained through the 
GPS receiver located your navigation 
system. There are currently 24 earth-
orbiting GPS satellites that are constantly 
transmitting radio signals. Your navigation 
system requires a minimum of 3 satellites 
at any given time to calculate your 
vehicles position. GPS signals may be 
temporarily lost when traveling through 
tunnels, mountains, extended freeway 
overpasses. The navigation system will 
continue to function as normal despite 
the temporarily signal loss because 
of the dead-reckoning function.
