Appendix Appendix Positioning technology Positioning by GPS The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses a network of satellites orbiting the Earth. Each of the satellites, which orbit at a height of 68 900 000 feet (21 000 km), continually broadcasts radio signals giving time and position information. This ensures that signals from at least three can be picked up from any open area on the ground’s surface. The accuracy of the GPS information depends on how good the reception is.
Appendix Appendix Map matching As mentioned, the positioning systems used by this navigation system are susceptible to certain errors. Their calculations may, on occasion, place you in a location on the map where no road exists. In this situation, the processing system understands that vehicles travel only on roads, and can correct your position by adjusting it to a nearby road. This is called map matching.
Appendix Appendix Conditions likely to cause noticeable positioning errors For various reasons, such as the state of the road you are traveling on and the reception status of the GPS signal, the actual position of your vehicle may differ from the position displayed on the map screen. ! If you make a slight turn. ! If you drive in zigzags. ! If the road has a series of hairpin bends. ! If there is a parallel road. ! If there is a loop or similar road configuration.
Appendix Appendix ! If trees or other obstacles block the GPS signals for a considerable period. ! If you enter or exit a multi-storey parking lot or similar structure using a spiral ramp. ! If you drive very slowly, or in a start-andstop manner, as in a traffic congestion. ! If your vehicle is turned on a turntable or similar structure. ! If you join the road after driving around a large parking lot. ! If your vehicle’s wheels spin, such as on a gravel road or in snow.
Appendix Appendix Route setting information Route search specifications Your navigation system sets a route to your destination by applying certain built-in rules to the map data. This section provides some useful information about how a route is set. CAUTION When a route is calculated, the route and voice guidance for the route are automatically set. Also, for day or time traffic regulations, only information about traffic regulations applicable at the time when the route was calculated is considered.
