Appendix Appendix Positioning technology Positioning by GPS Positioning by dead reckoning The built-in sensor in the navigation system also calculates your position. The current location is measured by detecting driving distance with the speed pulse, the turning direction with the gyro sensor and inclination of the road with the G sensor. The built-in sensor can even calculate changes of altitude, and correct the discrepancies in the distance traveled caused by driving along winding roads or up slopes.
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 you are on a steep mountain road with many height changes. ! 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.
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 ! The calculated route is one example of the route to your destination decided by the navigation system while taking the type of streets or traffic regulations into account. It is not necessarily an optimum route.
