Global Positioning System (GPS) The Navigation System determines the position of your vehicle by using satellite signals, various vehicle signals and map data. At times, other interferences such as the satellite condition, road configuration, the condition of the vehicle and/or other circumstances can interfere with the Navigation’s ability to determine the accurate position of the vehicle.
Vehicle Positioning At times, the position of the vehicle on the map may be inaccurate due to one or more of the following reasons: • The road system has changed. • The vehicle is driving on slippery road surfaces such as in sand, gravel and/or snow. • The vehicle is traveling on winding roads. • The vehicle is on a long straight road. • The vehicle is approaching a tall building or a large vehicle. • The surface streets run parallel to a freeway.
Problems with Route Guidance Inappropriate route guidance may occur under one or more of the following conditions: • You have not turned onto the road indicated. • Route guidance may not be available when using automatic rerouting for the next right or left turn. • The route may not be changed when using automatic rerouting. • There is no route guidance when turning at an intersection. • Plural names of places may be announced occasionally.
Ordering Map DVDs You will receive two free DVD map disc updates with the purchase of your new vehicle. Updates are necessary to make sure that your vehicle’s navigation system has the most accurate information available about streets/roads, points of interest, and business locations. The updates are provided by the GM Nav Disc Center at the first and second anniversary dates of your vehicle’s delivery date.
