Appendix Appendix Map matching Positioning by GPS 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 When positioning by GPS is impossible ! If signals cannot be received from more than two GPS satellites, GPS positioning does not take place. ! In some driving conditions, signals from GPS satellites may not reach your vehicle. In this case, it is impossible for the system to use GPS positioning. In tunnels or enclosed parking garages your vehicle may differ from the position displayed on the map screen. ! If you make a shallow turn. ! If there is a parallel road.
Appendix Appendix ! If the road has connected hairpin bends. ! If your vehicle is turned on a turntable or similar structure. Appendix ! If there is a loop or similar road configuration. ! If you enter or exit a multi-storey parking lot or similar structure using a spiral ramp. ! If you take a ferry. ! If your vehicle’s wheels spin, such as on a gravel road or in snow. ! If you are driving on a long, straight road or a gently curving road.
Appendix Appendix ! If you drive very slowly, or in a start-andstop manner, as in a traffic congestion. ! If you join the road after driving around a large parking lot. ! When you pass around a traffic circle. ! When starting driving immediately after starting the engine. 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.
