(In such case, the acquiring process will resume when the iPod basic screen (Music) is displayed.
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 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 earth’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 ! If the road has connected hairpin bends. Appendix 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 shallow turn. ! If you drive in zigzags. ! 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 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. (In some cases, you may not be able to set the streets you want to pass. If you need to pass a certain street, set the waypoint on that street.) ! If the destination is too far, there may be instances where the route cannot be set.
Appendix Appendix Supplemental information about traffic icon Icon Meanings Stop-and-go traffic ! Avoid leaving discs in excessively hot environments including under direct sunlight. ! Do not attach labels, write on or apply chemicals to the surface of the discs. ! To clean a disc, wipe the disc with a soft cloth outward from the center. Stopped traffic Closed/blocked roads Accidents, constructions, etc.
Appendix Appendix Playable discs About DVD-Video and CD DVD and CD discs that display the logos shown below generally can be played on this built-in DVD drive. About Dolby Digital CD Appendix DVD-Video ! Serious scratches can lead to playback problems on this navigation system. In some cases, a DualDisc may become stuck in the disc loading slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we recommend you refrain from using DualDisc with this navigation system.

Appendix Appendix Glossary AAC AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and refers to an audio compression technology standard used with MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Bit rate This expresses data volume per second, or bps units (bits per second). The higher the rate, the more information is available to reproduce the sound. Using the same encoding method (such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better the sound. Built-in sensor The built-in sensor that enables the system to estimate your vehicle’s position.
Appendix Appendix ID3 tag This is a method of embedding track-related information in a MP3 file. This embedded information can include the track title, the artist’s name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, comments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3 Tag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted by the number of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back.
Appendix Appendix Packet write This is a general term for a method of writing on CD-R, etc. at the time required for a file, just as is done with files on floppy or hard disks. Phone book An address book on user’s phone is collectively referred to as “Phone book”. Depending on the cellular phone, “Phone book” may be called a name such as “Contacts”, “Business card” or something else.
