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 For various reasons, such as the state of the road you are travelling 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 connected 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 car park or similar structure with a spiral layout. ! If you drive very slowly, or in a start-andstop manner, as in a traffic jam. ! If your vehicle is turned on a turntable or similar structure. ! If you join the road after driving around a large vehicle park.
Appendix Appendix 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 at the time when the route was calculated is shown. One-way streets and street closures may not be taken into consideration. For example, if a street is open during the morning only, but you arrive later, it would be against the traffic regulations so you cannot drive along the set route.
Appendix Appendix Built-in drive and care ! Use only conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use shaped discs. ! Condensation may temporarily impair the built-in drive’s performance. Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about one hour. Also, wipe any damp discs with a soft cloth. ! Playback of discs may not be possible because of disc characteristics, disc format, recorded application, playback environment, storage conditions and so on. ! Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.
Appendix Appendix About AVCHD recorded discs About DTS sound This unit is not compatible with discs recorded in AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition) format. Do not insert AVCHD discs.
