How to Listen to a CD

If you set a CD to this unit, the CD is automatically played. You can select a track, or turn Repeat range, Random play or Scan play ON/OFF.

Before listening to a CD

The Navigation System accurately measures your current location by combining the positioning by GPS and by Dead Reckoning.

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 earths surface. The accuracy of the GPS information depends on how good the reception is. When the signals are strong and reception is good, GPS can determine latitude, longitude, and altitude for accurate positioning in three dimensions. But if signal quality is poor, only two dimensions, latitude and longitude, can be obtained and positioning errors are somewhat greater.
Positioning by dead reckoning
The 3D Hybrid Sensor in the main unit also calculates your position. The current location is measured by detecting driving distance with the speed pulse, the turning direction with the Gyrosensor, and inclination of the road with the G sensor. The 3D Hybrid Sensor can even calculate changes of altitude, and corrects for discrepancies in the distance travelled caused by driving along winding roads or up slopes. Also, the Navigation System learns the driving conditions and stores information in the memory; thus, as you drive more, the precision of the positioning becomes more accurate. The method of positioning changes as follows depending on whether the speed pulse of your car is detected or not:

3D hybrid mode

This is active when the speed pulse is detected. Inclination of a street can be detected.

Simple hybrid mode

When the speed pulse is not detected, positioning is performed in this mode. Only horizontal movement is detected, so it becomes less accurate. Also, when the positioning by GPS is not available, such as when your car enters a long tunnel, the discrepancy between your actual and calculated position may become bigger.
The speed pulse data comes from the speed sensing circuit. The location of this speed
sensing circuit depends on your car model. In some cases, it is impossible to make a connection to it, and in such a case we recommend that the ND-PG1 speed pulse generator (sold separately) be used.

Current location

The present location of your car; your current location is shown on the map by a red triangle mark.
