FEATURES OF THIS NAVIGATION SYSTEM
ROUTE GUIDANCE
The main features of the INFINITI Navigation
System are visual guidance and voice
guidance in selected map coverage areas.
Utilizing a network of GPS (Global Positioning
System) satellites, the INFINITI Navigation
System tracks the location on the map
and navigates to a preferred location.
Once the destination is set in a map
coverage area, the INFINITI Navigation
System will calculate a route from the
current location to the destination. The
real-time map display and turn-by-turn
voice guidance leads the driver along the
route. These features can be especially
helpful when driving to unfamiliar locations.
The system may be unable to set a
destination and/or calculate a route when
the destination is outside the map coverage
area. Additionally, voice guidance may
not be available if the destination is
outside the map coverage area. For more
information on how to set a destination,
refer to section 4.
PLACES OF INTEREST (PLACES) DI-
RECTORY
The INFINITI Navigation System offers an
extensive places of interest (Places) directory
in map coverage areas. This directory
includes a wide variety of destinations
ranging from gas stations, ATMs, and
restaurants to casinos, ski resorts, shopping
centers and businesses. A point of
interest can be searched by category, name
or phone number. After selecting a destination,
the INFINITI Navigation System will
calculate a route to that destination.
The Places directory has many uses. For
example, the directory can be sorted by the
various types of restaurants near the
current location. If an ATM or gas station
is needed, the INFINITI Navigation System
can navigate to the closest preferred
location.
For more information on how to use the
Places directory, refer to section 4.
ADDRESS BOOK
The Address Book can store up to 300
locations from map coverage areas into a
personal directory. This is especially useful
for frequently visited locations, such as
clients, relatives and friends. The Address
Book function allows easy access to
frequently visited locations when setting
them as your destination.
For more information on how to use the
Address Book, refer to section 6.
AVOID AREA
The Avoid Area function sets areas or
freeways that the INFINITI Navigation System
does not include in the suggested
route when calculating routes. For example,
if a freeway or area that is always
congested with traffic.
For more information on the Avoid Area
function, refer to section 6.
NavTraffic INFORMATION
When available, the NavTraffic Information
broadcast may help to avoid delays due to
traffic incidents. Traffic jams, roadwork,
closed roads around the current location,
etc. are represented graphically on the
map by icons depicting the nature of the
event. Incidents on the route are automatically
brought to the attention when they
are approached.
The NavTraffic Information feature, via the
guidance mode, may help to detour around
traffic problems. For more information on
