- Tunnel or underground
- Under a highway
- Between high buildings
- Between tall trees with dense foliage
Note
GPS signal reception may be poor depending on the material of the car's windscreen.
On the positioning system (POSITION plus) (NV-U93T/U83 only)
The system has a function that allows the current car position to be correctly displayed even at locations where the GPS signal is temporarily interrupted or poorly received, as when going under an overpass.
To activate this function, do the following:
- Attach the unit to the cradle.
- Drive for a while in an area where the GPS signal is clearly received.
The positioning system will become ready for operation after you have driven a little with the unit on.
Notes
- The accuracy of this function may deteriorate if the unit is installed near a heated or heat-reflecting windscreen.
- Depending on the conditions, the current car position or the movement may not be accurately displayed. This, however, will be corrected as soon as the GPS signal reception resumes.
- This function is available only during route guidance.
