The positioning can be done when receiving signals from more than three satellites. There are 3D positioning and 2D positioning for GPS positioning.Types Description3D positioningWhen you receive strong signals from GPS satellites, 3D (latitude, longitude and altitude) positioning can be done.2D positioningWhen you are able to receive but the reception status is not good, positioning is done in 2D (latitude and longitude). Because altitude cannot be detected, the incidental positioning error is slightly bigger than in 3D.Positioning by autonomous navigation• The built-in hybrid sensor determines the current location by detecting travel distance from the acceleration sensor and turned directions from the gyro sensor.The characteristics of the positioning that combined GPS and autonomous navigation• The combination of current location data from GPS and current location data from autonomous navigation enables it to perform positioning with higher accuracy.• Even signals from GPS satellites cannot be received, autonomous navigation can continue performing positioning.• Positioning just by autonomous navigation can cause misalignment of the current location display. By combining GPS and autonomous navigation, GPS positioning can correct the misalignment of autonomous navigation, and therefore, the accuracy of positioning will be higher.
-15-Built-in sensor learning• The Cradle is equipped with a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor in order to achieve higher accuracy in positioning. To enable this function, these sensors have to learn. Learning can take approximately 5 – 15 minutes after starting driving. (It varies depends on driving conditions.)• If the learning is not completed, the mark which shows the current location on the screen map will stop when it cannot receive GPS information in tunnels. (The current location of the vehicle will be updated when GPS becomes available again.)• This function requires re-learning when the installation angle changes significantly or previous learning is cleared.• The current location of the vehicle can be misaligned even when learning of the built-in sensors is completed.Map matching• The supporting application has to be used together to operate the map matching function.• Incidental errors can occur with the positioning by GPS or autonomous navigation, and the current location can be shown as off road. In this case, it thinks that vehicles should drive on the road, and the GPS corrects the current location of the vehicle on to the nearby road. This is the map matching function.• A more accurate display of the current location is possible by using the Cradle because GPS and autonomous navigation can perform highly accurate positioning and the map matching function supports it at the same time.Incidental errorsIncidental errors may become significant in the following cases.Incidental errors due to non-performing GPS positioning• GPS positioning cannot be performed when your vehicle is in places such as the following because the signals from GPS satellites are interrupted and not received: – inside of a tunnel or indoor parking lot– under a two-layer structure highway– an area crowded with high-rises– an area surrounded by thick tree growth• When GPS positioning is not working for a long time, the current location of the vehicle can be misaligned or stopped. Even in these cases, once GPS signals become available again and you continue driving for a while, the current location of the vehicle will be corrected to the right location.• Do not apply paint or wax to the Cradle. It may reduce the sensitivity of the sensors or may not be able to receive signals.Incidental errors caused by GPS satellites themselves• GPS satellites are controlled by the U.S. Defense Department and satellites themselves sometimes deliberately send misaligned positioning data. In this case, incidental errors of positioning may become significant.• When signals from fewer satellites are captured (received), the positioning will be 2D positioning and the incidental errors may become significant.Other incidental errors• When driving through Y-intersection with small angles.• Right after driving on a straight line or gentle curves for a long distance.• When tires slip on a gravel road or snowy road.• When weaving on the road.• When turning on a rotating platform in a parking garage, etc.• When a series of hairpin-curves continues.• When roads are adjacent to each other (such as toll way and side road)• When repeatedly turning or changing directions in a multistory parking garage, etc.• When GPS positioning is not working for a long time.• When crossing a loop bridge.• When driving on a newly constructed road which is not yet reflected on the map information.• When the vehicle is transported by ferry or car-transporter vehicle.• When there are repeated starts and stops at low speed in a traffic jam.• When driving on a street in a grid.• When driving on a road in a facility such as a plant and getting close to a road adjacent to that facility.• When starting to drive right after starting the engine.• When the Cradle is performing at its best capacity due to incorrect installation or impact from vibrations.• When the Sensor Unit is installed while driving.• When the installation site of the Cradle has been changed.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:Set your volume control at a low setting. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES.Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
