Navigation mechanism
GPS positioning
• GPS (Global Positioning System) is a system that
receives positioning signals from GPS satellites
to position the current location.
• GPS is launched to an altitude of 21,000 km
from Earth. The positioning can be done when
receiving signals from more than three satellites.
There are 3D positioning and 2D positioning for
GPS positioning.
Types Description
3D
positioning
When you receive strong signals from
GPS satellites, 3D (latitude, longitude
and altitude) positioning can be done.
2D
positioning
When 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.

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 errors
Incidental 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.

1 Eco-Driving Support
This unit is equipped with an Eco-driving Support function that can be used to estimate whether you are
driving in an environmentally friendly way.
This function estimates approximate fuel mileage based on your driving, compares with your estimated
average fuel mileage in the previous trip, and indicates the results by LED.
If your current driving has better estimated fuel mileage compared with the previous trip, the Green LED
turns on.
If your driving has a lower estimated fuel mileage compared with the previous trip, the Red LED turns on.
The fuel mileage comparison is calculated while the unit turned off.
Green LED will turn on when i) this unit is used for the first time, or ii) the unit fails to store the previous
fuel mileage.
This function is an estimate only and may not reflect actual driving fuel mileage.

Important Safety Information
The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level—a level that lets the sound come through
clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so
what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. 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.
Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
