Positioning technology Android Auto W8600NEX 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 68 900 000 feet (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 ground’s surface. The accuracy of the GPS information depends on how good the reception is.
How do GPS and dead reckoning work together? Map matching As mentioned, the positioning systems used by this navigation system are susceptible to certain errors. Their calculations may, on occasion, place you in a location on the map where no road exists. In this situation, the processing system understands that vehicles travel only on roads, and can correct your position by adjusting it to a nearby road. This is called map matching.
When driving through a dense forest or tall trees properly, and the error may become bigger. When positioning by GPS is impossible In tunnels or enclosed parking garages English • GPS positioning is disabled if signals cannot be received from more than two GPS satellites. • In some driving conditions, signals from GPS satellites may not reach your vehicle. In this case, it is impossible for the system to use GPS positioning.
If you drive in zigzags. If there is a parallel road. English If the road has a series of hairpin bends. If there is another road very nearby, such as in the case of an elevated freeway. If there is a loop or similar road configuration. If you take a recently opened road that is not on the map.
If you take a ferry. If you enter or exit a multi-storey parking lot or similar structure using a spiral ramp. English If you are driving on a long, straight road or a gently curving road. If your vehicle is turned on a turntable or similar structure. If you are on a steep mountain road with many height changes. If your vehicle’s wheels spin, such as on a gravel road or in snow.
If you join the road after driving around a large parking lot. If trees or other obstacles block the GPS signals for a considerable period. When you drive around a traffic circle. English If you put on chains, or change your tires for ones with a different size. If you drive very slowly, or in a startand-stop manner, as in a traffic congestion. When starting driving immediately after starting the engine.
• When there is a traffic congestion ahead, a detour route may not be suggested if driving through the traffic congestion would still be better than taking the detour. • There may be instances when the starting point, the waypoint and the destination point are not on the highlighted route. • The number of traffic circle exits displayed on the screen may differ from the actual number of roads. Route highlighting • Once set, the route is highlighted in bright color on the map.
Playable discs DVD-Video English • Use 12-cm discs. Do not use 8-cm discs or an adapter for 8-cm discs. • When using discs that can be printed on label surfaces, check the instructions and the warnings of the discs. Depending on the discs, inserting and ejecting may not be possible. Using such discs may result in damage to this equipment. • Do not attach labels, write on or apply chemicals to the surface of the discs. • Do not attach commercially available labels or other materials to the discs.

Problems such as that those cards cannot be read or written could occur.
DivX subtitle files • Srt format subtitle files with the extension “.srt” can be used. • Only one subtitle file can be used for each DivX file. Multiple subtitle files cannot be associated. • Subtitle files that are named with the same character string as the DivX file before the extension are associated with the DivX file. The character strings before the extension must be exactly the same.
