System Limitations GPS System The signals received from the GPS satellites are extremely weak (less than a millionth of the strength of a local FM station) and require an unobstructed view of the sky. The GPS antenna is located in the dashboard. The signal reception can easily be interrupted or interfered with by the following: • Metallic window tint on the front or side windows • Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle or lying loose on the dashboard • Remote starters or "hidden" vehicle tracking systems mounted near the navigation unit • Audio electronic devices mounted near the navigation unit • Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead electrical power wires The GPS is operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. For security reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built into the GPS for which the navigation system must constantly compensate. This can cause occasional positioning errors of up to several hundred feet. Database The digitized map database reflects conditions as they existed at various points in time before production. Accordingly, your database may contain inaccurate or incomplete data or information due to the passage of time, road construction, changing conditions, or other causes. For example, some places/landmarks may be missing when you search the database because the name was misspelled, the place was improperly categorized, or a place/landmark is not yet in the database. This is also true for police stations, hospitals, and other public institutions. Do not rely on the navigation system if you need law enforcement or hospital services. Always check with local information sources. Address Calculation The destination icon shows only the approximate location of a destination address. This occurs if the number of possible addresses is different from the number of actual addresses on a block. For example, the address 1425 on a 1400 block with 100 possible addresses (because it is followed by the 1500 block) will be shown a quarter of the way down the block by the system. If there are only 25 actual addresses on the block, the actual location of address 1425 would be at the end of the block. 294 Reference Information
