Satellite Navigation
Satellite Navigation
The satellite navigation system fitted to your vehicle uses the Global Positioning System (GPS). This works in conjunction with direction and speed sensors incorporated in the vehicle's electronic systems, to continually monitor its position. The navigation computer then integrates this data with the information stored on the navigation CD, enabling you to plan and follow a route map to your desired destination. This is particularly useful if you are travelling to or through unfamiliar territory.
There are 24 GPS satellites in orbit (at a height of 21,000 kilometers) around the earth. The GPS navigation system will pick up and utilise any available signals to plot your position. To accurately determine the position of the vehicle, the GPS receiver needs to be able to pick up the signals from at least four satellites.
Obstacles such as tall buildings, tunnels and mountains can sometimes shield a vehicle from satellite signals, which may cause a temporary interruption to the operation of the navigation system. However, the vehicle's direction and speed sensors will minimise any adverse effect on the operation of the navigation system, if this should occur. Normal operation will resume once the obstruction has been passed.
Safety instructions
Observation of traffic signs and local traffic regulations always takes priority.
WARNING
The navigation system is designed only as a guide and does not relieve the driver of the responsibility for driving in accordance with traffic regulations.
When driving off-road, the navigation system will not supply detailed information concerning the terrain being traversed - carry out a preliminary survey on foot before negotiating difficult terrain and refer to the 'Off-road driving' section of the Owner's Handbook for helpful information.
In the interests of safety, information should only be programmed into the navigation system when the vehicle is stationary.
Danger of accident
- through operation of the navigation unit when driving.
- use of the navigation unit is advised only if traffic conditions are suitable and you are absolutely sure that no risk, obstruction or inconvenience will be incurred to you, your passengers or other road users.
It is possible that inaccurate or incorrect instructions are given due to altered traffic routes, e.g. due to road works or deviating data. The actual road signs and traffic regulations must therefore always be observed.
- through misuse of the unit
- the navigation system serves solely as an aid to navigation. In particular, the navigation system cannot be used as an aid to orientation when visibility is poor. The volume of the car radio/navigation system must be adjusted so that external noise is still audible.
- switch off the unit immediately if a fault occurs.
Traffic guidance is restricted to passenger vehicles. Special driving recommendations and regulations for other vehicles (e.g. commercial vehicles) are not taken into account.
The destination must only be entered when the vehicle is stationary.
Digitised area
The navigation system can provide information and guidance only for the area covered by the navigation CD - ensure that you are using the latest version of the correct CD.
NOTE:
Navigation CDs are updated approximately every 12 months. Your Navigation CD contains operating software. Later CD versions may update the operating software.
The navigation CD provided contains a digitised street map. Highways, national and regional roads, as well as district roads, are detailed in this street map. Larger cities and borouqhs are completely covered. The regional and unclassified roads or access roads and the town centre for smaller towns and boroughs are included.
One way streets, pedestrian zones, turn bans and other traffic regulations are taken into account as far as possible. There may be discrepancies between the data on the navigation CD and the actual local situation, due to permanent changes to road systems and their traffic regulations.
Under normal operating conditions, the navigation system requires approximately eight seconds to confirm the vehicle's position using the satellites. If the vehicle power supply has been interrupted, or if the vehicle has been transported to a new location on another vehicle (e.g. by trailer or train), the navigation system will require approximately one minute to identify the new position.
Navigation CD's
Your navigation unit is supplied with one navigation CD of your choice.
There are a total of 8 CD's that cover the whole road network of the USA. Each CD contains the major routes throughout the country plus detail mapping of one zone. You should already have been given details of how to order further CD's by your Land Rover Retailer.
CHANGING THE MAP CD
Map CDs contain road maps covering one or more countries or regions. These maps are revised at regular intervals. Your Retailer can provide this information.
The navigation computer holding the map CD is located in the rear left side of the luggage compartment or load area.
If your navigation system indicates that you are about to leave the area covered by the map CD currently inserted, you should change the map CD in the navigation system.
To change the map CD:
- Pull the release handle to open the cover and gain access to the navigation CD unit.
- Press the eject button to remove the current CD and insert the new one.
- Wait for eight seconds for the new CD to start.
