The speed pulse data comes from the speed
sensing circuit. The location of this speed
sensing circuit depends on your vehicle
model. In some cases, it is impossible to
make a connection to it, and in such a case
we recommend that the ND-PG1 speed pulse
generator (sold separately) be used.
How do GPS and dead reckon-
ing work together?
For maximum accuracy, your navigation system
continually compares GPS data with your esti-
mated position as calculated from the data of 3D
Hybrid Sensor. However, if only the data from the
3D Hybrid Sensor is available for a long period,
positioning errors are gradually compounded
until the estimated position becomes unreliable.
For this reason, whenever GPS signals are avail-
able, they are matched with the data of the 3D
Hybrid Sensor and used to correct it for improved
accuracy.
To ensure maximum accuracy, the dead reckon-
ing system learns with experience. By comparing
the position it estimates with your actual position
as obtained using GPS, it can correct for various
types of error, such as tire wear and the rolling
motion of your vehicle. As you drive, the dead
reckoning system gradually gathers more data,
learns more, and the accuracy of its estimates
gradually increases. So, after you have driven
some distance, you can expect your position as
shown on the map to show fewer errors.
❒
If you use chains on your wheels for winter
driving or put on the spare wheel, errors may
suddenly increase because of difference in
wheel diameter. The system detects the fact
that the tire diameter has changed, and auto-
matically replaces the value for calculating
distance.
❒
If the ND-PG1 is used or if your vehicle is oper-
ating in Simple hybrid mode, the distance cal-
culation value cannot be replaced
automatically.
Map matching
As mentioned, the GPS and dead reckoning sys-
tems used by this navigation system are suscepti-
ble to certain errors. Their calculations may, on
occasion, place you in a location on the map
where no road exists. In this situation, the pro-
cessing 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.
