Lincoln Navigation System Features
Get Directions for Life
With the Lincoln Navigation System, Lincoln makes life,
and traveling, easier.
Voice Commands
To aid and assist drivers by providing
the ability to interact with the navigation
& audio system, the vehicle is equipped
with voice recognition capability. To
engage the voice command system, the
VOICE switch located on the steering
wheel must be pressed each time a
command is spoken. See owner’s guide
for a complete list of commands and
some are listed below. Speak commands
in natural voice after hearing the beep.
The Lincoln Navigation System uses an
on-board computer that interacts with the
GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites,
vehicle sensors and the Map Database
to give you the precise location of your
vehicle and guide you to your destination.
Vehicle location is gathered by a combi-
nation of three navigation calculations:
GPS signal, dead-reckoning and map-
matching.
The
GPS signal
is obtained through the
GPS receiver located on your Lincoln.
There are currently 24 earth-orbiting
GPS satellites that are constantly transmit-
ting time radio signals. Your Lincoln
Navigation System requires a minimum
of four satellites at any given time to cal-
culate your vehicle’s position. GPS signals
may be temporarily lost when traveling in
tunnels, mountains or areas with large
buildings. The Lincoln Navigation System
will continue to function as normal despite
the temporary GPS signal loss because
of dead-reckoning.
Dead-reckoning
allows the Lincoln
Navigation System to accurately predict
the vehicle position despite the degrada-
tion or loss of a GPS signal. A speed
sensor on the wheels of your Lincoln
and an internal gyroscope provide the
navigation system with distance and
direction data respectively, that is then
used to store a highly accurate image of
the path your vehicle has traveled. This
information, used in conjunction with
map-matching, enables the system to
provide precise guidance advice despite
the temporary loss of a GPS signal.
Map-matching
is the process of
comparing the vehicle’s position, heading,
distance and speed data produced by
the vehicle sensors against the data from
the map database, to determine the most
likely location of the vehicle relative to
the map.
The display menus that prompt you for
your destination selection are part of
the navigation software. The navigation
software is stored in the navigation
system and interacts with a map database
DVD to guide you through the process
of selecting your destination.

the headaches of driving, gives you
driving directions that account for
important details for the road you’re
on, including one-ways, turn restric-
tions, highway dividers, and other
navigable attributes.
