2005 AUDI A8 navigation system

Navigation (NAV) 142Av o id ro u t eYou can select this function once calculated route guidance
is active.
–Press the Route control button in the navigation menu.
– Select Avoid route from here
page 139, fig.145.
– By rotating and pressing the control knob, select the
section on the presently calculated route from the
vehicle position.
– By pressing the control knob, you confirm the section
you wish to avoid.The Navigation System will calculate an alternative route for the
section of the route you wish to avoid.
If you stop route guidance and restart it, the blocked out section
entered is cancelled and has to be reset if required.
Tips


If the Avoid route from here fun ction is greyed out or the Na vig a-
tion System does not calculate an alternate route, local conditions
are making this impossible.


If the recommended detour route is not followed, the system
automatically calculates a new route from the current position
without given further consideration to the previously closed
section.
Map control buttonGeneral
There are various displays for maps and information
with different options possible.Fig. 149 Navigation: Map display with an IPD areaPossible map displays are:

If light grey lines
fig.149 are shown on the map display, this
means that IPD sections/areas are being shown. IPD means “in-
progress-data”, i.e data collection is incomplete and consequently
they cannot be included for route guidance. These IPD
sections/areas are on the Navigation DVD and are represented on

fig.149. These directional arrows point in the compass direc-
tion/a direct line to the destination.

initially be guided by directional arrows. As soon as you leave the
IPD area, route guidance will start . In
page 142, fig.149 an
example is shown of a directional arrow in an IPD area.
If your destination should lie in an IPD area, the Navigation System
will guid e you up to the star t of the IPD area. In the IPD area you will
be guided by directional arrows.
If your route guidance includes an IPD area, you will be advised of
this by a voice message when route guidance starts (“It is possible
that there a re un fore seen tra ffic reg ulations on the way to the des ti-
nation.”).
Tips
Route guidance is additionally shown by directional arrows in the
instrument cluster display
page 113 or
page 114. In an IPD
area, the directional arrows in the instrument cluster display point
in the compass direction/a direct line to the destination.
