has been entered. Use the following data to estimate the position of your
location:
for latitude, 1° corresponds to approximately 111 km, 1 arc minute approxi-
mately 1.85 km and 1 hundredth of an arc minute approximately 18.5 m.
for longitude, 1° corresponds to approximately 69 km, 1 arc minute approxi-
mately 1.15 km and 1 hundredth of an arc minute approximately 11.5 m.
Note
If you set the longitude higher than
180° or lower than 0°, the E will be
replaced by a W (western longitude). Latitudes can be set from 90°N via 0° to
90°S and back only.

Function keys in the route option menu•
Fast or Short: Determines whether a fast or short route should be calcu-
lated.
•
Dynam. : Dynamic route guidance responds to traffic reports broadcast by
TMC stations. This function will automatically guide you round traffic jams or
blocked roads.
, or – Determines whether motorways, ferries or toll
roads should be used. These options will, however, be used for calculation if
there is no other logical route to the destination (e.g. an island is to be used
without using a ferry).
– Stores the selected settings for future route guidance usage.
Dynamic route guidance
An announcement that there are traffic jams on your route will be made if a
traffic jam is registered. “You will also be warned directly before the” “traffic
jam itself”.
Once the dynamic route guidance function has been activated you will be
informed that “the route is being calculat ed taking into account traffic news”.
Traffic problems are indicated by a symbol on the map:
Traffic jam ⇒page 39, fig. 38
Slow-moving traffic
Road closed The navigation system will calculate the quickest possible route when the
dynamic route guidance option is active. The system might well guide you
through a traffic jam if the diversion would be longer.
Note
•
The dynamic route guidance option will only function if you are receiving
at least one TMC radio station.
•
The MFD2 radio navigation system will automatically look for a new TMC
station if you leave the re ception area of the one you are using. The station
you are listening to, however, does not have to be a TMC station.
•
The dynamic route guidance option wi ll always use motorways, ferries
and toll roads.
•
The navigation CD-ROM should be compatible with the TMC data.
•
The quality of the dynamic route guidance depends on the information
contained in the traffic announcements. The radio stations broadcasting this
information are responsible for the content.
