2007 SKODA OCTAVIA navigation update

Navigation11
NavigationOverviewSafety information regarding the use of the navigation systemThe route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or
change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Driving recommendations
can only then be re-transmitted.
Incomplete navigation data
The navigation system cannot receive any data from GPS satellites if you drive for
longer periods under thick forest canopy or when your vehicle is in a garage, under-
pass or tunnel. In this case, the navigation system orientates itself solely with the
help of the vehicle sensors.
In regions not at all or only partially digitalised and stored as such on the navigation
CD, the navigation system will try to prov ide guidance to the destination. Please
note that under these circumstances the guidance to the destination may not be
completely correct if, for example, one-wa y streets and road categories (motorway,
country road etc.) are not at all or only partially included in the navigation data
used.
WARNING
Please observe the legal requirements for road traffic when following the
driving recommendations provided by your radio navigation system.•
The driving recommendations provided may vary from current situa-
tions, e.g. due to road works or out of date navigation data. In such a case,
always observe the traffic regulations and ignore the driving recommenda-
tions.
•
Traffic signs and traffice regulations al ways have priority over the driving
recommendations provided by the navigation system.
•
Route guidance is subject to consta nt changes despite the information
about one-way streets, pedestrian zone s etc. stored on the navigation CD.
Information on traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking and stop- ping restrictions as well as lane constrictions and speed restrictions is not
included in the radio navigation system.
Navigation CDInserting the navigation CD
– Insert the CD into the CD case . The program stored on the naviga-
tion CD is loaded. Do not remove the navigation CD before the
loading process is finished.After route guidance has started, the na vigation CD may not be taken out under
certain circumstances, e.°g in order to play an Audio CD.
Up to date navigation data and new navigation CD
Road guidance is subject to constant changes (e.g. new streets, changes of street
names and house numbers). A navigation CD is a huge data store, which unfortu-
nately will not be up to date after a certai n time. This can lead to complaints during
route guidance.
It is for this reason that you must regula rly update the navigation data on your unit
with a current navigation CD.GeneralYou can continue to listen to the radio or play CDs during the route guidance
When entering an address (town, street), only those letters or symbols which make
up a logical entry will be presented. A list of possible names will be shown. Do not
forget to enter the blank space in names made up of more than one word, such as
High Wycombe.

The current TMC traffic reports can be di splayed by pressing the selector key
.
Traffic problems during a dynamic route guidance
The navigation system will calculate the quickest possible route during when a
dynamic route guidance option is active. If it takes longer to avoid blocked roads,
you are guided for example around the blocked roads.Block a stretch of the route and interrogate route informationManually excluding stretches of the journey
– Press the button during the current route guidance and then the function key .
– In the menu block route momentarily , you can enter and confirm
the distance taken up by the obstruction using the button . The
route is newly calculated.
– You must press the function key alternatively in the main menu of the navigation and then select block route momentarily.
Cancel entered obstruction
– Press the button and then the function key .
– You must press the function key alternatively in the main menu of the navigation and deactivate the function block route
momentarily using the button .
Look up the route list
– Press the function key during the current route guidance.
– Select the entry route list in order to be shown the stretches of the
route still to be driven.Only one obstruction can be entered for the current route guidance. You will be guided through a blocked area if there is no logical alternative to travel-
ling through it.
Route list
The route list is updated during the journe
y. It shows the roads that you have not
yet reached. Route sections that you have already travelled will be deleted from the
route list.
While pressing the button you receive further information regarding the indi-
vidual route sections. Blocked stretches of the road are displayed through a “ !” in a
black box.
Note
•
It takes some seconds after route guidance has started for the route list to be
compiled so that it can be displayed.
•
The type and number of alternative rout es offered during an obstruction is
determined by the detailed conten t of the inserted navigation CD.
Route guidance without navigation CDThe navigation function is limited and also possible when a navigation CD had been
removed. You can then use the internal drive to play audio or MP3 CDs without
using the navigation function. For this purpos e data of the navigation CD is stored
in an internal unit “corridor memory” along the route. The possibilites of the desti-
nation entry and the dynamic route guidance via TMC are only restrictively possible
with this stored “route corridor”. The “w idth” of the route corridor depends upon
the length of the total route to be stored. The shorter the route, the wider the stored
route corridor is and the more functions can be called up without inserting the
navigation CD again. You are asked to insert the navigation CD in order to continue
the route guidance during long routes or unplanned deviations from the route (e.°g
tailback leading to detours based on TMC annoucements).
A CD symbol behind the entry NAVIGATION is displayed in the navigation menu.
This means that the unit has just stored da ta of the navigation CD in the corridor
memory. The navigation CD must only be removed when the CD symbol is no
longer displayed. If the navigation CD has to be removed, a current calculation or
route guidance within the navigation cannot be properly continued.
