Navigation data media: CD and memory cardsThe navigation data on the navi gation CDs should be copied
directly to a memory card to enable you to have complete use
of all functions of the radio-na vigation system with optimum
reading speed.
Data from several navigation CDs can be copied onto one memory
card. For this reason, make sure from the start that your memory
card has sufficient capacity ⇒page 50, “Available navigation
area”.
Inserting and ejecting navigation CDs
– Push the navigation CD with the printed side facing up into the CD slot to the point where it is automatically pulled in ⇒.
– It may take a moment for the unit to load the navigation data. Navigation will then be available for the area stored on the CD.
– Press the button to remove the navigation CD ⇒.
Copying data from the navigation CD onto a memory card
– To enable you to use navigation at optimal speed and to keep the CD drive free for audio CDs, the data on the navigation CD should
be copied onto a memory card inserted into the unit.

Compatibility of navigation CDs and memory cards
There are different generations of units in use in SEAT vehicles. The data
media for the different units are not interchangeable. You will need the navi-
gation CDs that are valid for your navigation system. Your SEAT dealership will
be pleased to help you find the right version.
For reasons of copyright, a radio-navigation system can only read navigation
data from a memory card if the data were copied onto the memory card by the
same unit.
Using an illegally recorded data medium will nearly always cause problems in
the navigation system. Age of the navigation data
The road layout is subject to constant modifications (for example, new
streets, changes to the names of the streets and the building number). Navi-
gation CDs contain a large amount of da
ta which, after some time, will unfor-
tunately no longer be up to date. This may cause problems during route guid-
ance.
For this reason, you should regularly update the navigation data you are
using. Your SEAT dealership has a selection of up-to-date navigation CDs.
WARNING
Refer to the notes on using CD players ⇒page 45.
Caution
•
Never remove a memory card while data is being copied to it. If you wish
to remove the memory card, you must fi rst cancel the copying process. To do
so, press the function selection button and then press in the
progress window. Wait until the process has finished. Removing the memory
card too early may destroy it.
•
Refer to other notes on handling data media ⇒page 45.
•
Please note that if the navigation CD or memory card is dirty or damaged,
it may be impossible to completely copy all required navigation data. This can
later seriously impair the speed and functions of the navigation system.
•
Please not that a dirty or damaged navigation CD or memory card can seri-
ously impair the speed and functions of the navigation system.Note
A radio-navigation unit can only read na vigation data from a memory card if
the data were copied onto the memory card by the same unit.

Contents of the map view
The
symbol indicates the vehicle's position and heading ⇒ page 76,
fig. 67.
During route guidance the navigation rout e is shown as a blue line. The next
road to take is displayed in the top line of the screen.
While the function buttons are not displayed ⇒page 76, fig. 68 , the road you
are currently on appears in the bottom line.
The remaining distance to the final destination is displayed next to
on the
left in the bottom line of the screen and, depending on the settings, either the
expected time of arri val or the remaining driving ti me is displayed on the right
next to
⇒ page 83, “Changing the time display”.
Shortly before you reach a turning point, a turning arrow appears on the left
of the screen indicating the direction to turn. The distance to the turning point
is displayed below it.
If the vehicle position symbol
turns grey and the map view stops moving,
the unit is currently unable to determine the vehicle's exact position (for
example, in a car park).
Navigation announcements during the journey
You will hear the first announcement after the route has been calculated, for
example, “Follow the layout of the road”. Up to three announcements will be
made before a turn has to be made to ensure that you are informed in time,
for example, “Approaching left turn”, “Turn left in 1000 feet” and “Now turn
left”.
The distances indicated depend in large part on the type of road on which you
are driving. On motorways, the first announcement is given some 2,000
metres before an exit.
On multiple-lane roads that fork, the corresponding messages are emitted,
for example, “Approaching left turn” and then “Now turn left”.
Some 1000 feet before entering a roundabout, you will be told which exit to
use, for example, “Leave at the second exit”. In a roundabout, the indication may be “Turn at the second right”. In the case of a large roundabout, a third
announcement “Turn right now” will be
given while you are on the rounda-
bout.
When you reach your destination, you will hear the announcement: “You have
reached the destination”.
If the option “Dynamic route” is ticked in the route options, you will be
informed of any reported traffic congestion along your route ⇒page 74. You
will receive an additional announcement if the route is recalculated due to
traffic congestion ⇒ page 80.
A corresponding message will be given if you have manually excluded route
sections ⇒page 79.
Settings for audible navigation indications
During a navigation announcement, you can change the volume using the
volume control ⇒page 3, fig. 1 up to a defined minimum or maximum
volume. Subsequent audible indications will be emitted at that volume.
You can also adjust or switch off the preset navigation announcement volume
in the Navigation settings menu ⇒page 82 or in the menu for volume
settings ⇒page 12 or even suppress the sound.
WARNING
Please observe the laws of road traffic legislation when following the
recommendations made by your radio and navigation system.•
It is fundamental that you are sufficiently alert while driving. Any
distraction may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury.
•
Always observe the safety information on the use of the navigation
system ⇒page 47.

The current TMC traffic reports can be displayed in a list ⇒page 84, “TRAF
function selection button”.
Representation of traffic congestion on the map
Traffic problems received via TMC that affect your route will be displayed on
the map with a colour symbol. Traffic congestion that is not on the route is
shown on the map by a grey symbol.
Generally understood symbols are used to indicate the type of traffic conges-
tion (e.g. an “overturned vehicle” for accident). The positioning of the TMC
symbol indicates which direction is affected by the congestion.
If there is reported congestion on the route, the affected route section is
coloured red. If the reported congestion is not on the route, the affected
section of road is coloured grey. If r oute guidance is not active, all traffic
congestion will be coloured grey.
Dynamic navigation
When dynamic navigation is switched on, you will be automatically diverted
during route guidance to avoid reported traffic congestion on your route if it
is calculated that the diversion will save time ⇒page 81, “Conditions for
dynamic navigation”.
Once a traffic report that is relevant for your route has been received, a
spoken announcement will be made to inform you that the route is being
recalculated to take traffic reports into account.
A similar announcement is also given if any traffic congestion that was taken
into account in the original route calc ulation has disappeared and it has now
become possible to take a more favourable route.
Conditions for dynamic navigation
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital radio data system for the constant
transmission of traffic reports.
The unit is constantly supplied with TMC traffic reports in the background,
provided that a TMC station can be received at the current location. The quality of the traffic reports sent depends on the radio station broad-
casting them. The reception of TMC traffic reports cannot be switched on or
off.
You do not have to listen to the TMC station.
The radio-navigation system can only process and store TMC traffic reports if
the unit has access to navigation data for the area you are currently travelling
through
⇒page 49.
The current TMC traffic reports can be viewed by pressing the function
selection button ⇒page 84.
Note
•
In some situations, you may find that a diversion based on the TMC infor-
mation does not save you time as th e alternative route is also congested.
•
You can also exclude an upcoming section of the route manually if traffic
congestion ahead has not yet been recorded by TMC traffic reports
⇒ page 79.

– Press in the list of current TMC traffic reports to cancel an exclusion and include the route section concerned in the route
calculation again.
During route guidance, you can also co mpletely exclude the route sections
displayed in the route list ⇒ page 79.
Excluded route sections and traffic congestion are displayed on the map
⇒ page 81, “Representation of traffic congestion on the map”.
Note
•
The unit is constantly supplied with TMC traffic reports in the background,
provided that a TMC station can be received at the current location. The
station listened to does not have to be the TMC station.
•
The radio-navigation system can only process and store TMC traffic
reports if the unit has access to navigation data for the area you are currently
travelling through ⇒page 49.
•
The quality of the dynamic route guidance depends on the information
contained in the traffic reports. The radio stations broadcasting this informa-
tion are responsible for the content.
•
TMC traffic reports are required for dynamic navigation ⇒page 80.
