34Navigation OverviewHow does the navigation system work, and how is it operated?
An optimal route is defined using sensors, satellites and
traffic reports and the driver is then guided to his or her desti-
nation.The current vehicle position is determined using a system of satellites (GPS -
Global Positioning System). Sensors in the vehicle measure distances that
have been driven. Thanks to the detailed information on the navigation CD
the measurements values are compared and if necessary they are updated
using the traffic reports ( TMC = Traffic Message Channel). An optimal route to
the destination is determined in this way.
Navigation announcements and direction arrows shown on the screen and on
the instrument panel
7) guide you safely and conveniently to your destina-
tion. You can drive to a given address in towns you are unfamiliar with, or
drive to the nearest garage or be guided to a hotel.

SafetyThe navigation system determines the po sition of the vehicle, the direction
and distance and the route to a selected destination without taking traffic
regulations into account. Navigation recommendations are given as
announcements by the system. Direction arrows are also shown on the
screen. The destination is entered when the vehicle is stationary. The desti-
nation guide function is designed for ca rs and is thus unsuitable for larger
commercial vehicles.

WARNING
•
Please observe the laws of road traffic legislation when following the
recommendations made by your navigation system.
•
The destination guide is subject to constant changes despite the infor-
mation about one-way streets, pedestrian zones etc. stored on the naviga-
tion CD. Information on traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking
and stopping restrictions as well as lane constrictions is not included in
the navigation system. Traffic signs and legislation always have priority
over the recommendations made by the system.
•
Adjust your speed to suit road traffi c conditions and also weather and
visibility conditions. Do not follow the instructions of the navigation
system exclusively.

⇒ page 20, “Important information on operating the CD player”.
Note
•
Note that a soiled or damaged navigation CD may negatively effect the
functions of the navigation system.
•
The extent to which small villages, streets and house numbers are
contained on the CD depends on the CD version.
•
You will need a new navigation CD for every country that you travel to.
•
The content of the CD is constantly being updated. You will receive infor-
mation on new updates at your next SEAT Official Service.
•
The navigation functions are limited if no navigation CD is inserted
⇒ page 56, “The destination guide without the navigation CD”.
General notesYou can continue to listen to the radio or CD whilst you are being guided to
your destination. Further informat ion can be found in the chapter ⇒page 56,
“The destination guide without the navigation CD”.
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 Milton Keynes.
The route will be recalculated if you leave or disregard the route that was orig-

Route options can be altered whilst the destination guide function is active.
The changed parameters will be used as a basis for the calculation of the
remaining journey.
Highway , Ferry , To l l or Tunnel : Establishes if the sect ion of a route includes
highways, a ferry, toll roads or tunnels. These options will, however, be used
for route planning if there is no other logical route to the destination (e.g. an
island is to be used without using a ferry) (“ No”).
To avoid a route from a point
During the destination guide, this option may be used to manually block a
section of the route on the menu which follows ⇒page 55, “To block
sections and consult information from a route”.
Note
•
The dynamic route guide option will only function if you are receiving at
least one TMC radio station. During the destination guide, the TMC station
must be selected if the sound source is the radio.
•
The quality of the dynamic destinatio n guide depends on the information
contained in the traffic announcements. The stations and / or traffic informa-
tion providers are responsible for the quality of the information given.
•
In some cases, in order to avoid a traffic jam using the TMC instructions,
no benefit is noticeable if traffic is heavy on the alternative route.
To select a destination using its geographical position
A destination can be entered using the exact coordinates for
longitude and latitude.– Press the button.
–Press Position if you want to enter your destination using coordi-
nates. – Use the menu button to enter

mate the position of your location:
For latitude, 1° corresponds to approximately 111 km, 1 arc minute approxi-
mately 1.85 km and 0.1 hundredth of an arc minute approximately 3 m
For longitude, 1° corresponds to approximately 69 km, 1 arc minute approxi-
mately 1.15 km and 0.1 hundredth of an arc minute approximately 3 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.

destination guide is limited or may not work.
Traffic problems during dynamic destination guide
If, while the destination guide is working, a traffic problem arises on the
route, an audio message will indicate the traffic problems or, just before the
problem, will indicate that there are traffic problems.
The navigation system will calculate the quickest possible route when the
dynamic destination guide option is active. The system might well guide you
through a traffic jam if the diversion would be longer.
To display the received traffic reports
Pressing the button displays a list of the latest traffic reports from
the received TMC station.
Rotating and pressing the menu button, additional information on the traffic
report is displayed. Thus, information may be obtained on route traffic and
the route may be altered before beginning the destination guide.
Note

least one TMC radio station. During the destination guide, the TMC station
must be listened to.

travelling through it.
Route list
The route list is updated during the journey. It shows the roads or streets that
you have not yet reached. Route sections that you have already travelled will
be deleted from the route list.
Pressing the menu button, more info rmation can be found on different
stretches. The blocked stretches are indicated by the symbol “ !” in a black
box.
Note
•
It takes some seconds after the destination guide has started for the route
list to be compiled for display.
•
The type and the quantity of the proposed alternative routes in case of a
blockage depends on the navigation CD content.
The destination guide without the navigation CD
With the destination guide active, the navigation CD may be
changed for an audio CD.The navigation function is still available, although in a limited form, without
the corresponding CD. In this case, the internal reader may be used to play an
audio or MP3 CD without having to reinsert the navigation CD. For this, all of
the data on the CD concerning the route is stored in the “temporary memory”
and with the data from this “tempo rary memory” the destination entry
dynamic TMC guide options are limited. The “content” of the temporary
memory depends on the length of the route that must be recorded. The
shorter the route, the more details may be stored in the temporary memory
and the more functions will be available without any need to insert the navi-
gation CD. If the route is long, or unexpected deviations are taken (for example, to avoid a traffic jam based on
TMC reports), the navigation CD will
be requested to resume the destination guide.
In the navigation menu, the equipment in dicates that it is transferring data
from the navigation CD to the temporary memory by a CD symbol after the title
NAVIGATION; The navigation CD can only be removed when this symbol
disappears. If the navigation CD is removed anyway, the route calculation or
destination guide can not be resumed correctly.
During the destination guide using stored data, that is, without the naviga-
tion CD, the CD symbol appears crossed out.
