cause malfunctions and/or damage.Because of changes in local traffic patterns
(e.g. road works) and/or incomplete data,
errors in calculation may occur. As a result, the recommended route may
deviate from the ideal route. The data
stored on the DVD only reflects local con
-
ditions at the time of DVD production. DVD

within an area.
