Route selection
You can influence the calculated route by choos-
ing certain route criteria. You can change the
route criteria as often as you like during destina-
tion entry or during destination guidance.
The route is planned according to fixed rules.
The type of road is taken into account, e.g.
whether it is a highway or a winding road. The
road types are stored on the navigation DVD. As
a result, the routes recommended by the navi-
gation system may not always be the same ones
that you would choose based on personal expe-
rience.
Changing route criteria
1.Select "Navigation".
2.Select "Route preference".
The various criteria are listed on the Control
Display.3.Select a route criterion for the route:
>"With highways"
Highways and main traffic thoroughfares
are selected.
>"Avoid highways"
Highways are avoided if possible.
>"Fast route"
short time through combination of the
shortest possible distance and routes
that can be driven quickly
>"Short route"
short distance without taking time into
account
The route criterion is selected.
4.Select any additional criteria for the route, if
necessary:
>"Dynamic route"
Automatic changing of the route in the
event of traffic obstructions. Depending
on road type and the kind and extent of
the traffic obstruction, the guided route
may lead through the traffic obstruction.
>"Avoid tollroads"
Tollroads are avoided if possible.
>"Avoid ferries"
Ferries are avoided if possible.
The route criterion is selected.
The route criteria can also be changed in the
arrow or map view:
Select the corresponding sym-
bol.
If the route criteria "Avoid highways",
"Avoid tollroads" or "Avoid ferries" are
selected, then this can add significantly to the
calculation time of the route.<

Word-matching principle
The system's word-matching principle makes it
easier to enter the names of towns or streets.
The system runs ongoing checks, comparing
your destination entries with the data stored on
the navigation DVD as the basis for instant
response. The benefits for you include:
>Names of towns entered may differ from the
official versions if you are using a spelling
that is customary in another country.
Example:
Instead of "München", you can also enter
the English spelling "Munich" or the Italian
spelling "Monaco".
>When you are entering the names of towns
and streets the system will complete them
automatically as soon as enough letters are
available to ensure unambiguous identifica-
tion.
>The system offers only those letters for
selection of name entries that are stored on
the navigation DVD. Thus, entry of errone-
ous or unregistered names is impossible.

Traffic information during destination
guidance
Depending on whether "Dynamic route" is
selected, refer to page118, the system behaves
in different ways.
Displaying traffic obstructions
If a traffic obstruction is reported in the naviga-
tion system and "Dynamic route" is not selected,
starting from a distance of approx. 25 miles/
40 km, you will begin receiving certain informa-
tion, e.g. the length of the traffic jam will be dis-
played.
The last possible detour exit is indicated just
before you reach it.This information is displayed even if you have
called up another application on the Control Dis-
play.
Dynamic route planning
If "Dynamic route" is selected, then the route is
automatically changed in the event of traffic
obstructions. The system will not point out traffic
obstructions on the original route.
Depending on road type and the kind and
extent of the traffic obstruction, the newly calcu-
lated route may still lead through the traffic
obstruction.

position
You can have your current position displayed
even when the destination guidance is switched
off.
1.Select "Navigation".
2.Move the highlight marker to the fourth field
from the top. Select "Current position".
The current position of your MINI is displayed.
If the navigation system is unable to identify a
town or city, your current map coordinates will
appear.

played on a map, page121. Slow traffic or other traffic event

What to do if …
What to do if …
>a navigation DVD is inserted, but an instruc-
tion to insert the DVD appears on the Control
Display?
The navigation DVD may not be the correct
DVD for the navigation system. This infor-
mation is indicated on the DVD label.
>you request the current position of your
vehicle, but do not receive a precise display?
The system is unable to receive enough GPS
signals at your current position due to
obstructions, your current position is not yet
available on your navigation DVD, or the sys-
tem is in the process of calculating your cur-
rent position. As a rule, reception is guaran-
teed when you are in the open.
>the destination guidance does not accept a
destination?
The data of the destination is not stored on
the navigation DVD that is loaded. Choose a
destination as close as possible to the origi-
nal one.
>the destination guidance does not accept an
address without the street name?
On the navigation DVD, no downtown area
can be determined for the city or town
entered. Enter any street, or a destination
such as the railway station in the selected
town, and then start the destination guid-
ance.
>you want to enter a destination for the des-
tination guidance, but it is not possible to
select the letters for your desired entry?
The data of the destination is not stored on
the navigation DVD that is loaded. In this
case, the system will not offer you any letters
to choose from. Choose a destination as
close as possible to the original one.
>the system stops furnishing directions on
which way to turn as you approach intersec-
tions?
You are driving in an area that has not yet
been completely recorded on the navigation
DVD. Instead of an arrow indicating a turn, you will see an arrow which indicates the
general direction of your planned route. Or
you have left the recommended route and
the system requires a few seconds to calcu-
late a new recommended route.
>the navigation system does not react to
entries?
If the battery was disconnected, it takes
about 10 minutes before the system is once
again operational.
