guidance.Updating the internal navigation data memoryThe navigation data is already in the navigation data memory and can be
used directly ⇒page 48.
If the navigation database is updated, or if data from another country is over-
written, the former data will be erased and cannot be recovered.
Updating navigation data
A memory card containing updated navigation data can be obtained from an
Authorised Service.•Cancel the mechanical protection against overwriting in the memory card.•Inserting the memory card ⇒page 29. If the inserted memory card contains valid navigation data, a window opens
asking whether you wish to permanently allocate the memory card to the
radio navigation system.
Due to licensing legislation, when the copy has been completed, the memory
card will be allocated to this radio and navigation system and can
not be used
for other radio and navigation units.
•Press the function button to continue.
Information about the navigation data installed and available on the memory
card is displayed.•Press the function button to start copying the information.
No navigation functions are available during the copying process. The
copying process lasts approximately 2 hours.
Do not remove the memory card while the navigation data is being copied.
This could damage the memory card!
If the unit is switched off during the copying process, the process stops and
will start automatically when the unit is switched back on.

limit display.
Please remember that the navigation data may not be up-to-date and that the
system has limitations ⇒ page 47! The speed limit display is activated in the navigation system settings

Note
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.
Note
The quality of the dynamic route guidance depends on the information
contained in the TMC traffic reports. Th e radio stations are responsible for the
content of the news broadcast.Route guidance in demo modeIf demo mode is activated in the Navigation setup menu ⇒ page 73, an addi-
tional pop-up window opens when you start route guidance.•Pressing the function button starts a “virtual route guidance” to
the destination you have entered.•If you press the function button, a “real route guidance” starts.
The sequence of events and the operations in virtual route guidance are
similar to those in real route guidance.
Virtual route guidance is repeated when you reach the fictitious destination
and always starts again from the starting point if it is interrupted.
If the starting point for demo mode has been defined manually in the
Navigation setup menu , virtual route guidance will start from this position.
If the vehicle is moved and the unit can determine its current location by GPS,
any manually entered starting point will be overwritten with the current
vehicle location ⇒ page 73.
When real route guidance is started following virtual route guidance in demo
mode, the unit first has to reorient itself. This may take some time, depending
on the number of satellites the unit can currently receive. Moving the vehicle
may speed up the reorientation process.
