Route guidanceIntroductionOnce route guidance has started, the route is calculated according to the data
selected in route options.
The unit switches to the map view. You are guided to your chosen destination
by announcements and visual recommendations.
If dynamic route guidance is activated, TMC traffic reports will be taken into
account in the route calculation ⇒ page 70.
The route options can be changed manually while route guidance is in
progress.
All of the unit's audio sources are available during route guidance.

Dynamic route
If dynamic route guidance is activated, TMC traffic reports will be taken into
account in the route calculation ⇒page 70.
Excluding types of route in the calculation
The function buttons , etc. define whether or not these
types of road may be included in the route calculation.
Even when excluded, these types of route will still be included in the route
calculation if no practical alternative route exists. For example, if it is impos-
sible to reach an island without using the ferry. For the calculation of very long
routes, it is not possible to avoid motorways.
Navigation announcementsWhen the route has been calculated, the first announcement is given. Up to
three navigation announcements are given before a turn, e.g. within a town
“Prepare to turn left”, “Turn left after 300 metres” and “Now turn left”.•Press the setting knob ⇒page 8, fig. 1 to hear the last navigation
announcement again.
The distances that are announced depend on the type of road and the speed
at which you are driving. On motorways, the first announcement is given
roughly 2,000 m before an exit.
For example, the following announcements may be heard on multi-lane high-
ways or roads that divide, and at roundabouts: “Take the second exit at the
roundabout!”.
When you arrive at your destination, the following announcement is heard:
“You have reached the destination”.
During dynamic route guidance, you receive information about reported
traffic congestion on the route. If the route is recalculated due to traffic
congestion, you will be advised accordingly ⇒page 70.
Announcement settings.
Navigation announcements are played at the preset volume.
The volume of an announcement can be changed with the volume control
D.
All following announcements will then be made at this volume.
The volume of navigation announcements can be preset or switched off in the
Navigation setup menu ⇒ page 73 or in the volume settings ⇒page 88.
