x If you press the Normal mode function key, a “real route guidance” starts.
The sequence of events and the operations in virtual route guidance are similar to those in real route guidance. Once a manual location has been entered, the virtual route guidance starts from that position.
Virtual route guidance is repeated when you reach the fictitious destination and always starts again from the starting point if it is interrupted.
When real route guidance is started following route guidance in demo mode, the unit first has to reori-ent itself. Depending on the number of currently received satellites, this orientation may take some time. Vehicle movement can reduce the re-orientation time.
If the vehicle is moved and the unit can determine its current location by GPS, any manually entered location will be overwritten with the current vehicle location.
Disable demo mode after use, otherwise you will be prompted to choose between virtual and normal route guidance each time you start route guidance.
