Word-matching principle
The system's word-matching principle makes it
easier to enter the name s of towns or streets.
The system runs ongoing checks, comparing
your destination entries wi th the data stored in
the vehicle as the basis for instant response. The
user benefits include:
> Town/city names can also be entered differ-
ently from the official names if you use a
form that is customary in other countries.
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/
cities and streets the system will complete
them automatically as soon as enough let-
ters are available to ensure unambiguous
identification.
> The system offers only those letters for
selection of name entries that are stored in
the vehicle. The system will not accept non
existent names and addresses.

The traffic conditions are monitored by traffic
control centers and the traffic information is
updated periodically.

relevant to the route you are planning to take is
automatically shown and taken into account in
route planning. Irrespective of whether route
guidance is active, you can have the traffic infor-
mation displayed in the map display or as an
event list.
The symbol in the toolbar of the map view
turns red if traffic info rmation relates to the
calculated route.
