destinations
Up to 50 destinations for which route guidance has been started are auto-
matically stored in the Last destinations list
⇒ Fig. 57.
Old last destinations are automatically overwritten by new destinations
when the list is full. To permanently retain one of the last destinations, it
must be stored in the Destination memory.
● In the list of last destinations, mark the destination you wish to store
⇒ Fig. 57.

● Press the desired settings to select them in the pop-up window.
Route criteriaMeaningFastFastest route to the destination, even if it means driv-
ing further.
EconomicalThis function aims to find an equilibrium between the
shortest time and the shortest route.
Shortshortest route to the destination, even if it results in a
longer travelling time. The navigation route may in-
clude unusual route sections, e.g. dirt roads.
Dynamic route
If dynamic route guidance is activated, TMC traffic reports will be taken into
account in the route calculation ⇒ page 69.
Excluding types of route in the calculation
The function buttons Avoid motorways
, 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 announcements
When 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 ⇒ Fig. 1 10
to repeat the last navigation an-
nouncement.
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
highways or roads that divide, and at roundabouts: “Take the second exit at
the roundabout!”. More than one instruction may be necessary when navi-
gating very large roundabouts. In any case, the exit to be taken is always
displayed in relation to the position of the vehicle at the time the instruction
is given.
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 con-
gestion, you will be advised accordingly ⇒ page 69.
Announcement settings.
Navigation announcements are played at the preset volume.
The volume of an announcement can be changed with the volume control
. 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 72 or in the volume settings
⇒ page 100.

guidance, the arrow indicating a change of direction takes precedence over
the speed limit display.
Please remember that the navigation data may not be up-to-date and that
the system has limitations ⇒ page 45! The speed limit display is activated in the navigation system settings
⇒ page 72.
Points of interest on map
Depending on the programmed settings, points of interest (petrol stations,
car parks, Technical Services) will be displayed as symbols on the map
⇒ page 72.
Note
If you miss a turning during route guidance and are currently unable to turn
back, keep on driving until the navigation system offers a new route.
Note
The quality of the instructions given by the unit will depend on the naviga-
tion data used.
Note
In addition, the route is optimised with the TMC traffic news received
⇒ page 69. The radio stations broadcasting this information are responsi-
ble for the content and the quality of the TMC traffic reports.

if the unit has access to navigation data for the area you are currently travel-
ling through.
Note
The quality of the dynamic route guidance depends on the information con-
tained in the TMC traffic reports. The radio stations are responsible for the
content of the news broadcast.
Route guidance in demo mode
If demo mode is activated in the Navigation setup menu ⇒ page 72, an ad-
ditional pop-up window opens when you start route guidance.
● Pressing the Demo
function button starts a “virtual route guidance” to
the destination you have entered.
● If you press the Normal
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 Navi-
gation 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 72.
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. Mov-
ing the vehicle may speed up the reorientation process.
