■ Demo Mode : the demo mode
enables you to plan your trip, and
provides an overview of the route.
The demo mode requires a start
position, that may be different from
your current position, and a
destination.
To set a start position: see Set Start
Location For Demo below.
To set a destination: use one of the usual options for destination input
3 48.

menu option to On. Route guidance
is now simulated.
Please note, that in demo mode the
displayed estimated arrival time or
remaining travel time, see
"Information on the map display"
above, is not realistic. In demo
mode the simulated vehicle speed
is unrealistically high, toaccomplish a short execution time
for a simulated trip.
To return to normal route guidance: set the menu option to Off.
■ Set Start Location For Demo :
displays a menu for the manual
input of a start position.

User defined points of interest
In addition to the predefined points of interest (POI) stored on the map SD
card, you can create user defined
POIs that meet your special personal
needs. After creation, such user
defined POIs can be downloaded to
the Infotainment system.
You can create two different types of
user defined POIs:
(1) Destination POIs : POIs that you
can use as destinations for route
guidance.
For each POI you need to define the GPS coordinates (longitude and
latitude values) of the POI's location
and a descriptive name.
After downloading the POI data to the Infotainment system, you will find the
POI name (e.g. "Michaels house") in
the menu for user defined POIs3 48. You can select the regarding
menu item as destination for route
guidance.
(2) POI warnings : POIs that you want
to be warned of ( e.g. very sharp turns
on a road), before reaching the
corresponding location.
For each POI you need to define the
GPS coordinates (longitude and
latitude values) of the POI's location
and a descriptive warning message.
After downloading the POI data to the Infotainment system, and in case
route guidance is active:
When the vehicle approaches the
POI location defined by the GPS
coordinates, the corresponding
warning message (e.g. "Very sharp turn") will be displayed.
Using the menu option POI Warning
Distance in the NAVIGATION
SETUP menu, see above, you can
define, in which distance before
reaching a user defined POI the
related warning message should be
displayed.Creating user defined POIs
For each POI type you need to create
a separate text file, e.g. by using a
simple text editor software.Destination POIs
1. Create a text file with an arbitrary name and the file extension .asc,
e.g. "TomsDestinationPOIs.asc".
2. The POI data need to be entered into the text file in the following
format:
Longitude coordinate, Latitude
coordinate, "Name of POI [ any
comment ]"

Navigation47
Example: 9.9800000,
52.0150000, "Michaels House
[ Fleet Street ]"
Please note, that the text shown
above has to be entered in a
single line, see image above.
3. Get the required GPS coordinates, e.g. from a
topographical map.
The GPS coordinates need to be
expressed in decimal degrees, as shown in the example above.
4. Enter the Longitude and Latitude coordinates into the text file,
separated by a comma and a
space.
5. Enter an arbitrary name for the POI, and, if desired, an optional
comment in square brackets.
The name and comment must be enclosed by quotation marks, and
separated from the GPS
coordinates by a comma and a
space.6. Enter further POI data, using a separate line for each POI, into
the text file, as described above.
7. Store the text file, e.g. on your local hard drive.POI warnings
Create a separate text file with an
arbitrary name and the file
extension .asc, e.g.
"TomsPOIWarnings.asc".
The further operating steps for
creating a text file with POI warnings are the same as described for
destination POIs, see above.
The only difference is: instead of
creating a name (e.g. "Michaels
house") you need to create a warning message (e.g. "Very sharp turn").
Storing the text files on a USB drive 1. In the root directory of a USB drive: create a folder named" myPOIs ", e.g. "F:\myPOIs",
where "F:\" is the root directory of
the USB drive.
2. In the "myPOIs" folder, store the text file with destination POIs,
e.g. "F:\myPOIs
\TomsDestinationPOIs.asc".
3. In the folder "myPOIs" create a subfolder named
" myPOIWarnings ".
4. In that subfolder store the text file with POI warnings, e.g.
"F:\myPOIs\myPOIWarnings
\TomsPOIWarnings.asc"
Downloading the user defined POIs
Connect the USB drive with your user
defined POI data to the USB port
3 31 of the Infotainment system.

To start the download: press the
SETUP button, select the Navigation
screen button, select the Download
my POIs now menu item, and then

Notice
If route guidance is active, a
message is displayed before the
ENTER DESTINATION menu will be
opened.
You need to decide first, if you want
to add a waypoint (an intermediate
destination) to the currently set
destination, or if you want to replace
the currently set destination by a
new destination.
Detailed description on adding a
waypoint to a destination, see
chapter "Guidance" 3 65.
The ENTER DESTINATION menu
is the main entry point for entering
and/or selecting destinations, see
"Entering an address directly" and
subsequent paragraphs below.
■ Previous Destinations : displays a
list with destinations, that were
previously used for route guidance.
You can select an entry from that
list to set it as your new destination,
see "Selecting a previous
destination" below.
■ Home : displays a menu that you
can use to store an address as your home address, and/or to select
your already stored home address

as new destination, see "Entering
and selecting the home address"
below.
The menu options Options, Route ,
and Cancel Route are described in
the "Guidance" chapter 3 65.
Using menus with keypads for address input When using the various options for
address input, you often need to enter
address data using menus with
keypads.
The keypads use an intelligent
spelling function, which excludes
nonexistent letter or number
combinations.
The use of menus with keypads will
be described below by the example of
entering a city name:
Successively select the letters for the desired city name. During this
process the system will automatically
block letters that cannot occur next in the city name.
If you need to enter a letter or special character that is not provided by the
currently displayed keypad, select the More screen button once or several
times, until a keypad is displayed that
provides the required letter or special character.How many keypads are available,
and which letters or special
characters are provided by the
keypads, depend on the particular situation.
To delete already entered letters,
select the Delete screen button once
or several times.
If the system finds a city name in its
address memory that matches the
already entered letters, that name is
displayed (in grey letters), see image
above.

50Navigation
In case the displayed city name is the
one you are searching for, you can
select the OK screen button to directly
add that city name to your destination
address.
The number in the menu's top right
corner shows, how many city names
starting with the entered letters were
found in the system's address
memory. If that number exceeds 999, "> 999" is displayed, see image
above.
With entering further letters, the
number of city names matching the
entered letters will decrease.
As soon as the number of matching
city names is equal or less than 5, a
list with the matching city names is automatically displayed.
Alternatively, you can select the List
screen button at any time to force the
system to display a list with all city
names that match the already
entered letters.
In both cases you can then select a
list entry to add the related city name
to your destination address.
Notice
If the system only finds a single city name in its address memory that
matches the entered letters, it will
display no list, but directly add the
relating city name to the destination address.

select the Destination menu item to
open the ENTER DESTINATION
menu.
