If an additional waypoint
(intermediate destination) is
currently set for route guidance, a
message prompts you to decide:
if route guidance to both the
waypoint and the final destination should be cancelled, or,
if route guidance only to the
waypoint should be cancelled.
If you cancel route guidance only to a waypoint: the navigation system
automatically recalculates the route to guide you to the final destination.
Settings for route calculation and
guidance
Before starting route guidance, but also when route guidance is already
active, you can set several criteria for route calculation/recalculation and
route guidance.Press the NAV button, and then
select the Options menu item to open
the ROUTE OPTIONS menu.
The following menu options are

Available settings:
Off : no TMC messages are taken
into account for route calculation.
Navigation67
Automatic: all TMC messages are
automatically taken into account for
route calculation/recalculation.
Prompt : in the event of a traffic jam
or other traffic incidents, for which
the navigation system receives a
TMC message, you will be
prompted by a message:
if an alternative route to the
destination should be calculated
or
if the previously calculated route
should remain unchanged.
The messages will be shown on the display even if an audio mode (e.g.
AM/FM or CD) or the telephone
mode are currently active.
■ Route mode : select, if the fastest,
the most economical, or the
shortest route should be calculated for route guidance.
■ Motorways : select, if motorways
should be avoided or utilised for
route guidance.

Adding a waypoint (intermediate destination) to the routeAt any time during active route
guidance you can add a waypoint to
your route.Press the NAV button, and then
select the Destination menu item or
the Previous Destinations menu item.
In the message that is displayed now, select the Add waypoint screen
button.
Enter or select a destination for the
waypoint, see chapter "Destination

After adding the desired waypoint, the
navigation system will calculate the
route from the current position to that new intermediate destination, and the
route from the intermediate
destination to the final destination.
The waypoint will be indicated on the
map by a red chequered flag.
After reaching the waypoint, the route
guidance will automatically proceed
with guidance to the final destination.
Notice
For every trip you can set only one
waypoint at a time. If there is a
waypoint already active when
setting a new waypoint, route
guidance to the old waypoint will be
cancelled.Enabling user defined POI
warnings
You can define "POI warnings" for
POIs that you want to be warned of
(e.g. very sharp turns on a road),
before reaching the corresponding
location.
Defining your personal POI warnings,
and downloading them to the
Infotainment system, see chapter
"Usage" 3 37.
Enabling POI warnings:
Press the SETUP button, select the
Navigation menu item, and then set
POI Warning to On.
Dynamic guidance If dynamic route guidance is active,
the entire current traffic situation that the Infotainment system receives via
TMC is included in the calculation of
the route. The route is suggested
taking into account all traffic problems
or restrictions as per preset criteria
(e.g. „shortest route“, „avoid
motorways“ etc.).
Navigation71
In the case of a traffic problem (e.g.
traffic jam, closed road) on the route
you are driving, a message is
displayed, and a voice message
output indicating the nature of the
problem. The driver can decide,
whether to drive around the traffic
problem taking the suggested change
to the route or to carry on through the traffic problem.
Nearby traffic problems are also
reported if route guidance is not
active.
If route guidance is active, the system
continuously checks, based on the
traffic information, whether it would
be better to recalculate the route or
take an alternative route taking into
account the current traffic situation.
The activation and deactivation of
dynamic route guidance, as well as
criteria for the calculation of the route,
are made in the ROUTE OPTIONS
menu, see chapter "Guidance" 3 65.
Dynamic route guidance only works if
traffic information is received via the
RDS-TMC traffic information system.
The possible delay due to a traffic
problem calculated by the
Infotainment system is based on data
that the system receives via the RDS- TMC station currently set. The actual
delay may deviate from the calculated delay.
Maps
All map data required for use of the
navigation system is stored on an SD
card provided with the Infotainment
system.
Map SD card The SD card reader of the
Infotainment system can only read
the SD card provided specifically for
use with the vehicle's navigation
system. The SD card reader cannot
read any other SD cards.
Due to production date of the map
data on the SD card, some new roads
may not be included, or some names and roads may differ from those in
use at the time the map data was produced.
To order additional SD cards or an
update of the map data, contact a
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
