Some address positions are already pre-filled with the data of the last destina-
tion.
The pre-filled positions can be adjusted by touching the item and then adjust-
ing it in the input screen » page 8.
To start navigation, you need to enter country, city and street.
The information is entered step by step in individual input screens.
When entering the street, instead of a street name, it is possible to select the centre of the entered city by touching Centre. Then it is no longer necessary to
enter the house number or junction.
Both the house number and also a further address supplement in the form of a number can be entered. The system displays a list of destinations found from
combinations of the two numbers.
If the entered house number was not found, a menu opens to clarify the desti-
nation:
■ No house number - Enter an address without a house number and display a
menu with destination details
■ Nearest house number: - Confirmation of the proposed house number
■ Enter junction - Open a menu with junctions with the selected street
If the address is entered correctly, destination details are dis-

The destination can be entered on the map by using the GPS coordinates or
the crosshairs » Fig. 36.
GPS coordinates
The destination can be entered through the degrees of latitude and longitude
(GPS coordinates).
By pressing the function button with the degree of latitude or longitude for
the location, a menu appears with the specification option. Use the function
keys with the symbol /
 . Touching the screen outside of the function but-
tons calls up a basic menu for entering the location on the map.
The crosshairs move to the coordinates entered, which allows for checking of
the destination entered.
Crosshairs
The crosshairs show the position of the address which was previously entered.
The desired destination can be set by dragging your finger over the map to the
centre of the crosshairs.
The contact point is moved into the crosshairs through the finger movement
and at the same time the degrees of latitude and longitude are adjusted to the
point entered.
The symbol  displays the current map scale. This can be changed while the
entry is being made » page 47.
The bottom of the screen displays the address or the longitude and latitude of
the selected item.

51Navigation

Route calculation
The route is calculated automatically according to the entered destination. The calculation takes the settings of the route options » page 44 (route type, dy-
namic route, etc.) into account.
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or
change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Navigation an-
nouncements can only then be re-transmitted.
If Demo mode is switched on » page 45, a prompt appears asking whether you
want the guidance to start in demo mode or normal mode.
The Demo mode displays a simulated drive to the destination entered. There is
the option of travelling the calculated route “as a simulation” just on the
screen.
If an alternative route option is set, function keys are displayed, following the
calculation, for the route types with information on the route length and the
expected travelling time.
Route type economical
fast
short
Selecting the route type will start route guidance.
If the option for alternative routes is disabled, the route is calculated and route
guidance is started according to the preferred route » page 44.
It is possible to select a pre-calculated route before the calculation of the re-
maining routes is completed.
The unit tries to allow for continued guidance even if the navigation data is in-
complete or there is no data at all for the given area (e.g., one-way streets,
road types, etc.).
Interrupt and continue route guidance
If the ignition is switched off and on again and the key was left in the ignition
(in vehicles with the KESSY system, when the ignition was switched off):
› Within 30 min - route guidance is continued taking into account the calcula-
ted route
› Between 30 and 40 min - the screen switches to “standby” mode (energy-
saving mode of the screen); the route guidance continues using the calcula-
ted route› Between 40 min and 120 min - the unit screen displays the message
Contin-
ue route guidance? ; after you confirm the message, the route guidance con-
tinues using the calculated route;
› After 120 min - route guidance is cancelled.
If ignition is switched off and on again and the key removed temporarily (in
vehicles with the KESSY system, ignition switched off and the driver's door
opened):
› Within 10 min - route guidance is continued taking into account the calcula-
ted route
› Between 10 min and 120 min - the screen switches to “standby mode” (ener-
gy-saving mode of the screen); the unit screen displays the message Contin-
ue route guidance? ; after you confirm the message, the route guidance con-
tinues using the calculated route
› After 120 min - route guidance is cancelled.
Graphic navigation instructions
The graphical navigation instructions are displayed: › in the MAXI DOT display
» page 12.
› in the split screen in the unit screen
» page 49.
Navigation announcements
The device makes navigation announcements. The navigation announcements
are started as soon as the route calculation is complete or a route type has
been selected.
The navigation announcements are generated by the instrument system. The
lawless clarity of the message (eg, road or city name) cannot always be guar-
anteed.
Before turning, up to 3 recommendations are issued:
The last navigation announcement can be repeated: › by pressing the menu knob
2

» Fig. 1 on page 5 ;
› by pressing the dial
2

» Fig. 9 on page 12 on the multifunction steering
wheel.
The timing of the navigation announcement is dependent on the type of road
and the driving speed. For example, on motorways the first announcement is
given about 2000 m (6000 ft) before the place where you want to exit the mo-
torway. 

The device can obtain this information by using the following facilities:
› Traffic TP in the FM frequency range
» page 23 .
› TP in the DAB frequency range
› TMC traffic report with dynamic adjustment of the current route option
For the correct TMC function, the following conditions are required: The vehicle is within range of the FM RDS-TMC.

Touch one of the traffic report entries to display traffic report de-
tails » page 59 .
If a TMC traffic radio station is available for current location, the TMC traffic re-
ports are updated continuously in the background. The station you are listen-
ing to does not have to be a TMC station.
The reception of TMC traffic reports is always switched on and cannot be
turned off.
The accuracy of the dynamic route guidance depends on the transmitted traf-
fic reports. The radio stations broadcasting this information are responsible for
the content.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and saved by the radio navigation
system when navigation data are available for the driven area.
