The navigation system will reliably guide you to your destination without
the need to read maps, even if you
have no local knowledge whatsoever.
The current traffic situation is taken
into account in the route calculation if dynamic route guidance is used. For
this purpose the Infotainment system
receives traffic announcements in the
current reception area via RDS-TMC.
The navigation system cannot,
however, take into account traffic
incidents, traffic regulations changed at short notice and hazards or
problems that arise suddenly (e.g.
road works).Caution
The usage of the navigation
system does not release the driver
from the responsibility for a
correct, vigilant attitude in road
traffic. The relevant traffic
regulations must always be
followed. If a navigation instruction contradicts traffic regulations, the
traffic regulations always apply.
Functioning of the navigation
system
The position and movement of the
vehicle are detected by the navigation
system using sensors. The travelled
distance is determined by the
vehicle's speedometer signal, turning movements on bends by a gyro
sensor. The position is determined by
the GPS satellites (Global Positioning System).
By comparing the sensor signals with the digital maps on the map SD card,
it is possible to determine the position with an accuracy of approx.
10 metres.
The system will also work with poor
GPS reception, however, the
accuracy of the determination of the
position will be reduced.

106Navigation
After the entry of the destination
address or point of interest (nearest
petrol station, hotel, etc.) the route is
calculated from the current location to the destination selected.
The route guidance is provided by
voice output and an arrow, as well as
with the aid of a multi-colour map
display.
TMC traffic information system
and dynamic route guidance
The TMC traffic information system receives all current traffic informationfrom TMC radio stations. If dynamic
route guidance is active, this
information is included in the
calculation of the overall route. During
this process, the route is planned so
that traffic problems related to pre-
selected criteria are avoided.
If there is a traffic problem during
active route guidance, depending on
the pre-settings, a message appears as to whether the route should be
changed.TMC traffic information is displayed in
the route guidance display as
symbols or as detailed text on the
TMC messages menu.
To be able to use TMC traffic
information, the system has to receive TMC stations in the relevant region.
Dynamic route guidance only works if
traffic information is received via the
TMC traffic information system.
The dynamic route guidance function
can be deactivated in the Navigation
options menu, see chapter
"Guidance" 3 129.
Map data All required map data is stored on an
SD card provided with the
Infotainment system.
Detailed descriptions on map SD card
handling and replacement, see
chapter "Maps" 3 136Usage

Exporting and importing POI data
Introductory explanationsTypes of POI data
The Infotainment system provides the following types of points of interest
data:
■ Predefined Points of Interest stored
on the map SD card and indicated
by icons on the map display.You can store such predefined
POIs in the address book or as
individual POIs in the myPOIs
memory of the Infotainment
system, see below.
■ Favourite destination addresses that were stored in the Address
book .
You can export these address book
data to a USB drive for later use,
e.g., in other vehicles.
■ Individual POIs : favourite
destination addresses that were
stored in the myPOIs memory.
You can export these individual
POI data to a USB drive for later
use, e.g., in other vehicles.
■ User defined POIs : favourite
destination addresses that you
defined via GPS coordinates
(taken, e.g., from a topographical
map) and that you entered into text files.
You can store these user defined
POI data on a USB drive and later
import the data to the myPOIsmemory of the Infotainment
system, see below.
■ Imported POIs : favourite
destination addresses that were
previously stored on a USB drive
and then imported to the myPOIs
memory of the Infotainment
system.Advantages of POI export and import The export and import of points of
interest data offer you, e.g., the
following advantages:
■ Define and store your favourite destination addresses only once,
and later use these address data in
other vehicles.
See "Exporting and importing
individual POIs and address book
entries" below.
■ Define your favourite destination addresses conveniently at home,
and later use them in your vehicle.
See "Creating and importing user
defined POIs" below.
■ Clearly arrange a large amount of destination addresses, e.g.,
favourite destination addresses of

other family members or
destination addresses for your next journey or business trip in separate
submenus.
See "Organizing the POI data in
several subfolders" below.
Exporting and importing individual
POIs and address book entriesBrief description:
1. Connect a USB drive to the USB port of your vehicle's Infotainmentsystem.
2. Store (export) your favourite destination addresses on the USBdrive.
3. Connect the USB drive to the USB
port of a vehicle equipped with a
Navi 600 or Navi 900 system.
4. Download (import) the address data to the vehicle's Infotainment
system.
After the import, the addresses can
be selected as destinations for route
guidance.
Detailed descriptions see below.Exporting POI data to a USB drive
Connect a USB drive to the USB port of the Infotainment system, see
chapter "USB port" 3 100.
Press the CONFIG button, select
Navigation settings and then select
Export POIs .
The Export POIs menu is displayed.
By default all individual POIs stored in
the myPOIs memory and all address
book entries will be exported.
If desired, deselect the address data
types that you do not want to be
exported.
Select Start export to store the
address data of the selected type(s)
on the connected USB drive.
The address data will be stored in a
folder named myPOIs that is located
in the root directory of the USB drive.
For each exported POI category, e.g.
Restaurant or Private , you will find a
correspondingly named file in that
folder.
Examples:
F:\myPOIs\Restaurant_3.poi or
F:\myPOIs\Private_1.poi , where F:\ is
the root directory of the USB drive.
Notice
If files with POI data of the same
category are already stored on the
USB drive in the myPOIs folder,
these old file versions will be
overwritten by equally named new
file versions.
The folder myPOIs and the files with
POI data should not be renamed or
moved into another folder on the
USB drive. Otherwise the
Infotainment system will not be able
to import the address data again.
