General information
The current vehicle position is determined by
means of the GPS satellite system (Global Po-
sitioning System). Sensors in the vehicle
measure distances that have been driven.
The measurement values are compared with
the detailed map data and the road informa-
tion stored therein. Traffic reports, if any, will
also be taken into account in the route calcu-
lation (dynamic route guidance
››› page 49). Using all the data available,
the Infotainment system calculates the opti-
mum route to the destination.
The destination is defined by entering an ad-
dress or a point of interest, e.g. a petrol sta-
tion or hotel.
Spoken instructions and visual guidance on
the navigation unit and on the dash panel
will direct you to your destination.
Depending on the country, some infotain-
ment system functions can no longer be se-
lected when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but
simp
ly
a legal requirement.
Navigation messages When the Infotainment system is unable to
rec
eiv
e any data from GPS satellites (due to a
dense tree canopy, underground car park),
navigation can still continue using the vehi-
cle sensors.
Possible navigation limitations
In areas that are not or are only partially digi-
tised on the data storage device (e.g. insuffi-
cient definition of one-way streets and road
categories), the Infotainment system will still
attempt to provide route guidance.
If navigation data are unavailable or incom-
plete, the navigation system may be unable
to determine the exact vehicle position. As a
result, the navigation may not be as exact as
usual.
Navigation area and updating of navigation
data
Roads and streets are subject to constant
change (e.g. new roads, changes to street
names and building numbers). Therefore, if
the navigation data is not updated, then er-
rors or inaccuracies may occur during guid-
ance. SEAT recommends updating navigation data
on a re
gu
lar basis. Up to date navigation da-
ta can be acquired at a SEAT dealer.
Updating and installing navigation
data The Infotainment system is equipped with an
intern
al
navigation data memory. The re-
quired navigation data may already be prein-
stalled, depending on the country.
The Infotainment system always requires the
navigation data that is currently valid for this
unit in order to allow all functions to be used
in full. Using an old version may lead to er-
rors during navigation.
Updating navigation data
Compatible memory cards can be obtained
from SEAT dealers.
The navigation data must be installed after
downloading. Navigation is not possible from
the memory card.
Installing navigation data
The installation process takes about 2 hours.
If the Infotainment system is switched off, the
installation process is paused and will auto-
matically resume when switched back on.
● Switch the ignition on.

for removal ››› page 23. CAUTION
Do not remove the memory card while the
nav ig
ation data is being installed. The memo-
ry card may be irreparably damaged! Note
● The nav ig
ation memory card may not be
used as memory storage for other files. The
Infotainment system will not recognise the
files saved on it.
● SEAT recommends a CLASS 10 1)
memory
car
d for the use of navigation data. The use of
other memory cards could limit its operation. Navigation main menu
