Symbols overview ........................73General information
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.

Navigation37
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 commands and a direction
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 appearsas to whether the route should be
changed.TMC traffic information is displayed on the map display as symbols or asdetailed text in the TRAFFIC
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, see chapter
"Guidance" 3 65.
Map data
All required map data is stored on an
SD card provided with the
Infotainment system.

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.
