4.1.4 Speed limit warning (Only some countries and regions)
Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the roads. The navigation
system is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not
be available for your region (ask your local dealer), or may not be fully correct for
all roads on the map.
The speed warning can be set from the W
arning Settings (page 78).
Setting can be selected using Warning Settings:
•
Audio warning: You will hear a warning beep if you exceed the speed limit by a
certain percentage.
•
Visual warning: If you exceed the speed limit on a road, the speed limit for the
current road is shown on the map.
You can also choose to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time.
4.1.5
Traffic information in route planning (Only some countries and regions)
The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Offline
historical traffic information (historical speed information or traffic patterns) can
be taken into account in the route calculation based on the time of day and the day
of week whenever suitable data exists. In addition, real-time traffic information can
help you avoid current traffic events like temporary road closures or a traffic jam
caused by an accident. Both functions are subject to data availability .
Select
after selecting on the MAP screen to display the historical traffic
information on the map. A 2D map is displayed with road segments colored by the
density of the traffic in the given period. The current information is shown when
you open the screen. Modify the day of week and the time of day to see the desired
period.

4.1.5.1 Historical
traffic
If historical traffic information is available with the map data, the navigation system
can use it when planning a route. In normal cases, these statistics help you avoid
usual traffic jams on the given day of week in the given hour but in some cases like
on public holidays that fall on normal weekdays, they can be misleading. You can
disable this feature in
Traffic Settings (page 79).
Select
after selecting on the MAP screen to display the historical traffic
information on the map.

You can fine-tune the appearance of the Map screen, adjust the map view to your
needs, show or suppress 3D buildings, and manage Place visibility settings (which
Places to show on the map).
The map is always shown on the screen so that you can see the effect when you
change a setting. Scroll the screen downward to display the setting behind the lower
part of the screen.
Button Description
When this button is selected, the map view mode can
be changed.
•
: Displays things such as actual construction
sites three dimensionally on the map.
•
: The map is rotated so that the direction of
travel is displayed in the upward direction.
•
: The map is displayed so that north is up
regardless of the direction of travel.
Adjust the basic zoom and tilt levels to your needs.
Three levels are available.
During route guidance in any map view mode, the
function for zooming in on approaching intersections
turns on/off automatically.
Show or hide 3D city models, 3D artistic or block
representation of all city building data containing
actual building sizes and positions on the map.

4.2.6 Visual Guidance settings
Adjust how the software helps you navigate with different kinds of route related
information on the Map screen.
ButtonDescription
Whenever adequate information is available, lane
information similar to the real ones on road signs
above the road is displayed at the top of the map.
You can turn this feature on or off.
If you are approaching a highway/freeway exit or
a complex intersection and the needed information
exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the
junction. You can turn this feature on or let the map
be displayed for the whole route.
When entering tunnels, the surface roads and
buildings can be disturbing. This feature shows a
generic picture of a tunnel instead of the map. A top-
down overview of the tunnel and remaining distance
are also displayed.

5 Glossary
Active route
The currently navigated route. Whenever a destination is set, the route is active until
you delete it or reach your destination. See also: Route.
City Center
The city center is not the geometric center of the city but an arbitrary point the
map creators have chosen. In cities and villages, it is usually the most important
intersection; in larger cities, it is one of the important intersections.
Color theme
The navigation system has different color themes for daytime and nighttime which
can be selected as desired.
One daytime scheme and one nighttime scheme is always selected for the map and
for the menus.
The navigation system uses them when it switches from day to night and back.
GPS accuracy
Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position and the one
given by the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting
objects near the GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately
the GPS device can calculate your position.
Map
The navigation system works with digital maps which are not simply the
computerized versions of traditional paper maps. Similarly to paper road maps, the
2D mode of digital maps show you streets, roads, and elevation by colors.
In 3D mode, you can see the altitude differences, for example valleys and
mountains, elevated roads, and in selected cities 3D landmarks and 3D buildings are
also displayed.
You can use digital maps interactively: you can zoom in and out (increase or
decrease the scale), you can tilt them up and down, and rotate them left and right. In
GPS-supported navigation, digital maps facilitate route planning.
North-up
map orientation
In North-up mode the map is rotated so its top always faces North. This is the
orientation for example in Find on Map.
Road
Safety Camera
This function is not available in some countries and regions.
Special alert points for speed, red light or bus lane cameras. Dif ferent data sources
are available. You can configure the navigation system to warn you when you
approach one of these cameras.
Detecting the location of Road Safety Cameras is prohibited in certain countries.
It is the sole responsibility of the driver to check whether this feature can be used
during the trip.
The software is capable of showing and warning for more than just cameras. V
arious
other types of proximity alert points like school zones and railway crossings are also
available.
Route
A sequence of maneuvers (for example, turns and roundabouts) to reach the
destination. The route contains one start point and one or more destinations.
T
rack-up
map orientation
In Track-up mode the map is rotated so its top always points in the current driving
direction.
This is the default orientation in 3D map view mode.
Vehicle
marker
The current position is indicated by a blue arrow on the map. The direction the blue
arrow is pointed indicates the current heading.
