Recalculating the route dynamically
TheDynamicTrafficRouteroute type takes
into account all of the traffic reports it receives
for the current route when calculating the route
(
Ypage 56).
If you have selected Dynamic Traffic Route
as the route type, the multimedia system guides
you to your destination along the updated route.

General notes
If a route to a destination has been calculated,
the multimedia system saves the destination to
the last destinations memory. If the memory is
full, the multimedia system overwrites the old-
est destination. When you save the current vehi-
cle position or a crosshair position, this position
is stored in the "Last destinations" memory.
You can save destinations permanently in the
address book and on an SD memory card. For
instance, this is possible immediately after
entering an address.

using the FAT file system (e.g. FAT32).
