Route guidance
Introduction to the subject
A route is created by starting route guidance to a destination. Additional inter-
mediate destinations can be added to the route.
The route guidance takes place as follows
▶ Through graphical driving instructions in the device display screen and in the
display of the instrument cluster.
▶ With navigation announcements.
The unit tries to allow for continued guidance even if the navigation data is in-
complete or there is no data at all for the given area.
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or change the route.
CAUTION
The navigation announcements provided may vary from the actual situations,
e.g. due to out-of-date navigation data.
