Whenever data exist, route calculation take s into account historical traffic data for
the given day of week and time of day (page 76).
If the setting for Traffic Settings is valid, Real-time Traffic events are taken into
account and the route is largely modified.
The navigation system automa tically recalculates the route if you deviate from the
proposed itinerary or if a newly received Traffic event concerns a part of the
recommended route.
For further information about Route Settings see page 80.
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.

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 Warning 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 info rmation (historical speed informat ion 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 MA P 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 informat
ion is available with the map data, the navigation system
can use it when planning a route. In norma l 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.

4.2 Settings menu
You can configure the program settings, and modify the behaviour of the navigation
system. Select after sel ecting on the MAP screen.
ButtonDescription
You can fine-tune the appearan ce of the Map screen. Adjust
the map view to your needs, show or hide 3D buildings, and
manage POI (point of interest) display settings (which POI to
show on map).
A guidance-related setting is available during route guidance.
A setting related to warnings is available.
Refer to Changing the road types used in route planning
(page 68).
A setting for traffic information is available.
A setting for on-line service is available.
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.

4.2.3 Traffic Settings
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.
ButtonDescription
Use this switch to enable or disable historical
traffic data and traffic patterns. This locally
stored information can be very useful in normal
circumstances but for example on public
holidays it may be better to turn off in order not
to take into account normal weekday traffic
jams.
Alternative routes are offered for detours.
An appropriate alternativ e route is determined
provided by the navigation system in
consideration of traffic conditions.
You can select how much time delay on the
alternative route you are willing to accept.
The alternative route is offered based on the set
time.
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.

4.2.4 Route Settings
These settings determine how routes will be calculated.
ButtonDescription
The route calculation can be optimized for
different situations. See below for details.
You might need to avoid highways/freeways if
you are towing another vehicle.
Charge roads are pay roads where you can
purchase a pass or vignette to use the road for a
longer period of time. They can be enabled or
disabled separately from toll roads.
The navigation system includes toll roads (pay
roads where there is a per-use charge) in the
routes by default. If you disable toll roads, the
navigation system plans the best toll-free route.
The navigation system includes ferries in a
planned route by default. However, a map does
not necessarily contain information about the
accessibility of temporar y ferries. You might
also need to pay a fare on ferries.
Setting in which routes with carpool lanes can
be created or not created.
A border crossing may be a shorter route
depending on the route. For this function, you
can select whether or not to cross a border
when planning the route.
The navigation system excludes unpaved roads
by default: unpaved roads can be in a bad
condition and usually you cannot reach the
speed limit on them.
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.

5Glossary
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 villag es, 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 devia tion 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 it s 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. Different 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 ch eck whether this feature can be used during
the trip.
The software is capable of showing and wa rning for more than just cameras. Various
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 star t point and one or more destinations.
Track-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 indicat es the current heading.
