(D Tips
-Snow and obstructions on the GPS antenna
or interference caused by trees and large
buildings can impair satellite reception and
affect the system's ability to determine the
vehicle position. Several deactivated or mal­
functioning satell ites can also interrupt GPS
recept ion and affect the system's ability to
determine the vehicle position.
- Because street names somet imes change,
the names stored in the MMI may in rare
cases d iffer from the actual street name.
- Contact your authorized Audi dealer for in­
formation on updating the navigation data.
- The navigation system can be opened in

Map view.
., Select and confirm the provider for the on line
map view .
The online map view is based on data packets re­
ceived from the Internet in the form of satellite
images, which are then combined with the road­
ways from the
Standard map view. The re are two
gigabytes of memory space on the MMI hard
drive that can be used to temporari ly store the
map or navigation data that was received. This is
roughly the amount required for the map/naviga­
tion data from a 2,500 miles (4,000 km) route.
As long as the satellite images loaded for route
guidance are stored on the hard drive, you can
use them without having an active data connec­
tion.
Online Street View*
You can explore many places in the world
through the eyes of a pedestrian using on line
Street View . Online Street View is available when
the symbol (!)¢
fig. 187 is displayed in the side
