used to temporar ily store the map or navigation
data that was received . Th is is roughly the
amount required for the map/navigation data for

2,485 mile (4,000 km) route . As long as the
satellite images loaded fo r route g uidance are
stored, you can use them without having an ac­
tive data connection.
