Navigation Introduction
General information
The c
urr
ent
vehicle position is determined by
means of the GPS satellite system (Global Po-
sitioning System). Sensors in the vehicle
measure distances that have been driven.
The measurement values are compared with
the detailed map data and the road informa-
tion stored therein. Traffic reports, if any, will
also be taken into account in the route calcu-
lation (dynamic route guidance
››› page 64). Using all the data available,
the Infotainment system calculates the opti-
mum route to the destination. The destination is defined by entering an ad-
dres
s or a point of interest, e.g. a petrol sta-
tion or hotel.
Spoken instructions and visual guidance on
the navigation unit and on the instrument
panel will direct you to your destination.
Depending on the country, some infotain-
ment system functions can no longer be se-
lected when the vehicle is travelling above a
certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but
simply a legal requirement.
Navigation messages When the Infotainment system is unable to
r
ec
eiv
e any data from GPS satellites (due to a
dense tree canopy, underground car park),
navigation can still continue using the vehi-
cle sensors.
Possible navigation limitations
In areas that are not or are only partially digi-
tised on the data storage device (e.g. insuffi-
cient definition of one-way streets and road
categories), the Infotainment system will still
attempt to provide route guidance.
If navigation data are unavailable or incom-
plete, the navigation system may be unable
to determine the exact vehicle position. As a result, the navigation may not be as exact as
usual
.
Navigation area and updating of navigation
data
Roads and streets are subject to constant
change (e.g. new roads, changes to street
names and building numbers). Therefore, if
the navigation data is not updated, then er-
rors or inaccuracies may occur during guid-
ance.
SEAT recommends updating navigation data
on a regular basis. Up to date navigation da-
ta can be acquired at a SEAT dealer.
Use navigation data from a memory
card. 3 Only
available for the model: Navi System

SD card is initially to be found inserted in
SD card slot 2.
