Navigation47Important informationTMC traffic information system and
dynamic route guidance
The TMC traffic information system
receives all current traffic information from TMC radio stations. This
information is included in the
calculation of the overall route. During
this process, the route is planned so that traffic problems related to pre-
selected criteria are avoided.
If there is a traffic problem during
active route guidance, depending on
the pre-settings, a message appears
as to whether the route should be
changed.
TMC traffic information is displayed in
the map display as symbols or as
detailed text on the TMC messages
menu.
To be able to use TMC traffic
information, the system must receive
TMC stations in the relevant region.
The TMC traffic stations can be
selected in the navigation menu

respective POIs as selectable
destinations in the My POIs menu,
see "POIs entry" in chapter
"Destination input" 3 53.
Creating a text file with POI data

simple text editor software) with an arbitrary name and the file
extension .poi, e.g. "TomsPOIs.poi".
Notice
Character encoding UTF-8
(Unicode) must be selected when
storing the text file. Otherwise the
POI data may not be imported
correctly to the system.
Enter the POI data into the text file in
the following format:
Longitude coordinate, Latitude
coordinate, "Name of POI",
"Additional information", "Phone
number"
Example:
7.0350000, 50.6318040, "Michaels
Home", "Bonn, Hellweg 6",
"02379234567" , see illustration
above.
The GPS coordinates must be
expressed in decimal degrees and
can be taken, e.g., from a
topographical map.
The additional information and phone
number strings are optional. If, e.g., no additional information is required,
"" must be entered at the respective
position.
Example:
7.0350000, 50.6318040, "Michaels

string may not exceed 30 characters.
The POI data of each destination
address must be entered in a single
separate line, see illustration above.
Storing the POI data on a USB device In the root directory of a USB device,
create a folder named " myPOIs",
e.g. "F:\myPOIs", where "F:\" is the root directory of the USB device.
In the "myPOIs" folder, store the text
file with your POIs, e.g. "F:\myPOIs
\TomsPOIs.poi".

subfolders
Optionally, you can organise the text
files in several randomly named
subfolders (max. depth of subfolder
structure: 2).

USB device.
