T he map v iew is based on data packets received
from the Internet in the form of satellite images,
which are then combined with the roadways from
the
Standard map view. There are two gigabytes
of memory space in the MMI memory that can be
u sed to temporarily store the map or nav igat io n
data that was received . This is roughly the
amount requ ired for the map/navigation data for
a 2, 485 m ile ( 4,000 km) ro ute. As long as the
sate llite images loaded for route guidance are
stored, you can use them witho ut having a n ac ­
