The online map view is based on data packets re­
ceived from the Internet in the form of satellite
i mages, which are then combined w ith the road­
ways from the Standard map view. There 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 satell ite images loaded for route
guidance are sto red on the hard drive, you can
use them without having an active data connec­
tion.
Online Street View*

through the eyes of a pedestrian using on line
Street View . Online Street View is available when
