which are then comb ined with the roadways from
the
Standard map view. There are two gigabytes
of memory space in the MMI memory that can be
used to temporarily store the map or navigat io n
data that was rece ived. 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
