Navigation41Important 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
3 41.Map data
All required map data is stored within
the Infotainment system. To update
your map software via the USB port,
contact your workshop.
Usage
To display the navigation map,
press ; and select NAV on the Home
screen.Route guidance not active
The current location is indicated by a
circle with an arrow pointing into the
direction of travel.
After a timeout of approx.
15 seconds, the application tray and

To redisplay the application tray and
the interaction selector bar, touch the
screen.
46Navigationuser defined POIs can be
downloaded to the Infotainment
system.
For each POI, you need to define the GPS coordinates (longitude and
latitude values) of the respective
location and a descriptive name.
After downloading the POI data to the Infotainment system, you will find the
respective POIs as selectable
destinations in the My POIs menu,
see "POIs entry" in chapter
"Destination input" 3 47.
Creating a text file with POI data
Create a text file (e.g. by using a
simple text editor software) with an arbitrary name and the file
extension .poi, e.g. "TomsPOIs.poi".
Note
Character encoding UTF-8
(Unicode) needs to 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 image 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,
"" needs to be entered at the
respective position.
Example:
7.0350000, 50.6318040, "Michaels
Home", "", "02379234567" .
The POI name and the additional
information string may not exceed 60 characters each. The phone number
string may not exceed 30 characters.
The POI data of each destination
address must be entered in a single
separate line, see image above.
Storing the POI data on a USB drive
In the root directory of a USB drive,
create a folder named " myPOIs",
e.g. "F:\myPOIs", where "F:\" is the
root directory of the USB drive.
In the "myPOIs" folder, store the text
file with your POIs, e.g. "F:\myPOIs
\TomsPOIs.poi".
Navigation47Organising the POI data in several
subfolders
Optionally, you can organise the text
files in several randomly named
subfolders (max. depth of subfolder
structure: 2).
Examples: F:\myPOIs\AnnsPOIs or
F:\myPOIs\MyJourney\London,
where F:\ is the root directory of the
USB drive.
Note
In a folder only subfolders or only POI files may be stored. A mixture of
both will not be imported correctly to the system.
After downloading individual POI data
organised in that way to the
Infotainment system (see download description further below), the My
POIs menu will show a list of
selectable submenus.
After selecting a submenu, further
submenus or the related list of
imported POI categories will be
displayed.Downloading the POI data to the
Infotainment system
Connect the USB device with your
user defined POI data to the USB port
3 34 of the Infotainment system.
A message is displayed that prompts
you to confirm the download.
After confirmation, the POI data will
be downloaded to the Infotainment system.
The downloaded POIs are then
selectable as destinations via the My
POIs menu, see "POIs entry" in
chapter "Destination input" 3 47.
