The map view 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
used to temporarily store the map or navigation
data that was received. This is roughly the
amount required for the map/navigation data for
a 2,485 mile (4,000 km) route. As long as the
satellite images loaded for route guidance are
stored, you can use them without having an ac-
tive data connection.
