Warning
G
Due to incomplete digitization, the route
shown on the map may differ from the actual
road/traffic situation.If you follow the route shown on the map, for
example, it is possible that you could drive
the wrong way down a one-way street or
that a street cannot be driven on.When using route guidance in a partially dig
-
itized area, you must therefore be sure to
observe all relevant traffic regulations and
the course of the road.All relevant traffic regulations and the
course of the road always take priority over
the route shown on the map.
