Navigation
If navigation data are unavailable or incomplete, the navigation system may
be unable to determine the exact vehicle position. As a result, the naviga-
tion may not be as exact as usual.
Navigation area and age of navigation data
The accuracy of the data (small villages, streets and house numbers) de-
pends on the respective version for the country.
Roads and streets are subject to constant change (e.g. new roads, changes
to street names and house numbers). After some time, navigation data will
no longer be up-to-date. This may lead to inaccurate or incorrect route guid-
ance.
In the case of small villages, they may have to be searched for as Points of
Interest (POI) rather than by their name.
Map updates and different map versions (East/West Europe) are available
through SD cards. Please consult a Technical Service. 

Route guidance
Introduction
Once route guidance has started, the route is calculated according to the
data selected in route options.
The unit switches to the map view. You are guided to your chosen destina-
tion by announcements and visual recommendations.
If dynamic route guidance is activated, TMC traffic reports will be taken into
account in the route calculation ⇒ page 72.
The route options can be changed manually while route guidance is in pro-
gress.
All of the unit's audio sources are available during route guidance.

Traffic incidents displayed on the map
Traffic congestion reported via TMC that is on the route is shown on the map
by a coloured symbol. Traffic congestion that is not on the route is shown on
the map by a grey symbol. The positioning of the TMC symbol indicates the
start and the direction of the traffic congestion if both are clearly defined in
the TMC traffic message.
Route sections with traffic congestion that are on the route are coloured red.
Route sections with traffic congestion that are not on the route are coloured
grey. If route guidance is not active, all traffic congestion is coloured grey.
Dynamic route guidance
If the  Dynamic route
function button is activated and a diversion to avoid
traffic congestion on the route is likely to save time, the navigation system
automatically calculates an alternative route.
An announcement is given when the route is recalculated. The same an-
nouncement is given if traffic congestion that was present when the route
was originally calculated is now no longer reported.
Note
A diversion of the route based on TMC traffic reports may not always save
time, if, for instance, there is also heavy traffic on the alternative route.
Note
If there is traffic congestion on a route section further ahead, it is possible
to exclude the section manually if the TMC traffic report has not yet been
received.
Note
The quality of traffic messages depends on the station broadcasting the
traffic reports. This station is responsible for the content of the traffic re-
ports. Displaying TMC traffic reports (TRAFFIC)

fic reports received.
