Navigation data
44
First and foremost, pay attention to the safety instructions » page 4 , Impor-
tant notes .
The unit uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite system for naviga-
tion. The satellite signal allows you to determine your current vehicle position.
If the unit is outside the range of the GPS satellite signal (e.g. in dense vegeta-
tion, in tunnels, parking garages, etc.), the unit navigates only with restrictions
using on-vehicle sensors.
Navigation is done:
› by graphical instructions in the device screen and Maxi DOT display;
› via voice guidance.
The navigation unit can be operated: › using the buttons on the unit
» page 43;
› using the function keys in the unit screen
» page 43;
› using voice control
» page 13.
› on the MAXI DOT display
» page 12 .
WARNING■
Information about traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking and
stopping restrictions as well as lane constrictions and speed restrictions is
not taken into account for navigation by the unit.■
Always adjust the driving speed to the road, traffic and weather condi-
tions.
■
The navigation announcement provided may vary from current situations,
e.g. due to road works or out-of-date navigation data.
■
The volume should be adjusted to ensure that acoustic signals from out-
side, e.g. sirens from vehicles which have the right of way, such as police,
ambulance and fire brigade vehicles, can be heard at all time.
CAUTIONIn some countries, some unit features can no longer be selected when the ve-
hicle is running faster than a certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but com-
plies with the national legal regulations.

Insert a memory card » page 30.
Data update
The navigation data should be updated at regular intervals.
Navigation data is subject to constant changes (such as new streets, changes
of street names and house numbers), and this can become out of date over
time. For this reason, the guidance may be inaccurate or incorrect.
For more information on updating the data, please visit the ŠKODA website or contact a ŠKODA Partner.

Some address positions are already pre-filled with the data of the last destina-
tion.
The pre-filled positions can be adjusted by touching the item and then adjust-
ing it in the input screen » page 8.
To start navigation, you need to enter country, city and street.
The information is entered step by step in individual input screens.
When entering the street, instead of a street name, it is possible to select the centre of the entered city by touching Centre. Then it is no longer necessary to
enter the house number or junction.
Both the house number and also a further address supplement in the form of a number can be entered. The system displays a list of destinations found from
combinations of the two numbers.
If the entered house number was not found, a menu opens to clarify the desti-
nation:
■ No house number - Enter an address without a house number and display a
menu with destination details
■ Nearest house number: - Confirmation of the proposed house number
■ Enter junction - Open a menu with junctions with the selected street
