Word-matching principle
The system's word-matching principle makes it
easier for you to enter the names of towns or
streets. The system runs ongoing checks, com-
paring your destination entries with the data
stored in the vehicle as the basis for instant
response. The benefits for you include:
>Names of towns entered may differ from the
official versions if you are using a spelling
that is customary in another country.
Example:
Instead of the German spelling "München"
you can also enter the English spelling
"Munich" or the Italian spelling "Monaco".
>When you are entering the names of towns
and streets the system will complete them
automatically as soon as enough letters are
available to ensure unambiguous identifica-
tion.
>The system offers only those letters for
selection of name entries that are stored in
the vehicle. Thus, entry of erroneous or
unregistered names is impossible.

Route criteria
General information
You can influence the calculated route by
choosing certain route criteria. You can change
the route criteria as often as you like during des-
tination entry or during destination guidance.
The route is planned according to fixed rules.
The type of road is taken into account, e.g.
whether it is a highway or a winding road. As a result, the routes recommended by the naviga-
tion system may not always be the same ones
that you would choose based on personal expe-
rience.
The settings are stored for the remote control
currently in use.

>"Fast route": time-optimized route,
which is a combination of the shortest
possible distance and the fastest roads
>"Efficient route": optimized combination
of the fastest roads and shortest route
>"Short route": short distance without
taking time into account
>"Alternative routes": other suggested
alternative routes while destination
guidance is active
5.Select additional route criteria, if desired.
Where possible, the selected criteria will be
avoided on the route.

During destination guidance, traffic bulletins
that are relevant to areas along the route are
automatically displayed and taken into account
in the route planning. You can open all traffic
bulletins manually via iDrive.

The position is in an unrecognized region, in
a poor reception area, or the system is in the
process of determining the position.
Reception is generally available when you
are in the open.
>The destination guidance does not accept
an address without the street name?
A downtown area cannot be determined for
the town or city that has been entered. Input
any street in the selected town/city and
start destination guidance.

selected during destination entry?
The stored data do not contain the data of
the destination. Select a destination that is
as close as possible to the original.
>The map view is displayed in grayscale?

the Control Display changes to a grayscale
display. This enables a better view of the
traffic bulletins.
>Voice instructions are no longer issued
before intersections during destination
guidance?
