Navigation
Navigation Introduction and operation of
the navigation system Introduction General information
The current position of the vehicle is deter-
mined through the GPS satellite system
(Global Positioning System). Sensors in the
vehicle measure distances driven. With the
detailed material stored in the map, and ac-
cording to the traffic news stored, all the val-
ues obtained are compared. Similarly, the
traffic reports are taken into account to calcu-
late the route (dynamic navigation
››› page 35 ). With all the data available, the
n av
igation system calculates the optimum
route to the destination.
The destination is defined by entering an ad-
dress or a point of interest, e.g. a petrol sta-
tion or hotel.
Spoken instructions and visual guidance on
the navigation unit and the combi-instrument
direct you to your destination.
Depending on the country, some infotain-
ment system functions can no longer be se-
lected when the vehicle is travelling above a
certain speed. This is not an operational er- ror; it is to comply with the legal require-
ments.
Limitations during navigation Possible errors during navigation
When the navigation system cannot receive
data from the GPS satellites (dense tree foli-
age, underground parking areas), it is possi-
ble to proceed with navigation using the sys-
tem of vehicle sensors.
For the navigator to work properly, navigation
should begin when the signal is received
from the satellite.
In areas that are not or only partially digitised
on the data medium (e.g. insufficient defini-
tion of one-way streets and road categories),
the navigation system will still attempt to
provide route guidance.
If navigation data are unavailable or incom-
plete, the navigation system may be unable
to determine the exact vehicle position. As a
result, the navigation may not be as exact as
usual.
Area of navigation and validity of the
navigation data
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 guidance.
Current navigation data media and versions
for other countries are available from SEAT
dealerships.
Note
The user must pay attention to the road
signs, which take precedence over those
shown on the screen. Use navigation data from a memory
card
Memory cards containing updated navigation
data can be obtained from SEAT dealerships.
●
Insert the memory card ›››
page 23 .
● Do not remove the memory card while test-
ing. Wait for the testing icon to disappear.
If the inserted memory card contains valid
navigation data, the following message ap-
pears: “The source contains a valid naviga-
tion database”. It is now possible to navigate
with the memory card data. When the memo-
ry card is no longer needed by the hardware,
it will be prepared for removal ›››

Navigation
Note
● Do not remove the memory card while the
navigation data is in use. This could damage
the memory card!
● The navigation memory card may not be
used as memory for other files. The infotain-
ment system will not recognise the files
saved.
● SEAT recommends only using original SEAT
memory cards to use navigation data. The
use of other memory cards could limit its op-
eration. Main menu of navigation

Navigation
Depending on the setup, upon starting gui-
ded navigation, 3 alternative routes
› ›
› Fig. 28 will be proposed. These 3 routes
correspond to the route options selected in
this function: Quick, short and economical
routes.
Route criteria: meaning
Blue route: Economical route: it is calculated seeking a
balance between savings in terms of kilometres and
time.
Red route: Quickest route to the destination, although it
involves diversions.
Orange route: Shortest route to the destination, al-
though it requires more time. The navigation route may
include unusual route sections, e.g. dirt roads. ●
Select the route desired by pressing on the
map.
The criteria setup in the menu Route options
will be modified accordingly.
If you do not select any route, navigation to
the destination will begin after approximately
one minute depending on the settings in Route options .
Navigation instructions (spoken
recommendations for driving)
After calculating the route, you will hear the
first navigation instruction. Before turning
you may hear up to 3 navigation instructions, for example: “Turn left shortly”, “Turn left in
300 metres” and “Turn left now”.
●
Press the setup button to repeat the last
navigation message.
The distances indicated largely depend on
the type of road and the speed at which you
are driving. For example, on motorways the
instructions are given significantly earlier
than in cities.
On roads with several lanes, on roads that di-
vide and on roundabouts, the corresponding
navigation instructions will also be given, for
example: “On the roundabout, take the sec-
ond exit”.
Upon reaching the destination, you will hear
the indication that you have arrived at your
destination.
During dynamic navigation to the destination
y ou w

ill be informed of any traffic incidents
received. An additional announcement is giv-
en if the route is recalculated due to traffic
congestion. An announcement will be given
when sections of the route are excluded man-
ually.
During an acoustic indication, you can modi-
fy the volume with the control  to define a
minimum or maximum volume level. All fol-
lowing announcements will then be made at
this volume. For other acoustic indication setups, see
An-
nouncement setup ››› page 37. Note
● If you miss a turning during route guidance
and are currently unable to turn back, keep
on driving until the navigation system offers
a new route.
● The quality of the instructions given by the
unit will depend on the navigation data avail-
able and the traffic reports received. Route

ports in the background, provided a TMC traf-
fic news station can be received at the cur-
rent location. The station listened to does not
have to be the TMC traffic news station.
Due to infrastructure issues, “TMC traffic re-
port” availability may be limited in certain
countries.The TMC traffic reports are shown on the map
with icons and are necessary for dynamic
navigation

If durin

g dynamic navigation a TMC traffic re-
port is received that affects the calculated
route, the system will calculate an alternative
route if it believes it will save time.
If the detour will not save time, it will go
through the congested section. In both cases
there will be an acoustic warning.
Shortly before reaching a section for which a
traffic incident has been received, it will re-
mind you of it again. »

Navigation
In certain circumstances, avoiding conges-
tion due to a TMC traffic report may not save
time if, for example, the detoured section is
already saturated with traffic. The quality of
the dynamic route guidance depends on the
information contained in the TMC traffic re-
ports. The radio stations broadcasting this in-
formation are responsible for the content.
The route to cover can also be blocked man-
ually to force a new route to be calculated

The length of a traffic incident along the
route calculated is represented by a red line.
The TMC symbol is located at the start of the
traffic delay, provided it has been defined
clearly in the TMC traffic report.

Guide to the destination in
demonstration mode (Demo) If, in the menu
Navigation setup
, Demo mode
is active ›››
page 37 , an additional pop-up
w indo

w will appear when guided navigation
starts.
● Pressing the function button Demo mode starts a “virtual” guided navigation to the fi-
nal destination indicated.●
If you press the function button
Normal mode , the “real” guided navigation
will begin.
The sequence of events and the operations in
virtual route guidance are similar to those in
real route guidance.
Virtual route guidance is repeated when you
reach the fictitious destination and always
starts again from the starting point if it is in-
terrupted.
If in the menu Navigation setup the starting
point of the Demo mode was determined
manually, the virtual guided navigation will
begin from this position.
A starting point introduced manually is over-
written with the current location of the vehi-
cle, if the vehicle starts to move and if the ve-
hicle's location can be determined by the
GPS.
When real route guidance is started following
virtual route guidance in demo mode, the
unit first has to reorient itself. This orienta-
tion can last some time depending on the
number of satellites that are received at that
time. Moving the vehicle may speed up the
reorientation process. Note
Deactivate the Demo mode after use, because
otherwise before starting guided navigation 36

you will always have to select whether you
want virtual or real navigation.
