Fas t : It calculates the fastest route to your destination, even if a detour is necessary.
Short : Longer driving time in favour of a shorter route is acceptable. Please note 
that the setting “Short route” during ro ute guidance can sometimes lead to unex-
pected results.
Economical : The aim of the calculation is a ba lance between minimal driving time 
and driving distance.
Dynamic route guidance with TMC use   
If the dynamic navigation is  switched off, traffic reports are nevertheless received 
in the background and updated. The naviga tion displays traffic problems on the 
map and draws attention to them verbally , however does not consider them for 
calculating the route (the route can  lead through the traffic problems).

not have to be a TMC station.
•
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluate d and stored by the unit if the nagi-
vation data (SD card  or CD) is available for the driven area.
•
The quality of the dynamic route guidan ce depends on the transmitted traffic 
announcements. The radio stations broadcas ting this information are responsible 
for the content.
•
TMC traffic reports are necessar y for the dynamic navigation.
•
There may not be any advantage in avoiding the traffic jam if, as a result of the 
TMC traffic reports, the divers ion is also heavily congested.
