Route calculation
After the guidance was activated, the system begins to calculate the route. 
This procedure can take some seconds. During this period the display of 
the direction of travel in the direction of the destination indicates the infor-
mation “ Calc. route ” and the voice response answers “ The route is 
being calculated ”. In addition the distance of the air traffic line to the 
destination is shown.
•If the vehicle is located on a digitalized street, the guidance is 
performed via acoustic and optical driving recommendations after ending 
the route calculation.
•If the vehicle is not located on a digitalized street (e.g. car park, 
garage, multi-storey car park), the information “ Off road” is shown on the 
left of the screen.
•If you are located outside the ares stored on the navigation CD (e.g. 
abroad) the information “ Off map” is shown on the left of the screen.
•If the system cannot calculate a route for the selected destination, the 
information “ No route” is shown on the left of the screen. In this case follow the display of the direction of travel which points in the 
direction of the destination. You will obtain acoustic and optical driving 
recommendations as soon as you are driving on a digitalized street.
WARNING
For the guidance these are only driving recommendations. The 
road traffic legislation (StVO) is always applicable, also if a driving 
recommendation does not comply with the StVO.
Note
•The navigation system gives the driving recommendations as spoken 
driving instructions and through guiding symbols in the symbol display on 
the screen.
•The recommendations are carried out in good time so that there is 
always enough time to prepare a turn process.

Destination memory
Overview
The destination menu calls up directly from the navigation basic menu via 
the menu field “Destination memory ”. The destination memories are the 
alphabetical destination memory  and the Top 10 memory .
The alphabetical destination memory contains all destination memory 
entries. They are alphabetically classified. Here the destinations can be 
stored; edited and selected for the destination entry.
A special memory is the Top 10 memory. Here up to ten frequently used 
destination addresses can be stored, edited and selected for the destina-
tion entry.
Select the following destination memory possibilites via the menu fields:
•Store destination in the alphabetical destination memory and in the 
Top 10 memory  ⇒page 33
•Enter/change short name in the destination memory  ⇒page 45
•Edit Top 10 memory  ⇒page 46, e. g.: Classify destinations, copy desti-
nations
•Store flagged destination
•Delete destinations from the destination memory  ⇒page 48
Destination memory - Enter/change short name
You can assign a short name to the destination entries in the 
alphabetical destination memory and in the Top 10 memory. This 
helps you read a destination faster out of the respective destina-
tion memory for the destination entry. Short names can be e.g. 
first names. These short names can also be changed later on. 
The short name is always in front of the final destination name. 
The entry of the short name is performed in the editing menu.

Automatic tailback function (for units 
with dynamic navigation)
Important information
The unit is prepared technically for dynamic navigation. For the availability 
of this function, the following requirements apply:
•Navigation CD must assist the dynamic navigation
•at least one TMC station must be receiveable
Please do not hesitate to contact your Škoda Service Partner should you 
have any further questions regarding this matter.
What is dynamic navigation?
The dynamic navigation enables an automatic adaptation of the calcu-
lated route on the basis of the receiveable traffic reports.
The traffic reports are not audibly emitted by different broadcasting 
stations in addition to the radio program via a TMC (Traffic Message 
Channel).
The navigation system receives this data via a separate TMC box and 
evaluates it. If a traffic report is received, which is of great importance for 
the calculated route, the route is automatically recalculated.
20.book  Page 48  Tuesday, December 6, 2005  2:26 PM 
Page 50 of 66

Navigation49
The traffic reports are shown in the map display by means of symbols:
• slow-moving traffic 
• traffic jam 
• closed road
The corresponding stretch of the journey is shown in the map display by 
a dotted line.
So that you can use the dynamic navigation, a radio station must be able 
to receive the traffic reports emitted via TMC. The TMC box selects auto-
matically a TMC station; you can also manually select another station.
Note
The proper functioning of the automatic route influence depends on 
the transmitted traffic reports. The radio stations broadcasting the 
traffic reports are responsible for its content.
Select TMC station
– Press the button tailback function  . The tailback menu  appears.
– Mark and confirm the menu field “ RDS station” ⇒ fig. 41 . A list 
with the available TMC stations appears.
– Mark and confirm the desired station  ⇒fig. 42 .
An aerial symbol   in the symbol and map display indicates that a 
TMC Station can be received. 
Note
The audible station is not changed as a result of this. If the selected station 
cannot be received, automatically the next TMC to be received is set.
