Usage .......................................... 64
Destination input ..........................70
Guidance ..................................... 74General information
The navigation system will reliably guide you to your destination. There
will be no need to read maps, even if
you have no local knowledge
whatsoever.
The current traffic situation is taken
into account in the route calculation.
For this purpose the Infotainment
system receives traffic
announcements in the current
reception area via RDS-TMC.
The navigation system cannot,
however, take into account traffic
incidents, traffic regulations changed at short notice and hazards or
problems that arise suddenly (e.g.
road works).Caution
The usage of the navigation
system does not release the driver
from the responsibility for a
correct, vigilant attitude in road
traffic. The relevant traffic
regulations must always be
followed. If a navigation instruction contradicts traffic regulations, the
traffic regulations always apply.
Functioning of the navigation
system
The position and movement of the
vehicle are detected by the navigation
system using sensors. The travelled
distance is determined by the
vehicle's speedometer signal, turning movements on bends by a gyro
sensor. The position is determined by
the GPS satellites (Global Positioning System).
By comparing the sensor signals with the digital maps on the map SD card,
it is possible to determine the position with an accuracy of approx.
10 metres.
The system will also work with poor
GPS reception. However, the
accuracy of the determination of the
position will be reduced.

Navigation63
After the entry of the destination
address or point of interest (nearest
petrol station, hotel, etc.), the route is
calculated from the current location to the destination selected.
Route guidance is provided by voice
output and an arrow, as well as with
the aid of a multi-colour map display.
Important information
Input order for destination addresses
The order in which the parts of an
address need to be entered is
dependent on the country where the
destination is located.

TMC traffic information system and
dynamic route guidance
The TMC traffic information system
receives all current traffic information from TMC radio stations. This
information is included in the
calculation of the overall route. During this process, the route is planned sothat traffic problems related to pre-
selected criteria are avoided.
If there is a traffic problem during
active route guidance, depending on
the pre-settings, a message appears
as to whether the route should be
changed.
TMC traffic information is displayed in
the map display as symbols or as
detailed text on the TMC messages
menu.

Navigation69
The contacts list and POI data is
stored on the connected USB device
in the folders "F:\myContacts"
respective "F:\myPOIs", where "F:\" is
the root folder of the USB device.
Notice
This function may only be carried out if a USB device with sufficient
storage space is connected.
Downloading contacts data
You can exchange your vehicle
contacts list data with Infotainment
systems in other cars:
To upload the data to a USB device,
see "Uploading navigation data to a
USB device" above.
Connect the USB device to the
Infotainment system of another car
3 55.
A message is displayed that prompts
you to confirm the download.
After confirmation, the contacts data
is downloaded to the Infotainment
system.
The downloaded contacts are then
selectable via the CONTACTS menu
3 32.Creating and downloading user
defined POIs (My POIs)
In addition to the predefined POIs
already stored in the Infotainment
system, you can create user defined
POIs that meet your personal
requirements. After creation, such
user defined POIs can be
downloaded to the Infotainment
system.
For each POI you need to define the
GPS coordinates (longitude and
latitude values) of the respective
location and a descriptive name.
After downloading the POI data to the Infotainment system, you will find the
respective POIs as selectable
destinations in the My POIs menu,
see "Selecting a point of interest" in
chapter "Destination input" 3 70.
Creating a text file with POI data Create a text file (e.g. by using a
simple text editor software) with an
arbitrary name and the file
extension .poi, e.g. "TomsPOIs.poi".
Enter the POI data into the text file in
the following format:
Longitude coordinate, Latitude
coordinate, "Name of POI",
"Additional information", "Phone
number"
Example: 7.0350000, 50.6318040,
"Michaels Home", "Bonn, Hellweg 6", "02379234567" , see image above.
The GPS coordinates must be
expressed in decimal degrees and can be taken, e.g., from a
topographical map.
The additional information and phone
number strings are optional.
