Note
The radio-navigation system can only process and store TMC traffic reports
if the unit has access to navigation data for the area you are currently travel-
ling through.
Note
The quality of the dynamic route guidance depends on the information con-
tained in the TMC traffic reports. The radio stations are responsible for the
content of the news broadcast.
Route guidance in demo mode
If demo mode is activated in the
Navigation
setup menu
⇒
page 72, an ad-
ditional pop-up window opens when you start route guidance.
●
Pressing the
Demo
function button starts a “virtual route guidance” to
the destination you have entered.
●
If you press the
Normal
function button, a “real route guidance” starts.
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 interrupted.
If the starting point for demo mode has been defined manually in the
Navi-
gation
setup menu, virtual route guidance will start from this position.
If the vehicle is moved and the unit can determine its current location by
GPS, any manually entered starting point will be overwritten with the current
vehicle location
⇒
page 72.
When real route guidance is started following virtual route guidance in
demo mode, the unit first has to reorient itself. This may take some time,
depending on the number of satellites the unit can currently receive. Mov-
ing the vehicle may speed up the reorientation process.
