Plotting recommendation
We recommend having waypoints set automatically by the system, because
the system sets the waypoints in the best way for driving from waypoint to
waypoint later on.
During automatic plotting, the system registers each direction change using
sensors in the vehicle and sets a waypoint before and after the turning
point.
On long straight sections, a waypoint is set automatically every few kilome-
tres.
If you set waypoints manually, you should set one waypoint at the entry to a
bend and another at the exit from a bend. When driving the waypoint tour,
the complete direction change is displayed shortly before the turning point
is reached.

ditional window in the
compass view
After the plotting begins, the number of used and available waypoints and
the set plotting mode are displayed in the
Waypoint navigation
menu.
The plotting can also be continued in the map display

Additional manual waypoints can also be set in an automatic plotting.

In the
Waypoint navigation
menu, press the
Save current position as waypoint
function button to set manual waypoints.

OR:
in the map view, press the
Record
function button and press the
Save current position as waypoint
function button in the pop-up window.
Each waypoint is named according to its recording time (year/month/day
and hours/minutes/seconds). Waypoints can be renamed subsequently.
Later on, the start and end points should be named so that the selected
driving direction is always clearly apparent

After plotting, the stored tour is displayed in the
Waypoint navigation
menu.
Changing plotting mode
A maximum of 500 waypoints can be stored.
On long straights or if there are a lot of bends in the road, the system auto-
matically sets waypoints that may possibly not be necessary. In that case, it
may be sensible to switch off automatic plotting temporarily.
