Guidance in non-digitised areas
If the specified destination is not located on a digitised road, the
directions will take you to the position (linear distance) closest to the
destination. The display shows the note “The destination is outside the
digitised map area”. In all display modes, rather than being provided as
directions, guidance takes the form of an arrow which points to the
destination.
Guidance in partly digitised areas
In rural areas and in small townships not all the streets may be stored on
the map DVD/CD. Whenever you leave a digitised road, the guidance
screen changes. The system automatically switches from the guidance or
the split screen display to the map display.
Instead of the usual guidance information, an arrow which points in the
direction of the destination is now shown at the top right. The distance
(linear distance) to the destination is shown underneath. This can also
occur in areas with complete digitisation, as not all parking areas are
digitised, for example.
Audible messages
As soon as guidance is activated, acoustic routing information is provided
in addition to the symbols on the guidance screens. You didn’t hear the
information?

Press the
{
or VOICE button on the remote control. The last
direction is repeated and/or updated driving directions are
provided.
If the symbol
l
is shown in the status line, the audible information is
switched off. It can be switched on again using the “Settings” menu or
also by pressing or - on the remote control.
Plan Alternative Route
During guidance it is possible for the navigation system to plan an
alternative route to cover a distance which you can select. Use this
function, e.g. if you wish to avoid stationary traffic, or if you do not agree
with the current routing. The alternative route will be calculated for the
specified distance from the vehicle’s current location.
u
Press the ALT-R button. The system now displays the ”Distance”
for which the alternative route is to be planned. This can be set
from 1 to 50 km.
u
Select the value after “Distance:”, and press the OK button.
