1 Warnings and safety information
The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS
receiver. Alpine Navigation System does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track
you.
It is important to look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the
vehicle, we recommend that you plan and review your route before you start your journey.
Plan the route before your departure and stop if you need to change the route.
You must follow the traffic rules. If you deviate from the planned route, Alpine Navigation
System changes the instructions accordingly.
For more information, see the end-user licence agreement (page 76).

By default, this marker is a blue arrow. The dot near the arrow shows the GPS position as
perceived by the GPS receiver.
When on-road navigation is selected, the current position marker may not show your exact
GPS position and heading. If roads are near, it is aligned to the nearest road to eliminate GPS
position errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of the road.
If you select off-road navigation, the current position marker is at your exact GPS position.
The direction of the icon shows your current heading.
15
2.3.3 The planned route
The planned route is the currently navigated route. Whenever the destination is set, the route
is active until you delete it, reach your destination or suspend navigation. Alpine Navigation
System displays the route in the following ways:
Symbol
Name
Description
Current GPS position
and starting point
It is your current position displayed on the map.
If a vehicle is selected for route calculation and roads
are near, the arrow jumps to the nearest road.
The dot near the arrow shows the exact GPS position.
Normally, if GPS position is available, the route starts from
the current position. If there is no valid GPS position, Alpine
Navigation System uses the last known position as the
starting point.
Waypoint
(intermediate
destination)
It is an intermediate destination of the route before reaching
the final destination.
Destination (end
point)
It is the final destination of the route.
Route colour
The route always stands out with its colour on the map, both
in daytime and night colour modes.
Streets and roads
that are excluded
from the navigation
You can choose whether you want to use or avoid certain
road types (page 65). However, when Alpine Navigation
System cannot avoid such roads, the route includes them
and shows them in a colour that is different from the route
colour.
Streets and roads
that are affected by
traffic events
Road segments may be affected by traffic events. These
streets and roads are displayed in a different colour, and
small symbols displayed along the route show the type of the
traffic event.
2.3.4 Turn preview and next street
When navigating a route, the top section of the Navigation view shows information about the
next route event (manoeuvre) and the next street or the next town.
There is a field in the top left corner displaying the next manoeuvre. Both the type of the
manoeuvre (turn, roundabout, exiting motorway, and so on) and its distance from the current
position are displayed.
16
A smaller icon shows the type of the second next manoeuvre if it is near the first one.
Otherwise, only the next manoeuvre is displayed.

2.3.6 Lane information and signposts
When navigating on multi-lane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to
follow the planned route. If lane information is available in the map data, Alpine Navigation
System displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map.
Highlighted arrows represent the lanes and the direction you need to take.
Where additional information is available, arrows are replaced by signposts. Signposts are
displayed at the top of the map. The colour and style of the signposts are similar to the real
ones you can see above roads or by roadsides. They show the available destinations and the
road numbers.
All signposts look similar when cruising (when there is no planned route). During navigation
only the signpost that points to the lane(s) to be taken is highlighted; all the others are darker.
If you want to hide the currently displayed signposts, tap any of them and the normal
Navigation view returns until new signpost information is received.
You can modify the signpost settings in . See page 71.

3 Using the navigation
By default, Alpine Navigation System calculates routes using the road network of the maps
provided with the product.
You can select the destination and start navigating to it right away (normal navigation) if you
need a route for immediate navigation.
You can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position even without GPS
reception. To achieve this, you need to set a new starting point in the Multipoint Route menu.
It also suspends guidance so that the route is not recalculated when a new position is
received. See Page 42.
You can plan routes with multiple destinations by selecting a first and a second destination
and adding it to your route. You can add as many destinations to your route as you like. See
Page 38.
You can also use Alpine Navigation System for off-road navigation. See page 51.
The following sections describe how to select a destination, view and modify the route or use
navigation-related features with the help of the touch screen.

3.1.1 Using Freeform Search
There are several ways to select your destination. You can initiate a separate search for
addresses, Places, Saved Locations, or recent destinations, but the fastest way to search for
any of these is to use Freeform Search.
Perform the following steps to use Freeform Search:
1.
Press the navigation hardkey button to access the Navigation menu.
23
2.
Tap . You can see the input field at the top of the screen. Right
next to it you can see the search area, the town around which the search is carried out.
The default search area is the area where you are located. For a local search, skip the
next step.
3.
(optional) To search in a different area, tap the input field with the search area, and
start entering the name of the new search area on the keyboard.
You only need to enter a few letters to get a result. The most likely result appears
below the input field as you enter new letters.
a.
If the new search area is in a different country, start entering the country and the
town. It is usually enough to type the first few letters of the country or town and
conventional abbreviations can also be used.
b.
Tap to see the whole list of the matching results.
4.
With the proper search area displayed, start entering the name, address, or category of
the destination you are looking for.
5.
Tap to switch to the result screen. You can see all the results in
the list, regardless of their type. Addresses, Places, Place categories, Saved
Locations, and recent destinations are mixed in one list. You can immediately select
the result you want to use as your destination or narrow the list of results for only one
type (for example, Places).

6.
If necessary, tap on the right side of the list and then tap the related button to
narrow the list of search results by type (the number on the related icon shows the
number of the matching results):
Tap to see the list of recent destinations with a matching name or
address.
Tap to see the list of your saved locations with a matching name.
Tap to see the list of matching addresses.
Tap to see the list of matching Place category names. Scroll the list and
select one of the categories. You get the list of Places in that category ordered
by their distance from your current position.
Tap to see the list of matching Places ordered by their distance from your
current location.
(optional) If your product contains Places from different data providers, you can
further narrow the list by showing the results from one provider only. Look for
the provider logos. Tap one of them to see Places from that provider.
Tap the Online Providers button to start the new search using the Online Search
facility. Wait for the results and select an item from the list.
Tip!
To search for an intersection in the Freeform search, enter the names of the streets
connected by the '&' sign. You do not need to use spaces before and after the
separator character. For example you can find the intersection of Collins Street and
Douglas Avenue by entering strings, like "Collins St & Douglas Ave", "Collins &
Douglas", "Col&Doug", etc. The more precise the input string is, the fewer false
results are expected. If you enter "Collins St&", you get all the intersections of Collins
Street and you can select the appropriate one from the result list.

The route is calculated and the map appears showing the entire route, where you can
check route information and route alternatives. Tap to modify the
route parameters, or tap to start your journey.
