When entering a tunnel, the map is replaced with a generic tunnel image. See page 18.
1.3.1 Streets and roads
Alpine navigation shows the streets similarly to paper road maps. Their width and colours correspond to their importance; you can easily tell a motorway from a small street.
1.3.2 GPS position markers
When your GPS position is available, Alpine navigation marks your current position. 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
1.3.3 Turn preview and next street
When navigating a route, the top section of the Alpine 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.
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. Tap the icon of the actual manoeuvre to open the Itinerary screen.
1.3.4 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 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.
Normally, if GPS position is available, the route starts from the current position. If there is no valid GPS position, Alpine navigation 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.
16
Streets and roads that are excluded from the navigation
You can choose whether you want to use or avoid certain road types (page 69). However, when Alpine navigation 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.
1.3.5 Manoeuvre icons
During navigation the next manoeuvre is displayed in the top left corner. Most of the manoeuvre icons are intuitive. The following table lists some of the frequently shown route events:

1.3.6 Lane information
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 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.
1.3.7 Signposts
If necessary information is available, Alpine navigation displays signposts 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.
18
You can modify the signpost settings in (page 73).
1.3.8 Junction view
If you are approaching a motorway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. The lanes you need to take are displayed with arrows. At the top of the screen, road signs show you additional information.
If you want to hide the currently displayed junction and return to the Navigation view, tap the picture.
Junction view can be turned off in . See page 73.
1.3.9 Tunnel view
When entering a tunnel, the map is replaced with a generic tunnel image so that surface roads and buildings cannot distract you.

2 Warnings and safety information
The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS receiver. Alpine navigation 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 changes the instructions accordingly.
24
3 Using the navigation
By default, Alpine navigation 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 49.
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 45.
You can also use Alpine navigation for off-road navigation. See page 58.
3.1 Selecting a destination
You can choose your destination by selecting one of the following options:
Using combined search to search among different destination types at once, see page 24
Entering a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a house number, see page 27
Selecting a Place as your destination, see page 33
Selecting a previously saved location as your destination, see page 39
Selecting a location from the History of previously used destinations, see page 40
Selecting a previously saved route, see page 42
Entering the coordinate of the destination, see page 42
Selecting a location on the map, see page 44
Planning a multipoint route, see page 45.
3.1.1 Using combined 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 combined search.
Perform the following steps to use combined search:
1. Tap on the Navigation view to access the Navigation menu.
2. Tap .
