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 license agreement (page 82).

2.3.2 GPS position markers
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 color
The route always stands out with its color on the map, both in daytime
and night color modes.
Streets and roads that
are excluded from the
navigation
You can choose whether you want to use or avoid certain road types
(page 70). However, when Alpine Navigation System cannot avoid
such roads, the route includes them and shows them in a color that is
different from the route color.
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 color, and small symbols displayed
along the route show the type of the traffic event.
When your GPS position is available, Alpine Navigation System 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.
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:

Leave the ferry.
Approaching a waypoint on the right.
Approaching the destination.
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 color 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.

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 47.
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 42.
You can also use Alpine Navigation System for off-road navigation. See page 57.
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 Selecting a destination
You can choose your destination by selecting one of the following options:
Using Freeform Search to search among different destination types at once, see page 24

3.1.1 Using Freeform Search
There are several ways to select your destination. You can initiate a separate search for addresses,

Freeform Search.
Perform the following steps to use Freeform Search:
1. Press the navigation hardkey button to access the Navigation menu.

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 or state, start entering the country/state and
the town.
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

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.
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.

(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 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.
