1 Warnings and safety information
The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS
receiver. Alpine Navigation Stick does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track
you.
It is important to look at the d isplay only when it is s afe to do so. If you are the driver of the
vehicle, we recommend that you pla n 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 Stick
changes the instructions accordingly.

2.3.1 Streets and roads
Alpine Navigation Stick 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.
2.3.2 GPS position markers
When your GPS position is available, Alpine N avigation Stick 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 y our 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.

By default, Alpine Navigation Stick calculates routes using the road network of the maps
provided with the product.
You can select the destination an d 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 s tarting point in t he Multipoint Route m enu.
It also suspends guidance so that the route is not recalculated when a new position is
received. See Page 44.
You can plan routes with mult iple destinations by selecting a first a nd a second destination

4 Reference guide
The following sections describe th e d ifferent c onc e pts and m enu s cr eens of A lp ine Navig ation
Stick.
4.1 Concepts
The following sections describe and explain navigation -related concepts.
4.1.1 2D/3D GPS reception
The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and needs at least four
signals to give a three-dimensional position, includ ing elevation. Because the satellites are
moving and because objects can block the signa ls, your GPS device might not receive four
signals. If three satellites ar e ava ilable, t he receiv er can c alculate the h orizonta l GPS pos ition
but the accuracy is lower and the GPS device does not give you elevation data; only 2D
reception is possible.
Several factors have an impact on the devia tion bet ween yo ur real position a nd the one giv en
by the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting o bjects near the
GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can
calculate your position.
4.1.2 Natural and TTS voices
Natural voices are the traditional type of voice instructions. Every phrase t hat occur s in voice
guidance messages is recorded in a studio with a real person. The advantage of pre-recorded
voice is that it sounds rea lly natural, but the range of instructions that can be given this way is
limited. Location-specific information such as street names cannot be announced.
TTS technology provides a machine - generated way to give voic e instructions . The adv antage
of TTS is that it can announce street names, traffic events, route summary, and traffic rules.
4.1.3 Alert Points
There is a proximity warning for special location s such as schools or railroad crossings. You
can add your own Alert Points. See page 51.
The following warning types are available:
x Audio warning: beeps are played (if the voice guidance language that you selected is a
natural voice) or the type of the alert can be announced (TTS voice) while you are
approaching one of these points, and an extra alert warns you if you exceed the given
speed limit while approaching.
x Visual warning: the type of the Alert Point, its distance and the related speed limit
appear on the Navigation view while you are approaching one of these locations.
55
Page 56
For some of the Alert Points, either the enforced or expected speed limit is available. For
these points, the audio alert can be different if you are below or above the given speed limit.
x Only when speeding: The audio a lert is only played when you exceed the given speed
limit.
x When approaching: The audio alert is always played when approaching one of these
Alert Points. In order to draw your attention, the alert is different when you exceed the
speed limit.
4.1.4 Route calculation and recalculation
A route is a sequence of route events, that is, manoeuvres (for example, turns and
roundabouts) to reach the destination. The route c ontains one starting point and one or more
destinations. The starting point is the current (or last known) position by default. If you need to
see a future route, the starting point can be replaced with any other given point. See page 44.
Once the destination has been selected, Alpine Navigation Stick calculates the route based
on your preferences. These preferences are the route planning method, the veh icle type, and
the road types used or avoided when calculating th e route. F or detailed inf ormation on all the
preferences, see Route preferences settings, page 64.
Real-time traffic events are also taken into account, which sometimes greatly modify the
route. See page 57.
Alpine Navigation Stick automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed
itinerary.
If traffic services are enabled, Alpine Navigation Stick considers real-time dynamic traffic
information in route calculation and may also recalculate the route if the traffic situation
changes during navigation.
4.1.5 Smart Zoom
Smart Zoom provides the following features:
x While following a route: When approaching a turn, it zooms in and raises the view
angle to let you easily recognise your next manoeuvre. If the next turn is at a distance,
it zooms out and lowers the view angle to be flat so you can see the road in front of
you.
x While driving without a planned route: Smart Zoom zooms in if you drive slowly and
zooms out when you drive at a high speed.
4.1.6 Speed limit warning
Maps may contain information about th e spe ed limits of the road segments. Alpine Navigation
Stick is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not be available
for your region, or may not be fully correct for all roads on the map.
The maximum speed set in the vehicle profile (page 64) is also used for this warning. Alpine
Navigation Stick alerts you if you exceed the pre-set value even if the legal speed limit is
higher.
Speed warning can be fine-tuned in Warnings. See page 69.
You can also set the relative speed tolerance above which the application initiates the
warning.
56
Page 57
Note!
If there are traffic events on the planned route that the application has not
bypassed, the
icon opens the list of significant traffic events to let you quickly
check them.
The following warning types are available:
x Audio warning: You receive a verbal warning when you exceed the speed limit with the
given percentage.
x Visual warning: The current speed limit is shown on the map when you exceed it (for
example
You can also choose to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time.
).
4.1.7 Historical traffic
If statistical traffic information is stored with the m ap data, Alpine Navigation Stick can take
them into account when planning a r oute. In normal cases, these statistics help you avoid
usual traffic jams on the given day of w eek in t he given hour b ut in some cases li ke on public
holidays that fall on normal weekdays , th ey can b e m isl ead ing. Yo u c an enable or disable this
feature in Traffic settings. See page 73.
4.1.8 Real-time traffic
Real-time traffic information can provide you with the current status of the traffic. Route
calculation can avoid road blocks or unexpected traffic jams caused by an accident.
The application automatically takes account of the traffic events received. You do not nee d to
set anything in Alpine Navigation Stick.
When Alpine Navigation St ick receives traffic in formation that may affect yo ur route, it warns
you that it is recalculating the route. The navigation continues with a new optimal route
considering the most up-to-date traffic conditions.
For information on traffic icons, see page 19.
To fine-tune this service, you have the following options in Traffic settings (page 73):
x Set the minimum amount of time that you think is worth saving at the cost of a detour.
x Instruct Alpine Navigation Stick to have you confirm the new planned route before it
takes effect.

4.1.9 Intelligent navigation
With the help of intelligent navigation, the planned route can adapt to traffic and other
changes during navigation. The following sections describe these features.
4.1.9.1 Congestion detour on highways

You might need to avoid motorways when you are driving a slow car or
you are towing another vehicle.
Charge roads are pay roads where you can purchase a pass or
vignette to use the road for a longer period of time. They can be
enabled or disabled separately from toll roads.
Per-use toll roads are pay roads where there is a per-use charge in the
routes by default. If you disable toll roads, Alpine Navigation Stick plans
the best toll-free route.
Alpine Navigation Stick includes ferr ies in a planned route by default.
However, a map does not necessarily contain information about the
accessibility of temporary ferries. You might also need to p ay a fare on
ferries.
Car shuttle trains are used to transport vehicles for a relatively short
distance and they usually connec t places that ar e not eas ily access ible
on a road, for example, in Switzerland.
Carpool or HOV lanes can be use d if a given number of passengers is
travelling in the vehicle. Check whether you are allow ed to use carpool
lanes before enabling this road type.
Alpine Navigation Stick excludes unpaved roads by default. Unpaved
roads can be in a bad condition and you usually cannot reach the
