TravelPilot RGN 08
(Bremen RCM 127 / New York RDM 127)
Operating instructions
General information
Operating the system while driving
Allowing yourself to be distracted by the TravelPilot RGN 08 can lead to a situation where you are
“driving blind”.
If you are not paying attention to the current traffic
situation around you, you could cause a serious accident.
Please consider the fact that at a speed of 50 km/h you
are travelling 14 m every second.
• Before starting off on your journey, make sure you
have familiarised yourself with the system.
• While you are driving, only use the voice output
and directional symbols on the monitor.
• Stop your vehicle at a suitable location if you wish
to re-program the TravelPilot RGN 08 or look up
more detailed information.
Route guidance
The current traffic routing situation can differ from
the data stored on the CD-ROM.
Due to system limitations, the TravelPilot RGN 08
cannot warn of altered traffic routing conditions e.g. due
to road construction measures. If you do not pay
attention to the actual traffic routing conditions, there is
a danger that you will cause a serious accident. Furthermore, you will be violating road traffic regulations.
• Please ensure that you take notice of signs relating
to the current traffic routing situation. As the driver,
you are solely responsible for traffic safety.
• Use the latest CD-ROM for the TravelPilot RGN 08
in order to avoid this problem as much as possible
right from the start. Ask your dealer for the latest
update.

Area of use
The TravelPilot RGN 08 has been designed for use in
passenger cars.
The CD-ROM currently does not include any limitations
relating to lorries and buses such as height restrictions
or maximum permitted loads. If these are disregarded,
there is a danger that you will cause an accident.
Furthermore, you will be violating road traffic regulations.
• The TravelPilot RGN 08 can only be used, without
any limitations applying, in passenger cars.
Product information
The TravelPilot RGN 08 is an active guidance system for the
Bremen RCM 127 and New York RDM 127 car stereo
systems.
Using this system, you can let yourself be guided to your
required destination if a navigation CD has been inserted
that is valid for your present location and destination in
question.
CDs, such as the Merian Scout travel guide and other
country-specific CDs, are also available.
The guidance system provides audio-visual information.
You will be given precise information over the car stereo
loudspeakers with regard to such things as when and where
to take the next road turning.
The volume and tone of the voice output can be adjusted.
Directional symbols are used to convey information on the
car stereo display screen. Furthermore, the name of the
street that the vehicle is presently driving down is displayed
as well as the current distance to the destination and the
remaining time required to drive there. Prior to taking a
turning, the name of the road that is to be turned into is
displayed.
If you did not follow a suggested direction, a new route to the
destination will be calculated within a few seconds. So, for
instance, this means that you can by all means take a “secret
route around the houses” that you are familiar with even
though the TravelPilot has at the time given you other
directions.
The system knows where one-way streets, areas restricted
to traffic (e.g. pedestrian precincts, etc.) and no-left or noright turns are situated, and takes these into account when
calculating routes for passenger cars.
Delivery
TravelPilot RGN 08
The navigation system comprises a powerful computer with
CD-ROM drive, GPS receiver, GPS antenna and the latest
CD-ROM version.

If you are driving your vehicle down a nondigitised road (e.g. car park, garage, multistorey car park) the OFF ROAD message

If your vehicle is outside the digitised network (e.g. abroad), OFF MAP will be displayed.
In such cases, you can orientate yourself
by referring to the arrow shown in the display which indicates the direction in which
your destination lies.
After entering the digitised network again
from a non-digitised road, the system requires a few minutes of journey time before
it can start issuing route recommendations
again.
If you should leave the recommended
route, the system will calculate a new
route to your destination from your current position.
Upon reaching your destination, the display
will show a chequered flag together with
the DEST. REACHED! message and a
voice announcement will be made: “You
have reached your destination”.
Note:
If the destination you entered is not included in the digitised network of streets (e.g.

If you are in the immediate vicinity of your

you selected (e.g. a stored location) is not

JAM AHEAD Using the “JAM AHEAD” function, the cal-
culated route can be altered according to
the current traffic situation. This means that
if you see a problem with the traffic up
ahead or you are informed about this over
the radio (e.g. a traffic jam or road works),
you can exclude certain route sections
starting from your current vehicle position.
The route sections that can be excluded
refer to the road network that lies ahead of
you and your vehicle. Each section comprises the section of road located between
two road junctions. The first section that
can be excluded comprises the length of
road starting from your vehicle and ending
at the next junction but one. The navigation
system then calculates a new route starting
from the next possible turning which, if possible, will bypass the traffic disruption. To
call up the traffic jam function, press the
upper left function key.
Example:
You have entered a small town and are
driving your vehicle between road turning A
and turning B. The traffic information you
hear on the radio informs you that there is
a disruption to traffic between turning C
and D.

POSITION If the vehicle has been transported by car
train or ferry, the system must re-position
itself to its new location. With the help of
GPS, this is done automatically after you
have driven for several minutes. If the system is unable to re-position itself automatically, it will be necessary to enter your position manually.
Note:
You can only enter your current position in
combination with a street junction.
If you select POSITION, you will see
two ways of entering your current position.
DIRECT ENTRY Enter your current position as described for
entering your destination, starting with city,
street and junction. After pressing SET
POSITION, you can adjust your distance
to the junction more precisely using -M
and M+ . Then press SET. Your current position will be set and the DSC navigation menu will appear in the display.

STANDBY When you switch off your vehicle’s ignition,
you also switch off the TravelPilot. When
the system is switched back on, you must
re-activate route guidance. To put route
guidance on standby, you can enter a

route guidance in progress will remain
stored. When your vehicle is re-started,
route guidance will resume functioning immediately and continue automatically as if
it hadn’t been interrupted.
Select the standby time by pressing
-TIME and TIME+ and set it.
The standby time can be set to a maximum of 30 minutes!

Guide for operating the system when installed in a shop display panel:
S
AUXILIARY MENU
If the RGN 08 is to be operated in demo mode while installed in a
demo wall (e.g. in a shop display), a minimum calibration must be
carried out. Open the auxiliary menu by pressing the AUX key and
then press the 9, 5, 7 function keys one after another. After approx. 8 seconds, the service menu will appear. Press the
rocker switch until the selection arrow v points to Navigation
and then switch back to the auxiliary menu by pressing the S key
twice.
To run the demo mode, proceed as follows:
1. Select DEMO from the DSC menu. The demo mode menu will then
appear.
If ON is selected, the route will be travelled along only once and will
then stop. A new destination must then be entered and route guidance must be restarted.
If CONTINUOUS is selected, the demo will run in a continuous loop,
i.e. it will continue to repeat the route from the starting point to the
destination.
2. After selecting one of these menu items, the system will be restarted.
3. After the system has restarted, select POSITION from the DSC
menu and, as described in the Chapter entitled “Example for entering
a destination”, select a town, a street and the appropriate crossing.
After entering the address, press the SET POSITION function
key.

4. Now the distance to the crossing has to be set. It is recommended
that the position be set using -M and M+ to 50 METRES
AHEAD.
5. Next select the SET function key.
6. Now enter a destination in the usual manner and start route guidance. After the route has been calculated, the demo will run automatically. While in demo mode, all functions can be operated as if the
unit were operating under real conditions.
7. The system can be made to return to normal navigation mode by selecting OFF in the demo mode menu. The navigation computer will
then restart and will return to the main navigation menu.

Appendix
CD-ROM
The data required for route guidance are stored digitally on the CD-ROM.
For details on the exact contents of the CD, please refer to the information
accompanying it.
Changing the CD
The CD-ROM can only be changed whilst the vehicle is stationary. The
system must be switched on. To eject a CD-ROM, slide the locking lever to
the left. The CD-ROM will then be ejected. While the CD is being ejected,
the locking lever must not be slid back to the right. Carefully insert the new
navigation CD-ROM – with its label facing uppermost – as far into the CD
slot as necessary until the CD-ROM player begins to draw the CD in by
itself. After the CD has been drawn in completely, slide the locking lever
back to the right again.
Note:
After changing the CD, the system will, if necessary, automatically reload
the language. Loading the language usually takes approx. 30 seconds.

Wrong CD-ROM
S
If the wrong CD-ROM is inserted into the navigation computer, the following
error message will appear: “PLEASE CHECK CD-ROM!”. If this is the
case, remove the incorrect CD-ROM and replace it with the correct one.
For technical reasons this error message will also appear if the maximum
permitted temperature is exceeded while the unit is operating. Let the unit
continue running until the internal ventilation fan has cooled the computer
down to its normal operating temperature. When this has been achieved,
the computer will automatically start up again and the main navigation
menu will appear.
Tyre change and calibration
When changing the vehicle’s tyres from summer to winter tyres and back
again, errors in distance measurements may arise (in particular if using
wheel sensors). If, after a tyre change, the resulting distance errors
negatively influence the system’s navigation behaviour, the system will
need to be re-calibrated. Please consult a TravelPilot dealer with regard to
this. Normal tyre wear is automatically taken into account by the system.
Caution: If calibration is incorrect, this can lead to a malfunctioning
of the system. If in doubt, please consult a TravelPilot
dealer.
PLEASE
CHECK
CD-ROM!
40
Error messages
If one of the listed error messages appears in the top line of the display while
the unit is in operation, please consult your service workshop.
Possible error messages:
• Check calibration
• Check travel sensor
• Check GPS antenna
• Defective GPS receiver
• Check GYRO
CD read error
This error appears if the data could not be read correctly from the CD-ROM
(e.g. due to strong vibrations or a damaged CD-ROM). If the error message
does not disappear, the navigation computer must be checked and tested
at a service point.
Subject to modification!
