Operating Instructions
Important information for road traffic safety
Operation while driving
As a driver you are solely responsible for your road safety.
Use this equipment only in situations where you keep complete control of your vehicle at all times! Remember that, at a speed of 50 kph, you travel a distance of almost 14 m within one second.
Route guidance
The route guidance system provides you with driving recommendations only. It is always up to you to take another route. When leaving the recommended route, the system will automatically calculate a new one leading to the desired destination. This can either be done immediately or after the system has prompted you twice “Make a U-turn, if possible”. The route guidance function only provides information for the individual vehicle. The system does not include possible limitations for trucks or coaches (e.g. with respect to max. permissible height or weight). The TravelPilot provides assistance regarding oneway streets, pedestrian areas and turning regulations. It is your responsibility to pay attention to the current traffic situation at all times!

Product information
The TravelPilot RGS 05 is an active route guidance system.
After having inserted the corresponding navigation CD containing the area of the current vehicle position and the destination area, you can use this system in order to be guided to your destination. Discs for other countries or Merian Scout travel guides are under preparation or already available.
The travel recommendations for route guidance are output acoustically and visually.
Using a separate loudspeaker the system provides you with precise information, for example when having to make a turn.
The volume and tone of the voice output can be controlled or switched off completely.
On the display you can find the same information offered in a visual form. In addition, the system shows you the name of the currently used road as well as the current distance to the destination.
If you have missed a turn, the TravelPilot navigator will re-calculate a new route within a few seconds. Therefore, it is no problem if you decide to „take to the back roads“ although the navigator first gives you another route recommendation.
The system „knows“ one-way streets, pedestrian areas, play streets, turning regulations etc. and takes them into consideration when calculating the individual vehicle route.
