Introduction

GENERAL INFORMATION

• After transport of the vehicle by a tow truck, car train or in a car ferry, the navigation system may need a few minutes outdoors for exact repositioning.

• After the vehicle battery has been disconnected, the system may need up to 15 minutes for exact repositioning. The vehicle has to be situated outdoors and the system has to be switched on to receive the GPS satellites.

• The system is fully operational even without valid GPS data, but the accuracy of positioning may decrease.

• As soon as sufficient GPS data is received, the color of the satellite icon in the GPS window changes from red to green.

• On highways, the distance indications of the navigation system for exits are different from those on the highway signs. The highway signs refer to the distance to the beginning of the exit, whereas the navigation system refers to the end of the exit. This is the point where you must turn.

• When the vehicle is moving, only the five buttons on the console will be active. The rotary button will be active only after selecting one of the five buttons and only if applicable to the menu available.

Introduction

HOW DOES THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WORK?

The navigation system is a tool to assist the driver in daily traffic. The system allows you to enter the destination and activate “Guidance”, and the system provides guidance advice through both audio and visual advice.

Determination of the vehicle position

The movement of the vehicle is measured by sensors which are integrated into the navigation system. The distance driven is recorded by an electronic signal from the speedometer and the rotary movements of turns by the gyroscope (a rotary measurement system). The information from these sensors is, however, not always exact as the values can be affected by tire slippage, varying tire pressure due to changes in temperature, etc.

Data from the sensors, in conjunction with positional information received from the global positioning system is transmitted to the navigation computer. The resultant calculated position is then compared against the road network data stored on the CD-ROM in order to display the current vehicle position.

GPS (global positioning system)

The global positioning system is based on the reception of navigation signals from a total of 24 GPS satellites at a height of 20 920 km (13 000 miles).

Signals from at least four satellites must be received to determine the vehicle position with sufficient accuracy. The GPS receiver can handle up to eight satellite signals simultaneously. This allows an accuracy of approximately 100 m (328 ft), which is further improved by other sensors so that a final accuracy of approximately6mto18m (20 ft to 60 ft) can be reached.

When the vehicle is parked for a long period of time, the satellites change their orbital positions. Therefore, when the ignition is turned on again it can take a few minutes before the navigation system can pick up enough satellites and evaluate the received signals.

• Sufficient reception is indicated by the green symbol that appears in the system’s display. If the satellite symbol remains red, the GPS reception is not sufficient.

Introduction

When starting up, the navigation system may tell you: “You are leaving the digitized area”. The displayed map will then show the vehicle position off the road. If there are other roads in this area, the navigation system may send inappropriate messages. This means that the system assumes the vehicle is on one of the other roads.

• When the vehicle has been parked for a long period of time, the navigation function may be temporarily unresponsive. The navigation system will operate reliably again once GPS reception is available for a few minutes.

Limited GPS reception

System performance may be adversely affected if GPS reception is interrupted or interference occurs over a distance of several miles. The following are possible causes for GPS reception being interrupted. If the vehicle is:

• in multi-story parking garages,

• in tunnels and under bridges,

• in between high buildings,

• by forests or tree-lined avenues,

• in heavy rain showers and thunderstorms,

• in valleys and in mountainous regions.

The digital road map

In order to plan a route, the current car position, destination location, as well as all the roads in between are needed. This information is available on digital road map CDs which you insert into your navigation computer.

Real road network

Introduction

Line pattern of the digital map

On the map CD, the road network is stored as a line pattern, which means that even extensive junctions only have one center point all roads lead to. That is why the navigation system indicates the distance to the next turn as the distance to the center of the junction. Therefore, the distance indications for freeway exits given by the navigation system may be different from those on the freeway signs. The freeway signs refer to the distance to the beginning of the exit.

Latest map CDs

Approximately 10–15% of the traffic network is changing annually. Due to these constantly changing conditions (new roads, traffic restrictions, etc.) a 100% correspondence of the digital road map with reality cannot be achieved under all circumstances. We recommend to always use the latest version of the map CD for Navigation.

Updated CDs are available twice per year through Navigation Technologies. Refer to the Ordering additional map CDs section in the Map CD chapter for more information.

• You can only input the city name and the navigation system will then guide you to the city boundary.

• Unincorporated county listings require a street or a point of interest to activate guidance.

8. CHOOSE “Guidance.”

• The guidance screen appears.

• The system plans a route to the desired destination.

Features of the database

• When using the “keyboard,” the previously entered characters are compared with all database entries. Only valid characters (highlighted) can be selected. If there is a unique entry in the database, the system completes the name automatically and “OK” becomes selectable.

• If there is more than one database entry with the same name, the cursor is automatically placed on “List”. CHOOSE the entry from the list. If the number of data entries is very large, setting up the list may take a few seconds.

• If a city name, road name or facility name entered is not unique in the database, the navigation system presents you a list of all identical entries distinguished by additional information. If, for example, a city name is not unique, a list of all matching cities in the database will be presented.

• In completely mapped areas, house numbers are available in the database. When entering the road name with the “keyboard,”, you can also enter the desired house number after the road name is entered. The visual and audible advice that notifies you that you have arrived at the destination may not notify you at the exact driveway of the house number due to system restrictions.
