Enter data only when the vehicle is

stationary, and always obey the traffic regulations and road signs in the event of any contradiction between the traffic situation and the instructions given by the navigation system. If you do not observe this precaution, you may be in violation of the law, and can endanger vehicle occupants and other road users.<

The navigation system eliminates the need to consult conventional road maps as you drive. It therefore makes an important contribution to traffic safety.

GPS stands for Global Positioning System. This integral component within your

vehicle's navigation system relies on reference satellites to determine the precise position of your vehicle.

The result: The navigation system automatically and reliably guides you to any destination selected.

Map CDs/DVDs are inserted in the navigation computer. It is located in the floor beneath the right seat and is protected by a cover.

To ensure that your vehicle's navigation system has access to the latest highway network information, always load the most recent CD/DVD version of the digital road map. As is the case with conventional road maps, the map CDs/DVDs are subject to periodic updates to ensure that they reflect the latest information and surveys.

Changing the map CD/DVD

Each map CD/DVD contains road maps covering one or more countries or regions. When you are driving your MINI, your navigation system will alert you when you are leaving the area stored on the map CD/ DVD that is currently loaded. You should respond by changing the map CD/DVD in the navigation computer.

The map CDs must be version 2001-1 or higher.<

Changing the map CD/DVD:

1. Push the right seat forward

2. Open the cover

4. Remove the CD/DVD

5. Insert the new CD/DVD

6. Allow approx. eight seconds for the new CD/DVD to start.

The DVD contains additional functions, such aslarger map scales and

selectable border crossings.<

Handling CDs/DVDs

CDs/DVDs are coated on both sides with a protective film. Nevertheless, please observe the following precautions:

Touch CDs/DVDs on the outer edge only to avoid getting fingerprints or dust, scratches or humidity on the reflective scanning surface

Do not write on or apply adhesive labels to the CDs/DVDs

If necessary, clean the reflective scanning surface with a commercially-available cloth, wiping from the center to the outer edge

Condensation on the CDs/DVDs(e.g. due to large temperature differences) may prevent the computer from being able to read them properly.

Do not use solvents, abrasive cleansers, detergents intended for phono-

graphic records or antistatic sprays.<

CURRENT POSITION

Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 157 018 - © 01/03 BMW AG

Current position display

Before starting off, you would like to have a look at the map to determine your current position.

To call up the map: Select "Map".

The current position of your vehicle is indicated on the map.

To store this position:

1. Press the rotary button. A selection menu appears on the screen

2. Select "Dest. Input Map". A map showing current position and

destination appears along with a cursor

3. Select "Position". The current position of your vehicle is

indicated on the map.

For map scales below 1 mile or 2 km, you can store the position in the address book using "Save Dest.", refer to page 38.

Entering the current position

A correction of the position is only recommended in exceptional cases because the GPS receiver only requires a few minutes to find the position, for example, after the vehicle is transported with a car-carrying train.

To enter your current position:

1. Select "Information"

2. Select "Input Position"

3. Select city and street if desired. Enter your current position with the

same procedure used to enter destinations, refer to page 23

4. Select "Intersection?". The information "Crossing intersection"

is output and the current position is copied from the GPS navigation system.

If the navigation system was able to determine the position, this location

is stored in the system.<

WORDMATCH PRINCIPLE

Your navigation system features a "wordmatch" system designed to make it easier for you to enter names. The system runs ongoing checks, comparing your destination entries with the data stored on the map CD/DVD as the basis for instant response. The user benefits include:

When you make an entry that consists of more than one word, the system can identify the name regardless of the sequence in which you enter the individual words.

Example: Official version:

J.F. Kennedy Square Possible entries:

Kennedy Square J.F. or:

Square J.F. Kennedy

Names of specific locations can also vary from the official versions, provided that the spelling of the entry corresponds to a standard form used in another country

When you are entering the names of cities and streets, the system will complete them automatically as soon as enough letters are available to ensure unambiguous identification.

Example: You want to drive to Rexford Drive in

Beverly Hills; as soon as you enter the letter "x", the system has enough information for positive identification and can then finish the entry automatically

The system only accepts name entries beginning with letters that are stored on the map CD/DVD. This makes it impossible to enter an incorrect name or nonexistent address.

WHAT TO DO IF ...

What to do if …

you request the current position of your vehicle, but do not receive a precise display? The system is unable to receive enough GPS signals at your current position owing to obstructions, your position is not yet available on your map CD/DVD or the system is in the process of calculating your position. Please try again later

the GPS logo disappears from the screen? Reception is interrupted; a building or similar obstruction may be the cause

the guidance system fails to adopt an address from the address book as its destination? The address is not on the map CD/DVD currently in use. Choose an address as close as possible to the original one, using the map for saving destinations as necessary

the guidance system does not adopt an address without the street? No specified center is defined for the selected locality on your map CD/DVD . Enter any street or destination, e.g. railway station, in the selected city and start active guidance

you wish to enter a destination address into the guidance system, but the letters for it cannot be selected? The address is not on the map CD/DVD currently in use. In this case, the system will not offer you any letters to choose from. Choose an address as close as possible to the original one, if necessary using the map for saving destinations

you attempt to enter a destination address using the target cursor, but the guidance system refuses to accept your entry? Your current scale does not offer adequate resolution. The system only accepts destinations from scales of up to 1 mile or 2 km ("Save dest." can be highlighted)

the system stops furnishing directions on which way to turn as you approach intersections? You are driving in an area that has not yet been completely recorded on the map CD/DVD. The output route arrow points in the direction of the next point or destination already detected, or you have left the recommended route and the system requires a few seconds to calculate a new recommended route

>the route map automatically appears

while you are being guided to your destination (full screen mode)? You are driving in an area that has not yet been completely recorded on the map CD/DVD. The guidance system cannot operate under these conditions. However, you will see the current position of your MINI in the map display to help you orient yourself

>the battery has been disconnected?

It will take approx. 15 minutes for the system to resume operation.
