A Navigation Software User’s Guide
When employing a navigation system in a vehicle, i.e., this software and the accompanying
hardware, it is your responsibility to set up, secure and use the system in a manner that does not
restrict your vision in any way and will not lead to accidents, injuries or material damages. You, as
the user of this product, are solely responsible for driving safely. Do not handle this product while
driving—always park the car first.
1 Main Menu
The main menu contains five options:
1. Navigation: Here you can enter the destination to start navigation.
2. Route Planning: Here you can plan the route to check the distance and
approximate travel time.
3. Position: Indicates your current GPS position on the map.
4. Options: Here you can define diverse navigation device settings (e.g., saving
frequently visited addresses).
5. Traffic: Displays a list of current traffic conditions (if TMC is installed)
6. Quit: Quits the navigation program.
1.1 General Information
Your navigation program always displays a red button with a white arrow in the lower
left corner. The red button acts as a “back” function and will take you to the previous
step in the menu. If you get lost in the navigation menu, repeatedly click the RED button

until you return to the main menu.
On many screens a green button is displayed on the lower right-hand side. This
GREEN button allows you to confirm entries or scroll through menus.
1.2 GPS Reception
Your navigation system is equipped with a so-called GPS receiver which is used by the
system to determine your current position. For best reception, mount the device such
that it is exposed to the sky without obstruction. When used within buildings or the
interior of the car, GPS reception might not be sufficient for operation.
For this reason, please mount your navigation device directly below the windshield, as
far to the front as possible. Please note that metallized front windshields (heat insulating
windshields) may adversely affect GPS reception.
Navigation can only take place if a valid GPS signal is received. After setting up the
device for the first time or after traveling by plane, it may take a few minutes until a valid
signal is received.
If the GPS-receiver has not been configured yet the screen will display the above
message. By pressing the blue “GPS settings” button the GPS settings dialog is
displayed. Please read more about GPS configuration in chapter 5.8. Press the red
button to return to the main menue.
In case the GPS-receiver has been pre-configured but the GPS-signal is of poor quality
the message shown below will be displayed. Press the red button to return to the main
menue.

However, if the GPS receiver has been configured correctly the route calculation will
automatically start as soon as reception is back to normal.
During navigation the current GPS and TMC signal is indicated at the bottom left of the
display (red circle).

2 Navigation
There are several methods for specifying the destination:
2.1 Home
If you click Home, you will be guided to your home address. See Chapter 5.2 for
detailed information on how to set up your home address.
2.2 Office
If you click Office, you will be guided to your office address. See Chapter 5.2 for
detailed information on how to set up your office address.
2.3 Address
2.3.1 City
You can enter the destination address here.
Enter the city name using the screen keyboard. As soon as you enter the first letter, the
navigation system starts searching for the city. Possible matches are presented in a
results list. If the desired city is shown, you can select it by clicking it in the list.
The previously entered letters are displayed in the bottom line of the screen. During
entry, letters no longer available are grayed out on the keyboard.

2.3.2 Special characters (‘umlauts’), spaces, hyphens, apostrophe
You do not need to enter ‘umlauts’. In place of an ‘Ä’ simply enter ‘A’, instead of ‘Ö’
enter ‘O’, instead of ‘Ü’ enter ‘U’. For example, if your destination is located in ‘Köln,’
Germany, just enter ‘K O L N’.
You do not need to enter spaces and hyphens. Instead, simply click the empty field to
the left of the white triangle (at the bottom, third button from the right).
2.3.3 Deleting entries
If you make a mistake, click the backspace key to delete the wrong entry.

2.3.4 Street
Start by entering the first two letters of the street you are trying to locate. The bottom
line displays the city where the street is being searched.
Alternatively, you can select DOWNTOWN if you want to drive to the center of the
respective city.
In this example “R O T E” was entered. If the desired street is displayed in the list, you
can select it by clicking it in the list.
In large cities it is possible that streets with the same name exist in different districts.

In this case, choose the desired destination based on the zip code or the district
indicated in the list.
2.3.5 House number
Next you are requested to enter the house number.
Enter the house number and confirm by pressing the GREEN button. If you do not know
the house number, click the GREEN button without making an entry. In this case, the
navigation system will take you to the center of the selected street. Press the RED
button to return to the street selection screen.
