Operation Manual

You can also use the TMC data received by a Blaupunkt car radio. To find out which

Blaupunkt car radios are equipped to receive TMC data and relay this information to

the TravelPilot EX-V, please contact your Blaupunkt specialist dealer or ring the Blau-

punkt telephone hotline. The hotline number is listed on the last page of these instruc-

tions.

How navigation works

Your TravelPilot EX-V uses GPS, a satellite-supported locating system, to determine

the current position of the vehicle. GPS stands for Global Positioning System, a sys-

tem which can be used to reliably determine your location anywhere in the world. A

“gyroscope” and the electronic speedometer signal are also used to track the vehi-

cle’s movements. The TravelPilot EX-V navigation system compares this data with

the data stored in digital form on the navigation DVD-ROM and uses it to calculate the

routes in route guidance.

If the TravelPilot EX-V is connected to a TMC source (“TMC D-Namic tuner box” or

appropriately equipped car radio), it will be able to take the current traffic situation into

account when calculating the route. For more information on TMC, please refer to the

section on “Dynamic Route Guidance with TMC”.

Switching the unit on

If the TravelPilot EX-V has been properly connected to the vehicle ignition and contin-

uous plus, the TravelPilot EX-V will switch on automatically when you start your vehi-

cle.
