1 Warnings and Safety information The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS receiver. XZENT XT9026BT does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you. It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate XZENT XT9026BT before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure and stop if you need to change the route.

There is a field in the top left corner that displays the next manoeuvre. Both the type of the event (turn, roundabout, exiting motorway, etc.) and its distance from the current position are displayed. A smaller icon shows the type of the second next manoeuvre if it is near the first one. Otherwise, only the next manoeuvre is displayed. Most of these icons are very intuitive. The following table lists some of the frequently shown route events.
2.2.3.3 Lane information and Signposts When navigating on multilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the recommended route. If lane information is available in the map data, XZENT XT9026BT displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map.

4 Reference Guide On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu screens of XZENT XT9026BT. 4.1 Concepts 4.1.1 Smart Zoom Smart Zoom provides much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature: • While following a route: when approaching a turn, it will zoom in and raise the view angle to let you easily recognise your manoeuvre at the next junction.
emission calculations are estimations only. They cannot take elevations, curves and traffic conditions into account. • • : Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult manoeuvres. With this option, you can make XZENT XT9026BT to take, for example, the motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets. Road types used or avoided in route calculation: • • • • • Real-time Traffic events are also taken into account and sometimes greatly modify the route.
If the selected route planning method is not Green, and you have allowed the application to show the green alternative, the price, fuel consumption and CO2 emission differences between your selected route and the Green route are also shown on this screen: Tap the field with these details to switch the route to Green immediately. 4.1.
4.1.6 Speed limit warning Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. XZENT XT9026BT is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not be available for your region (ask your local dealer), or may not be fully correct for all roads in the map. Speed warning can be fine-tuned in Sound and Warning settings (page 61). You can set the relative speed above which the application initiates the warning.
4.1.8 Traffic information in route planning The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Real-time traffic information can help you avoid current traffic events like temporary road closures or a traffic jam caused by an accident. The function is subject to data availability. You can display the live traffic information on the map if you browse the map and select this option from the More menu. A 2D map is displayed with road segments coloured by the severity of traffic events.

If there are traffic events on the recommended route that the application has not bypassed, the icon will open the list of significant traffic events to let you quickly check them. 4.2 Settings menu You can configure the program settings, and modify the behaviour of XZENT XT9026BT.
Button Description Enable different sounds and alerts in the application. The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Whenever suitable data exists, traffic information can be taken into account in the route calculation. These settings determine how routes will be calculated. Select the type of vehicle you are driving, the road types used in route planning, and the route planning method. You can fine-tune the appearance of the Map screen.
Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. XZENT XT9026BT is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not be available for your region (ask your local dealer), or may not be fully correct for all roads in the map. This setting lets you decide whether you wish to receive visible and/or audible warnings. Adjust the slider to set the relative speed above which the application initiates the warning.
4.2.2 Traffic settings The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Whenever suitable data exists, traffic information can be taken into account in the route calculation. Button Description Use this switch to enable or disable the TMC receiver that can receive real-time traffic information. The rest of the buttons below are all related to the TMC function and are available only if the receiver is enabled.
Button Description You might need to avoid motorways when you are driving a slow car or you are towing another vehicle. Charge roads are pay roads where you can purchase a pass or vignette to use the road for a longer period of time. They can be enabled or disabled separately from toll roads. XZENT XT9026BT includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a per-use charge) in the routes by default. If you disable toll roads, XZENT XT9026BT plans the best toll-free route.
4.2.4 Data Fields Adjust how the software helps you navigate with different kinds of route related information on the Map screen. The data fields in the corner of the Map screen can be customised. Tap this button and select the values you want to see. The values can be different when you navigate a route from when you are just cruising without a given destination.
Replace the default position marker to one of the 3D vehicle models. You can select separate icons for different vehicle types selected for route planning. Separate icons can be used for car, pedestrian and the other vehicles. Show or suppress 3D landmarks, 3D artistic or block representations of prominent or well-known objects. Show or suppress 3D city models, 3D artistic or block representation of full city building data containing actual building size and position on the map.
5 Glossary 2D/3D GPS reception The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and needs at least four signals to give a three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are moving and because objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four signals.
North-up map orientation In North-up mode the map is rotated so its top always faces North. This is the orientation for example in Find on Map. Road Safety Camera Special alert points for speed, red light or bus lane cameras. Different data sources are available. You can configure XZENT XT9026BT to warn you when you approach one of these cameras. Detecting the location of Road Safety Cameras is prohibited in certain countries.
