Introduction
4
• Entries taken from the software (like buttons, menu items or labels for check boxes) are in bold.
• Specific functions and programs of your navigation system (e. g. MP3 Player etc.) or PC (e. g.
Windows Explorer etc.) are italicised.
• Information about directories and paths (on the external SD card or on the flash memory of your
navigation device) are italicised.
The information in this manual documents the operation of the navigation software, explains the
graphic display on the screen of your navigation device and lists the available selection options for
individual functions. So, the following applies for the following descriptions:
• Descriptions pertaining to executing a function are listed numerically, thus defining the order of
the individual steps.
• Descriptions referring to various elements in a software window or similar, are also listed
numerically, but in colour.
• Descriptions listing various equivalent options (as in this case), are indicated with bullet points.

Important information
The following contains important information regarding the operation of your navigation system.
This information is repeated in the form of comments and tips at appropriate places in this manual.
• For safety reasons, entries may not be made by the driver whilst driving: Please make the
necessary entries before beginning the journey.
• If you need to change your entries during the journey, stop your vehicle at a suitable point
(parking spot etc.).
• Vehicle windscreens made of Thermoglas or metalised windscreens considerably limit the GPS
reception. There is usually a special opening in this metallic coating, behind which the navigation
device can be placed. If that is not the case, a commercially-available GPS antenna must be
mounted outside the passenger cabin (e. g. on the roof of the vehicle).
• The instructions for the navigation system are recommendations only: Always pay attention to
road traffic regulations.
• Please note that your navigation device must receive a valid GPS signal in order to calculate the
route from the current position.
