ROUTE CALCULATION, FUNCTION - GF82.61-P-3011E 

MODEL 163, 168, 170, 203.0 /2 /7, 208, 209.3 /4, 210 with CODE (353) Audio 30 APS  

Once the destination is entered into the radio (A2) the route is calculated by the integrated navigation processor 
and constantly updated. This can only be calculated within the digitalized map areas. The calculated route is the 
prerequisite of the destination guidance system. 

Route calculation, function  

The navigation processor calculates the route based on the entered destination and with the aid of the DVD map 
data while constantly finding the location. In the calculation, it takes into account the roads and attributes 
available on the DVD card and their attributes, such as one-way streets, bans on turns, road classes, etc. (where 
present). 

Additionally, it is possible for the operator to indicate how the route is to be calculated: 

Fastest route  

Shortest route  

Own adjustments  

In the event of "OWN ADJUSTMENTS", the following stretches can be blocked from the route calculation:

After calculation of the route, the navigation processor makes up a list of the streets along the route. This route 
list is used for navigation. It can be displayed during navigation by pressing the "I" (INFO) and "RTE" (Route) 
buttons. 

Route updating  

If the driver deviates from the calculated route, a new route list is automatically calculated by the navigation 
processor. The current position and the direction of travel are taken into consideration, and the new route is 
optimized accordingly. This is accomplished without any message on the display. 

Circumventing traffic jams with "Traffic jam" menu key function  

After a traffic jam is reported on traffic radio and before reaching the affected section, a route can be calculated 
for driving around the traffic jam. For this purpose, activate the "Traffic jam" menu and enter the length of the 
traffic jam including the distance to the start of the traffic jam. 

The "Traffic jam" function is also available for Federal and State highways as well as for inner city areas. 

Trips outside the digitized map area  

If the vehicle leaves the digitized DVD map area (e.g. driving into a multi-level car park), then no route can be 
calculated or updated. "OFF ROAD" appears on the display. Upon leaving the map boundary, the display "OFF 
MAP" appears. 

Destinations which lie outside of the digitalized map area cannot be taken into consideration on calculation of 
the route.

The route is calculated and updated continuously by the navigation processor after entering the destination on 
the radio and navigation module (A2/56) It can only be calculated within the digitized map area. The 
calculated route is the prerequisite of the guidance system . 

Route calculation  

The navigation processor calculates the route with the aid of the CD-ROM map data, the entered destination

and the momentary position. When calculating it considers the roads and attributes such as one-way streets, 
turning prohibitions, street classes,....(if present) read in from the CD-ROM map. Thereby it is possible for the 
user to determine in which way the route is to be calculated: 

Maximize freeways  

Shortest route  

Minimize freeways  

Minimize toll roads  

Following route calculation the navigation processor sets up a list of the roads and junctions to be taken. This 
route list is used for guidance. It can be displayed by calling up the menu " LIST ". 

Route updating 

If the driver deviates from the calculated route, a new route list is calculated by the navigation 
processor. The current position and the direction of travel are taken into consideration, and the 
new route is optimized accordingly. If the driver wants to deviate from the route, the calculation 
processor calculates a new route by pressing the multifunction key "DETR
 " (detour). 

On freeways the newly calculated route starts within approx. 5 miles and on highways within approx. 1 mile ". 

Detouring traffic jams, construction sites with "Avoid Road " function. 

When approaching a traffic jam, a construction site etc., it is possible to set up a new route calculation 
detouring the hindrance before the reaching the corresponding route section. 

For this purpose press" NAVI MENU " button. Select "Route" with the aid of the" joystick " and then select" 
Avoid Road ". Select road to be avoided in the list displayed then. 

If more roads are to be avoided proceed with " Continue to Avoid Roads ". If the newly calculated route is 
acceptable confirm with " Reroute ". Then confirm in " Continue Trip to " menu with Enter.

Navigation is the generation and output of driving recommendations, in order to guide the driver to the desired 
destination. The prerequisites of destination guidance include: 

Constant map matching is in operation (occurs automatically),  

Destination was entered  

Route has been calculated.  

The navigation processor continuously compares the route calculation data with the ongoing location finding 
data and derives from this measures for further navigation. 

 The navigation processor is integrated in the radio (A2). 

Depending on the vehicle position, a distinction is made between the following navigation modes: 

Destination within digitized DVD map area  

Restricted navigation outside the digitalized DVD map area
