1 Warnings and Safety information The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS receiver. Blaupunkt Navigation does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you. If you accept this when first using the application, it collects usage information and GPS logs that may be used for improving the application and the quality and coverage of maps. The data is processed anonymously; no one will be able to track any personal information.

4 Reference Guide On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu screens of Blaupunkt Navigation. 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.
CO2 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 Blaupunkt Navigation to take, for example, the motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets. Vehicle types: • : • Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route. • Roads are used only if access for cars is allowed.
• • Whenever data exist, route calculation takes into account statistical traffic data for the given day of week and time of day (page 69). Real-time Traffic events are also taken into account and sometimes greatly modify the route. Blaupunkt Navigation automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary or if a newly received Traffic event concerns a part of the recommended route. For further information about Route settings, see page 76. 4.1.
4.1.5 Road safety cameras and other proximity alert points There is a special proximity warning for road safety cameras (like speed or red light cameras) and other proximity alert points (like schools or railroad crossings). These alert points are not part of Blaupunkt Navigation. You can download them from www.naviextras.com or you can upload points in a specific text file if needed. You can also add your own alert points or edit the previously uploaded points. See page 60 for details.
4.1.7 GPS position quality indicator and current time You can find useful information in the top corners of menu screens. The current time is displayed in the top left corner. In the top right corner, the GPS reception quality icon shows the current accuracy of the position information. Icon Description Blaupunkt Navigation has no connection to the GPS receiver: GPS navigation is not possible. Devices with a built-in GPS receiver are permanently connected.
4.1.8.2 Real-time traffic information (TMC Unlike statistical traffic information, TMC (Traffic Message Channel) can provide you with the real-time status of the traffic. Route calculation can avoid road blocks or unexpected traffic jams caused by an accident. TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting realtime traffic and weather information. Using traffic information is enabled by default in Blaupunkt Navigation. Note! TMC is not a global service.
Now tap any of the list items to see its details, and to display the affected road segment in its full length on the map: Note! 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 'More' menu The 'More' menu provides you with various options and additional applications. Tap the following buttons: , .
The Fuel consumption monitor helps you keep track of the consumption of your car even if you do not use navigation for all your journeys. Set the initial odometer value and then record the distance taken and fuel filled in whenever you fill your car. You can also set reminders for regular car maintenance. Tap this button to see the sunlit and dark areas of the world. Your current location and route points are marked on the map.
The content of the Quick menu (page 20) is fully customisable. Tap the button you want to change, and select its new function from the list. 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.
4.3.1 Sound and Warnings Adjust the sound volume, mute your device or change the voice guidance language. In addition, you can enable and set up different warnings and alerts. Button Description Tap this button to adjust the volume of the different sounds in the application. A new screen shows the different sound types and their controls. See below for details. This button shows the current voice guidance profile.
The application can warn you when you approach road safety cameras like speed cameras or dangerous areas like school zones or railroad crossings. Tap this button and set the different alert types individually. The following alert types are available: • Audio warning: beeps or the name of the alert type can be played while you are approaching the camera, or extra alert sounds if you exceed the speed limit while approaching one of these cameras.
Controls for each sound type: Button Volume slider Description Adjusts the volume of the related sound. Use the switch to mute the related sound. The slider becomes inactive. Tap again to re-enable. 4.3.2 Customise Quick menu The content of the Quick menu (page 20) is fully customisable. Tap the button you want to change, and select its new function from the list.

Tap this button for the list of available TMC service providers. 4.3.4 Route settings These settings determine how routes will be calculated. Button Description You can set the type of vehicle you will use to navigate the route. Based upon this setting, some of the road types can be excluded from the route, or some of the restrictions may not be taken into account in route calculation. The route calculation can be optimised for different situations and vehicle types by changing the planning method.
Vehicle types: • : • Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route. • Roads are used only if access for cars is allowed. • Private roads and resident-only roads are used only they are inevitable to reach the destination. • Walkways are excluded from routes. • : • All manoeuvres are available in intersections. • Directional constraints are taken into account the way that opposite direction is allowed with a low speed.
Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel consumption data given in Green Routing settings (page 78). Travel cost and CO2 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 Blaupunkt Navigation to take, for example, the motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets. 4.3.
4.3.6 Map settings You can fine-tune the appearance of the Map screen.

The map is always shown on the screen so that you can see the effect when you change a setting.
Select which Places to show on the map while navigating. Too many Places make the map crowded so it is a good idea too keep as few of them on the map as possible. For this, you have the possibility to save different Place visibility sets. You have the following possibilities: • Tap the checkbox to show or hide the Place category. • Tap the name of the Place category to open the list of its subcategories. • Tap to save the current Place visibility set or to load a previously saved one.

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.
