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 it when first using the application, Blaupunkt Navigation 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.
2 Getting started Blaupunkt Navigation is optimised for in-car use. You can use it easily by tapping the screen buttons and the map with your fingertips. When using the navigation software for the first time, an initial setup process starts automatically. Do as follows: 1. Select the written language of the application interface. Later you can change it in Regional settings (page 84). 2. Read the End User Licence Agreement. Tap 3. The Configuration wizard starts. Tap 4.
7. The initial setup is now complete. The Configuration wizard can be restarted later from the Settings menu (page 73). 8. You are now asked whether you allow the software to collect usage information and GPS logs that may be used for improving the application and the quality and coverage of maps. Tap to allow the anonymous statistics or disable this function. Later you can turn them on or off individually in Log collection settings (page 85).

2.2 Map screen 2.2.1 Navigating on the map The Map screen is the most frequently used screen of Blaupunkt Navigation. A small live map is displayed on the Navigation menu, as a part of the button. To enlarge this small map and open the Map screen, tap . This map shows the current position (the Vehimarker, a blue arrow by default), the recommended route (an blue line), and the surrounding map area. When there is no GPS position, the Vehimarker is transparent. It shows your last known position.
Tap any of the data fields to suppress others and display only the selected one. The data fields are different when you are navigating an active route and when you have no specified destination (the blue line is not displayed). Default data fields when cruising without a destination (tap and hold any of the fields to change its value): Field Description Shows your current speed given by the GPS receiver. Shows the speed limit of the current road if the map contains it.
2.2.2 Position markers 2.2.2.1 Vehimarker and Lock-on-Road When your GPS position is available, Blaupunkt Navigation marks your current position with the Vehimarker. By default, this marker is a blue arrow, but you can change this icon in Settings. When on-road navigation is selected, the Vehimarker may not show your exact GPS position and heading. If roads are near, it is aligned to the nearest road to suppress GPS position errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of the road.
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, Blaupunkt Navigation displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lanes you need to take. Where additional information is available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are displayed at the top of the map.
Tap any of them to display it on the map and add it as a waypoint to your route if needed. If you want to display other types of Places for the exits, you can change the icons in Visual Guidance settings (page 83). 2.2.3.6 3D object types Blaupunkt Navigation supports the following 3D object types: Type Description 3D terrain 3D terrain map data shows changes in terrain, elevations or depressions in the land when you view the map in 2D, and use it to plot the route map in 3D when you navigate.
Streets and roads that are You can choose whether you want to use or excluded from the navigation avoid certain road types (page 78). However, when Blaupunkt Navigation cannot avoid such roads, the route will include them and it will show them in a colour that is different from the route colour. Streets and roads that are affected by traffic events Road segments may be affected by traffic events received.

6 Reference Guide On the following pages you will find the description of the different concepts and menu screens of Blaupunkt Navigation. 6.1 Concepts 6.1.1 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 Blaupunkt Navigation to take, for example, the motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets. Vehicle types: When creating a new vehicle profile, select one of the below vehicle types.
• • Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes. • U-turns are excluded from routes (turning back on a divided road is not considered as a U-turn). • Dimension, weight and freight hazard restrictions are also taken into account when planning a route. Road types used or avoided in route calculation: • • • • • Whenever data exist, route calculation takes into account statistical traffic data for the given day of week and time of day (page 70).
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. 6.1.
6.1.6 Speed limit warning Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. Blaupunkt Navigation 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 74). You can set the relative speed above which the application initiates the warning.
6.1.8 Traffic information in route planning The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Offline statistical traffic information (historical speed information or traffic patterns) can be taken into account in the route calculation based on the time of day and the day of week whenever suitable data exists. In addition, real-time traffic information can help you avoid current traffic events like temporary road closures or a traffic jam caused by an accident.
If public Traffic data is broadcast at your location, Blaupunkt Navigation automatically takes into account the traffic events received. You do not need to set anything in the program. The receiver will automatically search the FM radio stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will immediately be used in route planning.
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. 6.2 'More' menu The 'More' menu provides you with various options and additional applications. Tap the following buttons: , . Button Description You can configure the program settings, and modify the behaviour of Blaupunkt Navigation.
Select a country from the list and see useful driving information about the selected country.

The list of available functions and their descriptions are on page 19. 6.3.
6.3.5 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 historical traffic data and traffic patterns. This locally stored information can be very useful in normal circumstances but for example on public holidays it may be better to turn off in order not to take into account normal weekday traffic jams.
To let the route fit your needs, you can also set which road types are to be considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible. Excluding a road type is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some of the excluded road types, they will be used but only as much as necessary.
Button Description Tap this button to rename the profile for something meaningful. Enter the average consumption of your vehicle when used in built-up areas. The unit for consumption can be set in Regional Settings. Enter the average consumption of your vehicle when used on highways. The unit for consumption can be set in Regional Settings.

Gives a quick but fuel efficient route based on the fuel consumption data given in Route 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. 6.3.

If you need these logs later, you can let the application save them automatically for you. This is not a button.
7 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 Blaupunkt Navigation to warn you when you approach one of these cameras. Detecting the location of Road Safety Cameras is prohibited in certain countries.
