is determined by vehicle speed, a gyro sensor registers the turning manoeuvres, and
the position is determined by the GPS satellites (Global Positioning System).
By comparing the sensor signals with the digital maps on the SD card, it is possible
to determine the position with an accuracy of approx. 10 metres. The system even
works with poor GPS reception, but then the position calculations are not as
accurate. When the address of the destination or waypoint (e.g. next petrol station,
hotel, etc.) is entered then the distance from the current position to the selected
destination is calculated.
Navigation is provided by voice guidance and a direction arrow on the multi-colour map.
TMC traffic information system and dynamic
navigation
The TMC traffic information system receives current traffic messages from TMC radio
stations. The TMC traffic information is shown on the map as symbols or text in the
TRAFFIC INFO menu.
If the dynamic navigation system is activated then the traffic information is included in
route calculation. During this process the route outline is planned so that traffic
problems related to preselected criteria are avoided.
If a traffic problem occurs during active guidance then a message is shown to the
effect that the route outline should be changed.
In order to be able to use TMC traffic information the system must be able to receive
TMC stations in the relevant region.
The dynamic navigation only works if the TMC traffic information system receives
traffic messages.
Map data
Map data is stored on an SD card that is supplied together with the system.
Note
Map data for other regions are available for purchase from Scanias dealers.
Vehicle specifics
Traffic safety
Make sure you enter or set the current vehicle specifics in the system before
using the navigation system.
During route calculation the navigation system takes vehicle specifics into
account in order to avoid inappropriate or dangerous sections of road.
You can save the specifics for different vehicle configurations (e.g. with and without
