AM Amplitude modulation. Also: MV (medium wave). Electromagnetic waves in the

frequency range between 531 and 1602 kHz. Waveband for transmitting radio.

Dynamic route guidance is made possible with TMC. The radio system receives

TMC traffic messages and checks the traffic situation. If the traffic flow, the length of

traffic queues and speed limit make an alternative stretch of road preferable, then the

device automatically recalculates the route outline and leads you safely around the

traffic congestion to the destination.

FM Frequency modulation. Also: USW (Ultra Short Wave). Electromagnetic waves in

the frequency range between 87.5 and 108.0 MHz. Waveband with less sensitivity to

interference for transmitting radio.

GPS Global Positioning System. Enables global navigation and positioning by means

of satellite positioning.

Joliet is a file system with specific requirements for file names and search paths.

LW Long wave. Electromagnetic waves within the frequency range between 148.5

and 283.5 kHz. Primarily for broadcasting national radio programmes across national

borders.

MP3 MP3 is a method for compressing audio data on CD discs developed by

German Fraunhofer Institute. Depending on the compression rate, the data amount is

reduced more or less significantly. This results in a barely audible quality loss.

POI (Point of Interest/POI): Special navigation destinations, such as petrol stations,

railway stations, airports, restaurants and shopping centres. The position of POIs and

any additional information are provided by the navigation software.

Romeo is a file system with specific requirements for file names and search paths.

RDS Radio Data System. A service provided by the radio stations. In addition to the

usual elements of music and speech, additional information in the form of encoded

digital signals is also transmitted. These are not audible, but are received and

decoded by the radio to then be shown as text on the screen. In this way you are

given the name of the radio station, news summaries, advertising, programme-

related information, for example, as well as other supplementary information from the

radio station.
