The hotline number is listed on the last page of these instructions. 8 How navigation works Your TravelPilot DX-V uses GPS, a satellite-supported locating system, to determine the current position of the vehicle. GPS stands for Global Positioning System, a system which can be used to reliably determine your location anywhere in the world. A "gyroscope" and the electronic speedometer signal are also used to track the vehicle's movements. The TravelPilot DX-V navigation system compares this data with the data stored in digital form on the navigation CD-ROM and uses it to calculate the routes in route guidance. If the TravelPilot DX-V is connected to a TMC source ("TMC D-Namic tuner box" or appropriately equipped car radio), it will be able to take the current traffic situation into account when calculating the route. For more information on TMC, please refer to the section on "Dynamic Route Guidance with TMC".

As a result, you can alter your route quickly on the basis of the traffic situation (e.g. road works, closed sections of road, etc.). The TravelPilot DX-V will then calculate a new route to bypass the traffic congestion.

Route guidance will appear, you will hear the following voice output: "The route is being calculated." 38 Dynamic route guidance with TMC The TMC function on the TravelPilot DX-V enables the system to use dynamic route guidance (currently only in Germany and in the Netherlands) to avoid traffic congestion. The TravelPilot DX-V analyses incoming TMC traffic messages, adapts the planned route to the current traffic situation, and displays traffic reports symbolically on the map display. Plus Point: The TravelPilot DX-V always calculates the optimum route in terms of travelling time; i.e. if a detour around traffic congestion increases travelling time significantly, the TravelPilot DX-V would remain on the route passing through the traffic congestion under certain conditions. This depends on what kind of traffic congestion has been reported and how long it is and on how long the possible detour is. Dynamic route guidance is only possible when the TravelPilot DX-V is connected to a TMC receiver. TMC receivers include the "TMC D-Namic tuner box", which was specially developed for the TravelPilot DX-V, and a number of Blaupunkt car radios. Please contact your authorized Blaupunkt dealer or ring the Blaupunkt telephone hotline (the hotline number is listed on the last page of this instruction manual) to find out which Blaupunkt car radios can be used in conjunction with the TravelPilot DX-V. Plus Point: If you have neither a "TMC D-Namic tuner box" nor a suitable Blaupunkt car radio, you can still enter traffic congestion detours manually. For more information, refer to the section on "Route guidance", "Using the traffic congestion function". 39 Allgemeines Kurzanlei- Zieleingabe Touren Zielspeicher Einstellun- Anhang Dynamic route guidance with TMC Switching TMC on/off The TMC function is switched on or off in the Route options menu. For more information, refer to the section on "Selecting route options". Note If the TMC function is switched on, the options for "Fast route", "Motorway", "Ferry" and "Toll" will be selected automatically in the menu. If you switch off one of these options, the TMC function will switch off automatically as well. 40 Selecting the TMC station with the TMC D-Namic tuner box The "TMC D-Namic tuner box" automatically searches the frequency band in the background for TMC stations within reception range. The TMC stations within reception range appear in a list which is updated continually. You can select a TMC station from this list. 1. 2. Press ! on the remote control unit. The "Congestion" menu will appear. Select "TMC station list". Press OK . The TMC station list will appear. Note If there are no TMC stations available, you will hear a beep. 3. Select the TMC station. Press OK . The "Congestion" menu will appear. The TMC station currently selected will be displayed next to the menu item. Plus Point: The "TMC D-Namic tuner box" will automatically tune into the TMC station you have selected (preferred station). This means that after you leave the reception area served by your preferred station (the system will tune into a different TMC station) and return to this reception area again later, this is the station that will be selected even if other TMC stations are Dynamic route guidance with TMC available. This intelligent switching function means that the station indication may change frequently in the reception area as well. This ensures that you always receive all of the traffic information which is transmitted by the TMC stations within reception range. Selecting the TMC station with the car radio A TMC-enabled car radio is able to provide traffic information to the TravelPilot DX-V. 1. 2. Press ! on the remote control. The "Congestion" menu will appear. Select "TMC search". Press OK . The TMC seek tuning function for the car radio will begin. The seek tuning function will stop at the first TMC station within reception range and the station name will appear next to the menu item. If you would like to select a different station, start TMC seek tuning again. Note If, during route guidance, you tune into a station on the car radio which does not transmit TMC data or if you leave the reception area of the TMC station, dashes will appear in the display in place of the station name. In this case it will not be possible to receive traffic information. If you want to receive traffic information, it will be necessary to start TMC seek tuning for the TravelPilot DX-V again. 3. 41 Allgemeines Kurzanlei- Zieleingabe Touren Zielspeicher Einstellun- Anhang Dynamic route guidance with TMC Calculating the route with TMC while route guidance is in progress The traffic messages are transmitted by TMC stations along with their regular programming. If a traffic message affects the route calculated, then a new route to the selected destination will be calculated automatically. You will hear the following voice output: "The route is being calculated taking traffic reports into account". Note The TravelPilot DX-V always calculates a time-optimized route. This means that if the reported traffic problem were to involve too long a detour, the TravelPilot may decide not to calculate a diversion at all and instead lead you through the traffic. This behaviour depends on the length and type of traffic problem and the length of the possible detour. 42 Displaying traffic messages Displaying on the map The received traffic messages are displayed on the map using different symbols and a dashed line. If the traffic obstruction lies along the route calculated by the navigation system, the traffic congestion symbol is displayed with a blue border. The following traffic congestion symbols can be displayed on the map: slow traffic traffic congestion totally blocked Dynamic route guidance with TMC Note The traffic congestion symbols and the dashed line are displayed in red on the map if they are not relevant to the route (e.g. if on the opposite carriageway or alongside the route).
