INTRODUCTION NAVIGATION RADIO CD / MP3 CD CHANGER SETUP APPENDIX
Glossary
Corridor function
The corridor function allows the TravelPilot to provide driving
instructions even when the navigation CD is not present in the
drive. This applies to normal navigation as well as to dynamic
navigation.
Surrounding area function
The TravelPilot uses the available memory to load data from the
navigation CD regardless of whether a navigation session is
currently active or not. These data always relate to the current
position of the vehicle. The system keeps updating this data for
as long as the navigation CD is present in the drive. The TravelPilot
looks up these stored data when you begin entering a destination.
This means that you can enter a destination even without the CD
being present in the drive if the area in which the destination is
located is covered by the data stored in memory. If the destination
is not covered by this data, the system will ask you to insert the
navigation CD.
Optimum route
The calculated route is a combination of a fast route and a short
route. The TravelPilot allows you to adjust the relationship between
the short and fast route (see “Configuring the optimum route” in
the “Setup – basic settings” chapter).
TMC - Traffic Message Channel
TMC is an RDS data service that provides regional traffic news.
New traffic reports can be updated without delay.
The TravelPilot is capable of continuously receiving digital traffic
reports free of charge from TMC stations.
GPS - Global Positioning System
This system allows you to determine your position anywhere in
the world be it on land, on water or in the air. The 25 satellites
that are currently in service in orbit at an altitude of 12,500 miles
(20,000 km) make this positioning possible. The system must be
receiving signals from at least 5 satellites in order to provide pre-
cise positioning.
Standby time
To shorten the start-up time of the device’s software, the
TravelPilot is configured with a fixed standby time of 30 minutes
after being switched off. If it is switched on again during this time
period, the device will be ready for full operation within a few
seconds.
