Cross-border guidance

Owing to the high data volume, the European navigation data is stored on several CD ROMs (map CDs). In order to nevertheless achieve cross-border guidance, the most important European cities and roads (Major Roads Europe) are additionally stored on the map CDs at present. In order to enable cross-border navigation, the C-IQ content must be activated for the destination and transit countries. Alternatively, route planning can be performed without activation of this feature if the route is covered by the connecting road network (Major Roads Europe). In this case, no visual and audible guidance is available after crossing the border into a deactivated country.

For continuous cross-border guidance, it is imperative that the relevant C-IQ content is activated.

The following alternative input methods requiring the map data from two or more map CDs are available for activating route planning:

Alternative 1:

Insert the map CD for the destination country. Start route planning and follow the directional arrow displayed to the next digitised road. As soon as you have reached the connecting road network, the directional arrow disappears and visual and audible guidance begins.

Alternative 2:

Insert the map CD for your current location. Start route planning. Owing to the data volume, you can only enter a destination which is covered by the connecting road network. When approaching the destination, insert the map CD for the destination country. Then enter details of the destination and start route planning again.

Please note that the connecting road network is used exclusively for route planning when the navigation CD of the actual location is not inserted.

Alternative 3:

Plan your travel route to a desired border crossing using the navigation CD ROM for your current location. After crossing the border, insert the map CD of your current location and start route planning to your destination or to the next border crossing.
