System functions

- Introduction

The navigation computer DVD represents a further-development
of the MK-3 computer. The computing capacity and memory
module of the navigation computer DVD have been expanded.
The previous functions of the MK-3 computer have been fully
adopted. Only the new or modified functions are outlined in the
following section.
The following functions are new:

- Additional destination inputs

- More accurate calculation of arrival time

- Improved direction
- Improved map presentation on the CID
- New map presentations
- Digitized road maps on DVD
- Additional destination inputs
The following new destination inputs are possible:
- Direct input of border crossing points
- Address book extended from 20 to 100 entries
- Storage of the last destinations extended from 10 to 20
- More accurate calculation of arrival time
By including traffic information (TMC), e.g. in the event of a
traffic queue ahead, an alternative route is calculated and
displayed.
The expected time of arrival is calculated more accurately by
including the average vehicle speed corresponding to the type
of road.
For this purpose, the average speed of the last 7 minutes is
stored corresponding to the type of road (motorway, major trunk
road, district road). Based on the selected route, the computer
calculates the share of different types of road and the deter-
mined average speed so it can calculate the arrival time more
accurately.
