INTRODUCTION
NAVIGATION
Glossary
Corridor function
The corridor function allows the TravelPilot E 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 E 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 Travel-
Pilot E 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 relationship between these two types of route is deter-
mined by the software of the TravelPilot E and cannot be changed.

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 E 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 Travel-
Pilot E 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.
