Live Services

If your device is connected to a smartphone and can use its Internet
connection (tethering), you will have access at all times to the current
online services of the Live Services:
Weather service: You are informed about the current weather
►
situation for every point of the road network on the navigation maps
available. A weather forecast for the next few days is also provided.
Local search: If you are searching for a particular category of
►
destination, e.g. a Thai restaurant, you can use the Local search
service. You then have access to the recommendations and ratings
of millions of people world-wide.
Traffic Live: You can now receive traffic information from the Live
►
server. One of the server's functions is to evaluate anonymously
collected floating car data from the many users of Live services. As
the result, traffic jams can be detected and avoided more quickly
and more reliably. The evaluation of floating car data also helps to
calculate the estimated time of arrival more exactly.

Data traffic costs

Use of the Live services causes data traffic. Connecting to the Internet
and downloading the data incurs costs. For details of the charges
involved ask your mobile telecom provider.
Average use of the Live services with a yearly mileage of approx.
20,000 km (12,500 mi) is likely to cause approx. 5 MB of data traffic per
month.
Note: We recommend a mobile phone account with a data flatrate.
