Introduction
General information
The current vehicle position is determined by means of the GPS satellite
system (Global Positioning System). Sensors in the vehicle measure distan-
ces that have been driven. All measurements are compared to the detailed
map information and the road traffic routing stored on the navigation data
medium. If required, TMC traffic reports are taken into account in the route
calculation ⇒ p age 94. The navigation system uses these data to deter-
mine an optimal route to the destination.
The unit has a navigation data memory. According to your country, the re-
quired navigation data is pre-installed or supplied on a DVD with the unit.
The destination is defined by entering an address or a point of interest, e.g.
a petrol station or hotel.
Navigation announcements and visual guidance on the navigation system
and the instrument cluster direct you to your destination ⇒ p age 89.
Depending on the country, some radio-navigation system functions can no
longer be selected when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed. This
is not a malfunction, but simply a legal requirement.
Navigation data memory
The unit is equipped with a navigation data memory. Depending on the
country, the required navigation data are either pre-installed or supplied
with the unit on DVD.
You should generally navigate with the navigation data memory in the unit,
in order to allow all navigation functions to be used quickly and efficiently.
To do so, copy the navigation data you need to the navigation data memory
⇒ p age 59.
There are different generations of units in use in SEAT vehicles. The naviga-
tion data memories for the different units are not interchangeable.
The navigation system always requires the navigation data that is currently
valid for this unit in order to allow all functions to be used in full. Using an
old version of the navigation data may lead to malfunctions during naviga-
tion. For information please contact a SEAT dealership.

Note
Dirty or damaged navigation data media may lead to problems in the copy-
ing of navigation data and use of the navigation function. Data media
should always be stored in a suitable rack or in the original case when not
in use. Protect data media from physical damage, heat, moisture and direct
sunlight.
Note
Removing a data medium while it is being used for navigation cancels the
active navigation.
