Navigation - Opel CD 70 NAVI Bedienungsanleitung

Navigation

The navigation system will lead you
reliably and safely without tedious map
reading to your desired destination.
Using dynamic guidance, the current
traffic situation will be taken into account
when calculating the route, if required. For
this purpose, the Infotainment System
receives the traffic reports of the current
reception area via RDS TMC.
However, the navigation system is not able
to take into account the relevant traffic
situation, temporary changes to traffic
regulations and any hazards or
obstructions (e.g. roadworks) which
may occur.
92
G The use of the navigation system
does not release the driver from his
responsibility for proper and prudent
behaviour on the road. The Highway
Code must always be observed. If the
guidance information contradicts the
traffic regulations, the traffic
regulations always take precedence.
For further information, see page 69.
The navigation system of the Infotainment
System enables you to be guided to your
destination even without knowing the local
area.
Functioning of the navigation system
The position and movements of the vehicle
are recorded by the navigation system via
sensors. The distance travelled is
determined by the vehicle speedometer
signal, rotary motion in curves is detected
by a gyro sensor (inertial compass). The
position is determined via the GPS
(Global Positioning System) satellites.
The position can be calculated within a
range of approx. 10 m by comparing the
sensor signals with the digital map on the
navigation CD.
Important notes on the function of the
navigation system
In principle, the system is functional with
poor GPS reception, although the accuracy
of the positioning may be impaired by poor
or interrupted GPS reception or errors can
occur in the determination of the position,
which result in incorrect position reporting.
Poor GPS reception is indicated by the
crossed out GPS symbol in the main
display.
After the destination address or a specific
destination (next petrol station, hotel, etc.)
has been entered, the route from the
current location to the selected destination
is calculated.
Guidance will take place using voice output
and by a directional arrow, with the aid of a
coloured map display 3 or a combination of
both displays.
Voice output and the directional arrow on
the display recommend the next change in
travel direction.
