1 Getting started

Blaupunkt is optimised for in-car or pedestrian use. You can use it easily by tapping the screen buttons and the map with your fingertips.

When you start using the product, you can download new maps in the next.

1.1 Initial set-up

When using the navigation software for the first time, an initial set-up process starts automatically.

1. Select your preferred language, then tap to confirm your selection. Later you can change it in Regional settings (page 79).

2. Read the end-user licence agreement, and tap if you agree with the terms of use.

3. The Configuration Wizard starts. Tap to continue.

4. Select the language and speaker used for voice guidance messages. Later you can change it in Regional settings (page 74). Tap to continue.

5. If needed, modify the time format and unit settings. Later you can change them in Regional settings (page 79). Tap to continue.
6. If needed, modify the default route planning options. Later you can change them in Route Preferences (page 70). Tap to continue.
7. The initial set-up is now complete, tap to enter the Navigation view.

1.2 Screen controls

The following sections describe the functionality and use of buttons, sliders, and other screen controls in Blaupunkt .

1.2.1 Using the buttons and other controls

To operate Blaupunkt , tap the buttons on the touch screen.

\frac{(0.0)}{(0.0)}=0

The Navigation menu may contain several menu items on one or more pages.

You need to confirm selections or changes only if the application needs to be restarted, if it needs to perform a major reconfiguration, or if you are about to lose some of your data or settings. Otherwise, Blaupunkt saves your selections and applies the new settings without confirmation as soon as you use the controls.

1.2.2 Using the cursor

You can select a map location in the following ways:

• By tapping the map when navigating

• By tapping the map when you are asked to confirm the destination at the end of a search.

When a map location is selected, the cursor () appears at the selected point on the map.

The location of the cursor can be used as the destination of the route, you can search for Places around it, or you can add this location to your saved locations.

1.2.3 Using the keyboard

You can also select some of the objects on the map. If you tap the map at the icon of a Place, the object is selected, and you can get information about this object or you can use it as a route point.

You can type with your fingertips on the screen keyboards and you can switch between various keyboard layouts, for example English, Greek or numerical. Only those keyboard buttons are active that can be used to type a name that is available on the map. The other keys are greyed out.

1.2.4 Using touch gestures

You usually need to tap the screen only once. However, some useful features can be accessed with other gestures. See the table below.

1.2.5 Manipulating the map

If you tap the map anywhere during navigation, the map stops following the current position (the blue arrow is not locked in a fix position on the screen anymore) and control buttons appear to help you modify the map view.

You can perform the following actions on the map:

1.3 Navigation view

The navigation view is the main screen of Blaupunkt that shows the planned route on a map. Blaupunkt works with digital maps which are not simply the computerised versions of traditional paper maps. Similarly to paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps shows you streets and roads. Elevation is also illustrated in colour.

The navigation view displays the following screen buttons, data fields, and route information on the map during navigation:

Note! Some buttons, fields, or icons may not be available in your product version.

If you are approaching a motorway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. See page 18.

When entering a tunnel, the map is replaced with a generic tunnel image. See page 19.

1.3.1 Streets and roads

Blaupunkt shows the streets similarly to paper road maps. Their width and colours correspond to their importance; you can easily tell a motorway from a small street.

1.3.2 GPS position markers

When your GPS position is available, Blaupunkt marks your current position. By default, this marker is a blue arrow. The dot near the arrow shows the GPS position as perceived by the GPS receiver.

The exact location of the current position marker depends on the vehicle type used for route calculation and the navigation mode. Both can be set in Route preferences (page 70).

• If you choose pedestrian and/or off-road navigation, the position marker is at your exact GPS position. The direction of the icon shows your current heading.
• In all other cases, the position marker may not show your exact GPS position and heading. If roads are near, the GPS position is locked on the road and aligned to the nearest road to suppress GPS position errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of the road.

1.3.3 Turn preview and next street

When navigating a route, the top section of the Navigation view shows information about the next route event (manoeuvre) and the next street or the next town.

There is a field in the top left corner displaying the next manoeuvre. Both the type of the manoeuvre (turn, roundabout, exiting motorway, and so on) and its distance from the current position are displayed.

A smaller icon shows the type of the second next manoeuvre if it is near the first one. Otherwise, only the next manoeuvre is displayed. Tap the icon of the actual manoeuvre to open the Itinerary screen.

1.3.4 The planned route

The planned route is the currently navigated route. Whenever the destination is set, the route is active until you delete it, reach your destination or suspend navigation. Blaupunkt displays the route in the following ways:

1.3.5 Manoeuvre icons

During navigation the next manoeuvre is displayed in the top left corner. Most of the manoeuvre icons are intuitive. The following table lists some of the frequently shown route events:

Turn right. Turn back. Bear right. Turn sharp left. Keep left. Continue straight in the intersection. Enter the roundabout and take the first exit (next manoeuvre). Enter the roundabout (second next manoeuvre). Enter the motorway. Exit the motorway. Board the ferry. Leave the ferry. Approaching a waypoint on the right. Approaching the destination.

1.3.6 Lane information

When navigating on multi-lane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the planned route. If lane information is available in the map data, Blaupunkt displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lanes and the direction you need to take.

1.3.7 Signposts

If necessary information is available, Blaupunkt displays signposts at the top of the map. The colour and style of the signposts are similar to the real ones you can see above roads or by roadsides. They show the available destinations and the road numbers.

All signposts look similar when cruising (when there is no planned route). During navigation only the signpost that points to the lane(s) to be taken is highlighted; all the others are darker.

If you want to hide the currently displayed signposts, tap any of them and the normal Navigation view returns until new signpost information is received.

You can modify the signpost settings in

If you are approaching a motorway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. The lanes you need to take are displayed with arrows. At the top of the screen, road signs show you additional information. If you want to hide the currently displayed junction and return to the Navigation view, tap the picture.

1.3.8 Junction view

Junction view can be turned off in . See page 77.

1.3.9 Tunnel view

When entering a tunnel, the map is replaced with a generic tunnel image so that surface roads and buildings cannot distract you.

The top-down overview of the tunnel displayed in a separate window helps you orientate yourself. The remaining distance in the tunnel is also displayed. After leaving the tunnel, the original map view returns.

Tunnel view can be turned off in . See page 77.

1.3.10 Motorway services

When you are driving on a motorway, the button appears at the top right corner of the Navigation view. Tap it to open a panel with the details of the next few service stations (petrol stations, restaurants).

Tap any of them to display the exit area on the map. You can now easily add this service station as a waypoint to your route if necessary. If you want to display other types of Places at the next few service stations, you can change

the icons in . See page 77.

1.3.11 3D object types

Blaupunkt supports the following 3D object types:

Type Description

3D terrain Blaupunkt displays 3D hills and mountains in the Navigation view, and

illustrates them by colouring and shading on the 2D map.

Elevated roads

Elevated roads are complex intersections and vertically isolated roads

(such as overpasses or bridges) displayed in 3D.

3D landmarks Landmarks are 3D representations of prominent or well-known objects.

3D buildings

3D buildings are block representations of full town bu ilding data

containing actual building sizes and positions on the map.

1.3.12 Traffic events

Road segments affected by traffic events are displayed in a different colour on the map.

The following icons may appear at the top right corner of the screen:

Button Description

It is displayed when traffic events are not received.

It is displayed when traffic events are received but they do not affect the planned

route. It shows the type of the next traffic event with the expected delay.

It shows the type of the next traffic event if it does not cause any delay or the delay is not known.

For more information, see page 47.

1.4 Navigation menu

On the Navigation view, tap to open the Navigation menu.

You can see the following menu options when you are navigating without a planned route:

With a planned route, the following menu options are also available:

Button Function

Add an intermediate destination to your route.

See route alternatives to avoid parts of the route, or to avoid a specific

road from your planned route.

View the route in its full length on the map and check route parameters

and route alternatives. Tap to access additional options, like

Simulation orRoute Preferences.

Delete your route.

Delete the next waypoint or the whole route. It is displayed if there is a

multipoint route.

In the navigation menu, you have the following additional options:

Button Function

Open the Saved Locations screen where you can save a location as a favourite

destination or edit a saved location.

Set the volume or mute the navigation.

Switch to 2D (), 2D North up () view or back to 3D mode.

Suspend navigation.

Resume navigation.

Check those notifications that contain important information but do not require

immediateaction from the users. If there are no notifications, this icon is not

displayed. The Menu button appears when the Navigation view is displayed. Tap it to open the Navigation menu.

The More button appears on the screen to display additional features. Tap it to open the list of additional features on certain screens.

Tap the Back button to return to the previous screen. You can also press and hold this button to quickly return to the Navigation view from any other screen.

2 Warnings and safety information

The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS receiver. Blaupunkt does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.

It is important to look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you plan and review your route before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure and stop if you need to change the route.

You must follow the traffic rules. If you deviate from the planned route, Blaupunkt changes the instructions accordingly.

3 Using the navigation

By default, Blaupunkt calculates routes using the road network of the maps provided with the product. You can select the destination and start navigating to it right away (normal navigation) if you need a route for immediate navigation. You can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position even without GPS reception. To achieve this, you need to set a new starting point in the Multipoint Route menu. It also suspends guidance so that the route is not recalculated when a new position is received. See Page 49. You can plan routes with multiple destinations by selecting a first and a second destination and adding it to your route. You can add as many destinations to your route as you like. See Page 45. You can also use Blaupunkt for off-road navigation. See page 58.

3.1 Selecting a destination

You can choose your destination by selecting one of the following options:

• Using combined search to search among different destination types at once, see page 25
• Entering a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a house number, see page 28
• Selecting a Place as your destination, see page 33
• Selecting a previously saved location as your destination, see page 40
• Selecting a location from the History of previously used destinations, see page 41
• Selecting a previously saved route, see page 42
• Entering the coordinate of the destination, see page 43
• Selecting a location on the map, see page 44
• Planning a multipoint route, see page 45.

3.1.1 Using combined search

There are several ways to select your destination. You can initiate a separate search for addresses, Places, saved locations, or recent destinations, but the fastest way to search for any of these is to use combined search. Perform the following steps to use combined search:

1. Tap on the Navigation view to access the Navigation menu.
2. Tap .
3. Tap . You can see the input field at the top of the screen. Right next to it you can see the search area, the town around which the search is carried out.

The default search area is the area where you are located. For a local search, skip the next step.

4. (optional) To search in a different area, tap the input field with the search area, and start entering the name of the new search area on the keyboard. You only need to enter a few letters to get a result. The most likely result appears below the input field as you enter new letters.

a. If the new search area is in a different country, start entering the country and the town. It is usually enough to type the first few letters of the country or town and conventional abbreviations can also be used. b. Tap to see the whole list of the matching results. 5. With the proper search area displayed, start entering the name, address, or category of the destination you are looking for. 6. Tap to switch to the result screen. You can see all the results in the list, regardless of their type. Addresses, Places, Place categories, Saved locations, and recent destinations are mixed in one list. You can immediately select the result you want to use as your destination or narrow the list of results for only one type (for example, Places).

7. If necessary, tap on the right side of the list and then tap the corresponding button to narrow the list of search results by type (the number on the related icon shows the number of the matching results):

• Tap to see the list of recent destinations with a matching name or address.
• Tap to see the list of your saved locations with a matching name.
• Tap to see the list of matching addresses.
• Tap to see the list of matching Place category names. Scroll the list and select one of the categories. You get the list of Places in that category ordered by their distance from your current position.
• Tap to see the list of matching Places ordered by their distance from your current location.
• (optional) If your product contains Places from different data providers, you can further narrow the list by showing the results from one provider only. Look for the provider logos. Tap one of them to see Places from that provider. To search for an intersection in the combined search, enter the names of the streets connected by the '&' sign. You do not need to use spaces before and after the separator character. For example you can find the intersection of Collins Street and Douglas Avenue by entering strings, like "Collins St & Tip! Douglas Ave", "Collins & Douglas", "Col&Doug", etc. The more precise the input string is, the fewer false results are expected. If you enter "Collins St&", you get all the intersections of Collins Street and you can select the appropriate one from the result list.

8. Once the destination is selected, a full screen map appears with the selected point in the middle. If necessary, tap the map somewhere else to modify the destination. The cursor () appears in the new location.
9. Check the settings for road types and change them if necessary.
10. Tap to confirm the destination, or tap to select a different destination.

11. The route is calculated and the map appears showing the entire route, where you can check route information and route alternatives. Tap to modify the route parameters, or tap to start your journey.

3.1.2 Selecting an address

3.7 Off-road navigation

When first started, Blaupunkt calculates routes using the road network of the maps provided with the product. If you want to disregard roads during navigation, you can switch to off-road mode, for example when driving in a desert.

3.7.1 Switching to off-road navigation

To switch to off-road navigation, perform the following steps:

1. On the Navigation view, tap , , and .
2. Tap and select . Most of the procedures described for on-road navigation also apply to off-road navigation. However, there are some that are not available in this navigation mode. For example:

• You cannot open the itinerary as you have no manoeuvres just route points and straight lines between them.
• There are no route alternatives and route planning method.
• Vehicle settings are disabled.

3.7.2 Selecting the destination in off-road mode

Selecting a destination (waypoint or final destination) is the same as described in the previous sections. The only difference is that route points are linked to form a route with straight lines regardless of the road network and traffic regulations.

3.7.3 Navigating in off-road mode

The real difference between on-road and off-road modes is the navigation itself. When you are on the Navigation view with an off-road route:

• Your position and heading is not aligned to the nearest road.
• There is no turn-by-turn navigation, just a recommended direction.

You can see an orange line drawn between your current position and the next destination to reach. The Turn Preview field in the top left corner shows a compass with your bearing and the distance of the next destination.

When you reach the final destination, the navigation ends.

If you do not want to use off-road navigation, switch back to on-road navigation by Note! tapping and .

4 Reference guide

The following sections describe the different concepts and menu screens of Blaupunkt .

4.1 Concepts

The following sections describe and explain navigation-related concepts.

4.1.1 2D/3D GPS reception

The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and needs at least four signals to give a three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are moving and because objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four signals. If three satellites are available, the receiver can calculate the horizontal GPS position but the accuracy is lower and the GPS device does not give you elevation data; only 2D reception is possible.

Several factors have an impact on the deviation between your real position and the one given by the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting objects near the GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can calculate your position.

4.1.2 Natural and TTS voices

Natural voices are the traditional type of voice instructions. Every phrase that occurs in voice guidance messages is recorded in a studio with a real person. The advantage of pre-recorded voice is that it sounds really natural, but the range of instructions that can be given this way is limited. Location-specific information such as street names cannot be announced.

TTS technology provides a machine-generated way to give voice instructions. The advantage of TTS is that it can announce street names, traffic events, route summary, and traffic rules.

4.1.3 Alert Points

The following warning types are available:

• Audio warning: beeps are played (if the voice guidance language that you selected is a natural voice) or the type of the alert can be announced (TTS voice) while you are approaching one of these points, and an extra alert warns you if you exceed the given speed limit while approaching.

• Visual warning: the type of the Alert Point, its distance and the related speed limit appear on the Navigation view while you are approaching one of these locations. For some of the Alert Points, either the enforced or expected speed limit is available. For these points, the audio alert can be different if you are below or above the given speed limit.

• Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you exceed the given speed limit.

• When approaching: The audio alert is always played when approaching one of these Alert Points. In order to draw your attention, the alert is different when you exceed the speed limit.

4.1.4 Route calculation and recalculation

A route is a sequence of route events, that is, manoeuvres (for example, turns and roundabouts) to reach the destination. The route contains one starting point and one or more destinations. The starting point is the current (or last known) position by default. If you need to see a future route, the starting point can be replaced with any other given point. See page 49.

Once the destination has been selected, Blaupunkt calculates the route based on your preferences. These preferences are the route planning method, the vehicle type, and the road types used or avoided when calculating the route. For detailed information on all the preferences, see Route preferences settings, page 70.

Real-time traffic events are also taken into account, which sometimes greatly modify the route. See page 62.

Blaupunkt automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary.

If traffic services are enabled, Blaupunkt considers real-time dynamic traffic information in route calculation and may also recalculate the route if the traffic situation changes during navigation.

Intelligent data (captured historical speed information based on probe data) is used for optimal routing depending on the day of the week and time of day. Route segments where traffic flow is typically slow at the given time of day and day of the week are avoided if a suitable alternative can be found. When calculating the optimal route, the data relevant for the time of the estimated arrival of the vehicle at the given route point is taken into account. As a result, Blaupunkt may suggest a different route during the weekday rush hours, especially in major cities with frequent traffic jams. See page 62.

4.1.5 Smart Zoom

Smart Zoom provides the following features:

• While following a route: When approaching a turn, it zooms in and raises the view angle to let you easily recognise your next manoeuvre. If the next turn is at a distance, it zooms out and lowers the view angle to be flat so you can see the road in front of you.
• While driving without a planned route: Smart Zoom zooms in if you drive slowly and zooms out when you drive at a high speed.

4.1.6 Speed limit warning

Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. Blaupunkt is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not be available for your region, or may not be fully correct for all roads on the map.

The maximum speed set in the vehicle profile (page 70) is also used for this warning. Blaupunkt alerts you if you exceed the pre-set value even if the legal speed limit is higher.

Speed warning can be fine-tuned in Warnings. See page 76.

You can also set the relative speed tolerance above which the application initiates the warning. The following warning types are available:

• Audio warning: You receive a verbal warning when you exceed the speed limit with the given percentage.
• Visual warning: The current speed limit is shown on the map when you exceed it (for example ). You can also choose to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time.

4.1.7 Historical traffic

If statistical traffic information is stored with the map data, Blaupunkt can take them into account when planning a route. In normal cases, these statistics help you avoid usual traffic jams on the given day of week in the given hour but in some cases like on public holidays that fall on normal weekdays, they can be misleading. You can enable or disable this feature in Traffic settings. See page 80.

4.1.8 Real-time traffic

Real-time traffic information can provide you with the current status of the traffic. Route calculation can avoid road blocks or unexpected traffic jams caused by an accident. The following data sources are available:

• Online traffic: Online traffic can provide you with the real-time status of the traffic if an active Internet connection is available. The application automatically takes account of the traffic events received. You do not need to set anything in Blaupunkt . When Blaupunkt receives traffic information that may affect your route, it warns you that it is recalculating the route. The navigation continues with a new optimal route considering the most up-to-date traffic conditions. For information on traffic icons, see page 20. To fine-tune this service, you have the following options in Traffic settings (page 80):

• Set the minimum amount of time that you think is worth saving at the cost of a detour.

• Instruct Blaupunkt to have you confirm the new planned route before it takes effect.

If there are traffic events on the planned route that the application has not

Note!

bypassed, the icon opens the list of significant traffic events to let you quickly check them.

4.1.9 Intelligent navigation

With the help of intelligent navigation, the planned route can adapt to traffic and other changes during navigation. The following sections describe these features.

4.1.9.1 Congestion detour on highways

Blaupunkt may offer a detour when you slow down on a highway due to a traffic jam. The Potential congestion detour window appears and shows the length and duration of the detour.

4.3.1.2 Route Planning Method types

You can select from the following route planning method types:

Button Description

Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed limit on all roads. Usually, the best selection for fast and normalcars.

Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult manoeuvres. With

this option, you can make Blaupunkt take, for example, the motorway

instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.

Gives a short route to minimise the travel distance. Usually optimal for

pedestrians, cyclists or slow vehicles. Searching for a short route

regardless of the speed, this route type is rarely optimal for normal

vehicles.

Gives a quick but fuel -efficient route based on the fuel consumption

data. Travel cost and CO2 emission calculations are estimations only.

They cannot take elevations, curves and traffic conditions into

consideration.

For vehicle types where Green routing is not available, this method

combines the benefits of Fast and Short. Blaupunktcalculates as if it

were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads as well to save

fuel.

Note! Depending on the vehicle type, some methods may not be available.

4.3.1.3 Navigation Mode

Set the verbosity of the voice instructions, that is how much they tell and how often they speak.

• Minimal: the voice instruction is given once right before the next manoeuvre.
• Medium: the voice instruction is given when approaching the next manoeuvre and it is repeated right before the manoeuvre.
• Verbose: the voice instruction is given first relatively far from the next manoeuvre, it is repeated when approaching the next turn, and it is repeated again right before the actual manoeuvre. Allow reading out a quick summary of the route whenever a route is calculated.

Allow reading out information about the country you have entered, when you cross country borders.

Allow reading out real-time traffic messages.

Allow announcing system messages.

4.3.3 Warnings settings

You can enable and modify the following settings:

If this setting is on, you will be asked to confirm the general attention message shown at startup only once. This does not affect the specific warnings that you can set up on this screen.

4.3.4 Navigation View settings

These settings allow you to fine-tune the appearance of the Navigation view. You can also adjust how the software helps you navigate with different kinds of route-related information on the Navigation view.

Tap to adjust the navigation view to your needs, choose suitable colour themes from the list for both daytime and nighttime use, show or hide 3D buildings, landmarks, and manage your Place visibility sets (which Places to show on the map).

You can modify the following settings:

Button Function

Adjust the basic zoom and tilt levels to your needs. Three levels are

available.

Switch between daytime and night colour modes or let the software

switch between the two modes automatically a few minutes before

sunrise and a few minutes after sunset.

Select the colour scheme used in daytime mode. Daytime colours are

bright and similar to paper road maps.

Select the colour scheme used in night mode. Night colours are darker

to keep the average brightness of the screen low.

Show or hide 3D landmarks (3D representations of prominent or well-

known objects).

Show or hide 3D city models (3D block representation of full city

building data containing actual building size and position onthe map).

Show or hide the 3D elevation of the terrain.

Turn on Track Logs to show them on the map or turn them off.

Select which Places to show on the map while navigating. Too many Places make the map crowded so it is a good idea to keep as few of them on the map as possible. Tap the name of the Place category to show/hide it or to open the list of its subcategories.

You can modify the following additional settings on the Navigation View screen:

If you are navigating with a planned route, you can set three data fields to be displayed on the Navigation view. You can choose from the time of arrival at destination, distance to destination, time to destination, time of arrival at waypoint, distance to waypoint, time to waypoint, heading, or altitude. Without a planned route, there is only one data field that can be set to show the heading or the altitude.

Turn the Route Progress Bar on or off. If turned on, an orange line is displayed on the side of the screen, and a blue arrow on it shows your progress.

Turn it on to get motorway service information (for example petrol stations, restaurants) or turn it off if you do not need it.

Select the service types displayed for the motorway exits. Choose from the Places categories.

Zoom out and show an overview of the surrounding area if the next manoeuvre is far and you are driving on a motorway. When you get close to the event, the normal map view returns.

Whenever adequate information is available, lane information similar to the real ones on road signs above the road is displayed at the top of the map. Tap it to turn this feature on or off.

If you are approaching a motorway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. Tap it to turn this feature on or let the map be displayed for the whole route.

When entering tunnels, the surface roads and buildings can be disturbing. Tap it to show a generic picture of a tunnel instead of the map. A top-down overview of the tunnel and the remaining distance are also displayed.

In certain situations, Blaupunkt offers a detour when there is a traffic jam on a highway. See page 63.

In certain situations, Blaupunkt offers an alternative route when there is a traffic jam on the road. See page 64.

In certain situations, Blaupunkt offers parking Places when you approach your destination. See page 64.

In certain situations, Blaupunkt offers different route alternatives when you leave the planned route and suddenly exit the motorway. See page 64.

4.3.5 Regional settings

You can modify the following settings:

Button Description

It displays the current written language of the user interface. Tap it to

select a new language from the list of available languages. The

application restarts after you change this setting and confirm it.

It shows the current voice guidance profile. Tap it to select a new

profile from the list of available languages and speakers. Tap any of

these to hear a sample voice prompt. Just tap when you have

selected the new spoken language.

Different voice profiles are capable of different levels of service:

• Natural Voice (street names not announced): These pre- recorded sounds can only tell you basic information about turns and distances.
• TTS Voice (street names announced): These computed voices can read out complex instructions, street names or system messages. You can set the measurement units and time/date format to be used. Blaupunkt may not support all the listed units in some voice guidance languages.

By default, the time zone is taken from the map information and adjusted by your current location. Here you can manually set the time zone and the daylight saving time.

5 Troubleshooting

This section offers possible solutions to issues that may occur during the operation of Blaupunkt .

5.1 GPS signal cannot be received

Issue: The current location is not available, because GPS signal cannot be received.

Cause 1: GPS signal is weak or may not be available if you are between tall buildings, in garages or tunnels as the signal weakens or distorts as it travels through solid material.

Solution 1: Go to a place where there is a clear sight of the sky or at least a bigger part of the sky is visible.

Cause 2: It may take several minutes to receive GPS signals when first using Blaupunkt , or when your last known position is farther away from your current position.

Solution 2: Wait a few minutes for the GPS signal.

5.2 Address cannot be found

Issue: Blaupunkt cannot find the address you entered.

Cause: The digital map data may not include every single address.

Solution 1: If the house number is not known or Blaupunkt cannot find it, select only the street name. This way, Blaupunkt will navigate you to the midpoint of the street, where you can find the exact address more easily.

Solution 2: Search for another address that is close to the destination.

5.3 The calculated route is not optimal

Cause: In
the optimal parameter.

Issue: The planned route is too long or includes several minor roads.

Settings

Solution 3: Search for the coordinates or a nearby Place of Interest.

Route Preferences

the route planning method is not set to

the optimal parameter.

Solution: Select your preferred route planning method by performing the following steps:

1. Tap

Settings

, and

2. Tap and select your preferred route, for example

or . See Page 72.

5.4 Disabling the speed limit warning

Issue: The speed limit warning is signalling even when the actual speed limit is kept.

Cause: The speed limit in the digital map data might differ from the actual speed limit of your current location. Solution: Disable the speed warning by performing the following steps:

1. Tap , , and . .
2. Tap , and .

5.5 Keyboard buttons are greyed out

Issue: Some keyboard buttons are greyed out and cannot be used.

Cause: Blaupunkt has a smart keyboard for address search, which means that only those buttons are active that can be used to type a name that is available on the map. Solution: Check if you entered the name correctly. If the name is correct, then the address you are looking for is not available in the digital map data.

5.6 The map is hidden behind an image of a junction

Issue: The map is not visible because it is hidden behind an image of a junction.

Cause: If you are approaching a motorway exit or a complex intersection and the needed

information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. The lanes you need to take are displayed with arrows. Solution: If you want to hide the currently displayed junction and return to the Navigation view, tap the picture. To turn off this feature, perform the following steps:

1. Tap , , and .
2. Tap . Now the junction view will not appear again.
