You can also use the TMC data received by a Blaupunkt car radio. To find out which
Blaupunkt car radios are equipped to receive TMC data and relay this information to
the TravelPilot DX-V, please contact your Blaupunkt specialist dealer or ring the Blau-
punkt telephone hotline. The hotline number is listed on the last page of these instruc-
tions.
How navigation works
Your TravelPilot DX-V uses GPS, a satellite-supported locating system, to determine
the current position of the vehicle. GPS stands for Global Positioning System, a sys-
tem which can be used to reliably determine your location anywhere in the world. A
“gyroscope” and the electronic speedometer signal are also used to track the vehi-
cle’s movements. The TravelPilot DX-V navigation system compares this data with
the data stored in digital form on the navigation CD-ROM and uses it to calculate the
routes in route guidance.
If the TravelPilot DX-V is connected to a TMC source (“TMC D-Namic tuner box” or
appropriately equipped car radio), it will be able to take the current traffic situation into
account when calculating the route. For more information on TMC, please refer to the
section on “Dynamic Route Guidance with TMC”.
Switching the unit on
If the TravelPilot DX-V has been properly connected to the vehicle ignition and contin-
uous plus, the TravelPilot DX-V will switch on automatically when you start your vehi-
cle.
