The type of road is taken into account, e.g. whether it is a highway or a winding road. The road types are stored on the navigation DVD. As a result, the routes recommended by the navi- gation system may not always be the same ones that you would choose based on personal experience.

Word-matching principle The system's word-matching principle makes it easier for you to enter the names of towns or streets. The system runs ongoing checks, com- paring your destination entries with the data stored on the navigation DVD as the basis for instant response. The benefits for you include: > Names of towns entered may differ from the
official versions if you are using a spelling that is customary in another country. Example: Instead of the German spelling "München" you can also enter the English spelling "Munich" or the Italian spelling "Monaco". > When you are entering the names of towns and streets the system will complete them automatically as soon as enough letters are available to ensure unambiguous identifica- tion.
> The system offers only those letters for
selection of name entries that are stored on the navigation DVD. Thus, entry of errone- ous or unregistered names is impossible.
