> you request the current position of your vehicle, but do not receive a precise dis- play? The system is unable to receive enough GPS signals at your current position due to obstructions, your position is not yet avail- able on your navigation DVD, or the system is in the process of calculating your posi- tion. Reception is best when you have an unobstructed view to the sky.

> the destination guidance does not accept
an address without the street name? On the navigation DVD, no downtown area can be determined for the city or town entered. Enter any street, or a destination such as the railway station in the selected town, and then start the destination guid- ance.
> you want to enter a destination for the des-
tination guidance, but it is not possible to select the letters for your desired entry? The data of the destination is not stored on the navigation DVD that is loaded. In this case, the system will not offer you any let- ters to choose from. Select a destination that is as close as possible to the original.
