The road type is taken into account, e.g. whether it is a highway or a winding road. The road types are stored on the navigation DVD.

Word matching principle The system supports the word matching princi- ple to make it easier for you to enter the names of streets or towns/cities. The system runs ongoing checks, comparing your destination entries with the data stored on the navigation DVD as the basis for instant response. The user benefits include: > Names of specific locations can also vary from the official versions if you are using a spelling that is customary in another coun- try. Example: Instead of "München", you can also enter the English spelling "Munich" or the Italian spelling "Monaco".
> When you are entering the names of towns/ cities and streets the system will complete them automatically as soon as enough let- ters are available to ensure unambiguous identification.
> The system only accepts name entries
beginning with letters that are stored on the navigation DVD. The system will not accept non existent names and addresses.
