Word-matching principle The system's word-matching principle makes it easier to enter the names of towns or streets. The system runs ongoing checks, comparing your destination entries with the data stored in the vehicle as the basis for instant response. The user benefits include: > Town/city names can also be entered differ-
ently from the official names if you use a form that is customary in other countries. 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 offers only those letters for
selection of name entries that are stored in the vehicle. The system will not accept non existent names and addresses.

Traffic information
Overview In many congested areas, you can receive traffic information that is transmitted by radio stations. The traffic conditions are monitored by traffic control centers and the traffic information is updated periodically. During route guidance, the traffic information relevant to the route you are planning to take is automatically shown and taken into account in route planning. Irrespective of whether route guidance is active, you can have the traffic infor- mation displayed in the map display or as an event list.
The symbol in the toolbar of the map view turns red if traffic information relates to the cal- culated route.
