Compass display
In compass display, your current position is shown in relation to the four cardinal points, North be-
ing labelled in colour for better orientation. In addition, your current position is stated with longitude
and latitude in degrees, arc minutes and arc seconds. The compass orientation as well as the lon-
gitude and latitude display is continuously updated to enable precise orientation. As a rule, how-
ever, the accuracy of the measurement and the display depend on the quality of the GPS recep-
tion signal: For this reason, the GPS reception quality is also indicated as a value in the HDOP
field. In addition, the number of satellites currently receiving the signal is displayed next to the
symbol.
The information bar in the lower portion of the window shows all of the other information about the
current route (such as speed, distance, calculated travel time etc.).
Tip
Your navigation system uses the signals from several satellites to determine the position.
There may be overlap between the section areas of these satellite signals which reduces
measuring accuracy. The HDOP value indicated in the compass describes the measur-
ing accuracy within the horizontal 2D map: For values in the range to 6, a high to satis-
factory measuring accuracy is guaranteed, for values over 6 deviation is increasingly
common.
Note
Any speed limits entered for the current route section are displayed in the left corner us-
ing the symbol. A spoken warning only occurs if the Warning signs option in the Set-
tings > Configure special functions menu and the Traffic advice in the Settings > Voice
announcements menu have been activated and the speed has been exceeded by this
value.
