Frequently Asked Questions - Hamburg 990 DAB BLAUPUNKT

How can I improve GPS signal reception?

Ensure the device has a clear view of the sky. Avoid tall buildings, tunnels, or garages. If first use, wait a few minutes for satellite acquisition. If persistent, move to an open area.

What should I do if a street address is not found?

If the house number is missing, select only the street name to navigate to its midpoint. Alternatively, search for a nearby Point of Interest or use coordinates.

Why is the calculated route not optimal?

Go to Settings > Route Preferences and change the Route Planning Method to 'Fast' for shortest time, 'Short' for shortest distance, or 'Economical' for fuel efficiency. Also check Road Types to avoid tolls or motorways if desired.

How do I disable the speed limit warning?

Tap Settings > Warnings. Under 'Speed Limit', set Warn When Speeding to 'None' or 'Visual' only. You can also adjust the tolerance threshold.

Why are some keyboard keys greyed out when entering an address?

The smart keyboard only activates letters that lead to valid map entries. If a letter is greyed out, no street name starts with that combination. Double-check spelling or try a different search term.

How can I remove the junction view that covers the map?

Tap the junction picture to return to the map. To disable permanently, go to Settings > Navigation View and turn off Junction View.

Can I receive real-time traffic updates?

Yes. Enable Traffic in Settings > Traffic. Choose data source Online (requires internet) or Radio (via DAB/FM). Ensure 'Use Real-time Traffic' is on. The device will show traffic events on the map and may recalculate routes.

How do I save a location as a favorite?

When a destination is selected, tap the Save Location icon on the map preview screen. You can rename it and it will appear in Saved Locations for quick access.

What is the 'Where Am I' feature?

It shows your current latitude/longitude, nearest town, and crossing streets. Access via Navigation menu > Useful Information > Where Am I? or tap the current street name on the map.

How do I perform a factory reset?

Go to Settings > Regional and tap Factory Reset (or similar). This will erase all personal data and restore default settings. Confirm when prompted.

1.3 Navigation view

The navigation view is the main screen of Blaupunkt that shows the planned route on a map. Blaupunkt works with digital maps which are not simply the computerised versions of traditional paper maps. Similarly to paper road maps, the 2D mode of digital maps shows you streets and roads. Elevation is also illustrated in colour.

The navigation view displays the following screen buttons, data fields, and route information on the map during navigation:

Note! Some buttons, fields, or icons may not be available in your product version.

Number	Name	Description
1	Current position marker	The current position is displayed as a blue arrow by default. When there is no GPS position, the current position marker is transparent and it shows your last known position. See page 15.
2	GPS position	The dot near the arrow shows the GPS position as perceived by the GPS receiver. See page 15.
3	Planned route	The planned route is displayed as an orange line.
4	Data fields	Three data fields show the following information:The estimated time of the arrival at the destination.The remaining time of the trip.The remaining distance to the destination.Tap this area to access the Trip Computer screen with additional information about the current trip on a dashboard.You can change the default values in Settings (page 77) or by tapping and holding the area where the data fields appear.If you have not selected a destination, you can see your heading instead of the three data fields.

If you are approaching a motorway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. See page 18.

When entering a tunnel, the map is replaced with a generic tunnel image. See page 19.

1.3.1 Streets and roads

Blaupunkt shows the streets similarly to paper road maps. Their width and colours correspond to their importance; you can easily tell a motorway from a small street.

1.3.2 GPS position markers

When your GPS position is available, Blaupunkt marks your current position. By default, this marker is a blue arrow. The dot near the arrow shows the GPS position as perceived by the GPS receiver.

The exact location of the current position marker depends on the vehicle type used for route calculation and the navigation mode. Both can be set in Route preferences (page 70).

• If you choose pedestrian and/or off-road navigation, the position marker is at your exact GPS position. The direction of the icon shows your current heading.
• In all other cases, the position marker may not show your exact GPS position and heading. If roads are near, the GPS position is locked on the road and aligned to the nearest road to suppress GPS position errors, and the direction of the icon is aligned to the direction of the road.

1.3.3 Turn preview and next street

When navigating a route, the top section of the Navigation view shows information about the next route event (manoeuvre) and the next street or the next town.

There is a field in the top left corner displaying the next manoeuvre. Both the type of the manoeuvre (turn, roundabout, exiting motorway, and so on) and its distance from the current position are displayed.

A smaller icon shows the type of the second next manoeuvre if it is near the first one. Otherwise, only the next manoeuvre is displayed. Tap the icon of the actual manoeuvre to open the itinerary screen.

1.3.4 The planned route

The planned route is the currently navigated route. Whenever the destination is set, the route is active until you delete it, reach your destination or suspend navigation. Blaupunkt displays the route in the following ways:

Symbol	Name	Description
	Current GPS position and starting point	It is your current position displayed on the map.In pedestrian mode it is the GPS position.If a vehicle is selected for route calculation and roads are near, the arrow jumps to the nearest road.Normally, if GPS position is available, the route starts from the current position. If there is no valid GPS position, Blaupunkt uses the last known position as the starting point.
	Waypoint (intermediate destination)	It is an intermediate destination of the route before reaching the final destination.
	Destination (end point)	It is the final destination of the route.
	Route colour	The route always stands out with its colour on the map, both in daytime and night colour modes.
	Streets and roads that are excluded from the navigation	You can choose whether you want to use or avoid certain road types (page 70). However, when Blaupunkt cannot avoid such roads, the route includes them and shows them in a colour that is different from the route colour.
	Streets and roads that are affected by traffic events	Road segments may be affected by traffic events. These streets and roads are displayed in a different colour, and small symbols displayed along the route show the type of the traffic event.

1.3.5 Manoeuvre icons

During navigation the next manoeuvre is displayed in the top left corner. Most of the manoeuvre icons are intuitive. The following table lists some of the frequently shown route events:

Icon	Function
	Turn left.
	Turn right.
	Turn back.
	Bear right.
	Turn sharp left.
	Keep left.
	Continue straight in the intersection.
	Enter the roundabout and take the first exit (next manoeuvre).
	Enter the roundabout (second next manoeuvre).
	Enter the motorway.
	Exit the motorway.
	Board the ferry.
	Leave the ferry.
	Approaching a waypoint on the right.
	Approaching the destination.

1.3.6 Lane information

When navigating on multi-lane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the planned route. If lane information is available in the map data, Blaupunkt displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lanes and the direction you need to take.

1.3.7 Signposts

If necessary information is available, Blaupunkt displays signposts at the top of the map. The colour and style of the signposts are similar to the real ones you can see above roads or by roadsides. They show the available destinations and the road numbers.

All signposts look similar when cruising (when there is no planned route). During navigation only the signpost that points to the lane(s) to be taken is highlighted; all the others are darker.

If you want to hide the currently displayed signposts, tap any of them and the normal Navigation view returns until new signpost information is received.

You can modify the signpost settings in (page 77).

1.3.8 Junction view

If you are approaching a motorway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. The lanes you need to take are displayed with arrows. At the top of the screen, road signs show you additional information.

If you want to hide the currently displayed junction and return to the Navigation view, tap the picture.

Junction view can be turned off in

See page 77.

1.3.9 Tunnel view

When entering a tunnel, the map is replaced with a generic tunnel image so that surface roads and buildings cannot distract you.

The top-down overview of the tunnel displayed in a separate window helps you orientate yourself. The remaining distance in the tunnel is also displayed.

After leaving the tunnel, the original map view returns.

Tunnel view can be turned off in

See page 77.

1.3.10 Motorway services

When you are driving on a motorway, the button appears at the top right corner of the Navigation view. Tap it to open a panel with the details of the next few service stations (petrol stations, restaurants).

Tap any of them to display the exit area on the map. You can now easily add this service station as a waypoint to your route if necessary.

If you want to display other types of Places at the next few service stations, you can change

the icons in

See page 77.

1.3.11 3D object types

Blaupunkt supports the following 3D object types:

Type	Description

2 Warnings and safety information

The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS receiver. Blaupunkt does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you.

It is important to look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you plan and review your route before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure and stop if you need to change the route.

You must follow the traffic rules. If you deviate from the planned route, Blaupunkt changes the instructions accordingly.

3 Using the navigation

By default, Blaupunkt calculates routes using the road network of the maps provided with the product.

You can select the destination and start navigating to it right away (normal navigation) if you need a route for immediate navigation.

You can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position even without GPS reception. To achieve this, you need to set a new starting point in the Multipoint Route menu. It also suspends guidance so that the route is not recalculated when a new position is received. See Page 49.

You can plan routes with multiple destinations by selecting a first and a second destination and adding it to your route. You can add as many destinations to your route as you like. See Page 45.

You can also use Blaupunkt for off-road navigation. See page 58.

3.1 Selecting a destination

You can choose your destination by selecting one of the following options:

• Using combined search to search among different destination types at once, see page 25
• Entering a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a house number, see page 28
• Selecting a Place as your destination, see page 33
• Selecting a previously saved location as your destination, see page 40
• Selecting a location from the History of previously used destinations, see page 41
• Selecting a previously saved route, see page 42
• Entering the coordinate of the destination, see page 43
• Selecting a location on the map, see page 44
• Planning a multipoint route, see page 45.

3.1.1 Using combined search

There are several ways to select your destination. You can initiate a separate search for addresses, Places, saved locations, or recent destinations, but the fastest way to search for any of these is to use combined search.

Perform the following steps to use combined search:

1. Tap

on the Navigation view to access the Navigation menu.

1. Tap

1. Tap

You can see the input field at the top of the screen. Right search area, the town around which the search is carried out.

The default search area is the area where you are located. For a local search, skip the next step.

3.7 Off-road navigation

When first started, Blaupunkt calculates routes using the road network of the maps provided with the product. If you want to disregard roads during navigation, you can switch to off-road mode, for example when driving in a desert.

3.7.1 Switching to off-road navigation

To switch to off-road navigation, perform the following steps:

1. On the Navigation view, tap

Settings

Route Preferences

2. Tap

Navigation Mode On-road

and select

Off-road

Most of the procedures described for on-road navigation also apply to off-road navigation. However, there are some that are not available in this navigation mode. For example:

• You cannot open the itinerary as you have no manoeuvres just route points and straight lines between them.
• There are no route alternatives and route planning method.
  • Vehicle settings are disabled.

3.7.2 Selecting the destination in off-road mode

Selecting a destination (waypoint or final destination) is the same as described in the previous sections. The only difference is that route points are linked to form a route with straight lines regardless of the road network and traffic regulations.

3.7.3 Navigating in off-road mode

The real difference between on-road and off-road modes is the navigation itself. When you are on the Navigation view with an off-road route:

• Your position and heading is not aligned to the nearest road.
• There is no turn-by-turn navigation, just a recommended direction.

You can see an orange line drawn between your current position and the next destination to reach. The Turn Preview field in the top left corner shows a compass with your bearing and the distance of the next destination.

When you reach the final destination, the navigation ends.

4 Reference guide

The following sections describe the different concepts and menu screens of Blaupunkt.

4.1 Concepts

The following sections describe and explain navigation-related concepts.

4.1.1 2D/3D GPS reception

The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and needs at least four signals to give a three-dimensional position, including elevation. Because the satellites are moving and because objects can block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four signals. If three satellites are available, the receiver can calculate the horizontal GPS position but the accuracy is lower and the GPS device does not give you elevation data; only 2D reception is possible.

Several factors have an impact on the deviation between your real position and the one given by the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the ionosphere or reflecting objects near the GPS device have a different and varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can calculate your position.

4.1.2 Natural and TTS voices

Natural voices are the traditional type of voice instructions. Every phrase that occurs in voice guidance messages is recorded in a studio with a real person. The advantage of pre-recorded voice is that it sounds really natural, but the range of instructions that can be given this way is limited. Location-specific information such as street names cannot be announced.

TTS technology provides a machine-generated way to give voice instructions. The advantage of TTS is that it can announce street names, traffic events, route summary, and traffic rules.

4.1.3 Alert Points

The following warning types are available:

• Audio warning: beeps are played (if the voice guidance language that you selected is a natural voice) or the type of the alert can be announced (TTS voice) while you are approaching one of these points, and an extra alert warns you if you exceed the given speed limit while approaching.
• Visual warning: the type of the Alert Point, its distance and the related speed limit appear on the Navigation view while you are approaching one of these locations.

For some of the Alert Points, either the enforced or expected speed limit is available. For these points, the audio alert can be different if you are below or above the given speed limit.

- Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you exceed the given speed limit.

- When approaching: The audio alert is always played when approaching one of these Alert Points. In order to draw your attention, the alert is different when you exceed the speed limit.

4.1.4 Route calculation and recalculation

A route is a sequence of route events, that is, manoeuvres (for example, turns and roundabouts) to reach the destination. The route contains one starting point and one or more destinations. The starting point is the current (or last known) position by default. If you need to see a future route, the starting point can be replaced with any other given point. See page 49.

Once the destination has been selected, Blaupunkt calculates the route based on your preferences. These preferences are the route planning method, the vehicle type, and the road types used or avoided when calculating the route. For detailed information on all the preferences, see Route preferences settings, page 70.

Real-time traffic events are also taken into account, which sometimes greatly modify the route. See page 62.

Blaupunkt automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary.

If traffic services are enabled, Blaupunkt considers real-time dynamic traffic information in route calculation and may also recalculate the route if the traffic situation changes during navigation.

Intelligent data (captured historical speed information based on probe data) is used for optimal routing depending on the day of the week and time of day. Route segments where traffic flow is typically slow at the given time of day and day of the week are avoided if a suitable alternative can be found. When calculating the optimal route, the data relevant for the time of the estimated arrival of the vehicle at the given route point is taken into account. As a result, Blaupunkt may suggest a different route during the weekday rush hours, especially in major cities with frequent traffic jams. See page 62.

4.1.5 Smart Zoom

Smart Zoom provides the following features:

• While following a route: When approaching a turn, it zooms in and raises the view angle to let you easily recognise your next manoeuvre. If the next turn is at a distance, it zooms out and lowers the view angle to be flat so you can see the road in front of you.
• While driving without a planned route: Smart Zoom zooms in if you drive slowly and zooms out when you drive at a high speed.

4.1.6 Speed limit warning

Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. Blaupunkt is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not be available for your region, or may not be fully correct for all roads on the map.

The maximum speed set in the vehicle profile (page 70) is also used for this warning. Blaupunkt alerts you if you exceed the pre-set value even if the legal speed limit is higher.

Speed warning can be fine-tuned in Warnings. See page 76.

You can also set the relative speed tolerance above which the application initiates the warning.

The following warning types are available:

• Audio warning: You receive a verbal warning when you exceed the speed limit with the given percentage.
• Visual warning: The current speed limit is shown on the map when you exceed it (for

example 50).

You can also choose to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time.

4.1.7 Historical traffic

If statistical traffic information is stored with the map data, Blaupunkt can take them into account when planning a route. In normal cases, these statistics help you avoid usual traffic jams on the given day of week in the given hour but in some cases like on public holidays that fall on normal weekdays, they can be misleading. You can enable or disable this feature in Traffic settings. See page 80.

4.1.8 Real-time traffic

Real-time traffic information can provide you with the current status of the traffic. Route calculation can avoid road blocks or unexpected traffic jams caused by an accident.

The following data sources are available:

- Online traffic:

Online traffic can provide you with the real-time status of the traffic if an active Internet connection is available.

The application automatically takes account of the traffic events received. You do not need to set anything in Blaupunkt.

When Blaupunkt receives traffic information that may affect your route, it warns you that it is recalculating the route. The navigation continues with a new optimal route considering the most up-to-date traffic conditions.

For information on traffic icons, see page 20.

To fine-tune this service, you have the following options in Traffic settings (page 80):

• Set the minimum amount of time that you think is worth saving at the cost of a detour.
• Instruct Blaupunkt to have you confirm the new planned route before it takes effect.

Note!

If there are traffic events on the planned route that the application has not

bypassed, the +0:01 icon opens the list of significant traffic events to let you quickly check them.

4.1.9 Intelligent navigation

With the help of intelligent navigation, the planned route can adapt to traffic and other changes during navigation. The following sections describe these features.

4.1.9.1 Congestion detour on highways

Blaupunkt may offer a detour when you slow down on a highway due to a traffic jam. The Potential congestion detour window appears and shows the length and duration of the detour.

You can ignore this message and keep the original route by tapping

you can check the suggested route by tapping

By tapping the plus/minus signs, you can increase or decrease the distance to avoid on the highway.

You can accept the recommended detour by tapping

4.1.9.2 Real-time alternative routes

Blaupunkt may offer an alternative route on normal roads in case of a traffic jam. The possible alternative route window appears and shows the length and duration of the detour.

4.1.9.4 Hints upon detour

If you leave the planned route by exiting a motorway, Blaupunkt tries to guess the reason for making a detour. The Reason for detour window appears and shows available petrol stations, restaurants or other Places around the current position. Also, if there are avoidable parts of

the original route ahead (like a tunnel, a toll road or a ferry), you can find them in the list, in case you want to bypass them.

By tapping one of the Places, Blaupunkt creates a waypoint and navigates you to the

selected place. You can ignore them by tapping

Pedestrian	Neither manoeuvre restrictions nor directional constraints are taken into account when planning a route.Roads are used only if access for pedestrians is allowed.Controlled-access roads are excluded from routes.A private road is used only if the destination is there.Speed limits are not used in route calculation and an average walking speed is used when calculating the estimated time of arrival.
Bicycle	Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints (if they are applied to bicycles in the map data) are taken into account when planning a route.Roads are used only if access for bicycles or pedestrians is allowed.Controlled-access roads are excluded from routes.A private road is used only if the destination is there.Speed limits are not used in route calculation and an average cycling speed is used when calculating the estimated time of arrival.
Bus	Manoeuvre restrictions and one-way streets are taken into account when planning a route.Roads are used only if access for buses is allowed.Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes.
Taxi	Manoeuvre restrictions and one-way streets are taken into account when planning a route.Roads are used only if access for taxis is allowed.Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes.
Lorry	Manoeuvre restrictions and one-way streets are taken into account when planning a route.Roads are used only if access for lorries is allowed.Private roads, resident-only roads and walkways are excluded from routes.U-turns are excluded from routes (turning back on a divided road is not considered as a U-turn).If the map contains data on dimension, weight and freight restrictions, they can also be taken into account when planning a route.

Creating a profile makes it possible to set up vehicle parameters used in route planning. You can have several profiles for the same vehicle.

To add a new vehicle profile, perform the following steps:

Vehicle

To reset all vehicle profiles to their default settings, tap

Reset All

4.3.1.2 Route Planning Method types

You can select from the following route planning method types:

Button	Description
Fast	Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed limit on all roads. Usually, the best selection for fast and normal cars.
Easy	Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult manoeuvres. With this option, you can make Blaupunkt take, for example, the motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.
Short	Gives a short route to minimise the travel distance. Usually optimal for pedestrians, cyclists or slow vehicles. Searching for a short route regardless of the speed, this route type is rarely optimal for normal vehicles.
Green	Gives a quick but fuel-efficient route based on the fuel consumption data. Travel cost and CO_2 emission calculations are estimations only. They cannot take elevations, curves and traffic conditions into consideration.
Economical	For vehicle types where Green routing is not available, this method combines the benefits of Fast and Short. Blaupunkt calculates as if it were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads as well to save fuel.

Note! Depending on the vehicle type, some methods may not be available.

4.3.1.3 Navigation Mode

4.3.1.4 Road types

To let the route fit your needs, you can also set which road types are to be considered for or to be excluded from the route.

Excluding a road type is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some of the excluded road types, they are used only as much as necessary. In this case, a warning icon is shown on the Route information screen, and the part of the route not matching your preference is displayed in a different colour on the map.

The following road types are available:

Button	Description
[YXVA] Motorways	You might need to avoid motorways when you are driving a slow car or you are towing another vehicle.
Road With Period Charge	Charge roads are pay roads where you can purchase a pass or vignette to use the road for a longer period of time. They can be enabled or disabled separately from toll roads.
[K6T3] Road With Per-use Toll	Per-use toll roads are pay roads where there is a per-use charge in the routes by default. If you disable toll roads, Blaupunkt plans the best toll-free route.
[S4TZ] Ferries	Blaupunkt includes ferries in a planned route by default. However, a map does not necessarily contain information about the accessibility of temporary ferries. You might also need to pay a fare on ferries.
[CKBW] Car Shuttle Trains	Car shuttle trains are used to transport vehicles for a relatively short distance and they usually connect places that are not easily accessible on a road, for example, in Switzerland.
[H3K5] Unpaved Roads	Blaupunkt excludes unpaved roads by default. Unpaved roads can be in a bad condition and you usually cannot reach the speed limit on them.

4.3.2 Sound settings

You can modify the following settings:

Button	Function
	Adjust the volume of the guidance sounds (verbal instructions) or mute it.
	Adjust the volume of the non-verbal alert sounds (beeps) or mute it.

Early Indication of Manouevres	Set whether you want an immediate announcement for the next manoeuvre after each turn, or it is enough to receive the information when the turn is near.
Verbosity Level	Set the verbosity of the voice instructions, that is how much they tell and how often they speak.Minimal: the voice instruction is given once right before the next manoeuvre.Medium: the voice instruction is given when approaching the next manoeuvre and it is repeated right before the manoeuvre.Verbose: the voice instruction is given first relatively far from the next manoeuvre, it is repeated when approaching the next turn, and it is repeated again right before the actual manoeuvre.
Announce Route Summary	Allow reading out a quick summary of the route whenever a route is calculated.
Announce Country Info	Allow reading out information about the country you have entered, when you cross country borders.
Announce Traffic Info	Allow reading out real-time traffic messages.
Announce System Messages	Allow announcing system messages.

4.3.3 Warnings settings

You can enable and modify the following settings:

Button	Description
Speed Limit	Blaupunkt is able to warn you if you exceed the current speed limit. This information may not be available in your region, or may not be fully correct for all roads on the map.The maximum speed set in the vehicle profile is also used for this warning. Blaupunkt alerts you if you exceed the pre-set value even if the legal speed limit is higher.This setting lets you decide whether you wish to receive visible and/or audible warnings.The following warning types are available:Visual warning: the current speed limit is shown on the map when you exceed it.Audio and Visual warning: besides the current speed limit being shown on the map, you also receive a verbal warning when you exceed the speed limit with the set percentage.If you prefer to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time (normally, it is shown only if you exceed the limit), you can set it here.You can also set the relative speed above which the application initiates the warning by adjusting a slider. The value can be different within and outside towns.
Alert Points	Tap it to receive a warning when approaching Alert Points like school zones or railroad crossings. You must make sure that using this feature is legal in the country where you intend to use it.You can set the warning type for the different Alert Point categories (alert types) individually. The following warning types are available:Visual warning: the type of the Alert Point, its distance, and the related speed limit appear on the Navigation view while you are approaching one of these locations.Audio and Visual warning: besides the visual alert, beeps are played (when using a natural voice) or the type of the alert is announced (in case of a TTS voice) while you are approaching one of these points, and an extra alert warns you if you exceed the given speed limit while approaching.For some of the Alert Points, the enforced or expected speed limit is available. For these points, the audio alert can be different if you are below or above the given speed limit.Only when speeding: The audio warning is only played when you exceed the given speed limit.When approaching: The audio warning is always played when approaching one of these Alert Points. In order to draw your attention, the audio alert is different when you exceed the speed limit.
Permanently Confirm Attention Notes	If this setting is on, you will be asked to confirm the general attention message shown at startup only once. This does not affect the specific warnings that you can set up on this screen.

4.3.4 Navigation View settings

These settings allow you to fine-tune the appearance of the Navigation view. You can also adjust how the software helps you navigate with different kinds of route-related information on the Navigation view.

Data source Radio & Online	Select what data source you want to use for receiving real-time traffic information:• Online: uses an Internet connection.
Use Real-time Traffic	Tap it if you want to use real-time traffic information to avoid road blocks or unexpected traffic jams.
Show Traffic Info Color And Icon	If you want to see traffic events (for example closures, accidents, lane restrictions) on the map, you can choose to show the events with a different colour or to display an icon too. This feature can also be disabled.
Show Free Traffic Flow As Well	Receive information about normal traffic as well, not just special conditions or events.
Use Historical Traffic	Enable or disable historical traffic data and traffic patterns. This locally stored information can be very useful in normal circumstances but for example on public holidays it may be better to turn it off in order not to take account of normal weekday traffic jams.
Offer detour if it saves at least: 5 minutes	Set the minimum amount of time that you think is worth saving at the cost of making a detour.For example, in the figure below, the orange route shows a traffic event that causes a 30-minute delay. The blue route is a detour that is 15 minutes longer than the original route (not counting the traffic jam). If you set the Offer detour feature to 10 minutes, Blaupunkt recalculates the route because it saves 15 minutes, which is more than the 10 minutes you set. If you set it to 20 minutes, the original route is kept because the detour would save you only 15 minutes.Calculations are based on information received about traffic events.
Confirm Detours Manually	Enable or disable the manual confirmation of every recalculation due to traffic events.

4.3.8 Weather settings

This setting allows you to enable or disable online weather forecast and the automatic download of the weather forecast. Automatic download requires a small amount of frequent data traffic.

4.3.9 Trip Monitor settings

Trip logs contain useful information about your recorded trips. You can enable and modify the following settings:

Button	Description
Enable auto-saving	Trip monitor can record statistical data of your trips. If you need these logs later, you can let the application save them automatically for you.
Save track log	Track logs, the sequence of the positions given by the GPS receiver, can be saved together with trip logs. They can later be displayed on the map. You can let the application save track logs whenever it saves a trip.
Trip database size	This is not a button. This line shows the current size of the trip database, the sum of all trip and track logs saved.

5 Troubleshooting

This section offers possible solutions to issues that may occur during the operation of Blaupunkt.

5.1 GPS signal cannot be received

Issue: The current location is not available, because GPS signal cannot be received.

Cause 1: GPS signal is weak or may not be available if you are between tall buildings, in garages or tunnels as the signal weakens or distorts as it travels through solid material.

Solution 1: Go to a place where there is a clear sight of the sky or at least a bigger part of the sky is visible.

Cause 2: It may take several minutes to receive GPS signals when first using Blaupunkt, or when your last known position is farther away from your current position.

Solution 2: Wait a few minutes for the GPS signal.

5.2 Address cannot be found

Issue: Blaupunkt cannot find the address you entered.

Cause: The digital map data may not include every single address.

Solution 1: If the house number is not known or Blaupunkt cannot find it, select only the street name. This way, Blaupunkt will navigate you to the midpoint of the street, where you can find the exact address more easily.

Solution 2: Search for another address that is close to the destination.

Solution 3: Search for the coordinates or a nearby Place of Interest.

5.3 The calculated route is not optimal

Issue: The planned route is too long or includes several minor roads.

Cause: In

5.4 Disabling the speed limit warning

Issue: The speed limit warning is signalling even when the actual speed limit is kept.

Cause: The speed limit in the digital map data might differ from the actual speed limit of your current location.

Solution: Disable the speed warning by performing the following steps:

1. Tap

Settings

1. Tap

Warn When Speeding Audio and Visual

5.5 Keyboard buttons are greyed out

Issue: Some keyboard buttons are greyed out and cannot be used.

Cause: Blaupunkt has a smart keyboard for address search, which means that only those buttons are active that can be used to type a name that is available on the map.

Solution: Check if you entered the name correctly. If the name is correct, then the address you are looking for is not available in the digital map data.

5.6 The map is hidden behind an image of a junction

Issue: The map is not visible because it is hidden behind an image of a junction.

Cause: If you are approaching a motorway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. The lanes you need to take are displayed with arrows.

Solution: If you want to hide the currently displayed junction and return to the Navigation view, tap the picture. To turn off this feature, perform the following steps:

1. Tap

Settings

1. Tap

Now the junction view will not appear again.
