New databank, issue quarterly 4/99 ? A 4x CD-ROM drive allows much faster ? Faster calibration of distance sensor access times to navigation data. This al- through utilisation of road curve radii. lows rapid computing of routes and de- viations from the given route guidance ? Improved GPS reset handling, i.e. faster are generated faster. Furthermore, pro- recovery after position loss (e.g. in un- ducing maps in various scales is speeded derground garages, insufficient satellite up. link, etc.). ? A 12-channel GPS receiver replaces the 8-channel version. This results in quicker and more accurate position fixing of the vehicle. ? A selective gyroscope supports the posi- tioning fixing and enables, when re- quired, faster calibration of the PCM. ? Processor with 72 MIPS (mega instruc- tions per second) instead of previous 16 MIPS. ? Flash memory (memory for saving pro- gram and other important data, e.g. last position before power failure, etc.) with 4 MB instead of 2 MB. ? Memory with 16 MB instead of 2 MB. It is possible to retrofit this new navigation computer in cars pre-delivered with PCM. To function satisfactorily, the drive also re- quires the new software (CD ROM 2000-2) which was introduced at the same time. The new CD is absolutely essential for the retrofit of the navigation computer. This CD can also be used as a normal update for previously delivered units. 2002 Service Information 9 - 23
