For this map display the system uses data packets received online in the form of satellite pictures and combines these pictures with the road network from the Standard map display. The MMI hard drive has a memory capacity of 2 GB for temporarily storing the map/navigation data received online (corresponds to map/navigation data for about 4000 km of route guidance). You can also use the loaded satellite pictures for route guidance without an active data connection as long as these pictures are stored on the hard drive.
