Vehicle type-specific navigation
Individual vehicle data is used to calculate the route and display the 
appropriate vehicle-specific restrictions on the map. **
Vehicle type definition
PC 5200 TSN allows the driver to configure the navigation system 
corresponding to the exact vehicle data. This makes it possible to 
adjust the settings for height/length/width, total weight, max. axle 
weight, use of trailer and semi trailer as well as the definition of the 
hazardous materials transported.
Tour Book for individual tour planning
Up to 10 independent tours with a maximum of 40 different waypoints 
each can be arranged individually. The route will be planned according 
to the tour book.
Easy Installation
Because the PC 5200 is compact and has a non-sensitive SD card 
slot, it can easily be tucked away in almost any vehicle. The turnable 
gyro makes it possible to mount the PC 5200 in practically any posi-
tion, including upside down, depending on the individual installation 
situation. For added convenience, it is not necessary to connect the 
vehicle’s speed signal. *
Travel Time monitoring
The PC 5200 TSN allows the driver to check travel times when 
guidance is active. Based on the current time (calculated via GPS), 
the estimated travel time, and the user-defined maximum travel time, 
the driver is warned when approaching the limit for uninterrupted or 
daily travel time.
Integrated RDS-TMC Receiver
Traffic information is available with the built-in TMC receiver. 
The additional functions this enables not only deliver better value 
for the price, but also make installing the unit even easier: since 
all you need is a connection to the FM antenna, the set comes 
with an FM window antenna.
Dynamic Navigation via TMC
The system is able to process traffic information, which is provided 
through its internal RDS-TMC receiver (Radio Data System - Traffic 
Message Channel). This traffic information is evaluated and inclu-
ded in the route calculation. The delta (travel time, distance) for the 
current route is shown and the driver can decide whether he wants to 
drive this new route or not.
2D/3D Map View incl. Auto-Zoom
The unit’s special software makes it possible to display precise, 
smooth maps in either traditional 2D or the new 3D view. Auto 
zoom permits the system to choose from among three user-definable 
scales. Depending on the speed of the car, the map zoom can work 
automatically. 
Wide range of destination input options
The wide range of destination input options makes it easy to find 
practically any destination. The input function is supported by 
”Intelligent Typewriter,” which automatically shows only the 
necessary letters, making it much easier to choose the destination.

Slightly reduced positioning accuracy possible. In extreme shadowed areas GPS recep-
tion may not be available. GPS aerial must be mounted intervisible to sky direction.
**
Please note that the map material may not provide truck attributes in all regions/countries.
 Additional low-ranking roads are also not attributed. In this case, route calculation works without 
 taking truck restrictions into account. The system displays an indicator of the attribution status.
