Route Guidance to an Off-road<br />
Destination<br />
<strong>COMAND</strong> can also guide you to destinations<br />
that are within the area covered by the digital<br />
map, but are not themselves included on the<br />
map. Such destinations are off-road<br />
destinations, which you can enter, for<br />
example, by entering the destination via the<br />
map.<br />
In this case, <strong>COMAND</strong> guides you on roads<br />
known to the system for as long as possible<br />
using navigation announcements and route<br />
guidance displays.<br />
1 Off-road destination<br />
2 Off-road route segment (dashed line)<br />
3 Current vehicle location, tip of the triangle<br />
points in the vehicle’s direction of travel<br />
4 Road name, if available<br />
When the vehicle is entering the area that is<br />
not covered by the digital map, the screen is<br />
split. On the right half of the screen an arrow<br />
appears that points to the off-road<br />
destination 1 and the system announces:<br />
You have reached your destination<br />
area. Please follow the arrow on the<br />
display. When the vehicle comes close to<br />
the destination the message You have<br />
reached your destination is given.<br />
Route Guidance from an Off-road<br />
Location to a Destination<br />
If the vehicle location is within the area<br />
covered by the digital map, but the map itself<br />
does not contain any information on the<br />
location, the vehicle is in an off-road position.<br />
<strong>COMAND</strong> can guide you from such a position<br />
to a destination.<br />
At the start of route guidance you will see the<br />
message Off Mapped Road, an arrow and<br />
the distance to the destination. The arrow<br />
indicates the direction of the actual<br />
destination.<br />
The blue marking for the route on the map<br />
starts from the nearest road known to the<br />
system.<br />
As soon as the vehicle is travelling again on a<br />
road known to the system, route guidance<br />
continues in the usual manner.<br />
Route Guidance from an Off-map<br />
Location to a Destination<br />
If the vehicle location is outside the area<br />
covered by the digital map, then the vehicle<br />
is in an off-map position. <strong>COMAND</strong> can guide<br />
you from such a position to a destination.<br />
At the start of route guidance you will see the<br />
message Off Map, an arrow and the distance<br />
to the destination. The arrow indicates the<br />
direction of the actual destination.<br />
The blue marking for the route on the map<br />
starts from the nearest road known to the<br />
system.<br />
As soon as the vehicle is travelling again on a<br />
road known to the system, route guidance<br />
continues in the usual manner.<br />
Off-road During Route Guidance<br />
The actual path of the road may deviate from<br />
the data in the digital map due to road work.<br />
In cases like this, the system is temporarily<br />
not able to locate the vehicle location on the<br />
digital map; the vehicle is thus in an off-road<br />
position.<br />
The display then shows the message Off<br />
Mapped Road, an arrow and the distance to<br />
the destination. The arrow indicates the<br />
direction of the actual destination.
