Route guidance from an off-map location
to a destination
If the vehicle position is outside the area
covered by the digital map, then the vehicle
is in an off-map location. COMAND is also
able to guide you to a destination even from
an off-map location.
At the start of the route guidance, you will see
Street unknown
the
the distance to the destination. The arrow
shows the compass heading to the road left
last.
The route is highlighted in blue from the
nearest road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance
continues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidance
Due to road construction work, for example,
there may be differences between the data
on the digital map and the actual course of
the road.
In such cases, the system will temporarily be
unable to locate the vehicle position on the
digital map and thus considers the vehicle to
be in an off-road position.
In the display, you will see the
unknown
message, an arrow and the distance
to the destination. The arrow shows the
compass heading to the actual destination.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance
continues in the usual way.
