Operating systems
COMAND navigation system* (route guidance)
Route guidance from an off-road loca-
tion to a destination
If the vehicle position is within the area
covered by the digital map, but the map
does not contain any information about
that location, the vehicle is in an off-road
location.
COMAND is also able to guide you to a des-
tination even from such a location.
At the start of the route guidance, you will
see the "Off road" message and a direction
arrow. The direction arrow shows the com-
pass heading to the actual destination.
The route is highlighted blue from the near-
est road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance con-
tinues in the usual way.
Route guidance from an off-map loca-
tion to a destination
If the vehicle position is outside the area
covered by the digital map, then the vehi-
cle is in an off-map location.
COMAND is also able to guide you to a des-
tination even from such a location.

At the start of the route guidance, you will
see the "Off map" message and a direction
arrow. The direction arrow shows the com-
pass heading to the actual destination.
The route is highlighted blue from the near-
est road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance con-
tinues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidance
Due to road construction work, for exam-
ple, 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 ve-
hicle to be in an off-road position.
The "Off road" message and an arrow indi-
cating the compass heading to the destina-
tion appear in the display.
As soon as the system can assign the vehi-
cle position to the map again, route guid-
ance continues in the usual way.
