COMAND can guide you to destinations
which are within the area of the digital map,
but which are not themselves recorded on the
map.
These destinations are known as off-road
destinations, which you can enter using the
map, for example. In these cases, COMAND
guides you for as long as possible with navi-
gation announcements and displays on roads
known to the system.
If the vehicle reaches an area which is not part
of the digital map, the display appears as a
split-screen view. On the right, an arrow
appears that points to off-road destina-
tion :. You will hear the announcement:
"Please follow the arrow on the display". As
the vehicle approaches the destination, the
Area of destination reached Area of destination reached
appears.
Route guidance from an off-road loca-
tion to a destination
If the vehicle position is within the area cov-
ered 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 an off-road location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the

the distance to the destination. The arrow
shows the compass heading to the actual
destination.
The route is highlighted blue, starting from
the last recognized street the vehicle was on
before it left the map.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance contin-
ues in the usual way.

guide you to a destination even from an off-
map location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the

ues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidance
Due to road works, for example, there may be
differences between the data on the digital
map and the actual course of the road.
message In such cases, the system will temporarily be
unable to locate the vehicle position on the
digital map. The vehicle is therefore in an off-
road position.
In the display, you will see the

the destination. The direction arrow shows
the compass heading to the destination.
