Avoiding an area
General information
COMAND enables you to avoid areas you do not wish to drive through.
If you activate or deactivate a route block while route guidance is active, COMAND will
calculate a new route. If you activate or deactivate a route block while route guidance is
inactive, COMAND will use the new setting for the next route guidance.
The calculated route may contain an area to be avoided if the destination is in such an area.

Highways within blocked areas are always taken into consideration in the route calculation.
