Route guidance
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 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
The road layout may differ from the data on
the digital map, due to road construction
measures, for example.
In such cases, the system cannot allocate
the vehicle's position to the digital map
and the vehicle is therefore in an off-road
position.
The Off Road message and an arrow show-
ing the compass heading to the destina-
tion appear on the display.
As soon as the system can allocate the ve-
hicle position's to the map again, route
guidance continues in the usual way.
