tance to the destination. The arrow shows the
compass heading to the actual destination.
The route is highlighted blue, starting from
the last recognised 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-

Route guidance from an off-map location
to a destination
If the vehicle position is outside the area cov-
ered by the digital map, then the vehicle is in
an off-map location. COMAND Online is also
able to guide you to a destination even from
an off-map location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the
Off road
Off road
message, an arrow and the dis-
tance to the destination. The direction arrow
shows the compass heading to the destina-
tion.
The route is highlighted 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 contin-
ues in the usual way.
Off-road during route guidance
Due to roadworks, 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. The vehicle is therefore in an off-
road position.
In the display, you will see the
message, an arrow and the distance to the
destination. The direction arrow shows the
compass heading to the destination.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance
continues in the usual way.
