Route guidance
If the destination is within a partially
digitized area
COMAND guides you through fully digitized
areas for as long as possible. Route guid-
ance is conducted in the usual manner, i.e.
with navigation announcements and route
guidance displays.
Before the vehicle reaches a partially digi-
tized area, COMAND notifies you of this
with the following announcements:
ț “Be prepared to enter an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be provid-
ed.”
ț “In 700 feet you will enter an area
where turn by turn guidance cannot be
provided.”
ț “You are about to enter an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be provid-
ed.”
Route guidance within a partially digi-
tized area
If you start route guidance in this type of
area, you will hear the following announce-
ment: “You are currently in an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be provided.”
Route guidance is provided by means of a
direction arrow showing the compass
heading to the destination. COMAND will
not generate automatic navigation an-
nouncements.
If you try to call up or repeat an announce-
ment manually, (
୴ page 132) you will hear
the announcement “You are currently in an
area where turn by turn guidance cannot be
provided.“.
During route guidance, the display is divid-
ed. On the right-hand side you will see the
direction arrow showing the compass
heading to the destination.
On the left-hand side of the display you will
see the map with the suggested route. The
suggested route is highlighted blue. How-
ever, it may not be possible to follow the
suggested route because, for example, the
road is closed or not open for car traffic.
If, during route guidance, COMAND leads
you back into a fully digitized area, route
guidance will simply continue in the usual
manner.

The indicated distance can be seen
here by way of example. In reality, it
may be different.
