Change of direction
Introduction
Changes of direction have three phases:
R preparation phase
R announcement phase
R change-of-direction phase
Preparation phase
COMAND prepares you for the upcoming
change of direction. Based on the example
display below, the change of direction is
announced with a message. You see the full-
screen map.
Example display: preparation phase
:
Next road
; Route
= Current vehicle position (the tip of the
triangle indicates the vehicle’s direction
of travel)
? Current road
The display in ? depends on the setting
selected under "Text information on the map"
(
Y
page 189).
Announcement phase
COMAND announces the imminent change of
direction. With reference to the following
example display, the announcement is given
before the change of direction with the
request Please turn right in 900 ft .
The announced distance to the next change
of direction depends on the type of road and
its permissible speed limit.
The display is now split into two sectors. In
the left half, you see the normal map view.
The right half shows an enlarged section of
the area around the intersection (Crossing
Zoom) or a 3D image of the road's course with
the route indicating the next maneuver.
Example display: announcement phase
:
Next road
; Point at which the change of direction
takes place (light blue dot, shown in both
the left and right displays)
= Graphic representation of the distance to
the next change of direction
? Change of direction (turn right here)
A Distance to the next change of direction
B Route (highlighted in blue, shown in both
the left and right displays)
i The filled-in section of visual display for
distance = gets shorter, the nearer you
get to the announced change of direction.
Change-of-direction phase
COMAND announces the imminent change of
direction. In the example, the Now turn
right announcement is made 100 ft. before
the change of direction. The display is split
into two halves, as in the announcement
phase.
