Mercedes-Benz GL-Class 2012 COMAND Manual - Manual (Page 75)

shows the compass heading to the actual
destination.
The route is highlighted blue, starting from
the last recognized 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
continues in the usual way.
Route guidance from an off-map
location to a destination
If the vehicle position is outside the area
covered by the digital map, then the vehicle
is in an off-map location. COMAND is also
able to guide you to a destination even from
an off-map location.
At the start of the route guidance, you will see
the Off Mapped Road message, an arrow
and the distance to the destination. The arrow
shows the compass heading to the road left
last.
The route is highlighted blue starting at the
nearest road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance
continues 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 and thus considers the vehicle to
be in an off-road position.
In the display, you will see the
Off Mapped
Road message, an arrow and the distance to
the destination. The arrow shows the
compass heading to the last road you were
driving on.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance
continues in the usual way.
