Announcement phase
COMAND announces the imminent change of
direction. Based on the example display
below, the change of direction is announced
with the Please turn right in 900 ft.
and follow the <road name> message.
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. In
the right half, there is an enlarged view of the
area surrounding the intersection
(intersection zoom) or a 3D image of the
road's course, the change of direction also
being illustrated.
