Route guidance from an off-map loca-
tion 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 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 road message, an arrow and the dis-
tance to the destination. The arrow shows the
compass heading to the road left last.
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 and thus considers the vehicle to
be in an off-road position.
In the display, you will see the Off road mes-
sage, an arrow and the distance to the desti-
nation. The arrow shows the compass head-
ing 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.
Dynamic route guidance
Introduction
An RDS-TMC radio station transmits RDS-
TMC traffic reports in addition to the radio
programme. COMAND can receive the RDS-
TMC traffic reports and take them into con-
sideration for dynamic (traffic-dependent)
route guidance. The navigation system can,
for example, guide you around a traffic jam.
In Germany, COMAND uses the high-quality
traffic data from T-systems Traffic for the
TMCPro traffic jam warning system. In con-
trast to the public TMC service, TMCPro uses
exclusive traffic data that is detected with an
automated sensor network, in addition to the
messages generated by the TMC service. The
traffic data received from the traffic jam warn-
ing services named above could differ.
There may also be differences between the
traffic reports received and the actual road
and traffic conditions.
The respective traffic data being received
appears at the bottom right of the display with
the symbols "TMCPro" or "TMC". If there is no
reception, no symbol is displayed.
Switching dynamic route guidance
on/off
X
To switch on: set Dynamic route as the
route type
6
(Y page 52).
X
To switch off: select the Fast route or
Short route route type (Y page 52).
i
COMAND calculates a new route if you
change the route type setting with route
guidance active. If you change the route
type setting when route guidance is inac-
tive, COMAND uses the new setting for the
next route guidance.
RDS-TMC displays on the map
COMAND can show certain traffic incidents
on the map. These displays can be seen on
map scales 50 m (0.05 miles) to 20 km
(20 miles).
X
To set the map scale: turn cVd the
COMAND controller until the desired map
scale is set.
Turning clockwise zooms out from the map;
turning anti-clockwise zooms in.

RDS-TMC is not available in all countries.
