COMAND uses the time set in COMAND as
the basis for calculating the estimated arrival
time. The clock must be set correctly in
COMAND (
page 255). The calculation of the
estimated arrival time does not additionally take
into account whether Daylight Saving Time or
standard time is applicable at the destination. If
the destination is in a different time zone, arrival
time display 8
is in local time. This is indicated
by “LT” in the display.
The following data cannot be seen until the route
calculation has been completed:


Distance to destination

If the destination is located within a partially dig-
itized area, the following data may differ from the
facts:
