navigation system MERCEDES-BENZ CL COUPE 2009 Owner's Guide

While route calculation is in progress, an
arrow will indicate the direction to your
destination. Below this, you will see a cor-
responding message in the display. Once
the route has been calculated, route guid-
ance begins.
Route calculation takes a certain amount
of time. The time depends on the distance
from the destination, for example. COMAND
calculates the route using the digital map
data. The calculated route may differ from the
actual road situation, e.g. due to road works
or incomplete map data. Please make sure
that you observe the notes about the digital
map (Y page 132). Entering a destination from the desti-
nation memory

memory.
The destination memory list appears either
with or without the input speller. Whether
or not the input speller is displayed
depends on the number of entries in the
destination memory.
i The destination memory always contains
an entry named My address. You may wish
to assign your home address to this entry,
for example (Y page 157). Like any other
entry, the My address entry can be selec-
ted using the input speller or from a list. Destination memory list with the input

Route guidance to an off-road destina-

which are not stored on the map. These are
off-road destinations. You can enter these, for
example, by entering the destination using
the map.
In these cases, COMAND guides you for as
long as possible on roads known to the sys-
tem. The section of the route from the last
known point on the map to the off-road des-
tination is indicated with a dashed line. It sim-
ply shows the direction to the off-road desti-
nation without taking account of any obsta-
cles in the way. :

tional arrow shows the compass heading to

Route guidance from an off-road loca-
tion to a destination The vehicle is in an off-road position if the
digital map does not contain any information
regarding the vehicle position. COMAND is
also able to guide you to a destination even
from such a location. The requirement for this
is that the vehicle position is within the area
covered by the digital map. At the start of
route guidance, you will see the
Off road
message and an arrow. The arrow shows the
compass heading to the actual destination.
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 sys-
tem, route guidance continues in the usual
way.

Off-road position during route guidance Due to road construction work, 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 tem-
porarily be unable to locate the vehicle posi-
tion on the digital map and thus considers the
vehicle to be in an off-road position. The Off
road message and an arrow indicating the
compass heading to the destination appear in
the display. As soon as the system can assign
the vehicle position to the map again, route
guidance continues in the usual way. Navigation announcements
