Route guidance in these areasWhen you are

.
Route presentationUsually the map highlights the active route
on verified roads with a blue line. After route calculation, the route may
contain unverified road sections. Here, the
exact route guidance is suppressed and
these route sections will appear as blue
dotted lines. This type of line e.g. connects
two verified road sections, which are
displayed as blue lines or connects the end
of a verified road with a stopover or
destination located on an unverified road.
iDisplayed or audible distance to the
beginning of such an area is an
estimation. The actual distance may
differ.Warning

route but it is safer. At your own risk, you
may choose to drive on the unverified roads
to the destination.
